NFL Football News – The Top 10 Teams In The NFL Through 10 Weeks of 2017 With the 10th week of the NFL’s regular season now in the books, we’re starting to find out who are the real “have” and “have nots” in the league. In fact, after this week, we’ve become highly certain of who are the five best teams in each conference. In the NFC, we look like we’re at a point where five of the six … Read More
NFL Football – Don’t Forget About The Carolina Panthers Just as quickly as we started talking about the Carolina Panthers about one-third of the way through the 2017 NFL season, when they were sporting a 4-1 record after the first full weekend of October, that’s how quickly we stopped talking about them after they dropped their next two games. The first one was something of a thriller, in a 28-23 loss to the NFC-leading Philadelphia Eagles, and the other … Read More
NFL Football News – Tennessee Titans Is The Division Leader Nobody Is Talking About Beating your last two opponents — both of whom have a losing record — by a grand total of six points isn’t going to get you a lot of national recognition. Neither is the fact that their immensely talented but somewhat injury-riddled young franchise quarterback has already missed time during the 2017 NFL season. Those are just a few of the reasons why, despite the fact … Read More
They’re No Longer Giants: New York Football Team Is A Mess One day after beating the Washington Redskins and clinching a spot in the 2016-2017 NFC playoffs, New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo granted his team a day off the next day (on Monday), before their upcoming Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers. That’s when the Giants’ wide receiver corps — Odell Beckham Jr., Victor Cruz, Sterling Shepard, and Roger Lewis — decided to head … Read More
Minnesota Vikings: The Quiet Contenders In The NFC The ugly 26-9 loss in Week 2 of the 2017 NFL season might’ve thrown us all off the scent a bit. Then, of course, there was the knee injury that quarterback Sam Bradford sustained in Week 1 of the season, and then re-aggravated in Week 5, which has sidelined him indefinitely. That’s not even mentioning the season-ending torn ACL injury sustained by promising rookie running back Dalvin Cook in Week 4. … Read More
NFL Football News- The Rise Of Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson Pop Quiz: do you know which NFC quarterback currently averages the most passing yards per game, as we round the halfway point of the 2017 NFL season? For as brilliantly as he’s played this season, it’s not Carson Wentz. Despite leading the conference in passing yards for 11 consecutive seasons, it’s not Drew Brees. It’s not Kirk Cousins (playing in a pass-happy offense in Washington) or Jameis Winston … Read More
The Indianapolis Colts Need To Look Ahead To 2018 Their 2-5 record might say otherwise, but if it does, it betrays just how badly the Indianapolis Colts have played this season. The 27-0 loss by the Indianapolis Colts to the Jacksonville Jaguars — at home, no less — is beyond embarrassing. Regardless of the fact that the Colts are playing a backup quarterback, starting behind an offensive line that’s starting backups in four of the five spots along … Read More
The Atlanta Falcons Are Still Suffering From Their Super Bowl Hangover An optimist might point to the fact that the Atlanta Falcons currently have a 3-3 record, and are only one game back of the New Orleans Saints for the NFC South lead (the two teams have yet to play each other). But a realist will likely point to the fact that the Falcons have lost three straight games, and are only two plays away from having a 1-5 … Read More
Should Jacksonville Jaguars’ Leonard Fournette Win Offensive Rookie Of The Year? Entering Week 6 of the NFL season, the Jacksonville Jaguars — owners of the only winning record (3-2) in the AFC South — have generated 50.9% of their total offensive yards through their ground game. That’s the highest such total in the NFL, by more than five percent. In fact, the last team to have more than half of its yardage total come on the ground was the … Read More
NFL Football News – The Cleveland Browns, and the Ghost of Draftmas Present Let’s all hop in a hypothetical time machine, and go back to six months ago. The Cleveland Browns had the #1 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, and there was all this chatter that they were seriously considering passing on defensive end Myles Garret, the consensus #1 prospect, in order to take quarterback Mitchell Trubisky from the University of North Carolina. As ridiculous as it sounded, … Read More
