There were some very exciting, strange, and unpredictable outcomes to NFL games during Week Three of the regular season. A few of these were so unfathomable, in fact, that questions need to be raised as to what in the world actually happened. What were coaching thinking? What were some players doing? Were referees paying attention? Here’s a deep dive at the three biggest head-scratchers: Dallas Cowboys Losing to the Arizona Cardinals I think every other NFC team’s fan base is laughing, pointing, and mocking the Cowboys for dropping what should have been an “easy W” against the Cardinals. You can…

There are currently nine teams that are 2-0 this season in the NFL: Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins, and Baltimore Ravens. Keeping with the theme of “three”, here are three teams that I believe will NOT be undefeated after week three. Those teams are the Commanders, who are playing the Buffalo Bills, the Falcons, who are at the Detroit Lions, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are playing against the Eagles. But let’s focus on who WILL remain undefeated, and why. (As I mentioned above) The…

Week Two of the NFL Season is wrapped up and we are seeing some teams play way better than most people gave them credit for (Tampa Bay, Washington, maybe Miami), and a few teams that should be reading Football for Dummies. There were quite a few upset games this week with a few head-scratchers and disappointing losses. But who headlines this “Mount Rushmore of Disappointment”? Los Angeles Changers Before the 2023 NFL season began I had the Chargers winning their first two games, and three of four games before their Bye Week in week five. Obviously, that’s not going to…

The Minnesota Vikings played at the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football on September 14th. The Eagles won by a score of 34-28 to improve to 2-0 on the season, while the Vikings fell to 0-2 to start their NFL 2023 season. There was a lot of speculation (from others, not me) that the Vikings were going to win the NFC North again this year and make the playoffs. So, why are they 0-2 right now, what can they do to fix it, and what will likely happen over the next few weeks of the season for the Vikings?  Kirk…

Week one of the NFL Regular Season has wrapped up and there were a lot of outcomes that football fans didn’t expect. Some losses were disappointing (from the perspective of a fan of a particular team), but you had an inkling that there was always a chance that it could happen. For example, the 49ers going into Pittsburgh. I don’t think anyone would have thought the final score would be 30-7 and that San Fran would have 199 yards to the Steelers 1…but it was semi-predictable that the 49ers were going to win that game overall. Let’s analyze four of…

Oh, my goodness, what a great season opening game last night between the reigning Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs, and the (future NFC North Champs) Detroit Lions! Whether you’re a KC fan, a Detroit fan or just a football fan in general, I think you can appreciate a close game with a little bit of drama to bring in the first game of the year. The Lions were the kings of Arrowhead last night, beating the Chiefs by a score of 21-20. Here are some key take-aways from each team: Detroit Lions The Rookie Draft Class SHOWED UP! I…

Seven Take-Aways From the 2023 Hall of Fame Game QB "Battles" For the New York Jets, neither Zach Wilson nor Tim Boyle was overly impressive. They didn’t make any mistakes, but they also didn’t make any plays that would indicate that either one of them be challenging Rodgers this season. Chris Streveler on the other hand was downright terrible. He completed one for seven and threw an interception. It makes me wonder how the Jets gave him ANY playing time last year over Joe Flacco.For the Cleveland Browns, Dorian Thompson-Robinson (DTR) outplayed Kellen Mond, and, to me, it wasn’t even…
