NFL Season Preview: NFC North »
Green Bay should have an outstanding season. Rodgers has improved every year since he took over, and I expect him to continue to get better, if that’s possible. The Packers are one of the favorites to not only win the North, but also to make it to the Super Bowl.
NFL Season Preview: NFC East »
The teams I pick to win these Division Predictions are the teams I feel have a better chance of making the playoffs, not the teams I personally like. That’s why it hurts me to make this year’s NFC East prediction. This will be the first season in a long time I’m unable to pick Philadelphia as an outright winner, mainly because of the uncertainty of the Kolb era.
NFL Season Preview: AFC West »
This division still belongs to San Diego. The holdouts will hurt them, but not ruin their season. And that’s how the West was won.
NFL Season Preview: AFC South »
I’m really looking forward to see if the Texans can finally jump that hurdle to earn their first playoff appearance. The Colts, I believe, will once again have what it takes to make another deep playoff run. Maybe another game in February?
NFL Season Preview: AFC North »
I wanted to pick the Ravens to win the division, but their weak secondary will be a real problem with non-divisional opponents like the Patriots, the Texans, and the Saints. The Bengals have given Palmer some solid weapons to revamp the offense, and the defense will remain strong. Give Cincinnati their second straight AFC North Championship
How Will 18 NFL Games Affect Injury Management? »
The plan is this: take the last two preseason games (there are four total) and make them count. But tell that to the starters who usually played in only two preseason games anyway. Now they almost have to play in twenty straight weeks
NFL Season Preview: AFC East »
I see this division coming down to New England and New York. The Jets have a few weeks to get Darrelle Revis into camp. If so, the New York defense should be enough to win the AFC East.
Albert Haynesworth is an embarrassment »
Yes, I know Haynesworth is an extreme example of the attitude which permeates the 21st century American professional athlete. He walks arm in arm with entitlement. Plenty more athletes have this mindset. Of course, not many of them sign a $21 million contract and then decide to blow off OTAs like it was an invitation to a couples’ shower.
NFL Splinters | Super Bowl 2010 Edition »
The fact that Indy’s longest play from scrimmage was a run. Now that was a surprise. The Colts finished the regular season ranked dead last in rushing yards per game with at 80.9. In comparison, the Jets led the NFL with 172.2 yards per game.
NFL Splinters | February 1, 2010 »
Rex Ryan and an MMA event in Miami – nothing good can come from that. There is not a tent large enough to camouflage ol’ sexy Rexy. He’s got to know people are going to provoke him. And in that situation? There is no such thing as an instigator penalty.
