2009 NFL Week 15 Game Recaps

Colts 35, Jaguars 31 This loss is the end of the 2009 Jaguars. I know they can win out and finish 9-7, but they put everything into this game. The fans actually showed up for the first time all year; the team played way above standards; Jack Del Rio and Dirk Koetter actually got the…

2010 NFL Week 6 Game Recaps

Rams 20, Chargers 17 San Diego’s first road loss was just a fluke. The rain was coming down, Arrowhead was loud, and the Chiefs hit three big plays. OK… San Diego’s second road loss happened because of two kickoff returns for Seattle. That can’t possibly happen again, so let’s write that off. All right… San…

2009 NFL Week 8 Review

Ravens 30, Broncos 7 With Baltimore’s poor secondary play, all the talk this past week was how rookie corner Laradarius Webb was going to get more defensive looks. Webb didn’t contribute on defense, but he essentially won the game for the Ravens. Coming out of halftime, Baltimore held a slim 6-0 lead. Webb made it…

My third 2010 NFL Power Rankings. I’ve used these rankings as the order for the recent update of my 2011 NFL Mock Draft (April 27). I’ve gone from WORST to FIRST, so if you don’t see reverse numbering (via Javascript), don’t worry; the Rams, Chiefs and Browns aren’t my top teams. Updated: 4/27 St. Louis…

2008 NFL Week 9 Review

Jets 26, Bills 17 It’s official: Eric Mangini has no idea what he’s doing. The Jets stopped the Bills on third-and-11. Buffalo was penalized five yards. Though he had the option of declining the penalty and forcing a field goal, Mangini, in his infinite wisdom, pushed Buffalo back to make the kick tougher. Instead, Trent…

2008 NFL Week 5 Review

Panthers 34, Chiefs 0 The Chiefs are comical. The fact that they were outgained by 315 yards doesn’t even tell the whole story. In the third quarter, the Chiefs kept the game alive, intercepting Jake Delhomme in the end zone, down 21-0. Damon Huard tossed a pick on the very next play. It’s tough to…

2008 NFL Week 16 Review

Colts 31, Jaguars 24 When you handicap a game perfectly and watch the unbelievable happen, it can be tough. When it happens a few times a season, it’s sickening. And when it happens as much as it has occurred to me this year, it’s time to keep the car running in the garage. You’re not…

2008 NFL Week 10 Review

Broncos 34, Browns 30 There really is no point in handicapping games anymore. You can be right on the money, have the right side, and still lose. I’m frustrated. The Browns might be the dumbest team of all time. Seriously. I’m convinced that if Roger Goodell announced in August that he would be spotting Cleveland…
