With Pete Carroll in Seattle, the Pieces Are Quickly Coming Together
After General Manager Tim Ruskell was released from the Seattle organization in December, it was clear the Seahawks were headed for a makeover.

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 [...]
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.

Mike Holmgren Officially Turns Down Seattle Seahawks This wasn’t a surprise.

NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 14th): Kevin Smith likely done for season, Jamarcus Russell back in starting line-up, and more
Kevin Smith Likely Out For Season With Torn ACL Early reports suggest Smith tore his ACL in Detroit’s loss the the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, and that the second-year back is almost certainly done for the season.

The NFL regular season is finally over, and for the last 12 teams standings, it’s time to start preparing for the playoffs.
