Stupidity comes in waves in this league. While last week was one of the stupidest of the NFL season thus far, there were only 13 games this weekend and the dumb moments were kept to a minimum. Still, we’ve got some goodies for you… The stupidest unnecessary roughness penalty  There’s at least one every week […]

Every week bones break and muscles rip around the NFL. We’ll take a look at the most significant injuries, and what happens next. It seems we’ve developed a bit of a theme with our weekly hurt rundown. A few weeks back it was a bad time to be a running back for the Buffalo Bills […]

When I start seeing Halloween decorations alongside sparkling Christmas ornaments in places where such things are sold, I have two questions: – Why? – When is an NFL head coach going to be fired? As the weather gets colder outside for most of us who don’t have the privilege of sunshine glory year-round, the temperature […]

Here are some of the most intriguing matchups to watch in Sunday’s slate of action. 1. Broncos DE DeMarcus Ware vs. Patriots LT Nate Solder The big clash in the AFC this week is loaded with intriguing individual matchups. Last season, the Broncos lacked a standout rusher opposite Von Miller, so they went out and […]

This has been a disaster season for the Vikings and the primary reason why has to be the suspension (of sorts) for Adrian Peterson. Not that the Vikings were a shoe in by any means with him, but without him it was clear they wouldn’t amount to much. That, and Teddy Bridgewater just isn’t ready […]

You’ll notice quite a few Ben Roethlisberger numbers this week, because that’s what happens when you pass for 522 yards and tie the fourth highest single-game total in league history. But first let’s start with a game that began in the wee hours Sunday morning, when the NFL booted its hottest mess across an ocean. […]

After a couple fairly un-stupid weeks, there was almost too much stupid for us to handle in Week 8… The stupidest roughing the passer penalty There’s usually one every week, sometimes more than one. This time, the victim was Tyrann Mathieu  of the Cardinals: Walt Anderson’s crew had a bad day, but this was the […]

Every week bones break and muscles rip around the NFL. We’ll take a look at the most significant injuries, and what happens next. Being a St. Louis Rams fan was always going to be difficult this season. Sam Bradford went down in August, and he’s average at best to begin with. He was replaced first […]

When Peyton Manning established a new all-time passing touchdowns record in Week 7 by heaving one into the endzone for the 509th time, the achievement represented not only success, but sustained success.
