NFL Reactor: Detroit Dukes It Out With Green Bay

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, […]

Talk Is Cheap; Just Play The Game

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 […]

The Detroit Lions Are Building A Long-Term Winner

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 […]

Matthew Stafford Snubbed From The Pro Bowl

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 […]

NFL Reactor: New Orleans Destroys Atlanta; Brees Sets Yardage Record

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 […]

Behind The Bears Woes

  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 […]

I Know It’s Only Rock N Roll But I Like It! NFL Week 16 Recap!

New York Giants 29 New York Jets 14 – My Hometown by Bruce Springsteen The New York Giants chose to stay out of the tabloids and keep their mouth shuts and let their play do the talking and it certainly played off. After an ugly 1st half by both teams the Giants eventually took over behind […]

Packers Back On Track; Bears Eliminated From Playoff Contention

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 […]

NFL Reactor: Big D, New York Gear Up For NFC East Title Game

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 […]

NFL Reactor: Jets Drop Out, Bengals Back In

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, […]

If The Season Ended Today: Three Spots Up For Grabs

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 […]

Chicago Benches Caleb Hanie For Josh McCown

According to NFL.com, the Chicago Bears will be heading in a different direction this weekend to try to save their once promising season. The Bears will be starting Josh McCown in place of embattled backup Caleb Hanie. The decision was made on Wednesday, and it comes at the most dire of times. The Bears will […]

Time To Move On; Jake Locker Should Start In Tennessee

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. […]

NFL Reactor: Power Outages Can’t Slow 49ers

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 […]

The Chiefs Aren’t Dead Just Yet

Yesterday, Kansas City fans were treated to what will likely be their biggest win of the season when the Chiefs knocked off the formerly undefeated Green Bay Packers. With the win, the Chiefs remained alive in the AFC West divisional race, along with the other three teams in the division. The Chiefs currently sit at […]
