Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys rallied late to beat the Washington Redskins away from home, keeping their playoff hopes alive and well. There’s something we don’t normally say of the Cowboys. Let’s be clear about this. Tony Romo and the Cowboys weren’t perfect against the Redskins. In fact, it was one of the ugliest […]

There are a number of bubble teams searching for a playoff spot that really have no business in the postseason. The Ravens have been woefully inconsistent, as have the Dolphins, and is there anyone that thinks the Steelers could go anywhere if they somehow make it into the playoffs? There is, however, one team that […]

When it comes to the NFL's coach of the year odds, a lot of "ifs" are in play. If the Miami Dolphins finish 2-0 and make the playoffs, Joe Philbin will deserve a ton of consideration for getting them there despite all of the tumult caused by the Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin fiasco.  If the Philadelphia […]

So Sheldon Richardson has had one hell of a year with the New York Jets. He's played so well, in fact, that the rookie thinks he'd be the No. 1 overall pick if we could all go back in time. We can't (yet), and so Richardson will forever be referred to as a No. 13 […]

"—te" is the new spelling for elite because ELI is missing. Eli Manning, first-round Draft pick and two-time Super Bowl winner, is suffering through his worst season since his rookie year in 2004. His Giants team has lost three of their last four games and their last loss was a skunk by the Seahawks. Eli's […]

Five weeks ago, the Detroit Lions were sitting pretty atop the NFC North. Everything was going their way. The Bears and Packers had been completely decimated by injuries, and although the Lions had to deal with the usual amount of NFL injury-related struggles, the key players on the team were well and ready to play. […]

Week 16 in the NFL is almost 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 […]

Heading into the playoffs, there’s no question warm weather teams can benefit greatly from home field advantage. Usually, such an advantage allows teams to avoid cold climates throughout the playoffs, including the Super Bowl, but the 2014 Super Bowl will be a bit different. New York City is about to host the much awaited cold […]

Detroit Lions quarterback and former No. 1 overall draft pick Matthew Stafford is by no means a bust. But after another disappointing performance Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens, it's fair to start wondering if Stafford might simply never live up to expectations as a franchise quarterback in the Motor City.  After tossing three picks […]

The Seattle Seahawks are one win away from not having to pack their bags again until the month of February. With a win or a 49ers loss, Seattle will wrap up the top overall seed in the NFC and try to ride their perfect home record all the way to New York and a spot […]

At 4-9-1, there’s little overt optimism when considering the Minnesota Vikings’ 2013 campaign. Looking a little closer, however, we see that there is in fact a silver lining that has developed for the Vikings, and that would be quarterback Matt Cassel. In the seven games that Matt Cassel has taken snaps, the Vikings are a […]

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has never been one to be patient while his team flounders in mediocrity. Although he’s stuck by head coach Jason Garrett longer than most of his hires, his patience must be wearing thin, and if the Cowboys squander yet another chance to make the playoffs, Garrett’s job status will suddenly be […]

Play-call bashing has become an epidemic. It needs to stop. I've been a part of it. You've been a part of it. Your dad's been a part of it. We all have. However, it's only been in the past few years that I've realized criticizing specific play calls is foolish, off-base and, most importantly, rooted […]
