NFL replay reviews are often annoying and a little boring. They interrupt the ebb and flow of the game, which means they kind of suck. That is until they save your team in a crucial moment. Once that happens, you take back everything you ever said about instant replay.  The NFL and its friends in […]

In the past several years, there’s been an intense focus on the quarterback position, and such a focus isn’t unwarranted either. Teams featuring an elite passer are nearly always in the playoffs, and as anyone who has been watching the NFL for some time knows, once you’re in the show, anything can happen. Last year, […]

We all know Trent Richardson has been embarrassingly bad this season, but the Indianapolis Colts continue to insist that they're happy with their decision to trade a first-round pick for Richardson earlier this year.  That's not surprising, because…well, what would you expect them to say at this junction? Richardson is still on the roster and […]

To build a successful offense in the NFL, teams have to find a quarterback that can pull the trigger and win games in clutch moments. Those quarterbacks need a few things to succeed as well. Quarterbacks need offensive weapons, preferably a running game and, although it’s overlooked more times than not, pass protection. The Kansas […]

The San Francisco 49ers, after making a trip to the Super Bowl just a season ago, are now in big trouble. No, they’re not in full-blown scramble mode to make up ground in the wildcard race, but they’re falling flat at a time they should be making a run to the playoffs. The magic that […]

From 1993 to 2011, the following men quarterbacked their teams to a Super Bowl Championship: Troy Aikman, Steve Young, Brett Favre, John Elway, Kurt Warner, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. Sure, there's the occasional Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson, but for the last 20 seasons Hall of […]

Lucky us. This was one of the stupidest weeks of the 2013 NFL season. At least thus far. Details… The stupidest roughing the passer penalty This week, the "award" goes to a defensive player for taking a stupid penalty, not an official for throwing a stupid flag. The San Diego Chargers forced a turnover inside […]

One of my favorite internet memes is legendary WWE announcer Jim Ross' commentary being dubbed over memorable sports plays.  While this usually means the familiar line "as God is my witness he is broken in half" from this famous moment, you have to give credit to one YouTube user for expanding the meme and giving […]

Around this time each season, the contenders begin making their move towards the postseason while the pretenders of the NFL begin to fall by the wayside. This season is no different, and the NFC North is a perfect example of how competitive the NFL really is down the stretch. The NFC North is a three-horse […]

In the early round of games, the Cincinnati Bengals pushed their own advantage in the AFC North by topping the second-place Cleveland Browns. Later Sunday evening, the Chicago Bears helped the Bengals out even more by toppling the Baltimore Ravens in overtime. The Bears and Ravens began their scheduled game at 1:00 PM Eastern time, […]

The Cleveland Browns won their way into an opportunity to make a play at the AFC North division title, but the Bengals were able to push back against the Browns on Sunday afternoon, reasserting themselves as the AFC North division leader. In recent weeks, the Bengals have lacked the explosive ability they built their division […]

During most seasons, a 4-5 team is in poor position to make a postseason push, but that hasn’t been the case this season. The AFC in particular is in rough shape at the bottom end. Sure, the usual suspects are looking as stout as ever, but the conference gets thins fast as we move down […]

Jake Locker walked into a difficult situation when he was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2011. At that time, the Titans were the very definition of mediocrity, and there seemed to be little direction on offense or defense. In reality, not much has changed since that point. The Titans aren’t the most talented team […]
