Bills’ drafting E.J. Manuel lacked sound strategy

Since being promoted to the position of general manager, Buddy Nix's teams have gone 4-12, 6-10 and finally, 6-10. That's a crappy record that no general manager can actually defend. Why does he still have a job in the NFL? The worst part is 6-10 seems to be the high water mark for the Bills […]

The Browns have essentially forfeited the 2013 season

Usually we have to wait until late September to officially declare the Cleveland Browns dead in the water, but this year, I think it's safe to make that declaration following the first five rounds of the draft. Despite a completely overhauled and new regime, the same problems the Browns have faced in recent memory will […]

2013 NFL Draft: winners and losers of day two of the NFL draft

In a Day Two that only saw two more quarterbacks get drafted and the value of defensive lineman and linebackers sky-rocket, the 2nd day seemed to be just as interesting and still confusing as the 1st. The 49ers made out like bandits, the Cowboys struggled mightily, the Jets got a franchise quarterback, the Dolphins got […]

Offensive linemen dominate top 10 picks

This has been a strange draft to this point, and that's largely because the usual skill positions such as quarterback, wide receiver and running back have been abandoned in favor of selections of offensive linemen. Here's a quick recap of the top ten picks in tonight's draft: 1) Kansas City Chiefs: Eric Fisher (OT) 2) […]

2013 NFL Draft: ten questions to answer before the draft begins

The 2013 NFL Draft has been one of the most frustrating, exciting, unique, and unpredictable drafts I’ve ever covered. It seems to leave both draft followers and common fans scratching their heads and chomping at the bit for the draft to start. With so much uncertainty around the draft, I’ve tried to weave through the […]

Rumors before the draft are mostly smokescreens

In the hours leading up to the draft, we'll be hearing all sorts of rumors that Team A is trading up, and Team B is trading down. Team C wants Player A, and Team D is considering jumping back into the first round. By all means, listen to those rumors, but understand one thing, they're […]

Bills could trigger a run on quarterbacks

It's generally agreed upon by coaches, general managers, analysts and fans alike that this year's quarterback crop isn't up to par. Still, that doesn't mean we won't see a run on quarterbacks tomorrow night in the opening round of the draft. Here's how that might happen. The first thing that would need to happen to […]

Jaguars uniform review

Yesterday, we got our first up-close look at the Jacksonville Jaguars new uniforms. After taking the night to think about them, I've decided to pick them apart piece by piece. The Helmet The Jaguars' new helmets not only sport the team's new logo, they're also the only NFL helmets that utilize a color fade, going […]

What’s the ‘best’ draft strategy?

Every team in the NFL takes a different approach to the draft process. Some teams adhere to the so-called "best available player" strategy, or BAP. Others declare themselves to draft on the basis of needs, such as the Atlanta Falcons. Still others use other obscure ways of picking their players. The Raiders for instance used […]

Only Tampa Bay sought Revis trade

As we begin to get details on what ultimately sent Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay for a 1st round pick and a 4th round pick (turns into a 3rd round pick if Revis sticks with the Bucs), we're gaining enough information to conclude whether the Bucs won, the Jets won, or a bit of both. […]

Darrelle Revis to Bucs trade seems imminent

After a long period of going back and forth, it appears that the Buccaneers and the Jets have the general terms of a trade that would bring Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay. Yahoo's Jason Cole is reporting that the Buccaneers and the Jets have come to an agreement on the framework of a trade that […]

Sanchez thinks Jets brought the ‘circus’ on themselves

The Jets had more distractions last season than any other team in the NFL. Their "circus" was a result of unrealistic expectations and unneeded distractions from the media and fans. Tim Tebow didn't help matters any. In an interview with Fox Sports Radio's Petros and Money show, Mark Sanchez took what is perhaps a parting […]

Lions, Falcons could be movers in the draft

Mock drafts are useless. It's something that almost any NFL analyst would admit to, but they're also fun to play around with. That's why they're so prevalent especially in the final days leading up to the draft. One of the problems with mock drafts is that we never know just who will trade picks, moving […]

Pat Summerall remembered

Growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, football was always my favorite sport, and the combination of Pat Summerall and John Madden was the best broadcasting duo on television. Yesterday, the football world lost Pat Summerall, but he's one of the few broadcasters that transcended the game. Today, the football world moves on in […]
