Expectations were sky high for quarterback Blaine Gabbert coming out of the NFL draft. Gabbert was picked 10th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguards in 2011 and was thought to be the franchise’s savior. Unfortunately his play was inconsistent throughout his tenure with the team and he was widely viewed as a massive bust by the […]

For years, those who champion the tenets of win probability-related statistics have pleaded for teams to take more chances on fourth downs and in terms of two-point conversion attempts. Generally, overly-conservative coaches have instead adhered to an arguably archaic set of rules regarding when to take such gambles, particularly regarding two-pointers. But with extra points […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball. And yet, Sunday’s 35-28 Philadelphia victory over the New England Patriots might have been the most improbable win of the 2015 NFL season. Why? Well, for starters, the 10-1 Patriots were coming off a loss. Dating back to 2012, New England had […]

For the second time this year, the only NFL team with two championships in the last nine years qualifies as our idiot of the week. The winner: New York Giants Big Blue choked yet again, losing despite possessing a late lead for the fifth time this season. And again, a lot of it was on head […]

Calvin Johnson and amazing go hand-in-hand and this TD catch is no different…. Sometimes Megatron makes a crazy TD catch & all you can do is just: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is one of those times.

Adrian Peterson has always been an exception to rules, which is why it should surprise nobody that he’s putting together an MVP-caliber season at an age at which most players at his position have declined sharply. Running backs just aren’t supposed to have much left at 30, and yet Peterson leads the NFL in rushing […]

The Green Bay Packers have been struggling over the past few weeks and the offense has been disconnected in a big way. Aaron Rogers made a comment about the wide receivers obviously being on a different page from him and Davante Adams has been one of the receivers with the biggest issues. Part of the […]

With five weeks remaining in the 2015 NFL regular season, here’s how we view the MVP race… 1. Adrian Peterson, Vikings: Now that Tom Brady’s Patriots are no longer perfect and Brady has fallen into a very tiny “slump,” it’s time to acknowledge the fact a 30-year-old Peterson leads the NFL in rushing by a […]

It takes a lot of guts to play through injury. But it requires just as many to work up the mettle to pull yourself from a close and important game late in the fourth quarter. That’s why Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger deserves heaps of praise of his decision to self-report symptoms of a concussion […]

1. Carolina Panthers (11-0; Last Week- No. 2) For the first time this season, we have a team other than the New England Patriots holding the top spot in our power rankings. And let’s be honest- the Carolina Panthers have absolutely deserved to be here themselves all season anyway. Like the Patriots, the Panthers entered […]

This year on This weekend in NFL stupid, we’re focusing on one extremely stupid winner with an honorable mention or two on a weekly basis. To close out Week 12 of the 2015 regular season, we look back on a strange decision (or lack thereof) from a coach who continues to make bad ones. The winner: […]
