During the Chicago Bears’ four-game winning streak, they received pick-me-ups from all three phases, but yesterday against the Baltimore Ravens, they were let down by all three. I’ll even throw in the coaching, because the game plan on both sides of the ball had some issues. That said, the Bears were facing a Ravens team […]
So much is going on with the Cleveland Browns this week, even if nothing actually happens. HC Kevin Stefanski spoke to the media today, GM Andrew Berry is likely to speak following the NFL trade deadline (but not before, which is unusual during a bye week), and QB Dillon Gabriel is likely to be the […]
The Buffalo Bills just took out their frustrations on the Carolina Panthers, winning 40-9 in a game where running back James Cook looked wholly unstoppable. Buffalo’s win put to bed a two-game losing streak that stretched out past their Week 7 bye. No doubt, the Bills were eager to move on from that setback, and […]

Happy Monday, everyone. I was having a good Monday. That is, until Shannon Dawson addressed the media today. No witty quips here. Let’s get to it. 1) Yeah, I’m not happy after Dawson addressed the media on Monday. Here’s why (Dawson starts at the 29-minute mark; I’m not going to transcribe all of it): Ok, […]
The final standard elevation is now in the rearview for Terrell Jennings. A move to the 53-man roster of the New England Patriots is ahead. It just didn’t become official to begin the week. The running back reverted to the practice squad along with safety Richie Grant, a recent signing, on Monday. Both served as […]
The Los Angeles Rams added reinforcements to the cornerback room one week ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline. They acquired CB Roger McCreary from the Tennessee Titans in a late-round pick swap. This was a low risk acquisition from LA’s perspective. If McCreary can play above the relatively low expectations set for Cobie Durant, Darious […]
Well, that didn’t go well at all. The San Francisco 49ers were dominated on both sides of the ball and sustained even more injuries across their defensive line.

Sunday in Denver was a litmus test for the Dallas Cowboys. They set out to take on one of the NFL’s better teams in the Broncos, and while they are an AFC team and therefore a loss to them is the most minimal kind of defeat Dallas could ever suffer from a tie-breaking standpoint, the […]

The bye week is always an opportunity for an NFL team to self-scout, finding ways they’ve been predictable or underwhelming in several aspects of the game. While Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell sent the coaching staff home early last week (with some homework), he even admitted that he wasn’t fully out of work mode when […]
Colts Trade Deadline – Booger in 2006 might be blueprint! IU’s Aiden Fisher PROBABLE! Pacers wounded!
There’s an old adage in football that you should never change a winning team. It’s one of those recycled lines that’s been regurgitated over and over for so long it’s become part of the fabric of football punditry but it is in fact very dumb advice. Unless you have by far and away the best […]

The Texas A&M product was a tweener of sorts coming out of college because there was some position uncertainty surrounding...
