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…
In a not-so-anticipated rematch of the Super Bowl that took place between these teams two years ago, the result was wildly different. If you were a neutral observer, you didn’t witness the best game, but there was still history to make. Kansas City reached the final game on their quest for a threepeat…and came up…
It seems as though everyone is posting mock drafts this week, so I figured that I should follow suit. These are just fun exercises at this point because we know nothing about trades or how teams feel about individual prospects. We’re merely giving our best current guesses based on team needs and perceived fit. Last…
Coming off last week’s divisional round action, the Super Bowl was anyone’s for the taking. Following two Sunday matchups, we’ve got out big game participants. Both games had mild weather for this time of year. (1) Kansas City edged out (2) Buffalo to keep their threepeat quest alive. Over in the NFC, (2) Philadelphia demolished…
This is it. Everything that the 134 FBS teams have gone through has culminated in this moment. Just two teams remained: (8) Ohio State and (7) Notre Dame. The former is a juggernaut that obliterated their first 3 CFP opponents. The other is a gritty squad that fights through adversity like no other. So who…
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 Kansas City and Detroit playing their first games of the postseason. Neither had a simple game, but only one of them managed to win. Two themes defined this round: weather…
Now that we’ve said goodbye to more than half of the league’s teams, it’s time for the remaining 14 to prove that they should advance in the playoffs. This week, 12 are competing. Kansas City and San Detroit earned the byes in their respective conferences, getting the week off. Mistakes are amplified in the postseason…
In our 3rd round of the CFP, seeds 5-8 battled for the right to compete for the big trophy. Notre Dame squeaked by Penn State at the Orange Bowl, while Ohio State took on Texas and won soundly at the Cotton Bowl. We had no blowouts though, which was refreshing. The winners play in the…
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. Finally, teams like the Chiefs, Bills and Texans, whose seeds were already secure, played almost no starters (at least not for very long) for their protection. Individual players, even…
