After beating the Denver Broncos, it’s easy to buy into the belief that the Patriots are once again the team to beat in the AFC. With the tie-breaker over the Broncos now secure, the Patriots need only to tie the Broncos to claim the top seed in the AFC, unless of course the Kansas City […]

The NFL has never been more popular and offenses have never been more efficient, but I also can't remember a point in my lifetime in which the league possessed so few truly great teams this late in the season.  When the majority of Week 13 games are played on Sunday and Monday, December will have […]

It's been a strange year in the NFL. Teams like Kansas City, Carolina, Arizona and Philly have become legitimate contenders after struggling the last few years. But when teams leave the bottom of the barrel, they usually have to be replaced.  What's really crazy is that those suddenly strong former basement-dwellers have been replaced by […]

Bruce Arians knew from the get go that his team could beat anyone, so long as the Cardinals stopped hurting themselves. After a rocky start to his first season as Arizona’s top coach, that idealism is quickly turning into reality. Since losing to the Seattle Seahawks over a month ago, the Cardinals have ripped off […]

A lot of bad officiating this week, so we'll spend a lot of time ripping the officials and the rules they're obligated to attempt to enforce. Here goes it. The stupidest fourth-down decision This was only slightly stupid, because it wouldn't have looked too bad had the kick been good, but I still don't agree […]

Just when we start to believe in the New York Jets, they have a way of crushing our hopes and dreams. Why the, did we think the 2013 Jets would be any different? Until Sunday, the Jets had neither won two games in a row nor lost two games in a row all season. That […]

The Indianapolis Colts continued to struggle against the very hot Arizona Cardinals. Indianapolis had been able to come from behind and win close games in recent weeks, but the Cardinals put there foot on the gas, and never let up. With a 24-point halftime lead, the Cardinals were never in danger of losing control of […]

The Houston Texans may not have hit rock bottom just yet, and after losing to the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars, that’s a scary thought. With the loss, the Texans have now dropped nine straight games, and they’re now dead last in the AFC South during a season in which they were supposed to make a run […]

A year ago, it would have been inconceivable to even put Robert Griffin III’s name in the same sentence as the word “bust,” but the NFL landscape changes quickly, and for the Washington Redskins, that change hasn’t gone in their favor.  A season ago, Griffin on the fast-track to becoming the next big star. Unlike […]

Just a few weeks ago, it appeared that Greg Schiano’s job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could end at any point. The Team started the season with eight straight losses, and had exiled the team’s former franchise quarterback after Josh Freeman and Schiano could not work out their differences. A lot has changed since then. […]

It's official. Field goals have just become too easy, and extra points are just useless now. A few decades ago, kickers became specialists and figured out that soccer style wasn't the way to go. Ever since, they've become more and more accurate. Now, field goals have become far too automatic.  Kickers are making 86 percent […]

Week 11 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 […]

The NFC East has been the strangest of all the divisions this season. The Cowboys jumped out early, then the Eagles made their own run, and of late, the New York Giants have been making a push to get back into the playoff mix after starting the season 0-6. The only team that’s really been […]

At 6-4, after consecutive losses to the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints, some people are beginning to question the San Francisco 49ers' decision to stick with Colin Kaepernick over Alex Smith. Don't be one of those people. Jim Harbaugh made the correct choice at the game's most vital position. Sure, Kaepernick has only two […]
