JaMarcus Russell still isn’t ready for the NFL. That much seems clear after Jeff Garcia, who helped get Russell into shape over the summer, said that Russell was set back by his $3 million settlement with the Oakland Raiders. "When he got that settlement from Oakland, that $3 million dollar-plus settlement, I think things got soft […]

Everyone's been talking about how bad the "NFC Least" is. And since I cover that division full-time for Bleacher Report, this is my chance to break from the depression and take a look at some of the stronger divisions in the NFL. Let's rank the divisions from top to bottom, seven weeks in: 1. AFC […]

Nine years ago, Jeff Garcia was the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. And at that point, Garcia was considered to be old. He was 34 and beyond his prime, and he posted a shabby passer rating of 76.7 while losing eight of his 11 starts under center.  Nearly a decade later, the Browns quarterback […]

The Colts are in the midst of once again outrunning season expectations, but there’s an elephant in the room that no one seems to be willing to address. That Trent Richardson trade was a bad idea. Seriously, it’s not working for the Colts. Since joining the Colts, Trent Richardson has averaged just three yards per […]

Sam Bradford of the St. Louis Rams won't see the field again this season. The larger question is if he should ever see the field again for the Rams. Bradford blew out his ACL in Sunday's game against Carolina, and is on injured reserve. After four uneven seasons, it's time for the Rams to evaluate […]

Where to begin with the stupidity from Week 7? While nothing stood out in extreme fashion, there might have been more stupid this week in the NFL than any of the first six weeks of 2013. It's only a shame that we publish this stupid post before Monday Night Football, because this Minnesota Vikings-New York […]

The Panthers are one of the strangest teams in the NFL. When facing outright bad teams, the Carolina Panthers look like one of the best squads in the league. Against competitive teams, it all falls apart for the Panthers. In their three wins, the Panthers’ margin of victory averages out to 26 points per game, […]

Don’t look now, but the Pittsburgh Steelers, who started the season with four straight losses, aren’t dead in the water yet. With their latest victory, a three-point walk off win over the Ravens, the Steelers are back in the AFC North picture, and they’re looking for more. After starting 0-4, the Steelers caught a break […]

Last night, on NBC, Peyton Manning made his emotional return to Indianapolis in the most heavily hyped game of the NFL season. Tonight, on ESPN, the 0-6 Giants host the 1-4 Vikings in a game only relevant in the world of fantasy football.  According to the Elias Sports Bureau, tonight's matchup is, on paper,

The early round of games Sunday afternoon was highlighted by thrilling finishes. The close finishes will always demand our immediate attention, but in the long run, the Buccaneers’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons was one of the most important games of the day. With their win, the Falcons are trying to get themselves back into […]

Today’s battle between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles is more than a game to determine who will be leading the NFC East. It’s also a battle that could decide who carries an advantage into week 17. In a strange twist of fate, the Cowboys will host a week 17 game against the Eagles. […]
