Now for the moment that I’ve all been waiting for. No, that’s not a type-o. I’ve been salivating to write about the Chicago Bears and their current situation through eight other teams now. The Bears finished the 2023-24 season as the ninth worst team (due to tiebreakers) with a record of 7-10, and SHOULD have their first draft pick selection at number nine. However, due to a cunning trade last year with the Carolina Panther (who proceeded to fumble their near future away by giving up their first round pick this year along with Wide Receiver DJ Moore, and THEN…

Continuing on moving our way from “worst to first”, we come to our first 7-10 team from 2023-24 NFL season, The Atlanta Falcons! Atlanta finished as the eighth worst team in the NFL despite three other teams finishing with the same record as them, because the Falcons literally had the easiest “strength of schedule” in the NFL last season. Their opponents had a whopping .429 winning percentage, yet the Falcons were only able to put together seven wins. Maybe it’s because they drafted a running back (Bijan Robinson) in the first round of the draft last year when they already…

The Tennessee Titans were the best 6-11 team in the NFL in 2023-24. No, it’s not really a compliment. I’m just not sure if they’re going to be able to even say that next year. With all due respect, I don’t think the Titans have hit rock-bottom yet. They fired a very good and well-respected Head Coach in Mike Vrabel, and brought in Brian Callahan (no relation to Tommy Callahan or the Callahan Auto Parts Co.), who was previously the Offensive Coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals (who finished last in the AFC North last year). Callahan’s only real “claim to…

The New York Giants finished the 2023-24 season with a record of 6-11. Out of the seven NFL teams that finished with a record of 6-11 or WORSE, they are one of only of two teams to NOT fire their Head Coach. That’s good news for the Giants Head Coach Brian Daboll, of course. He hopes to rebuild on the success that they had in 2022-23 when they beat the Minnesota Vikings in the playoffs and put this last season far behind in his rear-view mirror. Even though I thought the Giants were one of the biggest train wrecks of…

The San Diego…sorry, LOS ANGELES Chargers finished the 2023-2024 NFL season at 5-12 for the “honor” of being the fifth worst team in the league. They are also one of four teams that finish in the bottom five worst records to make a Head Coach change by hiring former Michigan Wolverines (and former San Francisco 49ers) Head Coach, Jim Harbaugh. Kudos to the Chargers for getting the BEST “free agent” HC on the market. This was such a perfect hiring for the Chargers organization to make in order to get the best out of their young Quarterback, Justin Herbert. Harbaugh…

The Arizona Cardinals finished the 2023-24 season as the best 4-13 team in the league! Congratulations! You now have the fourth pick in the NFL draft. To be fair, the Cardinals were without their starting quarterback, Kyler Murry for half of the season, AND they were tied with the New England Patriots for the ninth most difficult schedule. They can also give themselves a ribbon (like a home-made “participation” type ribbon) that says that they beat three playoff teams last year by defeating the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Who cares if none of those teams made it…

The New England Patriots finished the 2023-24 season with the same record (4-13) as the Washington Commanders and the Arizona Cardinals. Due to tiebreakers, they have been deemed as the third worst team in the NFL and will have the third pick in this April’s NFL Draft. Along with the Cardinals, the Patriots were tied with the 9th hardest schedule in the ’23-’24 season, and they actually outscored their opponents, 151-138, which is something of a "silver lining". As mentioned in my article about the Commanders Free Agents, the Patriots were one of only four teams to not have a…

Moving on to the team that had the second worst record of the 2023-24 season; the Washington Commanders, who finished 4-13 and lost the last eight games of the season. To add salt to the wound, the Commanders won only one game at home this last year, giving their fans just about nothing to cheer for. Washing has about two dozen players going into free agency in 2024, and not a single one of them is a Pro-Bowler this year. In fact, NONE of the Commanders players made the Pro Bowl this year. They are in a very “elite” group…

It’s that time of the year again when NFL GM’s and coaches start to look at their team rosters for the next season. They will look at who their free agents are going to be and debate on potential re-signings and determine who it is that they would like to have back for the future. For me, I get to take off my “fan hat” and put on my “GM…suit (?)” and give my two cents to all these big shots making big bucks and let them know what I would do if I were in their big, leather desk…

Welcome to Week Six in the NFL! This last Sunday we saw the only two undefeated teams (San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles) LOSE to two teams that really had no business even keeping those games close. The 49ers lost to the 2-2 PJ Walked-led Cleveland Browns, who were without DeShawn Watson, Nick Chubb, and others. The Eagles lost to the New York Jets, who had a record of 2-3 coming into the game and were led by Zach Wilson. WILSOOON! Philly was 12-0 against the Jets in their lifetime matchups against the Jets. Tonight, we get to watch two…
