In the span of two months, former Seattle Seahawks star quarterback Russell Wilson has gone from QB1 to QB3 for the lowly New York Giants. A concussion for promising rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart means that the New York Giants need to turn to a backup. Wilson, who was the Week 1 starter for the Giants […]
Thanks to the nflFastR project, Pro Football Focus and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data. For those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week judging how well the Colts’ QB performed. Yes, O-Line, receivers, and play-calling impact these numbers but they are primarily QB measures. I will probably modify the […]
The Carolina Panthers released their first injury report of the week, as is custom on Wednesdays. In a refreshing turn of events, it’s a relatively short list. So while the loss to the Saints was tremendously damaging to the ego and vibes of the Panthers, it didn’t hurt them too badly physically. Trevin Wallace left […]

The Aaron Glenn era in New York has reached peak dysfunction, and it’s not even Thanksgiving. During a press conference on Tuesday, Glenn declined to provide injury updates on Jets players — something he had done to open every press conference this season. Instead, Glenn told reporters to ask fellow reporter, ESPN’s Rich Cimini, for the injury updates. “I’m going to pass on talking about injuries since Rich has all the answers,” Glenn said on Tuesday. “You guys can get all the injuri...
The Vancouver Canucks got worrying news on their oft-injured starter as reports indicate a Thatcher Demko injury will keep him out for roughly two to three weeks. The setback arrived in his first game back after a brief maintenance break, when he exited following the first period against the Winnipeg Jets . Early indications say it is a lower-body issue unrelated to last season’s knee problem or last week’s rest. That is better than worst-case scenarios, but it still puts Vancouver...
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson missed Wednesday’s practice with a knee injury. Head coach John Harbaugh said that Jackson was dealing with “some soreness coming out of the game” in Minnesota on Sunday. It is unclear when Jackson suffered the injury. He was under pressure all game against a relentless Vikings defense that blitzed at […]
The No. 24 Wisconsin Badgers pulled off an 86-55 win over the Ball State Cardinals on Tuesday, improving to 3-0 on the season as they dominated from the start and never trailed for the second straight game. It was a stout defensive performance from Wisconsin, as the new-look group is learning to play with each […]
Tom Brady recently told Matthew Stafford that he expects him to play for another eight seasons, matching the seven-time Super Bowl winners own absurd longevity when he retired at 45. Maybe that’s something that Stafford would consider and he’s playing as good as he ever has before, perhaps even better than he ever has before. […]
The entire fandom of the True North franchise was likely elated when word came out that defenseman Dylan Samberg shed the non-contact jersey in practice, signaling to one & all that Winnipeg’s best defensive player will be back in the line up for the next game. Last year the American was in the top 10 of many defensive categories, so with Sammy slipping into the 2nd pairing along side Neal Pionk …..there has to be hope that some of the Jets’ miscues will be remedied with the big guy patrolling...
It’s a mixed bag of injury news and a busy day for the Atlanta Falcons. Raheem Morris and the team provided multiple updates, including some positive updates for Divine Deablo and Malik Verdon (remember him?) and bad news regarding Storm Norton. Let’s break it all down quickly. Divine Deablo: Back in Week 12? This would […]
With the Philadelphia Eagles on deck for the Detroit Lions, the chatter about the infamous tush push has already overtaken Detroit. The short-yardage play has become synonymous with the Eagles offense, as its success rate of 91.3% on third or fourth-and-1 from 2022-24 is a huge weapon on critical plays. So, yeah, the Lions are […]
The Olympic Stadium in Berlin has witnessed its share of historic feats over the past nine decades. Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor turned the page to a new chapter on a global stage Sunday, with a performance that will be remembered as one of the greatest individual showcases of the modern NFL era. Taylor […]
With Jackson Powers-Johnson going on injured reserve and potentially missing the rest of the 2025 season, it sounds like the Las Vegas Raiders’ coaching staff has made the decision to put rookie Caleb Rogers at the top of the depth chart at right guard. “I couldn’t think of a better opportunity week one as a […]
When the New England Patriots selected TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft, they were hoping to get a home run hitter at the running back position. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday, the rookie was just that: Henderson scored touchdowns of 55 and 69 yards and played a pivotal […]
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce could warrant upwards of $20M/year in a new deal this upcoming offseason: “Teams I’ve talked to anticipate [Alec] Pierce will hit a big number in free agency. They think the $20 million per year threshold isn’t out of the question for him. Pierce is […]
In the NFL, context matters. So many things happen over the course of the season, many of which we as fans, and even those in the national media, are not privy to. I don’t like to throw out overused internet fan tropes, but when the Minnesota Vikings aren’t doing well, the “armchair GM’s” get their […]
The San Francisco 49ers were rather quiet in free agency this offseason, letting several veterans walk, while not signing any player to a deal worth more than $5.25 million per year. Instead, the goal was to rely on and develop the team’s younger talent as they cleaned the books in what seemed like a ‘bridge’ […]
Texas A&M notched a third straight road victory thanks to its 38-17 trouncing of Missouri. The Aggies finally get to return home to College Station this Saturday as Texas A&M hosts South Carolina. The struggling Gamecocks come into this contest with a 3-6 record, while the Aggies hope to reach 10 regular-season wins for the […]
While at times it sure didn’t look like the Buffalo Bills made the trip at all, let me assure you that the team traveled to Florida where they were embarrassed by the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo, usually good for one embarrassing loss per season, is now up to three such games by my count. In looking […]
The iconic voice was back in the broadcast booth.
For the first time in 20 years, the NFC East will have a repeat champion. The Eagles can stumble, and are stumbling, their way through the rest of the season, and they will win the division because somebody has to and the rest of the division is declining to participate. The NFC Least is so […]
I asked two weeks ago “What are your expectations for the next 3 games”. 90% were expecting either two wins, or that we would sweep the three games. Due to the klunker in Pittsburgh, we will now have to go to KC and win, if we are going to be correct about our prognostications. We […]
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is having a tremendous year. After a horrific season-ending injury suffered by wide receiver Tyreek Hill against the New York Jets in Week 3, Waddle was primed for much bigger role for the rest of the season. So far, he’s lived up to the task. But, that almost wasn’t […]
The Buffalo Bills’ 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins was a stark reminder that even division dominance isn’t guaranteed. What was supposed to be a routine bounce-back after a promising win over the Kansas City Chiefs turned into an offensive sputter and ended with a defensive collapse, allowing Miami to snap a seven-game losing streak […]
