Giving rookie quarterbacks a free pass

The expectation from every NFL fanbase is simple. Fans want their teams to win now. Going into a season that’s being called a “rebuilding year” is always tough on fans. The realization that your team will struggle to find its way to a .500 record is never easy to make, and impatience often get the […]

Championship window is closing for some teams

In the NFL, we like to talk about teams’ championship “window.” The term basically points to the time frame that a team has a legitimate chance of winning a Super Bowl. That window of time can close for a number of reasons. The salary cap can catch up to a team while others suffer from […]

Saints and Drew Brees are close to a deal

The New Orleans Saints may be near a happy ending to a most unhappy offseason. Matt Triplett reports on NOLA.com that Drew Brees’ deal with the New Orleans Saints should be done within a week. Good. It was unthinkable that Brees would play anywhere else this season and unseemly that the two sides played hardball. […]

Patience key for Luck, Colts

As a guy that lives near Indianapolis, I find myself watching far more Colts games every season than probably any other team in the league. Because of this, I like to believe I have a better feel for the team than most national media outlets. Last season, the Colts were dealt what would prove to […]

Video: Adrian Peterson’s arrest

While this is the first video to surface (via TMZ.com), it won’t be the last. The only thing we can see here is Peterson being handcuffed while the police officers attempt to push the bystanders away from the scene.

Open QB competitions don’t exist

There are a number of teams this offseason that have declared their quarterback position to be up for grabs. The Dolphins, Browns, Seahawks, and Titans have highly contested battles at the position, and those teams would like their quarterbacks to believe that each of them has a shot at landing the starting job. Sorry guys. […]

Tim Tebow training with MMA royalty

If you’d like to read the title of this article one more time, I completely understand. Tim Tebow is getting the martial arts training he’s always needed to compete successfully in the NFL. @

Morning Huddle – Romo better than Manning?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=a-99fGDbtAc This is why I’d take Manning over Romo in a heartbeat. Anytime someone talks about Tony Romo as an elite quarterback, I tend to cringe a little and walk away. Every now and then, someone like Amani Toomer compares Romo to another established quarterback, in this case Eli Manning, and says Romo is the […]

NFL offenses could be ready for a paradigm shift

Winning in the NFL isn’t all about having the best players, the best coaches, and the best team chemistry. Every team in the league is geared to maximize the chance of winning on Sunday. Having the best players is a big part of being successful on Sunday, but with 32 teams vying for the same […]

College replay system could be coming in the NFL… eventually

The use of instant replay is at times a savior for some fans while simultaneously being the bane of other fans’ existence.
