NFL Week Four: Do or Die Time for Brett Favre and the New York Jets

The NFL Picks Column: Cowboys, Packers Battle for NFC Supremacy
Interesting thing when looking at this week’s slate: All of the home teams are favored to win, except for the Green Bay Packers, who happen to be playing the best team in the NFL...
-
NFL Week Three: Cowboys-Packers, Steelers-Eagles, Saints-Broncos, and More!
Week Two might have been the most exciting week of games the NFL has seen in a long, long time. We had huge comebacks, high-scoring games, a game winning two-point conversion, and perhaps the best offensive football game I’ve seen in years...

NFL Week Two: Can the Chargers, Colts, and Patriots Bounce Back?
Will the AFC favorites bounce back? The favorites took a beating last week. The Patriots, as we all know, lost their starting quarterback. This week, they face the New York Jets in Brett Favre’s regular-season home debut...
-
NFL Power 10: Buffalo Bills Make Their Debut, NFC East Represents
I’ve almost recovered from the knee-shot heard ‘round the world. I’ve accepted the fact that the Patriots are no longer the best team in the NFL, or even the team to beat in their own division (more on this later)...

Tom Brady's Injury Could Mean an Early End to the Patriots' Season

NFL Season Preview: Patriots, Saints To Meet in Super Bowl XLIII
There’s no need to ask—we are more than ready for some football. As a matter of fact, I’ve had the Monday Night Football theme song stuck in my head for seventy-two straight hours...
-
Washington Redskins Preview: Someone Has To Finish Last in the NFC East
True story from last year. I was in a big-money fantasy football league. The league made the mistake of having its Super Bowl in Week 17. I was lucky enough to make the Super Bowl. Now, nobody plays in Week 17 (unless you play for the Giants)...

-
Arizona Cardinals Preview: Maybe It's Just Too Hot for Good Football in Arizona?
We all want to root for the Cardinals to succeed. We really do. But they’re just so bad at it. The NFC West borders on pathetic. Why the Cardinals haven’t been able to put it together enough to win that division is mind-boggling...
-
Philadelphia Eagles Preview: Theeeeeeey're Baaaaacck!
The Eagles somehow found themselves at the bottom of the NFC East last season. But don’t let that fool you into thinking they’re not a good team. They fell into a situation very similar to the Houston Texans...
-
Houston Texans Preview: It Really Stinks Being Stuck in the AFC South
It amazes me that people talk about the NFC East as the best division in football. The Colts and Jags would both run away with the NFC East. The Titans would be the second-best team behind the Cowboys...
-
Carolina Panthers Preview: Reason for Optimism Amongst Panther Fans?
I understand the optimism amongst Panther fans. They get to play Atlanta twice, which is a gift any team would gladly accept. They also get Kansas City at home, Chicago at home, Arizona at home, Oakland on the road, Detroit at home, and Denver at home..

I remember the Baltimore Stallions. The CFL tried to push their way south of the border and actually had some success...

Cincinnati Bengals Preview: You Can't Build a Winner Without Chemistry
The Bengals are, to put it mildly, an absolute mess. I have no doubt that Marvin Lewis is going to make a great head coach one day. The problem is, he has absolutely no idea how to fill out a professional roster...
-
Denver Broncos Preview: Shanahan, Broncos Continue Decade Of Mediocrity
Yes, I understand that Mike Shanahan won two Super Bowls in Denver. I understand that before last year, he hadn’t had a losing record since 1999...

New Orleans Saints Preview: Defense? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Defense!
I had to go back to the Daily Sports Report archives (which is hard, because the original site doesn’t exist anymore and was pretty much wiped off the face of the Internet), but ...

Detroit Lions Preview: Thank God Mike Martz Is Gone
Before I get into the 2008 Detroit Lions, I need to go on a little rant that’s vaguely Detroit-Lions related. Mike Martz is not a great offensive coordinator. He’s not an innovative offensive mind...
