Four quarterbacks were taken in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft, and two with the first pair of picks. It was supposed to be the best class of elite quarterbacks to enter the league since John Elway, Jim Kelly and Dan Marino came in together as first-round picks in 1983. That might still […]

Since claiming the Philadelphia Eagles’ top quarterback position, Nick Foles has been on a tear through the NFL. If not for a guy named Peyton Manning, Foles would likely be making a strong case as the NFL’s MVP, but for now, the Eagles will settle for a playoff berth. The Eagles have now won their […]

A whole lot of stupid this week, so let's jump right in. The stupidest challenge Mike Shanahan cost his team a timeout in the fourth quarter of a close game by challenging whether Brandon Myers of the Giants made first-down yardage on this play… The stupidest technicality within a smart rule I understand why the […]

The race for the NFC’s final playoff position is continuing to heat up, and although the loss is serious blow to the Bears’ postseason aspirations, they’re not out of the running just yet.

While looking over the AFC playoff picture, something caught my eyes in the net points column. Most teams in the playoff race are hovering within a couple touchdowns of breaking even in net points, but the New York Jets are an anomaly. At -101 net points, they’re better than only the Jacksonville Jaguars. Early in […]

School and work are out on Thanksgiving, so Americans really have no obligation to learn. And while that's refreshing, anyone who parked themselves in front of the television and spent the day watching football inevitably learned some things about the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Let's […]

After losing on Thanksgiving Day to the Baltimore Ravens, it would be easy to dismiss the Steelers from any playoff discussion, but doing so would be premature at best. Going into this week’s games, the Steelers were tied with a handful of teams at 5-6 for the final AFC playoff position. The Steelers biggest hurdle […]

With their most recent loss coming at the hands of the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day, the Green Bay Packers have put themselves into a corner. While they haven’t been eliminated from the playoff race, there’s little they can do to get themselves back in the race. Even if Aaron Rodgers comes back next week, […]
