When you think about how deep the 49ers roster has been and how good they’ve been at stockpiling draft picks, you might assume they have drafting down to an art/science. But the last decade or so has been a lot more hit and miss than you’d expect. Specifically they haven’t always done a great job […]

The Dolphins are still in the playoff mix after a tough grind of a win on Monday night against the Jets. If you watched that game, though, you know the Dolphins are not only barely clinging to the final wild card berth at 7-5 but they don’t look like a team primed to finish strong. It makes […]

The Titans are still paying for taking bad quarterbacks in the top ten. Not once, but twice, over the course of the last nine years. Neither player panned out and they’ve already moved on to rookie Zach Mettenberger at this point. The Titans seem to be drafting better as of late so the jury is […]

At 4-6 the Saints are still somehow firmly entrenched in the playoff hunt thanks to being in a disaster of a division. In fact, they’re tied for first place. But we’re starting to see the lack of depth and big contracts of the better players take its toll on the team. That, and some recent […]

No one expected the Jets to be quite this bad in 2014 but their season is in complete shambles. Many saw an aging and over the hill Michael Vick quarterbacking the team at some point this season and sure enough he’s now the starter for this 2-8 team. It’s hard to believe this is the […]

The NFC South has been the weakest division in football this year and the Buccaneers own the distinction of being the worst of the bunch. No loss was worse than the 56-14 embarrassment against the 3rd place Falcons who have only won one other game. This is nothing new in Tampa, though. The Bucs haven’t won […]

This has been a disaster season for the Vikings and the primary reason why has to be the suspension (of sorts) for Adrian Peterson. Not that the Vikings were a shoe in by any means with him, but without him it was clear they wouldn’t amount to much. That, and Teddy Bridgewater just isn’t ready […]

Our weekly series on poor drafting gives us the Buffalo Bills this week. To everyone’s current surprise they only stand one game behind the Patriots for first place in the NFC East with a 3-3 record, but based on recent history most people expect that to come crashing down soon enough. If recent history is any indicator, […]

Every year we hear about how the Rams are finally turning a corner and THIS is the year they’ll finally surprise people. But after Sam Bradford went down with yet another season ending injury and the team is starring down the barrel of a 1-3 start, can any of us really say we’re surprised? The […]

The Raiders just fired the head coach Dennis Allen after another predictable but incredibly disappointing 0-4 start. Like the Jaguars, the Raiders just can’t seem to shake this consistent rut they are in of year to year ineptitude. Since they lost the Super Bowl to Tampa Bay in 2002, the Raiders have not had a […]

The Jaguars are a team in the dumps and every season they seem to sink further into the abyss of NFL irrelevance. The 0-3 start certainly hasn’t helped as it has already become clear this will be another season with no playoff berth. Jacksonville is a team that struggles to get fan support and has […]

The embarrassing 17-6 loss to the lowly reigning NFL worst Texans on Sunday was a hit to the RG3 era. The fact that we witnessed a Robert Griffin III directed offense produce one scoring drive (with a blocked extra point to boot, thank you very much) in four quarters is alarming. Griffin ran three times […]

Every NFL team goes into a season hoping they’ll never have to use their backup, unless it’s in garbage time or in a meaningless game after a playoff berth has been clinched. The reality is that poor play by the starter, or injury, thrusts a backup quarterback into action more than most fans would hope. […]

Oh God, what have I done, can I take it back?!?! As a fan of the New Orleans Saints, I watched “my team” get wrecked in Seattle twice last year, once to diminish their playoff seeding, and once to end their entire season. It was not fun times. Of course I then watched that Seahawks’ […]
