Let's face it. I'm not the only one with a knee-jerk reaction. And yes, it's only the first week of the season.
But give me a break. Hell, give Carolina a break.
Jon Fox hasn't had back-to-back winning seasons with the Panthers, and a solid reason why is Jake Delhomme. He's either hurt, or he's playing poorly.
Seriously, what good has he truly done since guiding Carolina to its only Super Bowl appearance?
Very ...
(Believe it, Philly faithful. Garcia is back in town.)
Eagles Lose Tackle Sean Andrews For SeasonStars are dropping like flies in week one, and the joke is getting old in Philadelphia. After already losing Stewart Bradley in the offseason and seeing Donovan McNabb go down on Sunday, the Eagles take a huge blow to their offensive line.Winston Justice is the likely candidate to step into the lineup, and if his pass ...
It's gut-check time for Buffalo, Miami, and New England. Sort of.
After Monday night is over, two of those teams will be walking into next week's slate of games at 0-1, and staring at the Jets and their seemingly unshakable rookie quarterback with a 1-0 record.
"Broadway" Joe ain't got nothin' on this kid Sanchez.
Except a Super Bowl ring, years of experience, and an alcohol addiction that could kill a Rhino.
But ...
(Unlike the top pick in the draft, Stafford, Mark Sanchez is all smiles.)
Even before Sunday's NFL action showed us just how ready rookies Mark Sanchez (he is) and Matthews Stafford (he's not) are, there were comparisons. To John Elway, to Peyton Manning, to Ryan Leaf.
Oh, and to that one guy, Dan Marino.The same thing happened for Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco last year, too. Both quarterbacks started their careers with ...
Week One of the NFL is always good for a high-scoring game or two (Saints), a nail-biter (Bears vs. Packers), and a slew of injuries.
If you're an owner of Matt Cassel, Kevin Walter, or Pierre Thomas, you were feeling the effects of an injury to your roster before the action started.
But if you played Donovan McNabb, Anthony Gonzalez, or are still worrying about Wes Welker, then stay tuned.
For a little ...
Richard Seymour to Report to Oakland
Despite reports suggesting he wouldn't be reporting to the Raiders, Seymour will be flying to Oakland to meet with his team and coaches, although he is not expected to suit up in Week One.
Seymour expressed the move of his family being more important than football, and simply was working through specifics of the move, both for himself and his family, rather than trying to avoid ...
Five Things We Learned about the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night
Posted: 11th September 2009 by kevin roberts in NFL
The final score was 13-10. It went into overtime.
A defensive slug-fest between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans? Not exactly a shocker.
The way it happened? Possibly so.
It was an ugly game in many respects, but actually ended up revealing several interesting facts about Steeler players and what 2009 may hold for them the rest of the way.Begin Slideshow
(Is the Madden Curse already hitting Troy Polamalu?)
Steelers Troy Polamalu Possibly Out With Sprained MCL
Coach Mike Tomlin wouldn't give a definite on the injury or how much time his star safety would miss, but it's not looking good.
This isn't good for Pittsburgh, though, as Polamalu was all over the field before the injury, while their pass defense saw a significant drop-off after he left the game.
With the possibility that ...
Hey, Brett Favre, It’s Okay If You Don’t Finish the Season
Posted: 10th September 2009 by kevin roberts in NFL
It's official. Brett Favre is human, and as much as you may despise him, he's apparently pretty honest, too.
He admitted he wasn't at the top of his game during the Jets' five-game slide to end 2008. But he also said he would have gladly hit the bench, and probably even for good.
He's even declaring 2009 as his "the streak may end" campaign, and regardless of your opinion on him as ...
