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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Is The Quest For Perfection In The NFL Worth The Risk?
Let’s be honest. This whole “going undefeated” thing just doesn’t happen in the NFL. Save for the 2007 New England Patriots, it’s only happened one other time in the entire history of the league, and we can only count two times that we’ve seen a team reach the Super Bowl without a loss in the [...]
2009 AFC Playoff Picture: Week 15
It’s Week 15 in the NFL, and while we still have three weeks to figure out who fits where, which teams are pretenders, and which are the actual contenders, tight races in both conferences deserve a look before everything is all wrapped up. Before we get started, bow your head in dismay if you are [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 15 NFL Power Rankings
The story of the 2009 season continues to be about the two undefeated teams, and whether or not they will strive for perfection. There have been rumors that the Indianapolis Colts will begin to rest their starters in the next couple of weeks, which could hurt their chances for a 16-0 season. The New Orleans [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: Week 14 Fantasy Start/Sit Review
As it turned out last week, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive players were not a “full go”, as out Week 14 Start/Sit column suggested. The Cleveland Browns gave most of the Steelers offensive weapons fits, and a poor weather game made for ugly results in a 13-6 Cleveland victory. Which was more unlikely heading into that game; [...]
NFL Quick Hits (Dec. 11th): Matt Ryan questionable for Sunday, Percy Harvin dealing with migraines, and more
Matt Ryan Still Questionable For Sunday Despite reports that Ryan would only start if his top linemen were healthy, head coach Mike Smith has said that Ryan is progressing, and his status will have nothing to do with any players around him. Ryan does appear to be moving around better, and the Falcons sound optimistic, [...]
NFL Fantasy Start and Sit Week 14: Pittsburgh Steelers Are “All Go”
We’ve had two straight average-to-unsatisfactory weeks of our Start/Sit column, and based on our track record of solid calls and usual winning record in most weeks, quite frankly, we’re just getting annoyed. But the playoffs are quickly approaching, and now is not the time to feel sorry, give up, or cry. Read on for our [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week 14 NFL Power Rankings
While the Saints comeback and win over the Washington Redskins in overtime normally would be the story of the week in the NFL, it holds no water compared to the suddenly very interesting division races in the AFC and NFC East. The Giants got past the Cowboys and Tony Romo’s fantastic day of 392 yards [...]
