One Hell Of A Week

One Hell Of A Week

A 35-point beatdown at the hands of the Denver Broncos (3-4). The subsequent firing of offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. A trade demand, then retraction, by 7-time Pro Bowler, Patrick Peterson. It’s safe to say it’s been one hell of a week for the desert Red Birds.

“We will kick their ass”, Von Miller said repeatedly during his media session leading up to last weeks Thursday night game against…

Broncos Battle Chiefs

  It feels like an eternity since the Broncos locked up their third win of the season in Arizona, a 45-10 thrashing last Thursday night. They were able to enjoy a comfortable weekend and coach Vance Joseph was able to avoid any awkward questions.

Well, until Tuesday morning anyway. It wouldn’t be the Broncos if it was smooth sailing between games. Instead, the players held their annual Halloween…

Bucs Win in Overtime

What a difference a week makes. After being embarrassed 2 weeks ago defensively by the Atlanta Falcons, the Tampa Bay defense breaks a three game losing streak and came up big in a 26-23 win in overtime against the Cleveland Browns. Tampa Bay’s defense behind new defensive coordinator Mark Duffner looked faster, more aggressive, and played with a spark that I have not…

After another embarrassing performance on defense, allowing 416 total yards of offense in a 34-29 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Buccaneers have fired defensive coordinator Mike Smith. The team will replace Smith with linebackers coach Mark Duffner. This was a much needed change for a historically bad defense through the first six weeks of the season, Smith’s defense…

Is Panthers' D-Line To Blame For Shoddy Run Defense?

Is Panthers’ D-Line To Blame For Shoddy Run Defense?

It seems like every year, the Panthers have one of these games. Last year it was the game at Chicago, in similarly dreary weather, where the Panthers looked like the better team, but just found a way to lose.  Sunday’s game at Washington was frustrating from a fan’s standpoint, not just because it was a game that the Panthers should have won, but also because it will help drive false narratives…

Sean McDermott's Head Coaching Tenure Is Becoming Worrisome

Sean McDermott’s Head Coaching Tenure Is Becoming Worrisome

Having coaches and personnel in charge of the Buffalo Bills that make troublesome decisions is nothing new for Bills fans. As a matter of fact, since the days of Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and Marv Levy have ended, there has been nothing but a clown car filled with inept coaches and management types who have driven the Bills from perennial AFC contenders to perennial AFC laughing stocks.

So it…

Good: Blake Griffin
