Colts too reliant on Andrew Luck in loss to Dolphins

The Indianapolis Colts attempted to push their record to 2-0 earlier this afternoon, but the Miami Dolphins were too much to handle. The Colts lost the game 20-24, but the big takeaway from the game wasn’t the final result; it was what happened on the field in Indianapolis. Andrew Luck, who has been touted as […]

Titans plan to move forward with the running game

The Tennessee Titans are taking a step forward by going back to the past. Once upon a time, you won games in the NFL by running the ball and stopping the run. That hasn’t been the case for quite some time, but that isn’t going to stop the Tennessee Titans from running the ball whenever […]

Bengals could put the Steelers’ season on thin ice with a win

Following an embarrassing week one loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Pittsburgh Steelers have put themselves in a rough spot. The team will be visiting the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, hoping to get back on track. With a loss, however, things become far more complicated. The Steelers are no stranger to losing to […]

3 ways to watch mobile NFL Sunday Ticket on your TV

You may have read this article from early August explaining how you could score NFL SUNDAY TICKET for only $100 sans a DIRECTV subscription if you purchased the Anniversary edition of Madden 25 from Amazon.  Hopefully, you were able to take advantage of the promotion.  It went fast. While a great deal, the fact that […]

Geno Smith, Jets to benefit from lack of quarterback controversy

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. In the Jets’ case, that appears to be exactly what’s happening. ESPN NFL analyst Chris Mortensen reported that Mark Sanchez has a labral tear in his throwing shoulder, an injury that will likely require surgery, sidelining the Jets’ veteran quarterback for the rest of the season. It’s […]

TGS Week 2 Power Rankings

Here's how we rank the league's 32 teams with one week in the books… 1. San Francisco 49ers (1-0): I wasn't convinced that Colin Kaepernick could do it for an entire season without the surprise element. And then I watched the Green Bay game. 2. Denver Broncos (1-0): They continue to be the most dominant […]

California: Football left Deion Sanders 86 percent disabled. Huh?

Maybe Deion Sanders was right. A Los Angeles Times story lambasts Sanders for filing a California worker's compensation claim in 2010 and then criticizing ex-NFL players before the last Super Bowl for filing concussion lawsuits against the league. I never pass up a chance to mock Sanders, who I consider a paid loudmouth. Condemn Sanders for […]

Could the Jacksonville Jaguars go 0-16?

On Wednesday, Shane Clemons asked whether the Denver Broncos might have a chance to become the second team in NFL history to win all 16 of their regular-season games. So in the interest of being fair and balanced, I'll be the TGS pessimist and ask whether the Jacksonville Jaguars can do the opposite and become […]

NFL stats that stand out entering Week 2

Here are 10 of my favorite stats one week into the 2013 NFL regular season: LeSean McCoy is the league's only healthy starting running back who was able to run for 100 yards in Week 1. Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor did it, as did Shane Vereen of the New England Patriots. But Vereen broke his […]

Fines don’t work with Ndamukong Suh

Ndamukong Suh will never learn. That much is apparent. After the NFL slammed the Lions defensive lineman with a $100,000 fine, Suh fired back with some rhetoric that should, at the very least, get the NFL’s attention. “Really you just play football, that’s all I can do,” Suh said via NFL.com. “…I don’t change, I’m […]

Michael Vick is too valuable to run Chip Kelly’s offense

As exciting as Chip Kelly’s offense in Philadelphia may be, it may already be on its way out. The reason? Michael Vick, the player the offense absolutely cannot function without, is taking way too many hits already, and it seems unlikely he’ll last an entire season. “We saw Vick limping around. Vick's not gonna last,” […]

Could the Denver Broncos go 16-0?

After one half of football on Thursday night, the Baltimore Ravens looked like force to be reckoned with. They were ahead of the Denver Broncos, and their defense had all the answers. After a second half of football, something else was apparent. The Denver Broncos are scary good. With week one of the 2013 season […]

Elite Rookie Rankings

Each week we'll be ranking the NFL's 2013 1st round draft picks, 1 through 32, based on their performance throughout the season. At the end of the season you'll be able to know, thanks to this, who really hit with their selection and who whiffed completely. This isn't Mel Kiper Jr. selling you with his […]

Ndamukong Suh playing stupid, not dirty

Ndamukong Suh has been accused of being a dirty player throughout his career, but frankly, that’s not the proper designation. Suh is a reckless player; he just doesn’t know how to play smart football that doesn’t ultimately set his own team back. Suh’s most recent illegal, and highly controversial play, came on a low block […]
