Back-ups-turned-starting-quarterbacks simply sucked; God continued to mess with conventional football wisdom (and common sense) despite the end of the NBA lockout; and Stevie Johnson made my wildest dreams come true (okay, second-wildest). Just another week in the NFL. With Thanksgiving come and gone like so many unlucky (yet incredibly delicious) turkeys, some teams have more [...]
It took the New England Patriots a drive to get in rhythm, but once they did, Sunday’s game went according to plan. Tom Brady dissected the Philadelphia Eagles’ secondary, the defense allowed just three points across 50 minutes of football, and the Patriots handed the “dream team” Eagles a 38-20 nightmare of a defeat. The [...]
The New England Patriots (8-3) made it three in a row against Philadelphia (4-7) Sunday, throttling the Eagles 38-20 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pa. Brady, Offense In Sync After a shaky first drive that resulted in a punt, Tom Brady and the New England offense were brilliant all afternoon. Brady tossed for 361 [...]
The New England Patriots will be coming off of two blowout victories when they head to Philadelphia for a Sunday afternoon game against the Eagles. The Eagles were dubbed the ‘Dream Team’ during the offseason after signing Nnamdi Asomugha and trading for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, both pro-bowl CBs. However, the team has struggled this year, and [...]
There may not be any other fans in America who have the intensity of those in Philadelphia. With countless incidents throughout the history of sports in Philly, they are often viewed as hostile and the worst fans out there from the outside. Today most of the expression from the fans in The City of Brotherly [...]
After suffering his second neck injury in two years, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Ellis Hobbs will retire from the NFL, according to Adam Caplan of Fox Sports. Hobbs, 27, was traded to the Eagles after four seasons as a starter for the New England Patriots. Throughout his six year career, Hobbs recorded 10 interceptions and three kickoff [...]
Just one week left in the season! Nine of the 12 teams have punched their ticket so far, and as long as the Rams lose or tie in Week 17, a losing team will make the playoffs. The AFC’s road to the Super Bowl goes through Foxboro, and unless the Falcons lose at home to [...]
Just two weeks to go until the playoffs are completely set. And after a concussion, Brett Favre won’t be there to see them. Both the Patriots and the Falcons have a magic number of one to clinch the #1 seeds in their conferences. And at 6-8, one of the Rams or Seahawks have to win [...]
Just three weeks left, and Favre and the Vikings are done. And New England is essentially a lock for #1. The Jets, despite doing so poorly, are also pretty well-ensconced in a Wildcard spot, as are the Ravens. The Colts are on the outside looking in, but they do have a home game against Jacksonville [...]
Just one short month remains in the season, and still, no team has clinched a playoff berth. That’s not a surprise in the NFC West, where it’s still quite possible the division winner will have a losing record. Only in the AFC West does the division leader have a lead more than one game. And [...]
Things are getting really interesting. The four best teams in the AFC will all face each other next week, A team may win the NFC West with a losing record, something no division has ever experienced before. And defenses are starting to figure out Michael Vick a little bit. And the Colts and Packers are [...]
We’re six weeks away from knowing who will face who in January, and Chilly won’t be around to see it. Houston fell yet again, and the Jets won late again, the Falcons came up big in St Louis, and the Panthers are the new Rams, thanks to Buffalo’s massive comeback over Cincy. Thanks to New [...]
With less than two months to go now, the landscape has changed pretty nicely. The Patriots went from contenders to jokes, to contenders again with a defeat of Pittsburgh. Oakland is now in the playoff situation again, somehow. The Cowboys’ coaching change helped them, and hurt the Giants. The Falcons and Jets are back in [...]
Things have suddenly gotten interesting. The Patriots are no longer the best team around, and the Rams are doing something right. And remember the Saints’ poor start? They’re now half a game out of the best record in the league. Ditto for the packers, and just one game back for the Colts. And three games [...]
The Cowboys may not be in a good position to play in their home stadium in February, but the two Jersey teams are on track to face off at that time and place. The Chiefs are still holding on, and the Patriots, despite technically being the second-best team in football, are relegated to the Wild [...]
