Every week bones break and muscles rip around the NFL. We’ll take a look at the most significant injuries, and what happens next. Staying on the field has always been a problem for running backs in Carolina. But Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams usually have the courtesy to schedule their injuries at different times. This […]

The Arizona Cardinals just might be the real deal. Some critics probably counted them out this year, despite going 10-6 a year ago and stealing a win on the road against the eventual champion Seahawks. However, here they sit, 3-0 and ready to continue proving their doubters wrong. While they’re primed to do just that, […]

Larry Donnell is a massive human, and usually when you’re around someone of his size and general mountain-like stature, the assumption is he won’t exactly be nimble. At 6’6” and weighing 265 pounds he should be a lumbering lug, a behemoth who operates on the football field with force, not finesse. But he has plenty […]

This won’t be nearly as popular as the Tim Tebow cutout from a few years ago, because nothing on this Earth is as popular as something touched by the hand of Tebow. Alex Smith’s cutout is weirdly terrifying. Would you want this thing with its large forehead just sitting there at your desk, staring all […]

When Steve Smith was released by the Carolina Panthers back in March and then signed by the Ravens, he warned of “blood and guts” coming during the Week 4 game between the two teams. As a safety precaution he urged everyone to wear goggles. DeAngelo Williams believes in a safe workplace. I’m ready for sunday

We’re back for our look at some key matchups from Week 4’s biggest games. 1. Eagles C David Molk vs. 49ers DL Justin Smith A lot of the Eagles’ offensive success in 2013 was powered by an integrated offensive line that played together for all 16 games. Against the Redskins in Week 3, they were […]

Four quarterbacks were selected in the first round of the 2004 NFL draft. A decade later, there are four Super Bowl rings split between Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger, and we can only assume J.P. Losman is surfing somewhere. But Philip Rivers—the other guy who’s still very much in the league—may have now developed into […]

Week 4 in the NFL is here, and you might be entering the weekend with your own preferences regarding which games to focus on, and which to place on the backburner. Most of you have your favorites and fantasy players to track. But in case you’re completely neutral or need help breaking ties with regard […]

Remember the 2011 Buffalo Bills, and how their season ended? Of course you don’t. Only the faithful Bills mafia would have room in their memories for such a thing, and even they’re trying to forget. That year the Bills started the season 3-0 and there was boundless optimism again in upstate New York. Then they […]

Three weeks, three different MVP race leaders. It’s quite the battle, though, between the quarterbacks who met in last year’s Super Bowl. Following closely are quarterbacks for two of the three remaining 3-0 teams as well as two more quarterbacks off to solid starts. So yeah, quarterbacks. 1. Russell Wilson, Seahawks — He out-dueled Peyton […]

In the fast-paced, reactionary world we live in, the NFL Draft is not immune to the immediate grades, projections and implications. While those immediate notes about a draft class can be telling in terms of value gotten each round, trade impacts and where team’s valued needs and scheme fits, the actual “grade” of a draft […]

The Jaguars are a team in the dumps and every season they seem to sink further into the abyss of NFL irrelevance. The 0-3 start certainly hasn’t helped as it has already become clear this will be another season with no playoff berth. Jacksonville is a team that struggles to get fan support and has […]

For the record, the correct answer here is always one horse-sized duck. That big lug will lack any maneuverability whatsoever, and those tiny horses can pack a mean kick, man.

Jay Gruden’s Washington Redskins have lost two of their first three games this season. So we can safely assume his cats have had a few pretty rough weeks. Jay Gruden, life at home after a loss. “I yell at my cats to get out of my bed. They have these bells on them. And they […]

After two weeks with only Derek Carr as the lone rookie quarterback starter, we got the chance to see Blake Bortles and Teddy Bridgewater get onto the field and begin the “futures” for their respective teams. Those rookie quarterbacks plus the emergence of Kyle Fuller as one of the best NFL cornerbacks so far this […]
