Ryan Pace was hired to be the Bears’ GM on January 8, 2015. We are now going in to season 7 of the Pace era, and the results have been, in a word, underwhelming. In an offseason that began with high hopes of trading for Russell Wilson, the Bears wound up with Andy Dalton, and… Read More Is Ryan Pace as Bad as Bears Fans Say He Is?
The #1 story of NFL free agency 2021 has been the New England Patriots going on a massive spending spree. We’re currently two days into free agency–technically it’s the “legal tampering period” but teams and players can already agree to deals, so free agency has de facto begun–and the Patriots have already signed the following… Read More What is Bill Belichick Doing?
I was listening to the Rich Eisen show recently, and he did a great segment where he took a look at the past 10 Super Bowl championship teams (so since 2011) and what percentage of their salary cap they spent on their starting quarterback. He was trying to see if there was some magic number… Read More Do Expensive Quarterbacks Kill Your Chances at a Championship?
I wrote in my Matt Stafford piece that I think he’s now the 3rd best QB in the NFC behind Brady and Rodgers. I even put him ahead of Russell Wilson and Dak Prescott. So that got me thinking about the QB rankings in the NFC from 1-16, and then I had to make this… Read More NFL QB Rankings For 2021: NFC
The final in Tampa: Bucs 31, Chiefs 9. A total beatdown. Brady now has 7 rings, more than any other NFL franchise. The Patriots and Steelers both have 6 rings in their franchise histories. Brady has 7. That’s just absurd. He proved that it wasn’t just the Patriots’ system that made him great. What more… Read More 🐐🐐 S E V E N 🐐🐐🐐 R I N G S 🐐🐐
We are now just days away from the first-ever Super Bowl matchup between two QBs who have won both regular season and Super Bowl MVP awards. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. When the Patriots played the Seahawks in the 2014 Super Bowl, both Brady and Russell Wilson had previously won Super Bowls, but… Read More Brady vs. Mahomes: Super Bowl LV Prediction
The Los Angeles Rams have made a substantial upgrade at the quarterback position, trading Jared Goff and a couple of first round picks for longtime Lions QB Matthew Stafford: I’ve written on this site before about how I think Stafford is an incredibly underrated QB. For the past few months it has been rumored that… Read More Rams Trade for Matthew Stafford, Goff to Detroit
As I was watching this game, there were so many different storylines I had in mind to write about. There was Tampa’s 14 points via turnovers, Brady’s 3 INTs, the Scottie Miller TD before halftime, Suh tipping the pass on the Green Bay 2-point conversion attempt when the score was 28-23, all the third down… Read More Bucs Are Going to the Super Bowl (The Packers Blew It)
I was a mediocre 2-2 in my divisional round picks. I was wrong about the Ravens-Bills game and the Saints-Bucs game. I thought the Ravens would be able to score more, but it turns out Justin Tucker picked the playoffs to have the worst game of his career. I’ve got to give Buffalo’s defense credit… Read More AFC/NFC Championship Weekend Breakdown & Predictions
Packers 32, Rams 18 Anytime the Rams would get close, the Packers would pull away. The first quarter ended with a 3-3 tie, but then the Packers went up 10-3. Then 16-3 (missed extra point). The Rams added a TD toward the end of the first half to cut the deficit to 16-10, but the… Read More NFL Playoffs: Divisional Round Reactions
