2009 NFL Week 20 Game Recaps

Colts 30, Jets 17 It’s really amazing how different the first 28 minutes of this game were compared to the final 32 minutes. The Jets led 17-6. They were hitting big plays against a sloppy Colts defense, and Peyton Manning was dancing around in the pocket as if he were battling the Chargers. New York…

2009 Championship Sunday Review

Cardinals 32, Eagles 25 I don’t even know how to begin describing this game. There were so many momentum shifts, great plays and horrific calls by an inept officiating crew. Let’s begin with a post-game quote by Adrian Wilson, who has been with the Cardinals for his entire 8-year career. “Amazing…” said a speechless, tearful…

2009 NFL Week 1 Review

Steelers 13, Titans 10 It’s starting early this year, isn’t it? Four units down the drain because Hines Ward decided to fumble at Tennessee’s 4-yard line. If Ward didn’t score on that play, Pittsburgh, in all likelihood, would have gotten a touchdown and covered the 6-point spread. Instead, the Steelers won in overtime by a…

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…

2008 NFL Week 15 Review

Bears 27, Saints 24 Rest in peace, 2008 Saints. With a seventh loss, they’re officially done. They still had a pulse at 7-6, but 7-7 has spelled the end for the preseason NFC South favorites. Sean Payton said the following before the game: “We can’t go three-and-out. We can’t give the Bears a short field.”…

2008 NFL Wild Card Playoffs Review

Cardinals 30, Falcons 24 Matt Ryan opened up his pro career with a 60-yard touchdown strike on his first throw. His first pass in the playoffs, however, was an interception that sailed into the hands of Cardinals defensive back Ralph Brown. That basically epitomized how Ryan would play the entire afternoon. He had three spectacular…

2008 NFL Week 3 Review

Bills 24, Raiders 23 They’re growing up before our very eyes. This was an obvious trap game for the Bills, as they had every reason to have a letdown after beating two 2007 postseason participants. The Raiders had a 24-13 lead with five minutes remaining in regulation, but Trent Edwards was able to go 6-of-8…
