Matt Loede 
Posted in If the Arizona Cardinals are going to repeat as NFC Champs, they are going to have to not allow themselves to fall into performances like Monday night in San Francisco. The Cards, who a week ago looked like world beaters in beating the Vikings at home, were beaten badly by the Niners 24-9. Arizona falls [...]

Lots of Agony with the Lions Sunday
Well that was awful. I don’t know what fared worse in Sunday’s massacre at the hands of the Ravens: Jim Schwartz’s stomach lining or Daunte Culpepper’s future job prospects. It’s the kind of game where once things started going wrong, the avalanche was not to be averted. The tipping point was a long touchdown reception [...]
Giants Can’t Overcome Eagles in Wild 45-38 Loss
Let me tell you something — this was a great game to watch. And aside from the Giants losing by a touchdown I think it was clear the Giants had a real chance to win that game tonight. Turnovers were costly. Special Teams coverage – or lack thereof – costly. Defensive Secondary – costly. Receivers [...]
Abandon Ship! Bucs Pounded by Jets 26-3
Josh Freeman and the offense have now taken one step forward and two steps back as they fall victim to the 2nd ranked NY Jet defense, 26-3. Rex Ryan did what your suppose to do when you play rookie QB’s and absolutely terrorized Freeman by dialing up blitzes all day. Ryan’s defense finished with 3 [...]
Ravens Stay Alive in the AFC Playoff Race; Destroy Lions 48-3
The cold, miserable conditions seemed to be the perfect tonic for the Ravens offense. Ray Rice ran for a career high 166 yards and a touchdown to help power Baltimore to a 48-3 thrashing of the Detroit Lions. The die hard fans who turned out for this one saw a day for the record books [...]
Saints Stay Undefeated; Survive Falcons Scare 26-23
No Matt Ryan? No Michael Turner for the Falcons? No problem for the Saints, right? The Falcons gave the Saints all they could handle in a thrilling 26-23 game that was not decided until the final seconds. Saints LB Jonathan Vilma made two key defensive plays to seal the win, including a huge tackle on [...]
Johnson’s Three Scores Help Titans Destroy Rams 47-7, Young Hurt
The Tennessee Titans, on their win-loss record alone, are a better team with quarterback Vince Young behind center. Without Young? Apparently not so much. As the Titans and St. Louis Rams battled for 60 minutes at LP Field, Young would play but injure himself midway through the second quarter and would not return. Fortunately for [...]
Tags: Jones Scores Twice, Jets Squash Buccaneers 26-3
It can be easily said and assumed that during the New York Jets-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on Sunday, offense would come at a premium as the Jets and Buccaneers combined for a total of 434 yards of total offense, which is, for a better choice of words, totally offensive. Nonetheless, the Jets did a good [...]
