If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 10

By ⋅ November 16, 2010 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 9

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 6

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 [...]

2010 NFL Predictions: NFC East

By ⋅ September 11, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

As usual, the NFC East is probably the most difficult division to forecast.  The Redskins made some moves that could really go either way, and the exciting young Eagles will definitely entertain.  The Cowboys have remained in-tact while adding the draft’s most exciting play in Dez Bryant.  Throw in a healthy Giants team and you [...]

McNabb’s a Redskin, Not a Raider: Pats Fans Rejoice

By ⋅ April 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Recently, I went to the Washington Redskins Web site and saw Donovan McNabb No. 5 jerseys available for pre-order. It’s a weird sight. Even his official Web site didn’t mention the trade a night after it happened. For over a decade, we have watched as McNabb came out of Syracuse to become a perennial Pro Bowl player [...]

NFL Power Rankings: Make Your Super Bowl Pick

By ⋅ January 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

All the hard work from the regular season has come down to this: the playoffs. Four teams will get a rest, while eight others will play do-or-die games in the Wild Card weekend. Right now, Sports of Boston’s top football minds have ranked the remaining 12 teams and who they will see in the Super [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 16

By ⋅ December 31, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

With just one week left before the playoffs are set, this is the final installment of the NFL’s weekly playoff hypotheticals. Plenty of surprises have taken place this past week (New Orleans and Indy BOTH lose on home turf?) and many are yet to take place (seven, count ‘em, seven) teams are still alive for [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 15

By ⋅ December 22, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The pieces are starting to fall into place. Five of the eight divisions have been officially clinched. Once powerful contenders (Giants, Broncos, Steelers) and teams that once had high expectations (Titans, Falcons, Panthers) are faltering, while newcomers (Saints, Bengals) are making headlines. In the NFC, only the Giants are on the outside looking in, while [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 14

By ⋅ December 15, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 13

By ⋅ December 8, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 12

By ⋅ December 1, 2009 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

TGIF: Do You Smell What the Rock is Cookin’?

By ⋅ November 27, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Washington Redskins backfield has had a tough go of it this season. First off, Clinton Portis, after having 325+ carries in four of his last five seasons, seems to have finally hit the running back wall. He was struggling to hit 4.0 ypc and had just one TD on the season until he left [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 11

By ⋅ November 24, 2009 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NFL Week 10

By ⋅ November 17, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

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 [...]
