St. Louis Rams 16, New York Giants 28 What I LikedEli Manning had a pretty good outing against the Rams. He didn’t exactly jump out as the star of the game, but he was able to lead his team to a victory. The biggest thing was getting the “W” to keep them close in the […]

Opponents traveling to Arrowhead Stadium will be greeted with a dead, still-smoking crater where once a football team was said to play. Men in red jerseys will be there, though whether colored red by design or by the blood of the fallen we cannot say. There’s an undeniable stench in the air, of a team’s […]

Howdy all, hope you all enjoyed a pretty wild weekend of NFL football, it was another week of shootouts and lack of defense. Most thought the trend of offenses outplaying the defenses would end in week 2, but they were sorely mistaken. Last week we did a small recap for you of week one through the art of Rock […]

What I LikedThere’s not a lot to hate about a back-yard brawl, and that’s what the fans got tonight. The Eagles and the Falcons had a lot to play for in terms of past versus present. The Eagles have been dubbed the “Dream Team,” but tonight belonged to Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons. The […]

Today they travelled to Miami and thoroughly dominated the Dolphins en route to a 23-13 victory.

Buffalo Bills 38 – Oakland Raiders 35 A matchup of two of the league’s potential surprise teams might be the best game of the early shift. To recap: The Raiders outmuscle the Bills to a 21-3 lead. Game appears lost when Buffalo elects to kick on a 4th and 1 from the Oakland 7. Ryan […]

The apocalypse continues for the Kansas City Chiefs. The story of their season is losses: losing Charlie Weis in the offseason, losing Tony Moeaki in the preseason, losing Eric Berry in week 1. Now, it looks like Jamaal Charles may be lost for the season after being carted off the field on the Chiefs’ first […]

Week Two is often seen as a “correction” week in the NFL, when week one’s surprise teams get their comeuppance and struggling playoff contenders get a chance to right their course. It’s also a chance to see if the hidden trends that emerged in Week One continue to play out and define the story of […]

The coin flip didn’t do so well last week. It’s not looking much better for it this week.

This much is true: at least one of the Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders, and Cincinnati Bengals will be 2-0 at the end of this weekend. I can be confident in that statement because the Bills and Raiders face each other in an all-underdog undercard. Barring a tie, one of these teams will officially become one […]

Go ahead, and take your double take of the title of this post. Yes. The Bills can make the playoffs this season. Let’s quickly do a run down of the most likely playoff situation in the AFC. The Patriots, Ravens/Steelers, Chargers, and Texans will likely win their respective divisions. The most common wild-card picks are […]

There’s an odd thing about the NFL schedule this week: there’s not a single divisional game on the schedule. Odds-makers and bettors love the wealth of history that exists in divisional games. A three-year trend can be built on six games’ worth of data — more if they’ve met in the playoffs as well. But […]

Every year, there are multiple teams that talk a big game, and some of those teams deliver on their promises. Other teams fall flat on their faces. The media devotes a great amount of attention to trash talk, but does it really mean all that much? Who really cares what someone from an opposing team […]

Has a NFL quarterback opened a season to more derision than the Washington Redskins starter Rex Grossman? Grossman can enjoy the last laugh, for a week, after his 305 yard, two-touchdown performance while leading Washington to a 28-14 win over the New York Giants. But, was Rexy’s sexy performance a fluke? Known as “Wrecks” by […]

Fresh off of a surprisingly close win over the Panthers in Week 1, the Cardinals are travelling to play the upstart Washington Redskins in one of the overlooked games this week. After struggling to defend Cam Newton and the Panthers, it will be interesting to see what the Cards have in store to shut down […]
