For much of the early part of the 21st century, the Oakland Raiders were the worst-run laughing stock in professional football. But in recent years the Raiders have regained some dignity on and off the field, leaving a void at the bottom of the NFL’s respect totem pole. Right now, it looks as though the […]

Considering that emerging second-year receiver Martavis Bryant tore it up with 138 yards in about one half of football during Pittsburgh’s fourth preseason game, it’s safe to say the high-powered Steelers will feel Bryant’s loss when the 23-year-old is forced to sit out the first four games of the regular season due to suspension. Sure, […]

Especially at this point in his career, Peyton Manning is the definition of a pocket quarterback. In fact, after rushing for an average of 42 yards per season during the first 14 years of his career, Manning has rushed for minus-49 yards in the three years since he joined the Denver Broncos. Only two of […]

The NFL is a league built around the quarterback position. An offense with the ability to chuck it around the field makes for a better, more exciting product and for this to happen it takes high-level throws. When you look at the position big picture the league is nearing a point where they need an […]

The Green Bay Packers are already a wide receiver short with the loss of star receiver Jordy Nelson for the season with a torn ACL. Randall Cobb also went down with what looked to be a potential serious injury, but it appears that he will be just fine for Week 1 of the regular season […]

The NFL’s concussion problem — or more accurately, it’s chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) problem — has received a considerable amount of press. There was the famous League of Denial documentary and there have been plenty of intriguing long-form works of journalism exposing light on the fact former players are getting sick and dying at extremely […]

Tyrod Taylor came into training camp as a long shot to win the starting quarterback job, but the Buffalo Bills have officially named him their Week 1 starter. He was able to beat out both Matt Cassel and E.J. Manuel, and is ready to be given the first big chance of his entire career. Rex […]

The 2012 NFL Draft class saw three quarterbacks get selected in the first round with No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck being the most notable. In three years, Luck has taken the Indianapolis Colts to the playoffs three times, reaching the AFC Championship last year. Many feel Luck and the Colts have as good a […]

With the third week of the preseason a wrap for the NFL I figured it was a good time to give my over/under total picks. For the win totals I used the lines from this story. Here are the team lines I like: Philadelphia Eagles Over 9.5 +120 As predictions start rolling out it will […]

The Green Bay Packers were extremely depressed to hear that Jordy Nelson would miss the entire 2015 NFL season due to a torn ACL. It was a huge blow for an offense that has relied on him for big numbers for a long time. Randall Cobb was more than ready to take over the top […]

The Seattle Seahawks are without question one of the best teams in the NFL and they are led by star quarterback Russell Wilson. There are some question marks surrounding their offense with the 2015 season about to get underway, but Wilson is not concerned about any of the troubles that the media has brought up […]

The Washington Redskins are heading into what could be a franchise changing 2015 NFL season. Many would look at the franchise changing quote as a good thing, but they could be forced to completely reload on talent following the season depending on what ends up happening. One piece that they could be forced to move […]

A lot of people are confused by the fact the Buffalo Bills appear to be starting their third-string quarterback in what is supposed to be a dress rehearsal third preseason game Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But I get where Rex Ryan is coming from, because it’s fair to give former first-round pick EJ Manuel […]

Reggie Wayne officially decided to sign a one-year contract with the New England Patriots a few days ago, and it was a move that many believe will help New England’s offense in a big way. It wasn’t a popular move for Wayne’s former fan base in Indianapolis, but the Colts were the ones that chose […]

Everybody wants to witness history, which is why it’s fun to cheer for records to be broken. That is, unless you’re record-holder or a fan of one. Here’s a look at some records that could be broken this season… Points per game: There were an NFL-record 46.8 points per game scored in 2013. But with […]
