Eleven years ago, the Patriots and Seahawks played in the Super Bowl. New England won after an infamous play call led to an INT. It took a while, but Seattle got their revenge. In expected fashion, their defense smothered the NE offense and made the game largely non-competitive. The better team won the game, and…
This is a centralized post for all coaching move-related grades (most recent first) now that 2026 has begun. Perfect way to celebrate Black Monday right? For those who aren’t aware, Black Monday is the Monday after the final week of the regular season. The teams that missed the playoffs decide whether to continue with the…
As with the coach-related page, I have made a centralized post for all 2026 GM move-related grades (most recent first) as well. Once again, these moves are typically made on or near Black Monday, the first Monday after the regular season concludes. Moves can occur midseason or after the draft, but these are rare and…
On this page, I’m going to be providing the free agent signing grades for the notable signings and extensions that occur in 2026 (most recent first) based on how good a deal the signing team obtained and the type of impact I expect the player to have. Please note that an offseason signing cannot be…
Coming off last week’s divisional round action, two Super Bowl berths were for the taking. Following two Sunday matchups, we’ve got our big game participants. (2) New England barely survived Denver despite a blizzard and the Broncos starting a backup QB. (1) Seattle outlasted the (5) Rams in a classic matchup that might just mean…
The NFL playoffs got underway last week, and in this round, we had the last 8 battling. Our two 1-seeds finally joined the party, with Denver and Seattle playing their first games of the postseason. Both one, but the Seahawks had a much easier time. All four games took place in outdoor stadiums, and two…
Now that we’ve said goodbye to more than half of the league’s teams, it was time for the remaining 14 squads to prove that they should advance in the playoffs. This week, 12 competed. Denver and Seattle earned the byes in their respective conferences, getting the week off. Mistakes are amplified in the postseason because…
We’ve made it to the end of the regular season, which means it’s time for my final power rankings! Eighteen teams said goodbye this week, though many of them knew the end was upon them weeks ago. Maybe even months ago for a select few. They’ll all have the draft and free agency to try…
During the final week of the regular season, some teams played for playoff spots or division titles. Some played for seeding. Others played for draft positioning. We saw less starters than usual this year with many teams only playing for minor potential seed changes (shockingly, the Rams did play starters). Individual players, even those on…
Happy New Year everyone! Just one more game remains for each team with week 17 complete, and we’ve already seen many teams clinch and several players set records. I thought we had all our takeaways neatly tied up heading into Sunday night, and then THAT game happened, so you get a rare 6th one this…
