Buccaneers’ DT Gerald McCoy calls Cam Newton the MVP

Cam Newton has been the hottest name in the NFL this season and the Carolina Panthers are sitting at 14-1 with him leading the way. He has been viewed by the media as the front-runner to win the MVP award this season and has been getting votes from players around the NFL as well recently. […]

Matt Forte discusses his career with the Chicago Bears

The Chicago Bears are set to face off against the Detroit Lions in Week 17 of the 2015 NFL season. It will be the last game for the Bears this season and it appears that it will be Matt Forte’s last game as a member of the Bears. Rumors are circulating that the Bears will […]

Green Bay Packers WR Jordy Nelson making progress in recovery

Jordy Nelson went down prior to the 2015 NFL season with a torn ACL and the Green Bay Packers have been missing him in a huge way. Aaron Rodgers has looked a bit lost without his favorite target and there are major concerns about the offense moving into the postseason. That being said, good news […]

PHILADELPHIA, PA – DECEMBER 20: Head Coach Chip Kelly looks on before the game against the Arizona Cardinals at Lincoln Financial Field on December 20, 2015 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images)

Bill Belichick on Chip Kelly’s firing: ‘It’s really disappointing’

Chip Kelly was fired by the Philadelphia Eagles in shocking fashion and there have been many around the league that were surprised as well. Count New England Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick as one of the coaches that are surprised and disappointed with the news that Kelly was fired. During a recent interview, Belichick said […]

If the Denver Broncos lose without a healthy Manning, they’ll always wonder what might have been

The Denver Broncos aren’t likely to win the Super Bowl with young, extremely flawed backup Brock Osweiler at quarterback. No, they aren’t likely to win with legendary 39-year-old Peyton Manning under center, either. But since this season is Super Bowl or bust in Denver, why not give your highest-paid and most experienced player one final […]

Chip Kelly was tailor-made to coach in at the college level

Chip Kelly lasted 47 games in his first NFL head-coaching role, which shouldn’t really be surprising considering the discouraging precedents set by coaches who — like Kelly — failed to deliver after coming to the NFL with no professional coaching experience. Throw in that Kelly inexplicably blew up a stellar offense after the front office […]

With AJ McCarron hurting, Cincinnati Bengals should considering taking it easy in Week 17

There’s a good chance the outcome of Cincinnati’s Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens won’t matter. As long as the Denver Broncos beat a bad San Diego Chargers team that same day, the Bengals will be forced to host the Chiefs, Jets or Steelers on wild-card weekend. That’s why the Bengals might be better […]

By booing former members of the home team, fans reveal their stupidity

Saturday night in Philadelphia, former Eagles wide receiver and current Redskins wideout DeSean Jackson was booed. And it made no sense. See, as Jackson pointed out, he was released by Eagles head coach Chip Kelly. So by booing him, you’re essentially accusing a guy who got fired of being a traitor. “It’s disturbing to come […]

Black Monday preview: Which NFL coaches should be fired?

For about half of the league’s head coaches, Black Monday is an annual day of fear, if not utter demise. The season ends and some front offices immediately give their coach the ax. Of course, a few coaches will slip through the cracks and miraculously retain their jobs, but franchises are generally impatient and more […]

Breaking down the projected 2016 NFL draft order entering Week 17

The NFL playoff picture is starting to come together, as is the draft order for 2016. Here’s a breakdown with two weeks remaining… 1. Titans (3-12): A Week 17 loss will automatically give Tennessee the top pick for the first time since they took Earl Campbell in 1978. They’d be out of the quarterback sweepstakes, though, […]

TGS weekly MVP tracker: Cam Newton hanging on

With one week remaining in the 2015 NFL regular season, here’s how we view the MVP race… 1. Cam Newton, Panthers: It feels a little weird giving the MVP to a guy who ranks 31st in the NFL in terms of completion percentage, especially now that the Panthers have lost. But Newton’s play transcends the […]
