Over the past decade, we’ve seen dominate teams rise from young rosters and star quarterbacks. As the NFL has become a more pass-centric league, there’s no reason that should stop. Right now, the dominate teams in the NFL seem to be the usual suspects. The Patriots, Broncos, Saints, Packers and the Steelers are all led […]

With the Patriots’ most recent preseason game came a not-so-startling revelation. Tim Tebow isn’t a great quarterback. This isn’t meant as a way to pile on with the Tebow haters, but entering his fourth year in the league, one would expect a better stats line than 1 of 7 for negative one yard and an […]

The Lions have looked like anything but a solid team this preseason, and it has irked head coach Jim Schwartz. Although some, including yours truly, have criticized the talent that has been assembled in Detroit, the Lions are still trying to better themselves. Since the Lions were outplayed in every way by the Cleveland Browns, […]

Saturday night’s matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New York Jets was one of the most intriguing of the weekend simply because both teams are in the middle of crucial quarterback competitions that will determine the future of the two franchises for years to come – or at least the rest of the season. […]

Well, just when the Bills appeared to finally have a starting quarterback, he’s done – at least for the immediate future. The team announced today that E.J. Manuel, their rookie quarterback who has been turning heads this preseason, experienced swelling in his left knee, and was examined by team doctors. “An MRI revealed that he […]

In Friday night’s game against the New England Patriots, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers continued to struggle in a number of facets. They couldn’t protect their quarterback, said quarterback was slow getting rid of the ball and despite covering mostly no-name players, they were still picked apart by Tom Brady. Although the Bucs nearly came back […]

Kevin Kolb had a rough start against the Minnesota Vikings, but he was able to recover nicely to finish 13 of 21 with 111 yards and an interception that probably wasn’t his fault. Still, his competition, E.J. Manuel looked miles ahead of Kolb, and may have won the starting job with a strong showing. To […]

Sound the alarm bells, the Lions have serious causes for concern. In last night’s game against the Cleveland Browns, there was little positive to take away from the Lions’ perspective outside of the thought, “Hey, our best playmaker wasn’t on the field!” Well, that’s true. Calvin Johnson wasn’t on the field, and without him, the […]

In week one of preseason action, the Kansas City Chiefs and Alex Smith stacked up well against the New Orleans Saints. Although the Saints don’t field a bad defense, they’re also not what most would consider an elite defensive group, something that the 49ers’ defense is. Tonight, Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs will […]

Michael Vick and Nick Foles both made one big mistake in their time under center tonight, but both also had an otherwise solid evening. Still, it was Michael Vick that appeared to be the quarterback for Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles. Nick Foles is by no means a statue in the pocket, but when […]

Last week, Michael Vick got his turn as the Eagles’ starting quarterback. Now, it’s Nick Foles turn. The Eagles will be hosting the Carolina Panthers tonight in their second preseason matchup, and as with last week, Philadelphia’s quarterback battle will take the spotlight. A week ago, Michael Vick was effective in limited time on the […]

It's no surprise to anyone around the NFL that the Steelers look like a solid roster once again. While most teams in the league have large glaring holes in their roster, Pittsburgh has a relatively deep group of players that allows them to mask some of their minor flaws. Still, like all teams, the Steelers […]

As we enter week two of preseason play, our focus will shift slightly from week one. During the first round of preseason games, the focus was watching individual battles. Who was winning one-on-one battles? Who was making big plays? While that will continue as a theme this week, we’ll be adding another observation into account. […]

Tom Brady is always on the Patriots’ injury report with some minor injury making him “probable” for a Sunday appearance. Today, Tom Brady really did suffer an injury, and with it, the Patriots’ 2013 season is suddenly in question. The last time the Patriots missed the playoffs came in 2008. After posting a solid 11-5 […]
