To beat the New England Patriots, a team must play perfectly for 60 minutes. Even when Tom Brady is so out of sorts he gets into a screaming match with his offensive coordinator, the Patriots still score so much that anything short of error-free football won’t cut it. The Washington Redskins made two mistakes Sunday: [...]
Tom Brady threw a red zone interception with six minutes to go against the Redskins on Sunday, giving Washington a chance to tie the game late instead of ending the drive with a 14-point lead. Judging by hand motions, it appeared Brady was furious with Tiquan Underwood, who let Josh Wilson undercut his route to [...]
The 9-3 New England Patriots will attempt to lock up the AFC East title this week when they face the 4-8 Washington Redskins in FedEx Field. The Patriots would clinch their third division crown in a row with a win and a New York Jets loss. New England has won its last four games and [...]
The first week of the second half of the 2011 NFL season is over, and the results have me just as confused as you probably are after trying to read the first part of this sentence (translation: Week 9 happened). It is total anarchy from spots 2-31, with only the top team and the bottom [...]
With another week done in the NFL, and teams starting to have byes, many teams are still fighting to take control of their divisions and conferences. The Lions and Packers remain unbeaten, while the Rams, Colts and Dolphins remain winless. At this stage, only San Francisco has a multiple-game lead in their division; three other [...]
We’re already through a quarter of the NFL season, and we’ve already seen a lot of surprises. Some people though Detroit would be good, but I don’t think anyone thought they’d be 4-0 good. Buffalo finally knocked off New England. Philadelphia has been quite lackluster. Tampa’s holding their own in the ultra competitive NFC South. [...]
When I first woke up to Toucher & Rich on my iHome talking about the Patriots offer of a 2013 5th round draft pick to acquire the eponymous Albert Haynesworth in a trade with the Redskins, I was a little wary. Not only has he been unproductive in his two years in Washington, he has actually gone so [...]
Once again, the Patriots have rolled the dice and picked up a talented player who has had problems on and off the field. We saw how it worked out with Corey Dillon and Randy Moss; now the Pats hope it works again with former Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth. Haynesworth: The Good At his best, Albert [...]
The Patriots have pulled of a shocking trade, acquiring defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth from the Washington Redskins for a fifth round draft pick in 2013, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The trade is now pending a physical, of course…but that’s something that Haynesworth, who is owed $5.4 million this season, had trouble with last season [...]
Something’s going on in the NFL. The AFC West is completely flopped from last season, New Orleans lost at home to Cleveland, and the Cowboys and Vikings are still not too good, and Green Bay is borderline. At least we still have one winless team in Buffalo to root for to fail. The Colts are [...]
Now that Randy Moss has played a game in a Vikings’ uniform, its pretty clear that him bring traded meant little for his owners in fantasy. However, that does not mean that the trade will not have an effect on other fantasy owners, with Deion Branch still available in most leagues. Week 6 Pickups Here [...]
As quickly as Week 5, no more unbeaten teams are left. Though there are three winless teams, and surprisingly, none of them are the Lions or Rams. The Chiefs defense looked pretty good, but after losing several gambles and not scoring a touchdown against the Colts, how long can the Chiefs keep it up? And [...]
Who could have ever predicted that the Chiefs would be the last unbeaten team left? Or that the Colts wouldn’t be in the picture at all? Or even in 3rd place in their division for that matter? The Rams have an actual winning streak in place, too. The NFL has been turned upside down for [...]
The early weeks of the football season is an important time for fantasy team owners. Often players that are barely on the mind of fantasy owners during the draft end up carrying a team into the playoffs. Last year, Sidney Rice was one of the more productive receivers in the game, but largely went undrafted [...]
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 [...]
