Is Mike Shanahan Washington’s Missing Piece?
Norv Turner couldn’t do it. The guy that originally brought Washington two titles, Joe Gibbs, couldn’t get it done in his second try, either. Few truly believed Jim Zorn, who had zero previous head coaching experience was ready, so after all the Washington Redskins franchise has been through in the past 15+ years, what makes [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Post-Season Power Rankings
You can never learn anything if you don’t re-trace your steps. That’s why, instead of merely assessing each team’s standing in the rankings for the final Power Rankings of the season, this writer is looking back to Week One, both to judge the teams that failed us, as well as the writer’s original thoughts on [...]
Don’t Blame Josh McDaniels For Denver’s Woes
His tenure started with a bang. Down Goes Cutler, in a way, is what should have rang in the ears of NFL fans everywhere. Of course, you had your Jay Cutler haters, who shrugged off the bold move by new head coach, Josh McDaniels, to challenge the rising superstar quarterback. Bold? Yes, you’d say. Stupid? [...]
Jay Cutler in Chicago: Work in Progress or Failure?
The 2009 NFL season is over for the Chicago Bears. Both because it’s now 2010, and because playoff season has started. The Bears, at 7-9, will not be taking part, despite once hoping in the off-season that their ambitious trade for Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler would make them a complete team. After a horrid [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17
We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn’t just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, “Who can’t?”. Speaking of former unbeaten [...]
NFL Week 16 Preview: Five Things to Watch For
Last week we saw the New Orleans Saints finally fall, while the Indianapolis Colts extended their record to 14-0, and now stand as the only undefeated team in the league. We’re also getting closer to the possibility of Chris Johnson reaching the 2,000-yard plateau, which only adds to the AFC playoff race, as Johnson’s team, [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 16 NFL Power Rankings
Irony, it appears, is not lost in the NFL. The team that was openly vocal about aiming for a 16-0 season, the New Orleans Saints, was handed it’s first loss in Week 15, while the team that was quiet and disciplined, the Indianapolis Colts, continued it’s march for perfection. While the top two spots remain [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: Week 15 Fantasy Start & Sit Review
After two questionable weeks in our Fantasy Football Start/Sit Column, we’ve finally turned it around (just as we promised) and delivered a solid record in our player picks for Week 15. And we weren’t just a “little” right this week, folks. We hit it big with Tony Romo and Joe Flacco as starts, as well [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 18th): Mark Sanchez likely to return this week, Calvin Johnson back at practice, Devin Hester likely out this week, and more
Mark Sanchez Looks to Start Week 15 He missed last week and showed New York and the rest of the football world that, despite being a rookie and making some mistakes this year, he’s still a much better player than the veteran Kellen Clemens. Sanchez has been practicing and looks like he’ll be ready for [...]
Matt Gentile’s Week 15 NFL Power Rankings
1. New Orleans Saints (13-0) They pulled the baby out of the fire the last two weeks, but New Orleans is doing the right thing by keeping their starters in the rest of the way and trying for 16-0. 2. Indianapolis Colts (13-0) Many experts are saying Indianapolis will sit their starters now that they’re [...]
