Week 11, 2010: Washington Redskins @ Tennessee Titans
Nov 18th
If there was ever a time to be thankful for a short week, coming off a Monday Night spanking is surely the time. The Redskins were outclassed in every phase of pretty much every play as the Eagles came to FedEx Field and put up a whole bunch of records on the way to delivering a divisional smackdown.
The Redskins will be thankful to leave town and head to Nashville to face the Tennessess Titans, where they might be able to escape some of the boos and jeering.

MNF – Week 6, 2010: Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Oct 14th
We could all be in for a good, entertaining game this Monday night where AFC South rivals the Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars go head to head. Both teams are sitting at 3-2 and are having great seasons rushing (both offensively and defensively), and lacklustre seasons in passing (again, both offensively and defensively). It has the potential to be a great battle.

NFL International Series 2010: Wembley Watch – 4 Weeks To Go
Oct 3rd
We’re in October now! The NFL’s International Series 2010 Wembley game is getting closer and closer and in four weeks time (to the hour) it’ll all be done and we’ll be heading home. (Actually, we’ll probably be at The Green Man or some other nearby bar). Both teams were on early today, and with neither game blacked-out here in the UK I watched a half each of the games. How did they shape up?
Denver Broncos
I watched the second half of this game.
My fantasy match-up this week had me as 15 point dogs but with Chris Johnson on my opponent’s team projected to make 23 points. That always sounded high, but come half-time I was expecting to find out that he was injured due to the relatively small number of yards he’d put up. Like most viewers, I spent most of the second half just waiting for him to bust one out, but it never happened as the Broncos defence had him locked down.

First look 2010… AFC South
Jul 14th
Two divisions left to go, both in the AFC. The West, but first let’s take a look at the South. Things didn’t happen in quite the way they were predicted last season. Judging by the number of Colts and Titans shirts we saw at Wembley last year, UK NFL fans would love to see some of these teams in London soon. But they’ll probably just have to hope for serious post-season runs for now…
First Look 2010… NFC West
May 28th
This is another division where I didn’t cover myself in glory. By my own admission it was the one that I struggled with most, but my call of Seattle and Arizona as a wildcard. The Seahawks were appalling, and the 49ers finished strongly to take second but were way short of the playoffs.
Graham did well though, calling the Cards as divisional winners and 49ers as runners up but missing the playoffs. Nice work.
What will happen this year?
Chris Johnson will be league MVP… so says Chris Johnson
Jan 15th
A topic from the archive.
15th January, 2010 — As we thought, way back when, Chris Johnson’s prospect of being League MVP were likely to be hampered by Quarterbacks getting the nod, and this was completely the case when the votes were counted and CJ had none.
However, he’s made up for it by being the only unanimous 2009 All-Pro selection. So well done to Chris Johnson. He had a great season; was entertaining to watch and his race to set records was enthralling to the end. As one of only 6 2,000 yard players, we’ll be hoping he can keep his form going. Something that eluded a lot of the others. But he’s young and he’s talented. If he hit 2000 yards next year, who’d be surprised if he didn’t get the MVP?
Good luck to him.

Results, Week 1
Sep 15th
Thursday, 10th September
Tennesse @ Pittsburgh, 10-13
This was a tight, tight game and the Titans can walk out of Heinz Field with their heads held high. Well, maybe apart from Rob Bironas. Chris Johnson lit it up a couple of times, as did the Ben/Santonio connection. But the real stars were both defensive units, certainly against the run.
Anyway, we both called this one correctly.
Sunday, 13th September
Jacksonville @ Indiana, 12-14
Well, we thought that this would be a close game and so it proved! Jones-Drew looked good as the focal point of the Jags attack, and the Colts did enough but will need to show us more if we’re going to believe in them this year.
Detroit @ New Orleans, 27-45
Drew Brees put on another passing clinic, completing 6 TD passes to 5 receivers. Matt Stafford wasn’t quite as impressive, but did get the Lions moving when the running game was shut down. On the plus side, the Lions did put up 27 points which is more than in any game last year. There were signs, but there’s still work to do.
Favourite Four: Running Backs #4 – LenDale White
Aug 26th
Continuing with our Favourite Four series, currently on running backs, we look at the last player on our list at this position.
We reiterate that these are some of our favourite players. We can’t vouch that these will be the best players in absolute terms, have the biggest fantasy football upside or even be any good (though they might be)… but they’re players that we like to watch.
LenDale White of the Tennessee Titans gets the nod this time.
Second Look… AFC South
Aug 3rd
In my First Look at the AFC South I called it one of the toughest to call. And it still looks like that today.
I’ve not made many adjustments to my predictions elsewhere so far. Let’s see if there’s any changes here.

First Look… AFC South
Jun 3rd
So many of the divisions seem to have me saying “this is a tough one to call”… and the AFC South is the same again. The Colts took five successfive titles until last year’s impressive Titans‘ run but the Jaguars have made their mark in recent years too.
