Posted in Sick. That’s about the only way to describe Sunday’s somewhat stunning 18-12 setback to the Bengals Sunday at home that gives Cincy the clear path to winning the AFC North with a 7-2 record. The Steelers, who were held to four field goals on the day, fall to 6-3. It’s the first time since 1998 [...]

Week 10 Preview: Cincinnati at Pittsburgh
The way to approach this weekend’s epic struggle in Pittsburgh is to ask yourself: “Why won’t the Bengals win?” If your response consisted of: a) because they’re the Bengals, b) because it’s the Steelers, or c) because it’s a big game on the road, please leave now. Cincinnati has spent this season dispelling exactly that [...]
Cutler’s Wallet Lighter
NFL players complaining both during and after a game is fairly commonplace during the regular season. Getting fined by the league usually depends on the circumstances of the offense in question. Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler found out the hard way as the NFL fined him $20,000 for verbally abusing an official during Chicago’s 41-21 [...]
Tags: The Gridiron Gab’s First 2010 NFL Mock Draft
So I had a reader request that I take a stab at doing a 2010 mock draft. This is a fun exercise but, after reading it for little more than entertainment value, you can pretty much discard it as pure B.S. There are a few reasons for this. First, the 2009 season is only half [...]
The Gab’s Mid-Season Quarterback Rankings
A few days ago, I did an article on the top 12 Quarterbacks according to the ESPN. After I posted this critique, I found myself second guessing many of the picks. So I decided to come up with my own version of the top QB’s from the 1st half of the season. Obviously, the subject [...]
Week 10 Preview: Buffalo at Tennessee
The second half of the season begins on Sunday for the Bills in a place that still makes me cringe and twist in frustration: Tennessee. I really don’t need to mention anything more that the “T” word because, well, we know what kinds of emotions it evokes out of Bills fans worldwide. Buffalo returns to [...]
The Lions 09 Draft Class Brings Hope
Count me as one of the optimists that thought we would see significant improvement over last season’s debacle in terms of wins and losses. It’s obvious now that the Lions will not be a competitive team this year, but that four-letter word, hope, is crawling back into the picture. All hope for 2009 is lost, [...]
Site Editor Matt Loede’s NFL Picks for Week 10
Jacksonville at New York Jets (-7) Both teams need a win here, as they both still have dreams of playoffs in their heads. The Jags can’t pressure the QB, and the Jets need to get back to running the ball and Mark Sanchez needs to play well. Look for a close game with the Jets [...]
