Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! If you’re reading this, your level of holiday cheer may depend on what happened with your team. The good: the Seahawks, 49ers, Bears, Eagles, Jaguars, Patriots, Chargers, and Bills all clinched playoff berths. The bad: Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa got benched, and replacement Quinn Ewers was much worse. In more…
Just when we all started getting in the holiday spirit, things started happening and shook us. A team we have grown accustomed to seeing in February has been eliminated in December. Multiple stars went down with serious injuries. Normally elite K Brandon Aubrey missed not once, but TWICE. Fortunately, plenty of good things happened to…
One team’s misfortune can be another team’s triumph. Cincinnati and Buffalo played a thrilling shootout in the snow, but only the Bills have a realistic shot at the playoffs as a result. Chicago and Baltimore had agonizing finishes to their games, but Pittsburgh and Green Bay relished taking over first place in their respective divisions….
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Some fanbases are really thankful, like those of the league-leading Patriots. Others, such as fans of the Titans, are trying to find something to celebrate this holiday. Some miracles are also taking place. Chicago owns the #1 seed in the NFC, Carolina is above .500 13 games in, and the Chiefs are…
As always in the NFL, expect the unexpected. Who really had the Giants taking Detroit to OT? If I told you that Niners QB Brock Purdy threw 3 first-half INTs, you wouldn’t believe me if I told you that they on comfortably. But they did. Some things continued to reaffirm themselves. Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba…
Several things happened this week that would be odd in general but not in 2025. For instance, Chicago won yet another walk-off game to move to 7-3. QB Davis Mills led the Texans back to .500 with a second consecutive comeback. The Jaguars obliterated the Chargers after collapsing against those same Texans. As these teams…
As usual, the NFL brought us chaos and wild play in week 10. Jets’ DE Will McDonald had 4 sacks, and that didn’t even register because the team scored KR and PR touchdowns on consecutive touches. Saints’ QB Tyler Shough earned his first win in an upset of Carolina, throwing the draft order into disarray….
This is a centralized post for all coaching move-related grades (most recent first) now that 2025 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…
We just completed week 9, which means that we’re at the approximate halfway point of the 2025 campaign. That means it’s also trade deadline time! That has just passed, so as in prior years, it’s time to re-evaluate where everyone stands. Much change has taken place since week 1, and we’ve learned a great deal…
I’ll be keeping track of the various NFL trades that occur throughout 2025 on this page (most recent first). For every trade, I will list the assets each team received, analyze the trade, and provide trade grades for each team. Unless a specific trade is really notable, I’ll only be grading trades involving players, not…
