Detroit Lions 41, Green Bay Packers 45 Have you heard of Matt Flynn? You’re about to. Flynn, filling in for Aaron Rodgers at quarterback for the Packers, set a franchise record with 6 touchdown throws to top the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field. Oh yeah, he also threw for 480 yards on 31 completions. Flynn, […]

Rex Ryan has become the poster boy in the NFL for trash talk. He’s been predicting a Jets Super Bowl since showing up in New York, and he’s yet to deliver on those prophesies. While it’s still unclear whether anyone is still taking what Ryan says seriously, that doesn’t stop him from rubbing his opponents […]

After crushing the resurgent Chargers this week, the Lions clinched their first playoff birth since 1999. This was not a total shock to the league, as Detroit has put together a solid young roster, and with Matt Stafford staying healthy for the whole year, a playoff spot was well within their grasp. But what many […]

When you look at the NFC’s Pro Bowl roster, it’s hard to argue against any of the quarterbacks that made the cut. Aaron Rodgers should be a shoo in to win the 2011 MVP, and Drew Brees just eclipsed Dan Marino’s single season passing record with another game to play. There’s no doubt that they […]

If you’re a fan of passing, this was the game for you. Unfortunately for fans of football in general, the Saints didn’t let the Falcons hang around and make it a game. Both quarterbacks had unbelievable games, but the score didn’t indicate that for the Falcons. Drew Brees broke Dan Marino’s record for most yards […]

  The Chicago Bears showed so much promise this season once they got their feat under them after a shaky start. They started just 2-3 before rattling off 5 consecutive wins. That all seems like years ago. The Bears are winless since beating the Chargers. That was the game that their season changed for the […]

As if there was any doubt, we can now announce that the Green Bay Packers are back on track, propelled by another incredible effort from Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers, who looked like a touchdown throwing robot, threw for 283 yards on 21 completions and those included 5, yes 5 touchdowns. The game itself actually stayed very […]

Philadelphia Eagles 20, Dallas Cowboys 7 I got my Christmas wish one night early. The Dallas Cowboys will be traveling to New York to play the Giants for the NFC East championship. The loser of that game will go home while the winner will prepare to host a playoff game. While it’s currently scheduled for […]

New York Giants 29, New York Jets 14 This was by far and beyond my pick for “game of the week.” What could be better? The two teams from the Big Apple duking it out with both of their potential playoff lives on the line. That’s the definition of meaningful football. Unfortunately for the Jets, […]

Here’s how the playoffs stacks up right now:   The way I see the playoffs shaping up, there’s only three playoff spots that can still be considered up for grabs. The Steelers have locked up a spot for themselves in the AFC, and it would seem as if the Falcons and the Lions have done […]

Everyone knew this day would come sooner or later. Finally, it could be upon us. Now that the Tennessee Titans are likely out of playoff contention and Matt Hasselbeck is banged up, it is time for the Jake Locker era to begin in Tennessee. Sunday was a day that Titans fans would rather just forget. […]

What I Liked: Despite a couple of power failures at Candlestick Park, the San Francisco 49ers were able to easily handle the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers. In doing so, they were able to rebound from a terrible game against the Cardinals, a game that they had no business losing. Even though the 49ers’ offensive numbers were […]
