If you read about the playoff picture after week 8, you may have noticed something peculiar in the AFC. The Buffalo Bills are currently the second seed in the AFC; while the Patriots are the 6 seed. As the vast majority of you know, there’s only 6 spots in the playoffs for each conference. The […]

Notes from Shane The Chargers took a big hit in their Monday night loss to the Chiefs. It’ll be tough for them to stop the bleeding as they play host to the Green Bay Packers this weekend. I finally rewarded the Chiefs for their highly impressive four game winning streak. Notes from Will Sticking my […]

The Chargers had the game won. It was 20-20 with just over a minute left. The Chargers were content milking the clock down to about three seconds and kicking the game winning field goal as time expired. On Halloween night, fate decided to give the Chargers a trick instead of a treat. Phillip Rivers’ job […]

New England Patriots 17, Pittsburgh Steelers 25 The Steelers came out of the gate and punched the Patriots in the mouth. The Patriots trailed the whole way, and they were never able to mount a comeback. When they finally cut the lead to six points late in the game, they couldn’t get an immediate stop […]

Back in April, there was a lot of talk surrounding the Bills about the possibility of drafting their next franchise quarterback. That talk ended without a rookie quarterback. Instead the Bills chose to make Ryan Fitzpatrick the face of the franchise, and

At this point in the season, it’s hard to argue against the New England Patriots as the AFC’s best team. Prior to Monday night, you could have made a strong argument for the Ravens as the best team in the conference, but once again, they failed to live up to the expectations and hype surrounding […]

Notes from Shane: Confusing: The Ravens seem like they may have become the new “yeah but” team in the NFL. The Texans are still confusing as well, but the Ravens only losses have come at the hands of the Titans and the Jaguars. Those are real head scratchers. Looking Up: The Steelers’ offensive line has […]

The Jaguars played out-of-this-world defense against the Baltimore Ravens in a huge upset win. The Jaguars, with the win, snap a five game losing streak, and they deal the Ravens their second loss. The big story from this game was that the Ravens didn’t gain an offensive first down until the third quarter. To say […]

Indianapolis Colts 7, New Orleans Saints 62 What I Liked: The Saints’ big question going into the night was how the play-calling would work. The answer was simple. Spectacularly. Pete Carmichael, the Saints little known offensive coordinator, handled the offensive play-calling duties, and the Saints’ offense didn’t miss a beat. To be honest, it’s hard […]

Today, we’ve done things a little differently, and we’re continuing that with the late games. Many of our great writers have submitted their reactions as they’ve watched the game, and this is what they had to say: Pittsburgh Steelers 32, Arizona Cardinals 20 The Steelers were expected to walk all over a struggling Cardinals team, […]

With NFL football just another day away, I think it’s important to take stock of some of the story lines as we move into week 7. First off, I want to point out that the AFC North has three teams sitting with four wins. The Ravens, Steelers, and Bengals are all vying for the top […]

The Green Bay Packers were able to get hot at the right time, last year, as they ran through the playoffs to their first Super Bowl since Brett Favre’s pair of trips to the promise land in the late 90s. Last year, the Bears won the division, but they were upset by the Packers in […]

The Steelers have been able to put together a 4-2 record through six games. It hasn’t always been pretty, but they’ve been able to get the job. The Steeler should be able to push their current record to five wins this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals, but from there, it gets a little bit more […]

Notes from Will: Biggest Fallers: The Texans (-5). Still falling, and looking like a shell of themselves. Something needs to happen here, or this could get ugly. Biggest Risers: The Cowboys (+5). Rob Ryan’s defense is for real, and Tony Romo is doing enough to keep them in games. Even though they didn’t win, it […]
