If there’s one category Rex Ryan is dominant in, it’s his ability to make rookie quarterbacks look like they don’t belong on the field. With a 7-3 record against rookie quarterbacks, Jets fans should look forward to seeing Derek Carr step out onto the MetLife Stadium turf with the Oakland Raiders. Some NFL pundits wonder whether Derek Carr should even be on the field this … [Read more...] about NY Jets just cannot lose to Raiders rookie QB Derek Carr

What is the Chicago Bears Biggest Need?
It seems like such a simple question, but no one can provide a definitive answer. In free agency, the Bears did quite a bit in terms of addressing some of their most glaring needs. The offensive tackle, tight end, and linebacker positions were all upgraded. But with the NFL Draft less than a week away, predictions are still all over the board for who the Bears may take … [Read more...] about What is the Chicago Bears Biggest Need?
Don’t Underestimate the Chicago Bears
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
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
What should the Detroit Lions do with their first two draft picks?
Why do I have the Detroit Lions going O Line in both of the first two rounds of the NFL Draft? Am I nuts? Well, probably, but not because of my mock draft. The picks I made are for different positions among the big guys up front. And there's versatility with what I can do here in their starting lineup by plugging in those guys. Most importantly, their RBs have not been … [Read more...] about What should the Detroit Lions do with their first two draft picks?
Who will Break Dan Marino’s Passing Record Next Week?
The NFL has certainly gone out of the way in recent years to emphasize the passing game. Numerous rule changes and rule tweaks have changed the game, enabling passers to put up big numbers and let offenses score at will. As a result, quarterbacks are the highest paid NFL players, with those most entrusted in protecting the QB's blind side (left tackles) and those with the … [Read more...] about Who will Break Dan Marino’s Passing Record Next Week?

Bears DT Anthony Adams: (Gut Busting Dance Video)
Every great football movie/tv show has the loud, ostentatious, lovable fat guy character in it. Think about it: Billy Bob in "Varsity Blues," the grifter guy in "Wildcats," Tanker in "Friday Night Lights," the list goes on and on. A real life show-off lard ass exists on the Chicago Bears in DT Anthony Adams. It's just too bad the team did not play as well as Adams gets down. … [Read more...] about Bears DT Anthony Adams: (Gut Busting Dance Video)
Detroit Lions 24, Chicago Bears 13: Rapid Reaction
Stop us if you heard this before- Jay Cutler didn't have much a pocket to work with, and his receivers did very little to help him. Matthew Stafford (19-26-219-1-2), on the other hand, actually had some protection, and his two TD passes put Detroit ahead in the third. Jahvid Best’s (12-163-1) 88-yard run later in the third quarter gave the Lions a double-digit lead, and they … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions 24, Chicago Bears 13: Rapid Reaction
How Matthew Stafford Can Become the Next Aaron Rodgers
At the time of publication Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers had a quarterback rating south of the century mark, but he is still one of the top performers in the league. He is a man much like Steve Young, who learned behind a legend before taking the reins in his prime and becoming more effective than his predecessor could possibly be during the final portion of his career. … [Read more...] about How Matthew Stafford Can Become the Next Aaron Rodgers
