With the Ray Rice case dominating the NFL’s atmosphere, it’s easy to overreact to related situations league-wide that involve alleged domestic violence incidents. And that’s simply not fair. The league’s domestic violence policy has already been hardened by commissioner Roger Goodell, making it so that first-time violators of the policy are suspended six games, with […]

The New England Patriots have won the AFC East 10 of the last 11 years and five years in a row. But New England hasn’t increased its win total from the previous season since 2010. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins, who are the only other team to win the division in the last decade, have slowly […]

Trent Richardson is a rumbling bowling ball when he gets into the open field. But along with staying healthy, that last part — getting into the open field, ever — has been a problem throughout his first two NFL seasons. And early signs indicate little will change for Richardson this year. He has more than […]

It’s remarkable that Ray Rice’s disgusting actions have been met by equally disgusting inaction my NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but here we are. Understandably, the focus all week has been on the second surveillance tape which showed exactly what happened in that Atlantic City elevator between Rice and his then fiance. You’ve seen it repeatedly […]

Week 2 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 […]

Sunday, in the fifth quarter of a grind-it-out game against the Chicago Bears, the oldest player on the Buffalo Bills’ roster did this… Actually, Fred Jackson is the oldest running back in the NFL, period. Studies have shown that players at that position begin to decline at around 27, and most are out of the […]

It was always hard to take the 2013 Kansas City Chiefs seriously. They have a fine head coaching mind at the helm who was in his first season, and one of the best pass rushing tandems between Justin Houston and Tamba Hali. They also employ Jamaal Charles, a running back capable of turning a game […]

The NFL regular season is on, and so too is the MVP race. Too early to start gauging MVP chances, you say? Shut up. Uncool to tell your readers to shut up? Maybe, but we’re in a cheeky mode and this post is inevitably going to be dripping with sarcasm anyway. The MVP race through, […]

The embarrassing 17-6 loss to the lowly reigning NFL worst Texans on Sunday was a hit to the RG3 era. The fact that we witnessed a Robert Griffin III directed offense produce one scoring drive (with a blocked extra point to boot, thank you very much) in four quarters is alarming. Griffin ran three times […]

The Arizona Cardinals were impressively alright last night in a white-knuckle, 18-17 win over the Chargers considering the amount of losses and departures they had throughout the offseason. Between Daryl Washington (suspended), Karlos Dansby (in Cleveland), and Darnell Dockett (broken), three core defenders from last year’s unit that allowed the sixth fewest yards in the […]

Learning a new offense is not an easy thing to do in football. Let’s just get that out of the way off the top here, and state it as a simple fact. The challenge gets even more difficult when, like Eli Manning, you’re a quarterback who’s been the product of the same system since 2007. […]
