A few weeks ago on Monday night football, Drew Brees broke the all time passing yardage record. It was a pretty cool moment that brought Saints fans to tears (okay, well it was really just one guy, but still). I've always been a fan of Brees, and I feel like his greatness has often gone...

How the Detroit Lions were able to upset the New England Patriots
When the schedule first came out, it seemed logical to have a prime time game with New England taking on Detroit. However after the first two weeks the Lions were looking like a mess, and when you need a bounce back game, the Patriots aren't usually the team you'd want to go against. However one...

How the Miami Dolphins were able to use big plays to defeat the Oakland Raiders
If you were to have told me before Sunday that one of the craziest games of the week would be between the Raiders and the Dolphins, well... I probably would've believed you. I'm a pretty believing guy. But this game was in fact a wild one, so let's jump into it. Through the first couple... Continue Reading →
Putting Josh Rosen in with the game on the line might’ve cost Arizona their first win of the season.
This matchup was definitely not the game many analysts talked about this week. It was between two teams that really struggle moving the ball. Throughout the first 3 games of the season, Chicago is 7th worst in total yards per game, and Arizona is in dead last. But personally, I kind of like low scoring... Continue Reading →
How the Pittsburgh Steelers beat out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an offensive battle.
Ryan Fitzpatrick might be the most baffling quarterback in NFL history. I've never seen a guy in any sport be so consistently inconsistent. On one hand, he became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 400 yards in 3 straight games. On the other hand, he had an awful first half, as... Continue Reading →
How did the Buffalo Bills upset the Minnesota Vikings?
I honestly don't think I can remember a more perplexing game than this one. The Minnesota Vikings are thought of as one of the best teams in the NFL. If it wasn't for missed field goals by a kicker who's no longer on their team, they would be 2-0. On the other hand, many considered... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the offensive playcalling from Bears Vs Seahawks
Kind of crazy to think, just a couple of years ago the Seahawks were super bowl contenders, while the Bears were the laughing stock of the league. Now Chicago's coming off a game where they beat Seattle fairly dominantly. It just goes to show noting is fully consistent in the NFL, ... well except for... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the offensive playcalling from Cowboys Vs Giants 9/16
You've got to love the annual Giants verses Cowboys Sunday night game. It's one of the rare times when Cris Collinsworth can talk about the Odell Beckham catch without it seeming completely out of place. The game wasn't exactly an offensive explosion, however it did start with a boom. Dallas ran their first two plays... Continue Reading →
Analyzing the offensive playcalling from Chiefs Vs Steelers
If you like scoring, this was the game for you. These two teams racked up 778 total passing yards and 79 total points. If you don't like scoring, well I'm not really sure what to tell you. Football's probably not the right sport for you, I'd suggest watching soccer. Or maybe the Arizona Cardinals. The... Continue Reading →
