The trade deadline is coming Tuesday, and many teams have no idea where they stand. Minnesota won with JJ McCarthy back, but the 2nd-year QB still doesn’t look very good. Houston has an elite defense, but a concussion for QB CJ Stroud ruined their chance to claw back to .500. Atlanta thinks they’re a complete…
As with the coach-related page, I have made a centralized post for all 2025 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…
Apparently, this week was called “bye-mageddon”. I knew a bunch of teams were off this week, but the name was news to me. Even with fewer games on the schedule, I expected more competitive contests than what we saw. Only one matchup finished as a one-score game, and things got so out of hand that…
This week is brought to you by the number “3”! Numerous players scored 3 touchdowns, including the Rams’ Davante Adams, Indy’s Jonathan Taylor, and Cleveland’s Quinshon Judkins. Maybe those last two knew it was about to be the dawn of National RB Day. Green Bay’s Micah Parsons had 3 sacks, a career high for one…
Injuries are really taking their toll on the league. The NFC West got a lot more complex, with Rams WR Puka Nacua and 49ers LB Fred Warner hurting their ankles. Nacua may miss week 7, while Warner is done for the year. Baltimore’s lack of healthy bodies is dragging them to the depths of the…
We’ve reached our first byes of the season, so no Falcons, Packers, Steelers, or Bears this week. Even without them, we witnessed plenty of action. Baltimore and Cincinnati are watching their seasons slip away without QBs Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow, respectively. Two winless teams finally got on the board, while the last two 4-0…
Breaking news: winning games in the NFL is hard. Several teams just won for the first time this week, while multiple others that hadn’t lost to date fell. Two teams didn’t win or lose. Winning can also come in different styles. Kansas City crushed Baltimore with WR Xavier Worthy back stretching the field. Chicago won…
We’re starting to learn more about these teams. The Colts are a surprising 3-0, and they just punted for the very first time after a record 19 drives without doing so. However, they’ve benefitted from an easy schedule. The Giants are unsurprisingly 0-3 because of their brutal schedule. Denver could be 0-3 right now, but…
Saying that “a lot happened this week” would be an understatement. Mac Jones led the 49ers to a road win. Miami returned a punt for a TD but allowed a KR TD on the very next play in a loss to the Patriots. Grant Delpit and his Browns did indeed stuff Derrick Henry but got…
Week 1 always excites, which is why I need to provide an immediate disclaimer: please don’t overreact. You’ll see shock results and major conclusions drawn with the smallest of sample sizes. Unless they confirm what you already knew, they could be mirages. I’ll be touching on the Thursday night kickoff game, the special Friday night…
