The New York Jets lackluster play is more frustrating than normal because this team has shown that they have talent. Behind all of the penalties, turnovers, and play calls that will make your head spin is a team that has managed to keep every game close. This is a team that was actually beating up on the Green Bay Packers 21-3 at one point. … [Read more...] about Jets are Geno Smith’s team; for better or worse

Olivia Munn doesn’t play defense for Green Bay’s opponent each week
Ever since Aaron Rodgers took over for Brett Favre as the Packers’ starting quarterback in 2008, Green Bay has been one of the most successful franchises in the NFL—if not the most successful. With six straight playoff appearances and counting, the Packers are tied with the New England Patriots for longest active streak of making the postseason. … [Read more...] about Olivia Munn doesn’t play defense for Green Bay’s opponent each week
Chicago Bears All-22: Rookie DT’s
The Chicago Bears drafted rookie defensive tackles Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton to help add youth to an aging defensive line. Ferguson is more of a running game clogger and Sutton a pass rush specialist. Against the New York Jets this past Monday, Sutton earned extended snaps with the injury to Jeremiah Ratliff and showed a lot of promise. In limited snaps, Ferguson showed his … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears All-22: Rookie DT’s
London Calling: flailing Oakland Raiders face a must-win already
After appearing to send the Patriots to overtime while on the road with a game-tying touchdown, the play was called back for holding. The next play was what any Raiders game-ending interception would be like- bobbled off of their own receivers’ hands and into the mitts of a 325 pound defensive tackle. After Charles Woodson noted that his new team “sucks” after losing to the … [Read more...] about London Calling: flailing Oakland Raiders face a must-win already
Cincinnati Bengals: your new Super Bowl favorite
It seems early to already be down to just one undefeated team in the AFC, but the Bengals are playing like they could maintain that storyline well into November. They’re led by a defense who is hungry for more. Aside from the Ravens making a game of it late during the fourth quarter, the Bengals have been almost untouchable. That defense is suffocating opposing quarterbacks … [Read more...] about Cincinnati Bengals: your new Super Bowl favorite

The NFL needs complete overhaul; starting at the top
The NFL has had a rough couple weeks; to say the least. Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, and league commissioner Roger Goodell have exposed the NFL as a broken and flawed organization that depended so much on its image that it overlooked the ugliness that was inside the whole time. There is a good chance that the aforementioned players and commish will never set foot on a football … [Read more...] about The NFL needs complete overhaul; starting at the top
NY Jets should effectively rush Aaron Rodgers
This NY Jets defense contains arguably Rex Ryan’s best pass rush since he came to New York in 2009. Through the years, he’s been able to call defensive gems against the likes of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. He did so against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers back in 2010, but the offense faltered and the Jets were shutout 9-0. Rodgers went just 15 of 34 for 74 yards … [Read more...] about NY Jets should effectively rush Aaron Rodgers
