I want to start this post off with a question: does making a change at head coach in the middle of a string of playoff appearances ever work out for teams that do it? That is to say, if you’re a team like the Bills, and you’ve been knocking on the door for a while… Read More Will the Bills Fire Sean McDermott?
I promised you Divisional Round INSANITY but we saw nothing of the sort. These games were pretty orderly and ho-hum when you compare them to last year’s games. I thought for sure the Bills-Bengals game would be off the chain, but it was a beatdown. Then I figured the Dallas-San Fran game would have a… Read More Divisional Round Reactions: Rather Tame, All Things Considered
Before we get into the Divisional Round INSANITY sure to ensue (you’ll know why I’m using that term shortly), I want to just go over a few of the storylines that are dominating NFL talk this week. The 49ers’ Rest Advantage: San Fran vs. Seattle was the first game of wild card weekend, taking place… Read More Divisional Round Insanity Predictions and Hot Takes, and More
I was lucky enough to be in attendance for the Jags vs. Chargers game, so I didn’t really watch much of the 49ers vs. Seahawks game. I saw the first half, the start of the second half, and then we listened to the rest of the game on the way to the stadium in Jacksonville,… Read More Wild Card Round Reactions: Chargers, WHAT HAPPENEDUH?
The playoff field is set: And so here are my tiers going into the Wild Card matchups: Here is the schedule for wild card weekend–oh, I’m sorry: Super Wild Card Weekend™. Betting lines: Nothing too surprising here. Both Vegas and the NFL think the 49ers will make short work of the Seahawks, given that the… Read More 2022 NFL Playoff Tiers, Black Monday Firing Reactions, One Sentence Season Recaps for Non-Playoff Teams | Jim Harbaugh is the Perfect Fit for the Broncos
I spent most of the evening glued to my phone constantly refreshing Twitter for updates on the Damar Hamlin situation. Obviously all my thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and his teammates. Nobody should ever die on a football field—playing the game they love. When I heard Joe Buck say they were doing… Read More Hoping and Praying that Damar Hamlin Pulls Through 🙏
Kind of a surprise given that the Raiders aren’t officially eliminated from the playoffs yet: Not only is Carr benched, he’s basically been kicked off the team: I mean, come on, does anybody buy this? “To avoid the distractions,” the Raiders are saying. When a QB gets benched he normally sits there, on the sideline,… Read More Derek Carr Has Been Benched in Vegas — Has He Played his Last Game for the Raiders?
The Chargers have just beaten the Colts on MNF and clinched a playoff berth for the first time in Justin Herbert’s career. I’m happy about that, because Herbert is definitely too good to not be in the playoffs. Here are my new tiers for week 17. A lot of people are moving the Cowboys up… Read More NFL Week 17 Tiers and Reactions: Zach Wilson Defrauded the Jets, Hackett Gets Canned after 15 Games
Here we go: Again, no team, in my view, deserves to be elevated up to that Death Star tier, even the 13-1 Eagles. It’s not because they went on the road to Chicago and got caught up in a dog-fight with a 3-11 team. I understand stuff like that can happen when it’s late in… Read More NFL Week 16 Tiers: Every Team Summarized in One Sentence; Refs Are Ruining the League
Here we go, hot off the presses following the Patriots’ 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday Night Football: Okay, the Eagles might really be in the Death Star tier. Now 12-1, they appear to be getting better, actually, which is kind of rare when it comes to these teams that have extremely dominant regular… Read More NFL Week 15 Tiers | Every Team Summarized in One Sentence | PLUS: NFL QBS AS NBA PLAYERS
