Where do we begin talking about the NFC North this week? What’s left of the Chicago Bears, or what Adrian Peterson is doing to people?
Some of my predictions from last week looked good.
For Minnesota-Cleveland, my Green Light picks were Peterson, the MIN DEF, and Joshua Cribbs. All three had ...

What a wild week for the AFC North! Other divisions might have had some ups and downs, but none like this star-crossed division.
The Steelers opened the season by winning an exciting game against the Titans that cost them Troy Polamalu. The Browns forgot that it takes four or five ...
Philadelphia Eagles: Does Garcia Signing Mean McNabb’s Injury Is Serious?
Posted: 15th September 2009 by TAB BAMFORD in NFL
Preface: Feel free to tell me after you read this article if I'm reading too much into what's going on with the roster of the Philadelphia Eagles.
This summer, the Philadelphia Eagles made a number of strong statements. One was allowing defensive captain Brian Dawkins to leave as a free agent for Denver. The other was taking a big chance by signing Michael Vick.
Vick was brought into Philadelphia to not only ...
According to Chicago media outlets, Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher will have season-ending surgery Monday morning on a dislocated wrist that kept him out of the second half of Sunday night's season opener.
Urlacher had three tackles in the first half.
Everything coming from Bears camp this summer was that Urlacher was finally fully healthy after two years of back and neck issues. This, however, devastates the Bears defense.Read more NFL news on BleacherReport.com
Jeff Garcia to Replace Jake Delhomme: Heady Prediction or Knee-Jerk Reaction?
Posted: 14th September 2009 by TAB BAMFORD in NFL
Until Jay Cutler didn't show up in prime time, the No. 1 goat from Week One of the NFL season was Carolina signal caller Jake Delhomme.
Delhomme, against a good Philadelphia defense, looked miserably bad. His timing was bad, but his decision making was worse. In all, he ended the day with five turnovers (four picks and one fumble lost).
In fact, he was replaced twice in the game.
So where do the ...
Frustration knows no depths like those in Chicago these days.
I already reacted to the first half. This piece is my reaction to the full body of work produced by the Chicago Bears in Green Bay Sunday night.
After the Cubs and White Sox have spent all summer making us drink, we get Sunday night. There's "close but no cigar," and then there's the Bears driving people to pick up chain smoking.
Are ...
Last year, the Chicago Bears had a quarterback in Kyle Orton who had questionable arm strength. They had limited ability with their receivers to stretch the field, and refused to commit to Greg Olsen as a receiving threat at tight end.
So what did the Bears do? They traded Orton to Denver for big-armed quarterback Jay Cutler.
The key returning member of the Bears offense in 2009 is running back Matt Forte. ...
Minnesota Vikings’ Strong Start: Favre a Non-Factor, Peterson Dominant
Posted: 13th September 2009 by TAB BAMFORD in NFL
On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings executed the game plan they will use all season to help them to be successful in 2009.
Brett Favre was 14-21 for 110 total yards, with a touchdown pass to electric rookie receiver Percy Harvin. Even without an effective Bernard Berrian, Favre still got five players involved in the passing game, with Harvin being the lead recipient (three catches, 36 yards).
With Jim Brown in attendance, Adrian ...
Quarterback Donovan McNabb left the game on Sunday after taking a shot to his lower back while rushing for a touchdown. After the game, the Eagles told the media he had broken ribs on the play.
His status moving forward has not yet been determined.
With the Eagles scoring a resounding victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, McNabb was able to miss time without much of an impact, but the idea ...

In his first game without Marvin Harrison’s shadow hanging around the turf at Lucas Oil Arena in Indianapolis, Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne showed that he’s among fantasy football’s elite.
Against a Jacksonville team that allowed 224 passing yards per game in 2008, Wayne jumped into double-digit receptions early in ...
