Ever since the playoff field was expanded to include an additional team in each conference, people have been asking, when will one division send all four teams to the playoffs? It's a challenging feat, considering the four teams have 17 chances to win a game, and six of those come against each other, but not... Continue Reading →
I'm not one of those guys who believes in draft grades. It'll take two, maybe three years to really see who won or lost this draft. There are quarterbacks to develop, running backs to scheme, and edge rushers who need to prove they can get past superior blockers to harass quarterbacks. It will take time... Continue Reading →
It's impossible to escape the Lamar Jackson drama this off-season. One of the most electric players in the NFL, there are logical arguments for and against the Baltimore Ravens giving him a long-term, fully guaranteed contract, but while neither side refuses to budge, we're experiencing the most recent example of a franchise tag completely failing...

Last off-season, when people were still optimistic about the Raiders, it was the trio of Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow, and Darren Waller that... Continue Reading →
This off-season looks to be absolutely fascinating on the quarterback carousel. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, Derek Carr, and Jimmy Garoppolo look to be old faces in new places while Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, Will Levis, and Anthony Richardson hope to be selected in the top ten. About half the league seems to need... Continue Reading →
It's ironic that Allegiant Stadium has been nicknamed the "Death Star," because so many in Raider Nation only deal in absolutes. For fans decked out in silver and black, many in this passionate fanbase struggle with shades of grey. You are either the best thing since sliced bread or absolute gutter trash and there is...

A couple days ago, I tweeted (@Mart_M24, by the way, and thanks for the follow in advance) that as the NFL's regular season winds down, I can feel the 2023 draft season pulling me out of my football slumber. Truth is that thanks to the whole Deshaun Watson business, I've never felt so detached from... Continue Reading →
