Quarterbacks running for their lives

The NFL is a passing league, and to pass the ball efficiently, teams have to protect their trigger men. This is the list of those quarterbacks that don't have a chance, and frankly, probably never had a chance. These are the quarterbacks scrambling for their lives more often than for yards. Chad Henne/Blaine Gabbert, Jacksonville […]

Seahawks heading towards an early-season trap game?

Usually week three of the NFL season isn’t a time we talk about “trap games,” but the Jacksonville Jaguars are just that bad, and the Seattle Seahawks are just that good. Still, we can’t ignore a few key factors that may favor the Jaguars against head coach Gus Bradley’s former team. To start, no, the […]

The strategies behind the Trent Richardson trade

If you were surprised to hear the Colts had acquired Browns running back Trent Richardson through a high-stakes trade, you're not alone. The Browns shipped Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts Thursday in exchange for a 1st round, 2014 draft pick. The move may well work out for both teams involved, but there's no doubt […]

It’ll be years before we can determine who won the Trent Richardson trade

In one of the most shocking in-season trades in NFL history, sophomore running back Trent Richardson has been dealt from the Cleveland Browns to the Indianapolis Colts. Only 16 months ago, Richardson entered the league as the most highly-touted rookie back since Adrian Peterson, but there's a new regime in Cleveland now — one that […]

The Browns may be moving on from Brandon Weeden

The Browns’ decision to start backup quarterback Brian Hoyer over injured starter Brandon Weeden makes perfect sense to anyone that’s observed the Browns over the past couple of seasons. So far in 2013, Weeden has been pretty poor, throwing for three interceptions and only one touchdown. In a young man’s sport, it’s strange that the […]

Remembering when 400 passing yards was special

How is it possible that more quarterbacks have already hit the 400-yard mark this season than in the entire 2007 NFL campaign? How has the game changed that much in such a short amount of time?  Yup, four quarterbacks passed for 400 yards in '07. Kurt Warner, Drew Brees, Jon Kitna and Carson Palmer, all […]

No reason to doubt this year’s Bears squad

We’ve seen this from the Chicago Bears before. The team jumps out to a fast start to open up a year, and they slowly get off pace. Then, by the end of the year, they’re fighting for a wildcard position. Why should this year be any different? To start with, Jay Cutler is a true […]

Redskins in the middle of a delicate situation with Griffin III, Cousins

After starting the season 0-2, there are rumblings of discontent among Redskins fans. Some have openly clamored for the team’s young star quarterback, Robert Griffin III, to be benched in favor of backup Kirk Cousins, at least until Griffin is 100% healthy. The situation has the potential to go from mildly disruptive to outright explosive […]

This weekend in NFL stupid

There was so much stupid over kickoff weekend in the NFL that the law of averages indicated we'd have a lot less stupid in Week No. 2. That indeed was the case, but we still dug up some stupidity for ya'll. Enjoy. The stupidest penalty The San Francisco 49ers probably weren't going to make a […]

Bengals, Steelers looking to keep pace in the AFC North

Early season divisional matchups are always important, but tonight’s game between the Bengals and the Steelers holds particular importance for the teams involved. The winner will keep pace with the Baltimore Ravens atop the AFC North, but the loser will fall a game back in a division that could very easily be decided by a […]

Run for one; who’s in line for the first draft pick?

Jacksonville Jaguars Wow, the Jaguars’ offense is terrible. Regardless of whether Chad Henne or Blaine Gabbert is taking the snaps, there’s no offensive production. The good news for the Jaguars is, help is on the way. After week four, Justin Blackmon will be getting back on the field following his four-game suspension. The Jaguars, right […]
