Posted in As if the Chicago Bears have enough problems – and it’s only Week 1! – it looks like their linebacking corps has taken a major hit as Adam Schefter is reporting that star linebacker Brian Urlacher will not play again this season due to a dislocated wrist. According to unnamed sources, Urlacher will undergo surgery [...]

Here’s to a Long 17 Weeks for Browns Fans
Eleven season openers since the Browns have been back in the league, one victory. Oh, the glory days of a week 1 win. The 2004 season opener was one where we Cleveland fans didn’t have to go buy new remotes the next day because we snapped ours in two. I remember it like it was [...]
Lions Monday Morning After Thoughts: Week 1
Good morning…..or I guess not, since the Lions just dropped their 18 consecutive loss yesterday after losing to the Saints 45-27. Then again….I thought signs of great change were pretty evident in the game, the most significant of which was the attitude exuded by the players. Many times the defense looked more resilient and confident. [...]
Redskins Offense Again Has Major Issues with Rival Giants
The opener for the Redskins was once again a cruel reminder that the New York Giants seem to simply have the Skins number. They seem to have a better gameplan, play more physical, and make less mistakes. Sunday it was the “same old song” as Four Tops put it, as the Skins were unable to [...]
Is it Time for Carolina to Think of a Backup Plan for Delhomme at QB?
It was just like last January all over again for the Panthers fans at Bank of America Stadium.

The storyline [...]
Hill 4th Quarter TD Drive Helps 49ers Edge Cardinals 20-16
The Arizona Cardinals, before their Sunday tilt against the visiting San Francisco 49ers, unfurled their NFC championship banner; unfortunately for them, it was the only thing they could show with pride as 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill guided his team on an 80-yard drive midway through the fourth quarter, enough for San Francisco to squeak past [...]
Giants Kick Off Season Holding Off Washington 23-17
In the end, the critics had it all wrong. The Giants receivers were tremendously impressive, catching 20 balls for 256 yards in a 23-17 win over the Redskins. They got open, held onto the ball, and showed that they are a good group of players. Mario Manningham is asserting himself as a potential number one [...]
Falcons Open Season w/ Impressive 19-7 Win Over Dolphins
Turnovers and costly penalties derailed any hopes of the Dolphins knocking off the Falcons in their season opener. The Dolphins defense played well enough to give the team a chance, but they had no answer for tight end Tony Gonzalez, and couldn’t come up with enough key stops on third and long. For Atlanta, the [...]
