With the kind of workload DeMarco Murray is carrying you have to worry about him breaking down, and probably sooner rather than later...
Thursday night blowouts
2 Oct
, 2014
The Thursday night games have been crappy this year. Blowout City.
The league started doing these Thursday night games in 2006. Since then, there have been 63 of them...
Alex Smith
2 Oct

Alex Smith plays against San Francisco for the first time on first time. They drafted him No. 1 overall, recall, and he took them to an NFC Championship game...
Jacksonville defense

When I was putting together the Pittsburgh preview for the Weekly, I noticed that Jacksonville’s defense has scored over 30 points in every game...
Aaron Dobson / Patriots drafted wide receivers
30 Sep
, 2014
Aaron Dobson was a healthy scratch for the second week in a row last night. An intriguing sleeper in the offseason now looks an awful lot like a bust...
Fizzling Patriots
30 Sep

The Patriots looked pretty crappy on Monday night. Lousy offensive line, and the pass catchers aren’t good enough...
Bucs reverse fortunes

Steve Smith vs. Carolina
25 Sep
, 2014
Show of hands: Who believes in the “payback” dimension of a team playing against his former team? It seemed to work last week, when DeSean Jackson played through a shoulder injury and had a big gam...
Blake Bortles
23 Sep
, 2014
The Jaguars are going with Blake Bortles at quarterback. It’s early, but I like his ability to get the ball downfield.
With most young quarterbacks, they’re kind of playing scared...
Kickers on fire

As I look at the team-by-team numbers, the kicker totals seem high. Right now, 14 teams are on pace to finish the season with at least 133 kicking points...
Divisional series

Certain teams seem to have other teams’ number. The Giants, for example, always put up good numbers against Dallas...
Devin Hester
19 Sep
, 2014
I guess there’s some discussion of whether Devin Hester belongs in the Hall of Fame. He’s scored 20 touchdowns on returns, an all-time record.
I got the numbers out...
Thursday Night Games
17 Sep
, 2014
Are Thursday games lower scoring? Should we all be looking to avoid using players in these early games when a similar alternative is available on Sunday?
I don’t think so.
The issue, I think, is ...
Peyton Manning
16 Sep
, 2014
Do you bench Peyton Manning this week? He’s a great quarterback, but it’s not easy putting up big numbers at Seattle.
Since the start of the 2012, the Seahawks have played seven top-level quarterb...
