If The Play-Offs Started Tomorrow…
Nov 9th
Just how surprised would we be with the teams there?
The AFC Would shape us as follows, ranked in descending order:
- Baltimore Ravens
- New York Jets
- Kansas City Chiefs
- Tennessee Titans
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- New England Patriots
There’s little doubt with the season just over halfway through that the AFC is generally stronger than the NFC and that list shows this very clearly. The Colts are also just a game away and can’t be ruled out either.
If there’s one team with a question mark there, it’s the Kansas City Chiefs. Although they’re atop the [relatively] weak AFC West, I’m not sure they can stay there all season. When you look at the teams they’ve played though, their schedule has worked strongly in their favour – they’ve played only one team of the twelve I have making the post-season here (the Colts) and they lost that. In this scenario, I think the Patriots would be more than happy to be heading to Kansas for Wildcard weekend.

Week 4: Seattle Seahawks @ St. Louis Rams
Sep 30th
Whichever way you look at it the Rams are a much-improved team this season. At the end of last season you might have written them off right away against the Seahawks, but as things stand now this could be one of the games of the week.

Week 2, 2010: St. Louis Rams @ Oakland Raiders
Sep 17th
This week I’ll be taking a look at the Oakland Raiders and their visit from the St. Louis Rams.
The Rams have been the whipping boys of the NFC West in the last few years, and have only managed 6 wins in the past three seasons and haven’t had a winning season since 2003. This is a far cry from the team that made the Super Bowl in 1999 and 2001.

Draft Day Is Here!
Apr 22nd
We’ve been pretty quite about the draft on here, but rest assured we’ve been discussing it at length. Although the Rams haven’t signed up Sam Bradford ready for tonight all of the smart money is on him and then – probably – Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy going 2nd and 3rd to address obvious needs at the Lions and Buccaneers respectively.
Damn, That’s One Sexy Redskin
Mar 17th
Sexy Rexy Redskin
Not much I can add beyond the headline really. With The Todd being released, we needed a good backup to Jason Campbell (assuming he’s the starter) and I suppose we could do worse…
SR has apparently signed a one year deal so Shanahan is keeping his options open. With the 4th pick at the upcoming Draft there’s a lot of people thinking that the Redskins will take a quarterback (Sam Bradford if available, or Jimmy Clausen). We watch with interest.

NFL Scouting Combine: Important Scouting Tool or Media Circus?
Feb 25th
The NFL combine is coming up this weekend in Indianapolis. Invited players will be measured, weighed and then run through a variety of drills and exercises, while NFL scouts and staff look on and take notes.
It’s worth noting that going into the combine, most teams already have their draft boards about 90% done. A big combine workout performance shouldn’t affect a player’s draft stock. This is a change from the past, mainly because there are a lot of workout wonders who just don’t make it in the NFL. Teams are starting to realise that if you base your draft decision on workouts that actually have little to do with playing football, you are dooming yourself to failure.
Longhorn Colt McCoy
Look at Vernon Gholston. A workout wonder at the combine, he was talked about possibly going first overall to the Miami Dolphins or second overall to the St.Louis Rams, but ended up going sixth to the NY Jets. In his first two years, Gholston has played 379 snaps and blitzed on 207 of those. Out of those 207 blitzes he has just 11 QB pressures and one QB hit, with no sacks. Effectively he is only getting pressure once every 18 or so times he rushes the QB. That’s just terrible, especially for such a high draft pick.
