NFL passing emphasis, rushing decline: by the numbers
It’s happening. The day has finally come where the play calling in the NFL resembles my own play calling from back when I first started playing Madden. First and 10? Streak to the endzone. Second and four? Streak to the endzone. Third and short? Streak to the endzone. Okay, it might not be that drastic. But if it hasn’t been apparent in the past decade or so leading up to … [Read more...] about NFL passing emphasis, rushing decline: by the numbers

Indianapolis Colts could make push for division title with win at Houston
The Indianapolis Colts have exceeded even the wildest of expectations this season. The departure of Peyton Manning? A rookie quarterback and a young roster overall, working against a salary cap strapped with dead money? The Colts' task was daunting entering the season. And then, three weeks in, the team's new head coach, Chuck Pagano, was diagnosed with leukemia and would … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts could make push for division title with win at Houston
The Numbers Behind the Bears’ Domination of the Titans
In 2000, the Tennessee Titans pulled off the famous “Music City Miracle”. In 2012, the Bears stormed into Nashville and put on a performance that from this day forth should be known as the “Music City Massacre” (I’m trademarking this). If they hadn’t done so already, the Bear’s firmly placed their names amongst the NFC’s elite with their 51-20 shellacking of the … [Read more...] about The Numbers Behind the Bears’ Domination of the Titans
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

Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning
The Indianapolis Colts won't go 0-16. We know that much. The Colts' 27-13 victory against division rival Tennessee on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium -- Indy's first win of the 2011 season -- prevented the franchise from going down in NFL history with the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the 2008 Detroit Lions, the only two teams to ever finish a season without a win. But beyond … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Avoid Winless Season, Won’t Play Peyton Manning
