Falcons-Panthers Preview

Posted: 11th November 2009 by Silver Fox in NFL
I see this game exemplifying the coaching differences between the two squads, particularly the two offensive coaching staffs.á I expect the Falcons to do the right things and the Panthers to play well for a while, but in the end, screw things up. An Atlanta win means that the Falcons are closer to the Saints, in terms of ability.á A Carolina win means that Atlanta is more at the PanthersÆ inconsistent ...

The NFL Today: Week Three

Posted: 27th September 2009 by Silver Fox in NFL
Michael Vick rejoins NFL today: Eagles' QB, armed with Wildcat offense, to play for the first time since 2006. Saints' QB Drew Brees is now the best QB of the NFL. Tom Brady still needs to shake off a little rust after being inured last year. Peyton Manning is still Peyton Manning, just nearing the end of his career. Tony Romo still cannot win the big game. Ben Roethlisberger can ...

Are we witnessing the beginning of the end for quarterback Jake Delhomme and Coach John Fox?  Are Carolina’s swagger and confidence becoming unglued? One poor game may be an accident. Two very bad games in a row is a trend. Three consecutive pitiful performances is a significant problem. If a fourth straight horrible performance by the starting quarterback is allowed, than the head coach’s decision-making, sanity, judgment, and job-security are all under ...

Brady and Favre Return: Opening NFL Weekend Highlights

Posted: 13th September 2009 by Silver Fox in NFL
NFL drama, I mean—action, returns in full swing today. Today QB Brett Favre makes his regular season debut in purple (purple cheesehead?) when his Minnesota Vikings visit Cleveland for the matchup vs. the Browns.  The Dog Pound in Cleveland will be barking loudly. I pick Vikings over Browns. Speaking of dogs, the Philadelphia Eagles will be Michael Vick-less but not hound-free when traveling to Charlotte in an encounter with the Carolina Panthers.  Today’s ...

What Are Your 2010 Super Bowl Picks?

Posted: 10th September 2009 by Silver Fox in NFL
Annually, prognosticators all over the United States, from Maine to California to Florida and inbetween, make Super Bowl predictions to kickoff the new season. Therefore, in the spirit of that tradition, I will contribute my two cents worth. On the surface, the AFC appears to be simple to figure out, with the New England Patriots being the most logical favorites.  My head says the Patriots but my heart moves me to think ...
