There’s no conspiracy to help the Dallas Cowboys

Football games aren’t determined by a single whistle, or a single ruling by an official. That doesn’t happen, and it wasn’t about to start Sunday with some wild grassy knoll style conspiracy to help the Dallas Cowboys advance past the Detroit Lions. The events of Sunday at the 8:25 mark in the fourth quarter of […]

This weekend in NFL stupid

We’ve been doing this thing all season, with 12-16 games to work with each week. And yet we may have more stupid to report coming out of a four-game wild-card weekend than we did all year. Hard to believe considering these teams and officials are supposed to be the best of the best, but this […]

How much longer will Andy Dalton have in Cincinnati?

On Sunday, the Cincinnati Bengals fell 26-10 to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Cincinnati, without star receiver A.J.

The Rams appear headed to Los Angeles soon

The St. Louis Rams might be a thing of the past in short order.

The end of Ndamukong Suh as a Detroit Lion

Ndamukong Suh has been one of the best players in football since being drafted second-overall by the Detroit Lions in the 2010 NFL draft. While issues have arisen about his on-field conduct, nobody could argue Suh’s production in the middle of the defensive line, helping Detroit go from afterthoughts to playoff contenders throughout his tenure. […]

The All-Pro Team is losing credibility

For years, being a Pro Bowler has often been overrated. That’s because a voting process that involves fans can easily turn the NFL’s all-star game into a popularity contest. Too many rubber stamps exist, which is why All-Pro honors have always been given more weight. The All-Pro teams are selected by 50 members of the […]

Four teams that enter the offseason feeling good

For 20 teams in the National Football League, the offseason is here. Some have major work to do while some can make some minor tweaks before the NFL Draft Combine in mid-February. While organizations like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets and Washington Redskins have ample moves to execute before they are even respectable, […]

Five teams which should target new starting quarterbacks in 2015

The National Football League is about personnel turnover. Every season, each roster looks different from the prior year, sometimes by a little and sometimes radically. Thanks to the salary cap and the draft, teams are constantly bringing in new players while letting others go in hopes of getting that elusive Super Bowl ring. Most moves […]

Which wild card team has the best chance to win the Super Bowl?

The NFL introduced the wild card playoff system in 1970. Of course, the sleek and sexy wild card moniker wasn’t officially adopted until several years later, because everything needs a hip name. But the concept of including a wild card team—or later teams, the format we now know well— has been around in some form […]

Playoff QBs Look to Prove Themselves, Enhance Legacies

The NFL playoffs are upon us as the Wild Card round gets set to kickoff Saturday afternoon. As is the case every season, quarterback play will be magnified during the postseason, but this year’s group of playoff signal-callers looks to be one that can handle the pressure.

Who should the San Francisco 49ers hire next?

The San Francisco 49ers are in the search for a new head coach. An organization which has reached the NFC Championship game three times in the past four years is going in a different direction, moving on from Jim Harbaugh.

Ranking the Top Five Offensive and Defensive Rookie Performances This Year

The 2014 rookie class has been one of the best in recent memory, with receivers dominating the headlines as arguably the best class in NFL rookie history and defensive front-seven players being asked to shoulder the load of their respective defenses’ success.
