The Indianapolis Colts are heading into their bye week, and there’s been a lot of discussion about the possibility of this Colts team being the worst team in NFL history. Let’s just simmer down for a few minutes and take a look at the cold hard statistics. First off, I have to tell you that […]

With each passing week, the AFC playoff picture makes less and less sense. The league’s best division might be won by the team that can’t beat any of its division mates. The team with the largest division lead just lost its starting quarterback and now turns to Matt Leinert. And I think the Pottsville Maroons […]

As the beautiful Tina Turner once sang, “You’re Simply the Best.” All that’s missing is the fat lady singing with her, because this competition is pretty much over. The Colts took a commanding two-game lead this weekend, making them the far and away favorite to land Sir Andrew Luck. The Colts had their easiest game […]

The Green Bay Packers are dominant. Minnesota are not exactly an elite team, the the world champion Pack showed us all tonight why they remain the only undefeated team in the league, and why they could very well have a perfect season. Sure Green Bay has to play Detroit twice this season, but with the […]

MINNESOTA VIKINGS (2-6) at GREEN BAY PACKERS (8-0) Monday, 8:30 P.M. ET, ESPN, Sirius (MIN 92, GB 93), Westwood One Radio Why Watch Because the Packers are the lone unbeaten team standing. The defending Super Bowl champion should be looking over their shoulders. The Chicago Bears did them a huge favor crushing the Detroit Lions […]

In his Monday presser, Texans head coach Gary Kubiak dropped a bombshell that gave any Texans fan that familiar sinking feeling in the pit of their stomachs. Starting quarterback, Matt Schaub, will miss “some time” with what Kubiak calls a “significant foot injury.” Now, before you start scrambling to find out who the next man […]

There are multiple teams in the NFL that are suffering from mid-season slumps. The Bills, Chargers, Ravens, and Lions are the most prominent cases. In the cases of the Chargers and Ravens, it would appear that the talent is there, but the execution isn’t. The Bills seem to have been overachieving until this point of […]

Not Joe Montana, not Steve Young either. The same old Alex Smith is the starting QB for the 49ers and yet they are 8-1! Jim Harbaugh has done one heck of a job on […]

Joe Paterno wants Andy Reid’s job security. As the longest-tenured coach in the NFL, and the only remaining “power coach” in the league with both coaching and GM duties, Reid is essentially an institution unto himself. (Officially, his title is Executive Vice President of Football Operations, but let’s not quibble.) That means that essentially only […]

Last night, Michele Tafoya reported that Rex Ryan called a Mark Sanchez timeout near the end of the first half “the stupidest thing in football history.” Dumb? Yes. But the stupidest thing in football history? Certainly not. It did give me inspiration though to consider what actually are the stupidest plays in football history. Narrowing […]

The New England Patriots used the Sunday night showcase game to show that they, not the New York Jets, were the best team in the AFC East, as they routed the Jets, 37-16, in a regular season rematch. Tom Brady recovered from his struggles in that first contest to throw complete 26 of 39 passes […]

New York Giants 20, San Francisco 49ers 27 This game was circled on many peoples’ calendars, and it didn’t disappoint in a very closely contested game from start to finish. Alex Smith continued to impress his critics as he was efficient distributing the ball around the field, as well as to his running backs. This […]

Sunday’s opening action featured four upset wins, and a fifth unexpected blowout win, each one of which can be traced back to a decision made before the game started. Sure, the players have to make plays, but sometimes a single move made (or not made) by the coaching staff ends up having the biggest impact […]

Pittsburgh Steelers 24, Cincinnati Bengals 17 The Steelers were left reeling after their heart-breaking loss last weekend to the Baltimore Ravens, but they were able to rebound quickly against the division leading Bengals. This was the first game between the two teams, and this game ups the stakes of their second match-up. The Bengals, who […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZvRWo8CXTpc?wmode=Opaque Finally the bye weeks are gone, but the annual war of attrition has wreaked havoc on the teams that lined up on Week 1 of the season. Add in the maddening whims of coaches in their desperate hour, and this week’s matchups are defined by the players that won’t be in them. Thursday: Oakland […]
