Week 17 Preview: Tennessee at Seattle

“I want them to go out and play with passion and energy and execute.” Could those words, spoken by head coach Jim Mora Jr. at Wednesday’s press conference, be the wake up call, the thing that starts the next decade of Seahawks football on the right foot? Last weekend the Seahawks (5-10) didn’t shoot themselves in the foot, they mutilated themselves.  Quarterback [read more...]

Week 16 Preview: Seattle at Green Bay

After two games resulting in losses and headaches, Seattle heads to Green Bay this weekend to take on a Packers team that has had its share of frustration recently as well. Last week, Green Bay lost 37-36 to the Pittsburgh Steelers on the last play of the game.  Ben Roethlisberger hit a diving Mike Wallace along the left side of the [read more...]

Seahawks Rookie Receiver Gets his Chance to Prove his Worth

A costly injury for Seattle could be a golden opportunity. During training camp and the preseason I sung the praises of Deon Butler, the rookie wide receiver out of Penn State.  Buried on the depth chart, Butler hasn’t put up big-time numbers this season, but he could get his chance to start turning heads now that he’s the team’s third receiver. Butler [read more...]

Ground Hog’s Day All Over Again for the Packers

Well, that’s what it seemed to me like…I walked outside after the game…a Full Moon!…walked back inside, and JoAnn was cooking the same meal from the Monday night game, four weeks earlier…I blinked…Halloween was the night before. I dressed-up as the “Crypt Keeper” and scared the heck out of many young children… But, let’s face it…on Sunday at Lambeau Field, Brett [read more...]

Favre Foils the Packers Again; Vikings 7-1 After 38-26 Win

They booed him, they yelled at him, they treated him like an evil villain from a bad Halloween slasher flick. He was Brett Favre, and once again, he got one over on his old team. Favre entered Lambeau Field on Sunday as the visitor, and walked out a hero to those that love purple, all at the expense [read more...]

Lambeau Field Still a Nightmare for the Lions

Ouch. The Lions marched into Green Bay this weekend and were carried off on their shields. This ranks as one of the more painful losses of the season, and marks the first time the Lions have been shutout since 2001. There is not much good to say about the game. The special teams were a disaster [read more...]

Lions Do Little Right in 26-0 Shutout Loss to Green Bay

The Lions put up quite a fight last week against the Steelers at home, but Sunday in Lambeau Field against the Packers, they looked a lot more like the 0-16 team that wrapped up their winless season in Green Bay. The team was shutout by a tough Packers defense 26-0, and it looks like the offense that almost tied [read more...]

Fantasy Versus and Coin Flip

We’re entering our fourth week of tough battles. There are two Monday night games involving three undefeated teams, another match on Sunday between the 3-0 Ravens and the 2-1 Patriots, and we could also see supposed Super Bowl contenders like Tennessee drop to 0-4. While the NFL has become increasingly more difficult to predict with the Denver Broncos 3-0 and the [read more...]

Week Two Preview: Cincinnati at Green Bay

The last time I remember the Bengals playing a regular season game at Lambeau Field, Brett Favre made his Packer debut and led Green Bay to a fourth-quarter comeback win. It was early in the season, the Bengals were 2-0, the Packers were winless, Cincinnati was up 17-3 in the third quarter, the meltdown ensued and a legend was born. [read more...]

Do the Football Gods Really Hate the Bengals?

Last week in this space I wrote about how the Bengals had no excuses heading into their first game of the season. The argument was that they had no legitimate reason to lose to the Broncos, and after a generally successful offseason, they simply couldn’t afford to. Playing at home, almost completely healthy and facing a seemingly inferior opponent, [read more...]
