What I Liked: The Cowboys built such a large lead in the first half that even their inept 4th quarter play couldn’t give the game away, although they did try. The Cowboys dominated a down-on-its-luck team. That’s nothing special. What’s important is that the Cowboys got a big win to stay close to the Giants. […]

Football in late fall is full of rich traditions, from the Thanksgiving day games to the college bowls to the snow-filled clashes for playoff position. It’s a time of pageantry, beauty and brutality, the full expression of football’s finest drama bookended by parades — the Macy’s and the Rose Bowl’s. For the Dallas Cowboys, though, […]

DALLAS COWBOYS (7-6) at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (4-9) Saturday, 8:20 PM ET, NFL Network, Sirius (Dal 92, TB 93), Westwood One Radio Why Watch Dallas lost a heartbreaker Sunday night to division rival Giants. Their playoff hope is very much alive if they win out. That means sweeping aside the Buccaneers tonight, avenging an early […]

For a team that looked youngry and ready to take the next step it sure went south in a hurry. Coming off of a 10-6 season where the Buccaneers narrowly missed out on the playoffs they were supposed to battle the Saints and Falcons for supremacy of the NFC South. After a promising 3-1 start, […]

Last night we watched the product of what happens when a team is completely broken. The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered a 41-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on national television. The Jaguars in particular are in a tough spot when they play teams like the Falcons, or the Chargers as they did two weeks ago. Their […]

Last night we kicked off week 15, with the Falcons (led by 2008 AP Coach of the year Mike Smith) kicking some serious Jaguar butts. I started to think which coach deserves the same accolades this year. This has been one of the more competitive years in terms of the battle for coach of the […]

The line opened at Falcons -10. It closed at nearly -14. And that wasn’t nearly enough, as hordes of the betting public flooded to the sportsbook to put their money on Atlanta. Turns out there might be something to this “wisdom of crowds” thing after all. There were all kinds of deceptive factors in this […]

What I Liked: There really wasn’t much to complain about if you’re a member of the Atlanta Falcons. They dominated the game from start to finish. Roddy White and Julio Jones were able to open up the field for Matt Ryan. There were a couple drives that stalled in the first half, but their defense […]

Todd Haley and Tony Sparano both lost their jobs this week. Despite just three weeks left to play in the season, the Chiefs and Dolphins felt that it was appropriate for them to dismiss their coaches and essentially leave their teams out to dry. So where do they go from here? Big name, big ticket […]

Tonight, the Atlanta Falcons play host to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game has a very lack-luster outward appearance, but it’s a game that I’ll be watching very closely for a lot of reasons. The Jaguars come into the game at just 4-9, far removed from playoff contention. Despite that fact, they’d love to be the […]

Wide receiver Sam Hurd wasn’t getting much game from the Chicago Bears, so he decided to enter a different kind of game instead, according to a shocking report from the Chicago Sun Times. From the timeline of Sun-Times columnist Sean Jensen (@skjensen): #Bears WR Sam Hurd arrested last night in Chicago for allegedly attempting to […]

The ghost of the Buffalo Bills hangs heavy over the AFC playoff picture. If each of the teams at the top win out, the New England Patriots, Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans would each have identical 13-3 records. But the Patriots, having lost to the Bills in that October stunner, would lose out on the […]

Last season, the St. Louis Rams rolled out their quarterback of the future in Sam Bradford. At times, he dazzled us with his ability to put the football on target and on time in small gaps in the defense. To put it lightly, he was the next big thing. Bradford was supposed to bring the […]

One thing we know for sure: The NFC playoff bracket will not feature a team with a losing record. (The New Orleans Saints can breathe a big sigh of relief.) The two wildcard teams each have 8 wins, and the 7-win East-leading Giants have to play the 7-win Cowboys in Week 17, which eliminates the […]
