I know its a bit late, but I've been busy, and I like to wait for all the immediate post draft hype to calm down before a sit down and judge it.
Most fans are confident their new rookies will be game changers. In all honesty, maybe half the teams can hope this draft will be looked back on as a success. While this draft was heralded as one loaded ...
With free agency ending and the draft coming up, I found myself with many comments I wanted to express, but not many I felt I could write a whole article about. So I decided to just have my top 10 post-free agency observations in one article.
1. The San Francisco 49ers will win the NFC West in 2010.
The Seattle Seahawks and St. Louis Rams are in full rebuilding mode (again), ...
After a surprisingly low-key free agency, the Redskins are now ready to tackle the next major step of the off-season, the draft.
The Redskins approach towards free agency shows that the new management puts more value on the draft then on free agency. Unfortunately, the Redskins are not in much of a position to shore up their roster this year.
The Redskins are short two picks in this year’s draft, in the ...
OK, technically the era is not over.

Shanahan obviously has a lot of upside. His two Super Bowl rings are the most obvious thing that comes to mind. It is hard to deny the success Shanahan had with taking ...
This Wildcard Weekend is one of the most difficult to predict in recent memory. This would seem strange considering the fact that 3 of these matchups were also featured last week, but the losers of two of them seemed to almost not care, and in the other rematch, the theory on defeating a team three times in one season rears its ugly head. I'll try not to waste your time ...
Not Completely Pointless: Five Washington Redskins Whose Futures Will Be Decided Sunday
Posted: 31st December 2009 by Phillip O'Brien in NFL
It's next to impossible to be excited about the Redskins game this weekend. They have been out of the playoff running for a long time, and can't even say they're playing for respect, since its likly the Chargers will be resting they're starters for most the game. I don't see me watching this whole game, and this is from the guy who froze his butt off watching the whole Skins-Cowboys ...
