Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars

By

Andrew Luck was billed as the most NFL-ready quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning -- some even said John Elway. It seems fitting, then, that the 23-year-old rookie was drafted first overall by the Indianapolis Colts, the franchise that drafted both Manning and Elway (the latter forced a trade from the franchise when it was in Baltimore) with the top pick. While the … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars

Don’t Underestimate the Chicago Bears

By

After the dust had settled following the Bear’s third consecutive season opening win at Soldier Field, there was only one thing going through my mind: “The Bears are WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!” But this time, it wasn’t as if Denny Green and the Arizona Cardinals “let us off the hook”. The Bears couldn’t have had their opening 3 minutes go any worse if they planned to. … [Read more...] about Don’t Underestimate the Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears Season Outlook: 2nd Quarter

By

According to my own sound reasoning, the Bears will either be 3-1 or 2-2 heading into the 2nd quarter of the 2012 NFL season. All things considered, 2-2 isn’t exactly reason for panic. Luckily for the Bears, sandwiched between games 5 thru 8 is their bye week in week 6. And the next quartet of opponents appears to be a less daunting bunch… on paper. But the Jaguars, … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears Season Outlook: 2nd Quarter

Jacksonville Jaguars 2012 Fantasy Preview

By

There's a new sheriff in town in Jacksonville and his name is Mike Mularkey. Known for helping in the the development of the Falcons Matt Ryan, Mularkey turns his attention to young quarterback Blaine Gabbert and a Jaguars team who went 5-11 last season while ranking dead last in offensive yards per game. Here are the guys in Jacksonville that you should have on your list … [Read more...] about Jacksonville Jaguars 2012 Fantasy Preview

Jaguars 1st round pick Justin Blackmon: DUI arrest, 3 times legal limit!

By

The Jacksonville Jaguars got some negative news today regarding their first round pick. Justin Blackmon, the #5 overall pick in April's NFL Draft out of Oklahoma State, was busted for DUI, and it was a whopper- three times the legal limit in the state of Oklahoma. The incident occurred early Sunday morning and is not Blackmon's first offense of this sort. He was also … [Read more...] about Jaguars 1st round pick Justin Blackmon: DUI arrest, 3 times legal limit!

Patriots front-runner for Tim Tebow? Jaguars, Dolphins also in the mix

By

Word is all over the internets today that the Peyton Manning deal is done. He'll sign with the Denver Broncos. Which means jettisoning incumbent starter and 2011 franchise identity Tim Tebow. And surprisingly John Fox and John Elway aren't expecting much in return for Tebow; therefore it's a buyer's market. The most logical landing spot might be with the offensive … [Read more...] about Patriots front-runner for Tim Tebow? Jaguars, Dolphins also in the mix

Eventful Two Days Lead to Clean House for Indianapolis Colts

By

Wow. Never mind suggesting what an emotionally draining season 2011 has been for the Indianapolis Colts. The last two days have been taxing enough. Entering Sunday's season finale at Jacksonville, the Colts were a once-proud franchise fallen from grace, a putrid roster bereft of its four-time MVP quarterback to mask its deficiencies and a trainwreck of an organization at … [Read more...] about Eventful Two Days Lead to Clean House for Indianapolis Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars Fire Coach Jack Del Rio

By

Jack Del Rio may be one of the best dressed coaches in any sport. (Especially the leather coat in winter- that look rocks) However, it's just not enough to save his job, as the Jacksonville Jaguars canned him like a tuna today. If June-September is "shirtless driving season" then this seems to be "coach firing season" in both the NFL and college football. Jacksonville is a … [Read more...] about Jacksonville Jaguars Fire Coach Jack Del Rio

Indianapolis Colts Lose Again, Enter Bye Week at 0-10

By

The Indianapolis Colts' home matchup Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars was widely believed to be the game where the NFL's only winless team finally would break through and notch its first victory of 2011. So much for that. The Colts looked woefully inept on offense in falling 17-3 to the Jaguars (3-6) at Lucas Oil Stadium, and they head into their much-needed bye … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Lose Again, Enter Bye Week at 0-10
