Just three weeks left until the playoffs are set. Speaking of three, only three teams have guaranteed themselves a playoff spot. In the AFC alone, four teams are tied for the last wild card spot, and three teams are one game behind them. The Colts have already clinched home field advantage, and while the Saints [...]
75% of the season is now over, but the playoff situation is still very much up in the air, with only the two unbeaten teams having secured spots so far. The Bengals dropped a spot, and the Pats showed why they’ll have a hard time advancing. We’re really seeing teams fight hard and fast for [...]
Two unbeaten teams remain, looking to be on a collision course for the Super Bowl. And the Colts have become the first team to guarantee themselves a playoff spot. As always, the wildcard spots are still very much up for grabs and are the most interesting race; six teams in the AFC alone are not [...]
With just six games left until the postseason, it’s game time for the AFC. With the Colts taking an iron grip on home field advantage, the race is on for the second spot, currently held by the Bengals. However, the Chargers and Pats are tied with Cincinnati, and still very much alive for the position. [...]
We’re getting close to January, and there is still much to be decided. Mathematically, every team is still in the race (even the Browns and Buccaneers, but we can forget about them). Several 6-4 teams are tied with each other for wild card slots. Two 10-0 teams remain, though only one of them is in [...]
Say “bye-bye” to bye weeks! Finally, after seven weeks of juggling your roster and piecing together your fantasy roster from week to week, this week you’ll finally have all your fantasy horses lined up in the starting gates come game time. Or will you? With the latest rash of big injuries to impact fantasy players, [...]
More than half way through, the playoff situation is starting to take shape. The Colts are in reasonable command in the East (ick) over Cincinnati. The Vikings and Saints are still dueling for first in the West. The Wild Card races are the most interesting by far. At 5-4 after starting 5-0, not playing this [...]
What a week. The Giants continued their fall from grace. Tennessee is trying to mount what would have to be considered one of the largest NFL comebacks ever from 0-6. New Orleans came back again against a team they probably should never have been trailing by a lot. Even Tampa Bay got in on the [...]
And then there were two. With Denver dropping to Baltimore, the Colts and Saints are left as the only unbeaten teams in the NFL. The Rams and Titans finally won, leaving the Buccaneers, on a bye week, as the only winless team left. The long-touted return of Brett Favre to Green Bay ended with the [...]
Things in the NFL have remained more or less stable from last week, with the top dogs still in place. Though Brett Favre would probably have rather had more than a few mulligans. Each conference has seen only one potential playoff spot change hands; the NFC reformed itself to look more like last year while [...]
The 2009-2010 NFL season is already full of surprises. Who would have thought the lowly Bengals would be so mighty, or the mighty Titans so lowly? Old Man Favre looks quite young and Tom Terrific set records like nobody’s business. Rookies Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford are starting to fail their fans. Put all this [...]
It was only a preseason game, but Chad Ochocino was very instrumental in the gritty 7-6 win last Thursday against the Patriots. With regular placekicker Shayne Graham out with an injury, Ochocinco stepped in as a replacement, and booted the extra point following the only touchdown of the game. In case you missed the game [...]
We have entered the part of the offseason where NFL teams sends a few grown men to apply for unemployment, while simultaneously employing a similar number of men in a new role. What I’m referring to is when the teams fire their head coaches (and/or coordinators). It is an annual, unavoidable occurrence. So with that, [...]
Carson Palmer and the Bengals are now 6-1 when wearing orange.(Courtesy of NFL.com) Another week, another three touchdown win for the Patriots. With Monday night’s 34-13 drubbing of the Cincinnati Bengals, the Patriots became the first team in NFL history to win their first four games of the season by at least 20 points. Though [...]
The Patriots (3-0) look for a big road win tonight as they take on the Cincinnati Bengals (1-2) shortly after 8:30 pm tonight on Monday Night Football. The Pats have looked unstoppable on offense this season, scoring 38 points in each of the first three games (coincidentally the Pats scored 38 points against the Bengals [...]
