Mike Martz hasn't always been known as the easiest guy to get along with. It's not necessarily that he's mean, arrogant, or brass. He's just stubborn. He loves to air it out. He passes to set-up the pass. His offense thrives on blowing the other team's offense out of the water, making ... Continue Reading

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 ... Continue Reading

We were once again thwarted by the Colts, as they took care of business against Tennessee.
