  • Golden Tate & Seattle Seahawks Cheat Their Way to Victory

    The NFL replacement referees hit a new low by deciding the outcome of Monday Night Football, awarding Golden Tate with a touchdown despite M.D. Jennings grabbing the interception and being down for the touchback, giving the Seattle Seahawks an undeserved 14-12 win over the Green Bay Packers.

  • Chris Johnson – The Worst Running Back in the NFL

    At this moment, Chris Johnson might be the worst performing feature running back in the NFL, giving just a bit more than nothing to the Tennesse Titans through the first 3 weeks of the season, with even his quarterback (and others around the league) gaining more yards on the ground than him so far.

  • Just How Bad are the New Orleans Saints

    It couldn’t get any simpler than this – the New Orleans Saints are 0-3 so far this season, losing to three teams (Washington Redskins, Carolina Panthers, Kansas City Chiefs) who are 0-6 against everyone else.

  • Batlimore Ravens – Grief Brings the Best out of Torrey Smith

    The replacement referees grabbed some of the headlines, but the bigger part of them belonged to Torrey Smith, playing less than 24 hours after the death of his brother and being instrumental (catching two touchdown passes) along with Joe Flacco as the Baltimore Ravens pulled off a dramatic 31-30, last second field goal win over the New England Patriots.

  • 2012 NFL Season – Week 3 Predictions

    Both the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens weren’t expecting to be 1-1 at this point, but the Ravens have an excuse of playing a stronger opponent in their loss. Still, the losses put an extra weight of pressure in their AFC championship game rematch going down in Baltimore, as the focus game of week 3.

  • Tim Tebow Making Headlines in the Wrong Places

    There are things more important than sport, but while you’re an athlete, you probably should be considered doing what you’re best at. When Tim Tebow was a college football player for the Florida Gators, he became famous for his on-field performance, among other things. In the NFL? Not so much.

  • Carolina Panthers – Cam Newton Needs to Get Better

    There wasn’t much Cam Newton had to say after a demoralizing, painful 36-7 loss to the New York Giants. The quarterback and a team blowing an opportunity against the Super Bowl champions, the New York Giants, showing pretty much every flaw instead of proving they’re a new force to be reckoned with in the NFC.

  • New York Giants – Eli Manning is the Best Quarterback in the Family

    Ramses Barden and Andre Brown, remember the names. There was also Eli Manning, obviously, in a very efficient performance at quarterback, but it was the unknown substitues that stood out in the 36-7 win over the Carolina Panthers, who were favorites coming into the game.

  • 2012 NFL Season, Week 3 – Giants vs Panthers Predictions

    The Super Bowl champions are 1-1, heading into Carolina to face the Panthers and Cam Newton, feeling confident only because of Eli Manning’s second half performance in week 2, but knowing they’ve got a lot of problems all across the field, especially with their running game and secondary.

  • Atlanta Falcons – Matt Ryan Can Win Without Michael Turner

    Some teams need their quarterback to do well, others are based on their running game. Last season, the Falcons needed Michael Turner to dominate to pull of wins, eventually stopped, once again, in the first game of the postseason. Monday night against the Broncos, it was a combination of Matt Ryan efficiency and defensive interceptions that paved the way to a 2-0 start to the season.
