This weekend in NFL stupid

There were only 11 games in the NFL Sunday, and most of them were what I like to call "blah." It wasn't the strongest weekend of football, but there was still enough stupidity to satisfy those who enjoy criticizing such things. The stupidest penalty By keeping the ball on the ground on a third-and-14 with […]

Matt Schaub benching a sign of desperation from the Texans

The Houston Texans aren’t in a good place coming off their bye week. Although Matt Schaub’s health is described as “fine” by head coach, but the team is instead going with Case Keenum as their starting quarterback. At just 2-5, the Texans are hanging onto postseason hopes by a thread, and one misstep will end […]

The silver lining: Sunday losers not down and out

Today was a rough day for a lot of teams around the NFL. Still, one game is never the end of the world, unless of course we’re talking about the Super Bowl. Even with some tough results, there was still a lot for losing teams to take away from Sunday’s games. Dallas Cowboys 30, Detroit […]

Jaguars could trade the top pick of the draft instead of taking a quarterback

The Jacksonville Jaguars are one of the most quarterback needy teams in the NFL, and it seems very likely they’ll be entering the 2014 draft with the top selection, meaning any quarterback heading into the NFL will be available. Many, myself included, assume the Jaguars would use a top pick on that position, but there’s […]

The New York Giants are back in the playoff race with a win Sunday

The New York Giants are facing a huge uphill battle. Like the Pittsburgh Steelers before them, the New York Giants are trying to climb their way back into the playoff race after a very slow start to the season. The Steelers are getting back into the mix after just a 0-4 start. The Giants, however, […]

Greg Schiano likely first coach out the door, but when will it happen?

After seven games, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are just one of two teams left without a win. Their AFC counterpart, the Jacksonville Jaguars, were at least expected to play in such terrible fashion. The Buccaneers, by contrast, had hoped to make some noise in the playoff picture, but that ship has come, picked up its […]

Steelers must remain wary of a trap game against the Raiders

With the New England Patriots just around the corner, it would be easy for the Pittsburgh Steelers to forget that the Oakland Raiders are on this weekend’s schedule. The Patriots, unlike the Raiders present a measuring stick game that could push the Steelers firmly back into the playoff mix. That can’t happen, however, if the […]

Bubble teams keep the NFL interesting

The NFL is composed of three tiers of teams. The top tier encompasses the teams that barely break a sweat making it into the postseason. This year, that would include teams such as the Chiefs, Broncos and the Seahawks. The bottom tier is the other well-defined group. This is the group that is out of […]

Week 8 NFL game viewability rankings

Week 8 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 […]

AFC South sinks to a new low as the NFL’s worst division

Every division in football is full of competitive teams. That’s what NFL football is all about. Still, there’s usually a group of four that stands above the rest as the best division, and then there’s a group that makes everyone else look good. Until recently, the NFC West was our go-to division for failure. Usually, […]

Why aren’t injuries decreasing with new rules?

Year after year, the NFL is adopting new rules aimed primarily at decreasing the number of injuries players are suffering. Defensive players complain that they can no longer go high or low, and anything involving a helmet has pretty much been banned. The kickoff spot has been moved forward to create fewer returns and new […]

In certain situations, quarterback wins and losses DO matter

Quarterbacks shouldn't be judged by wins and losses. A simple, logical statement, one that's becoming widely accepted as truth by more NFL fans every day. Football's a team game, and we are rarely, if ever, aware of the career win-loss records for running backs, safeties or linebackers. Therefore, it's pretty reasonable that quarterback "wins" shouldn't […]
