2009 NFL Week 17 Game Recaps

Bills 30, Colts 7 I didn’t expect Peyton Manning to play much in this game. You may look at his stat line (14-of-18, 95 yards, 1 INT) and think that because of those 18 attempts, he was in for a while, but that’s misleading. In the wind and snow, Manning pretty much exclusively tossed screen…

2009 NFL Week 7 Review

Packers 31, Browns 3 The Browns are a disgrace. If this score doesn’t indicate that, they were out-gained 460-139 in this contest, with just 57 yards in the second half. They lost the time-of-possession battle by 11.5 minutes, and were beaten on first downs, 25-12. Things started off promising for the Browns. They got inside…

2008 NFL Divisional Playoffs Review

Ravens 13, Titans 10 I had the Ravens +3 as my Pick of the Month. I was obviously thrilled to watch them win, but I’ll concede that the Titans should have been victorious. Tennessee dominated the game in terms of yardage and time of possession (391-211 and 34:07-25:53). They just fumbled it too many times…

2009 NFL Week 9 Review

Falcons 31, Redskins 17 The Falcons won this game by 14 to improve to 5-3, but what this score doesn’t tell you is that this contest was almost evenly matched. In fact, Washington out-gained Atlanta, 312-306. The problem, as always for the Redskins, was dumb, careless mistakes. Here are some: – On Atlanta’s first drive,…

2010 NFL Week 10 Game Recaps

Falcons 26, Ravens 21 It’s a shame if you don’t have the NFL Network because this matchup had it all, including clutch fourth-quarter drives by both teams and a game-winning play by a Pro Bowler who nearly cost his team a win earlier. The Falcons had control of this game for nearly three quarters. Baltimore…

2010 NFL Week 3 Game Recaps

Titans 29, Giants 10 Despite the 29-10 win, you can’t really say the Titans outplayed the Giants. New York had eight more first downs and 200 more total yards. The problem, naturally, was the team’s multiple mistakes. Eli Manning (34-of-48, 386 yards) threw two interceptions. One wasn’t his fault (it bounced out of Hakeem Nicks’…

2010 NFL Week 15 Game Recaps

Chargers 34, 49ers 7 This score indicates this game was one-sided, but that’s not entirely accurate. The 49ers had a chance to make this a close battle, but continuously shot themselves in the foot. Check out these errors, all of which occurred prior to the first offensive play of the second half: – Delanie Walker…

2010 NFL Week 9 Game Recaps

Falcons 27, Buccaneers 21 Breaking news: The best team in the NFC just lost yet again. The best team in the NFC is now 0-3 against teams with winning records. But at least they’re still the best team in the NFC. This game wasn’t as close as this score indicates. The Falcons outgained Tampa by…

Saints 14, Vikings 9 Al Michaels mentioned that as the Minnesota team bus pulled into the Louisiana Superdome, Brett Favre looked at the stadium and asked himself, “What am I doing here?” That has to be a much more prevalent question now. Favre admitted that a major reason he returned for his 20th season was…
