  • 3 fired, 2 others likely not back

    The Lions, Jets and Browns all fired their head coaches.  The Raiders are looking to interview Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.  The Rams have not made an announcement about their coach, but I’m guessing they’ll start popping up in interview news in the next few days. Wade Phillips is safe, not sure why…

  • Week 17 almot done… who is getting fired?

    So far Crennel/Savage are out.  Dallas might have a shakeup, same with the Jets.  Things don’t look for Herm in KC with a new boss coming in.  Rod Marinelli is bound to be gone after going 0-16 and having a new GM coming.  Haslett in St Louis may be a goner after not really doing…

  • Aaron Rodgers gets PAID

    The Packers have seen all they need to see from their new starting quarterback.  And going into the weekend, they decided to pull the trigger and make a deal that will keep Rodgers in Green Bay for the better part of his career.  Rodgers signed the deal Friday morning that makes him among the highest…

  • Can the Packers beat the Titans?

    The Titans do two things really well; they run the ball and play lights out defense.  That seems like trouble for the Packers as the offense is somewhat limited and they absolutely cannot stop the run. So what can the Packers do to go after the Titans?  Here’s some thoughts: On Offense: The Titans play…

  • Here Come the Colts!

    Today, we’re going to get a battle of two teams we just don’t know what to make of.  The Colts have struggled out of the gate, thanks to a bad run defense, patchwork offensive line and an injured Peyton Manning.  Last week, the Colts blew out the regular pretenders in the Baltimore Ravens and everyone…

  • No deadline deals – no surprise

    As expected, the trading deadline came and went with no moves for the Packers.  In fact, the Roy Williams trade is really the only one in the NFL worth noting. Somehow, the Packers got thrown in with the Tony Gonzales rumors… I don’t understand how that could possibly make sense.  The Packers could certainly benefit…

  • NFL Notes – Week 6

    Adam “Pacman” Jones is really on the verge of some major trouble.  The police recently confirmed he was involved in a fight at a Dallas hotel with his Cowboys assigned security guard.  No charges are being filed, no arrests were made.  Very close call for Jones.  He has to know that if his name goes on…

  • Packers: 2008 vs. 2007

    After 3 straight losses, many Packers fans may be saying “what’s wrong?”  This team almost made the Super Bowl last year.  I’m sure many people will blame Rodgers.  Well, more specifically, the fact that he is NOT Brett Favre.  If Favre came back, this was supposed to be a championship team, right?  Well, I don’t…

  • Few things to think about going into week 5

    I like the website www.footballoutsiders.com (no, they didn’t pay me to say that).  They have some neat stats.  Here’s a few random things I found by browsing their database tonight. The Colts are 5th worst in the league with their interception rate, throwing one on about every eight drives. 39% of Green Bay’s drives do…

  • Kiffin gone – Davis still nuts

    There’s two sides to every story and this case is no different.  There’s Al Davis’ side, and then the rest of the world. Seriously though, it’s not too hard to argue that there were some questionable things said by the Raiders’ boss man today.  All the public lies he referred to and the open desire…
