Is Greg Schiano trying to save his own job by benching Freeman?

In the NFL, it doesn’t take long for someone to lose his job. That’s why it’s so important for players, coaches and even executives to be as proactive as possible in maneuvering themselves into the best possible positions. That’s what Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano appears to be doing in his move to […]

Eight interesting stats through Week 3 of the 2013 NFL season

Eight stats that stand out three weeks into the 2013 NFL regular season… 1. There have been eight games in which the team that was trailing scored the game-winning points in the final minute. In other words, that has happened 17 percent of the time. Unreal.  2. The Patriots might be 3-0, but Tom Brady […]

Elite Rookie Rankings Week 3

Another week in the books, and after a largely very impressive week 2 for the 2013 1st round class, we saw major regression in week 3. The overwhelming majority of the picks played quite poorly and most of them hampered their team's ability to win. All part of the growing pains of life in the […]

Broncos will stay the best so long as Manning stays on fire

Peyton Manning may not be the best quarterback of all time, and the Denver Broncos may not be the best team of all time, but one thing is certain. Both are extremely talented, and Manning is on a mad tear through the NFL. Usually, stats can be spun one way or another. Not so with […]

Blaine Gabbert to get one more shot with the Jags

After so many downs and so few ups, Jaguars third-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert may be getting ready to make his last push to remain an NFL starting quarterback. In relief for Blaine Gabbert, who suffered a throwing hand injury in week one, backup Chad Henne was nothing short of terrible, giving the Jaguars little hope […]

This weekend in NFL stupid

Some seriously stupid things happened in the stupid but awesome NFL this past weekend. Let's summarize… The stupidest fumble-related rule Robert Griffin III was driving the Washington Redskins down the field in the fourth quarter when he slid awkwardly after clearly giving himself up at the end of a first-down run. He fumbled and hadn't […]

Three weeks of chaos down; what will happen in the next three?

The NFL landscape is never predictable. That’s why it’s so surprising to see so many up in arms about the absolutely tumultuous start to the NFL seasons. The Giants and Steelers are stuck at 0-3 while teams like the Dolphins and the Chiefs are suddenly contenders at 3-0. With so many teams surprising us in […]

The run for one: Jaguars still the worst

We've put another Sunday in the books. Here's how the race for the first overall pick in the 2014 draft is shaping up after a day in which the Cleveland Browns put one in the win column, and in doing so, got themselves off this list, at least for now. Jacksonville Jaguars The Jacksonville Jaguars […]

Browns perform 180 by topping Vikings in Minnesota

The Brandon Weeden era in Cleveland appears over. That's the short takeaway from the Cleveland Browns' victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Brian Hoyer, formerly the Browns' third quarterback, now appears to be the man moving forward in Ohio. Sure, Hoyer wasn't perfect. In fact, he was far from perfect, throwing three interceptions to go with […]

Steelers trying to avoid 0-3 against the Bears

There are a number of great games today, but one that is circled on my schedule is tonight's matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bears are looking to get off to a truly solid 3-0 start while the Steelers are just trying to get in the game and avoid 0-3. These […]

Are the Colts building their team the right way?

With the Colts’ acquisition of running back Trent Richardson, all the pieces on offense seem to be in place for the Indianapolis Colts. Just two years removed from the worst season by any team since the 2008 Lions, the Colts look like a team ready to rise to the top of the league. The question […]

Starting quarterbacks already losing their jobs

Just two weeks into the regular season and we're already seeing the result of a pass driven league. Quarterbacks that entered the league as starters are already dropping like flies. The top stories of the week came from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Cleveland Browns. Apparently, the rift between Josh Freeman and head coach […]

The Kansas City Chiefs look playoff bound

It’s way too early in the season to begin making blanket statements about any given team, or at least most teams, but one thing is undeniable when talking about the Kansas City Chiefs. They look very, very good. After dispatching the Philadelphia Eagles’ high-octane offense, the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that has been marred […]
