When Greg Schiano started his NFL career it didn’t take very long until his name got mentioned around league circles, unfortunately it was for all the wrong reasons.  The “kneel down gate “had many around the league questioning Schiano’s methods however at 6-4 his squad has fully bought into his system. The once lackluster Buccaneers find […]

It's becoming increasingly hard to place teams at the top of this list on a weekly basis, because the NFL truly does lack a clear top team this year. Last week's No.1, Houston, nearly lost Sunday to last week's No. 32, Jacksonville…at home. Atlanta barely survived against Arizona, and the Packers, Ravens and Bears weren't […]

No one likes to tie. The favored team is upset they didn't pull out the win, and the underdog is upset they didn't quite have enough in the tank to unseat the favored team. For fans, a tie is awful, but for those of us watching the standings, they're a hidden blessing. At 6-2-1, the […]

We wrap up the 11th Sunday of the NFL season by looking at a handful of players who exceeded expectations and a handful who failed to deliver. Surprises Chad Henne, Jaguars: Henne might not be the long-term answer in Jacksonville, but it certainly doesn't seem as though Blaine Gabbert is either. So at least Jags […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars lost today. That's no surprise to anyone who's paid them any attention this season. The manner in which they lost, however, was nothing short of shocking. The Jaguars played the AFC's top team, the Houston Texans, today, and they led much of the game. With just 8 minutes to go, the Jaguars […]

Today, a nuance of the NFL's rules came to light in interesting fashion. Following a Jason Snelling fumble that bounced precariously close to out of bounds before being recovered by the Arizona Cardinals, Mike […]

Tomorrow afternoon, the San Diego Chargers travel to Denver in a game that could either tighten the AFC West back to within reason, or it could signal the end of any realistic divisional race. The Broncos enter the game at 6-3, two full games ahead of the second place Chargers. With a win, the Broncos […]

Ray Guy is almost without question the greatest punter to ever play in the NFL. He kicked for the Raiders for 14 season, accumulating nearly 45,000 yards of punts throughout his career. Yet, for some insane reason, at least insane in my mind, Ray Guy remains left out of the Hall of Fame. Ray Guy […]

On the same day that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell spoke at the Harvard School of Public Health about his continuing crusade "to change the culture of football to better protect players," one of the faces of the game was — deliberately or not — minimizing the importance of head trauma prevention by again insisting that […]

At 7th in the AFC, you would think the Chargers would be in the thick of the playoff race, but that's not the case. They're currently tied two other teams for the 7th position, and they're a full two games behind the Pittsburgh Steelers for the last playoff spot. The Chargers were supposed to raise […]
