While the Las Vegas Raiders are set to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9, the majority of this week’s mailbag questions are focused on general manager John Spytek, head coach Pete Carroll and the Raiders’ roster. Without further ado, let’s get to your questions! Q: Ashton Jeanty and Dont’e Thornton are the only […]
It’s Saturday, there’s plenty to do, thanks for checking out Turf Show Times! Have the combination of Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams arrived? They are heading into Sunday coming off of connecting on two touchdowns last game, can they do it again? We’ll have to wait and see. What we do know is, if Adams […]
The Dallas Cowboys just can’t decide who they should be. One week they are up, the next they are down. They continually hover around the break-even point with their record, which manages to simultaneously keep them in and out of playoff contention. They just can’t decide on a direction. So we decided to ask you […]
What a busy Saturday for me today!! So many things I want to do, but not enough time to fit everything in. Of course sports are playing a big part of that, with the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers facing the Montreal Alouettes at 1 pm ( Central ), the NHL’s Winnipeg Jets clashing with the Pittsburgh Penguins at 2 pm, and then the Toronto Blue Jays looking to win Game 7 of the MLB World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at 7 pm. And as if that wasn’t enough to have on tap….I also have to atten...
Nakobe Dean may have just recently returned to the field for the Eagles, but he’s been busy this season, both rehabbing his injury and making an impact in the community. He spent the offseason attending most of his teammates philanthropic events and hosting his own through his Kind Hearts 4 Lyfe Foundation, and they pulled […]
The New Orleans Saints didn’t pick an easy matchup for rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to make his first start. The Los Angeles Rams are 5-2 and coming off back-to-back wins. The Saints have now fallen to 1-7 and are entering as 14-point underdogs. With such lopsided projections, New Orleans must take advantage of these key […]
The 2025 season is done. It is time to start looking ahead. Hope replaces disappointment. The off-season has not really started yet, although the talking about the off-season is well underway. Lots of people have lots of ideas about how to improve this roster. Of course, the only people who really count in this are […]
Current Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson played football at the University of North Carolina as a walk-on quarterback under offensive coordinator John Shoop, who also happened to be the Bears’ play-caller in 2001. Shoop, serving as offensive coordinator under then-head coach Dick Jauron when Chicago visited Cincinnati on Oct. 21, 2001, played a formative role in Johnson’s coaching development. Johnson has credited Shoop as one of his biggest mentors, and it seems fitting that we revis...
The New England Patriots have played two games versus NFC South teams so far, winning both by a combined score of 67-32. In order to make it 3-0 against the division, they will have to beat the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. An up-and-down team so far this season, the Falcons have played some good football […]

Fans of the Carolina Panthers are rather expert at spotting a head coach who isn’t going to last. Team owner David Tepper may have a reputation for an itchy trigger finger when it comes to his head coaches, but he has yet to fire somebody who the fanbase hadn’t already soured on. Ron Rivera, Matt […]
The Cleveland Browns are regrouping in Week 9, while on their bye, as the NFL trade deadline looms in just a couple of days. The big rumors surround DE Myles Garrett, although a report was definitive that he is not going anywhere, and TE David Njoku, among others. A season that had a little bit […]
How to watch: Sat, 11/01 , 10:15 PM/EST – ESPN As the 2026 NFL Draft cycle quietly starts taking shape, one name beginning to climb onto the radar of scouts and potentially the Jets is Brendan Sorsby. The former Indiana transfer has found his groove at his new program, showing the kind of composure, accuracy, […]
We’re back from the bye and it’s time for our weekly tradition of predicting Las Vegas Raiders games on Saturday. I’m coming out of the bye with a 6-1 record in Raiders games this season. I follow trends and the Raiders have been trending down. Yes, though, their Week 9 opponent, the visiiting Jacksonville Jaguars, […]
The Miami Dolphins offense continues to leave opportunities on the field, and linebacker Jordyn Brooks is fed up with it.
In 2025, the Kansas City Chiefs’ assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Dave Toub has spent much of his time answering questions about the struggles of kicker Harrison Butker, who has missed a total of six field goals and extra points this season. Over the last two games, however, there has been less focus […]
Commanders links Articles ESPN Commanders trying to revive run game vs. Seahawks, Lions In early October, the Washington Commanders capped off their fifth game of the season doing what they had done in most of the first four: run the ball well. It led to a double-digit road win at the Los Angeles Chargers. The […]
This summer, I took the opportunity to survey the landscape of Chicago Bears rivalries entering the 2025 NFL season. This included a ranking of the team’s (or fanbase’s) ten biggest rivals, with three honorable mentions thrown in for good measure: My ranking took a number of factors into consideration, but now that the we are […]
As fans take the bye week to reflect on the first eight weeks of the season, it is a good time to consider what the Cleveland Browns’ goal was going into this season. After a three-win season in 2025 and the knowledge that the team has two first-round draft picks in the 2026 NFL draft, […]

Things happen every game in the game of American Football that we don’t even think about. Like, how did the goalposts go from an “H” to the way they are constructed now? Where did hash marks come from? Why is it four downs to make 10 yards? How did the “quarterback” get its name? What […]
Welcome back to another mailbag. This one comes after a strange loss to the Houston Texans. The 49ers are traveling to the East Coast again to face the New York Giants. I see the 49ers winning this one, but I’m not going to be surprised if some crazy shenanigans and injuries cost them the game. […]
Following their third consecutive win — a 28-7 defeat of the Washington Commanders — the Kansas City Chiefs are taking their 5-3 record back on the road to face the Buffalo Bills in a critical AFC West showdown. Here’s what I’ll be wondering as the Week 9 matchup gets underway. 1. How well can Kansas […]
