Elite Rookie Rankings Week 13

The 1st round picks have wrapped up the 3rd quarter of the season and have four games left to play. This week I graded Ezekial "Ziggy" Ansah the highest for his two sacks on Thanksgiving, contributing in a big way to the Lions' dominating defensive performance. Overall week 13 was a poor week for the […]

Football in 2030: The state of the NFL

It’s 2013, and the National Football League rules the American sports sphere. But nothing last forever. One day, inevitably, a new sport will take over as America’s top pastime, leaving the NFL in the same wake that contains boxing and baseball. That day won’t be today or tomorrow, but let’s fast-forward 5,873 days to Jan. […]

Will Adrian Peterson finish as one of the five best backs of all time?

Adrian Peterson is inarguably the best pure runner in football. His 211 yard performance against Chicago in Week 13 carried the Vikings to an overtime victory, further cemented his ranking as the league-leader in rushing yards, and put him over 10,000 yards for his career. No one doubts that the two-time rushing champ and defending […]

This weekend in NFL stupid

A whole lot of stupid this week, so let's jump right in. The stupidest challenge Mike Shanahan cost his team a timeout in the fourth quarter of a close game by challenging whether Brandon Myers of the Giants made first-down yardage on this play… The stupidest technicality within a smart rule I understand why the […]

Should Rex Ryan lose his job over the Jets’ offensive implosion?

After fighting their way into postseason contention in spite of preseason expectations, the New York Jets are once again falling back to earth, and they’re doing so at an alarming rate. Since the bye week, the Jets have lost three games in a row by a combined total of 79 to 20. With the Jets […]

Bears’ playoff hopes circling the drain after loss to the Vikings

After losing in heart-breaking fashion to the Minnesota Vikings, the Bears are on the outside looking in. The race for the NFC’s final playoff position is continuing to heat up, and although the loss is serious blow to the Bears’ postseason aspirations, they’re not out of the running just yet. Although the Bears are technically […]

What can the Jets do to get back on track?

While looking over the AFC playoff picture, something caught my eyes in the net points column. Most teams in the playoff race are hovering within a couple touchdowns of breaking even in net points, but the New York Jets are an anomaly. At -101 net points, they’re better than only the Jacksonville Jaguars. Early in […]

6 Things We Learned on Thanksgiving

School and work are out on Thanksgiving, so Americans really have no obligation to learn. And while that's refreshing, anyone who parked themselves in front of the television and spent the day watching football inevitably learned some things about the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's […]

Steelers down but not out after loss to the Ravens

After losing on Thanksgiving Day to the Baltimore Ravens, it would be easy to dismiss the Steelers from any playoff discussion, but doing so would be premature at best. Going into this week’s games, the Steelers were tied with a handful of teams at 5-6 for the final AFC playoff position. The Steelers biggest hurdle […]

The Packers now face a bleak prognosis for the 2013 playoff race

With their most recent loss coming at the hands of the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, the Green Bay Packers have put themselves into a corner. While they haven’t been eliminated from the playoff race, there’s little they can do to get themselves back in the race. Even if Aaron Rodgers comes back next week, […]
