There’s a curious game of one-upsmanship going on among the Suck For Luck crowd. Or one-downsmanship, as the case may be. Four teams are vying to drag their respective conferences into the gutter, as though the title of “worst division in the NFL” was something worth fighting for. To recap: the Rams lost 34-7, allowing […]

At home against the Kansas City Chiefs. With a win, the Oakland Raiders would be alone atop the AFC West. Instead the silver and black found themselves sucked into a nightmare of their own creation: the abyss that is the Black Hole. The Black Hole in Oakland, historically reserved for the intimidation of opponents on […]

The Jaguars played out-of-this-world defense against the Baltimore Ravens in a huge upset win. The Jaguars, with the win, snap a five game losing streak, and they deal the Ravens their second loss. The big story from this game was that the Ravens didn’t gain an offensive first down until the third quarter. To say […]

Tim Tebow 18, Miami 15 – Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood http://youtube.com/watch?v=lydBPm2KRaU?wmode=Opaque Okay, well. Carrie Underwood isn’t pure Rock and Roll, but this song was too perfect to pass up when describing this game, and hey Carrie is really hot so why not! Tebow certainly took the wheel and once again proved to his haters that […]

Indianapolis Colts 7, New Orleans Saints 62 What I Liked: The Saints’ big question going into the night was how the play-calling would work. The answer was simple. Spectacularly. Pete Carmichael, the Saints little known offensive coordinator, handled the offensive play-calling duties, and the Saints’ offense didn’t miss a beat. To be honest, it’s hard […]

Today, we’ve done things a little differently, and we’re continuing that with the late games. Many of our great writers have submitted their reactions as they’ve watched the game, and this is what they had to say: Pittsburgh Steelers 32, Arizona Cardinals 20 The Steelers were expected to walk all over a struggling Cardinals team, […]

Changing up the format of our reactor articles, here’s a live blog of my channel surfing between the early games in Week 7. Thoughts and observations on a game by game basis, as they happen. TAMPA BAY vs CHICAGO Josh Freeman looks jet-lagged, or something. Most of his throws have way too much air, not […]

Sundays in fall are a constant battle for married men, as falling leaves and long-neglected items on the “honey do” list steal you away from the comfortable sofa and the TV remote. With a little creativity, though, we can do both at the same time — identifying and fixing the biggest problems with the NFL’s […]

The Arizona Cardinals have been nothing short of disastrous this season. After trading for Kevin Kolb in the offseason and hoping that he would bring the consistency back to the offense that has been missing since Kurt Warner retired, the Cards have struggled mightily. Kolb has done little to earn the $64 million contract that he […]

The Texans finally emerged as a complete team this season, displaying three levels of stifling defense and a powerful combination of big-play running and passing offense. They jumped out to a fantastic 3-1 start that could have been 4-0, but for the pyrotechnic 4th quarter brilliance of the New Orleans Saints in a 40-33 loss. […]

It was an unusually active trade deadline, with a number of high profile swaps. And the league’s worst owner might have won the day. Recapping: The Oakland Raiders got Carson Palmer. The Cincinnati Bengals got two high draft picks. The Detroit Lions got an emergency running back in Ronnie Brown… at least until James Harrison […]
