Things I Think Heading Into MNF

This game is so unpredictable that I find myself debating whether it really is unpredictable. There is an outstanding offense facing an outstanding defense. There is a great running game facing a weak run defense, but also an great pass rush facing a rookie quarterback and unproven line. Ball control,...

Great Defense Unfamiliar To Green Bay Offense

The research for this article started with the premise that the Green Bay Packers offense is irrepressible. Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback, and possibly best player, in the NFL. The wide receiver corps is stacked from top-to-bottom. Jermichael Finley is a tight end with rare talent. Anyone that has...

The Morning After: Seahawks Dominate Cowboys, 27-7

The ear-splitting screaming coming from the row behind me would not stop, “Go Cowboys! GO!” I could not agree more. Go Cowboys. Take your classless, obnoxious fans. Take your sniveling, whining defenders. Take your over-hyped, overconfident, out-manned, and thoroughly outplayed team. Take your pot-bellied “genius” defensive coordinator who was out-coached...

Comparing Seahawks to Giants

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys impressively beat down the New York Giants last week. They outclassed the Giants in the passing game, the running game, in pass defense and run defense. Beating the Super Bowl champs in their own house to open the season is quite a feat. There...

QuarterbacksThe Russell Wilson Chronicles

Wilson!!

One of the best parts of my recent trip to Arizona was the pre-game Seahawks bash at the Saddle Ranch Chop House. Seahawks fans dominated the place. I had the good fortune of being joined by some great Twelves, but JP Jeremiah may have stolen the show with his tribute to...
