The Indianapolis Colts cut Peyton Manning. A year and a half later, those words are still surprising. While both parties have fared well since parting ways, the move is still shrouded in misinformation and controversy. As Manning prepares to lead his Denver Broncos into Indianapolis next Sunday, now is the perfect time to revisit the […]

Houston Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has served as the head coach for five NFL teams over the course of his career, compiling a record of 82-59. It’s not a terrible mark by any stretch of the imagination, but Phillips has only won one postseason game as a head coach in his. Even worse, Phillips, […]

With six weeks of NFL football now in our rearview mirror, it’s about the time of year we begin considering two looming events, the playoffs and head coaches getting their pink slips. Today, we’ll be focusing on the latter. Although there are a number of terrible teams around the league, some coaches have a “get […]

Quite a lot of stupid to hit on this week, so let's get right into it… The stupidest inconsistent officiating trend Time for a stupid flashback to another stupid week. Specifically, Week 3, when we were highly critical of a ruling that cost Robert Griffin III a fumble and may have ultimately cost the Washington […]

Starting a season 6-0 in the NFL is an impressive feat that usually results in media hype leading into every game. “Will Team X stay unbeaten as they travel to City Y to play Team Y?” With just two perfect teams left in the NFL, one would believe both those teams would garner a large […]

Following difficult losses, it’s easy to pick out which teams will bounce back and which teams are more likely to fold. After their own misfortunes Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans are both trailing in their conferences’ respective playoff races, but the two teams appear headed in completely different directions too. After getting the […]

With just minutes to go, the Patriots decided it was their time to take their last shot against the New Orleans Saints on fourth down deep in their own territory. The Saints’ defense held firm, and that should have been the end of the Patriots. Then something funny happened. The Saints went conservative, settling for […]

The Houston Texans fell to 2-4 against the St. Louis Rams in stunning fashion. Although Matt Schaub played reasonably well before being knocked out of the game with an ankle injury. Then, T.J. Yates entered the game, and the Texans still weren't able to make their situation any better, ultimately losing 38 to just 13. […]

It's been a strange year. That much is obvious. The Giants are 0-6, the Steelers are 0-4, and the Green Bay Packers would be left out of the playoffs if the tournament started tonight. While the AFC has seen its fair share of strange results, the NFC reigns as the current King of Odd. To […]

The historic fine levied against Ndamukong Suh for a low block on Vikings center John Sullivan has been upheld according to the Associated Press. The fine of $100,000 was, at the time, the largest fine ever handed down for on-field play. Since then, that fine has been equaled by the $100,000 fine of Dashon Goldson. […]

This weekend’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets is huge for a number of different reasons. The Steelers, currently 0-4, are desperately trying to keep touch with the Ravens, Browns and Bengals, all currently 3-2. The Steelers are catching the New York Jets at the worst of times too. After a […]

There are a lot of terrible teams in the NFL, and by and large, it’s easy to see why those teams perform so poorly. Still, there are a few teams in the league’s cellar that really make no sense at all. The New York Giants may be the best example of such a team this […]

By now, most of us are aware of the New York Daily News’ two covers featuring Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith. Although the dates of publication are years apart, the headline is exactly the same. “A Star is Born.” In the NFL, winning is all about scoring points. Rule changes of the past decade have […]

The Houston Texans are a good football team. I can say that with 100% honesty all the while keeping a completely straight face. So, if we work off the base premise that the Texans are indeed a good football team, why has their season gone from on track to terribly wrong in just a few […]
