Gridiron Preview, Week 16
What a two week run for the Buffalo Bills. A 44 – 42 loss to the Rams and then a 48 – 42 win against the Lions has provided nothing but the most exciting games two weeks straight. But here’s the thing. Since week seven, the Bills haven’t scored less than thirty points in any… Read more

Gridiron Preview, Week 14
Here we are in week fourteen. We have the first teams getting double digit losses on the season. The first division title has been secured. Teams are keeping track of how many wins it will take to get in the playoffs. And that’s the part that makes the next couple of weeks very exciting. Read more

Gridiron Preview, Week 13
Well Thanksgiving is upon us and we have a plethora of football to watch this week. For this Holiday week, I’m changing things up just a bit. Instead of three columns (Hits and Misses, Tale of the Tape, and Gridiron Preview) I’m just going to do a brief recap here on the Preview. Next week… Read more

Tale of the Tape, Week 6
Lots of blowouts and road wins this week. My goal with this column has always been to try and explain the whys of a game and not just rehash the whats. But this week is going to be tough because it really boils down to the fact that a lot these games were a good… Read more

Davante Adams then asked for a trade. In week four, the Jets lost to the Denver Broncos. The coach blamed the quarterback’s cadence. The quarterback said the… Read more

Tale of the Tape, Week 5
Week five is in the books and what did we learn? Offenses are starting to come together and look pretty good. Without much preseason practice time, a lot of these teams needed a few weeks to get “game ready” with their timing and chemistry. The other thing we saw was a crazy number of defense/special… Read more

Tale of the Tape, Week 4
The biggest trend I saw in this week’s games was not about the x’s and o’s of the game. It wasn’t a new strategy or formation. It was the absolute littering of the field with yellow flags. It was awful this week. Just ask Al Michaels who made his opinion well known on Thursday night… Read more

Hits and Misses, Week 4
Week four is almost over. We have two games on tonight, and my picks are a respectable 9-5 so far this week and 38-24 over the season. We won’t discuss how my fantasy team is doing. That might be a season long miss. But before we get into the rest of the hits and misses,… Read more

Hits and Misses, Week 3
It’s a weird feeling watching the games live. You know I’m a fan of certain teams, but I’m also a fan of just plain old good football. If there’s two teams slugging it out and competing at a high level, I’m going to watch it no matter who the two teams are. And I like… Read more
