Vikings Buy Lombardi’s Book
Posted on 29 May 2013 by Steven Keys.
What if… Spartacus defeats Crassus’ Roman legions (71BC); The Red Army fails to hold Stalingrad (43); JFK (63) had staff as loyal as did Charles de Gaulle; Geo. Zimmerman carries no gun the night he encounters Trayvon Martin (12); Marlon Brando (Lawrence of Arabia), Robert Redford (The Graduate) and Hedy Lamarr (Casablanca) filled-the-bill in these respective classics; “Portland selects (...

Tebow: NFL’s Nowhere Man
Posted on 6 May 2013 by Steven Keys.
I hope Tim Tebow finds a landing spot in the NFL, somewhere, anywhere, setting-up under center or testing out tight end, wearing Jacksonville teal or Green Bay green, it doesn’t matter. Tim should be in the show. Some folks look forward to the day when Tebow disappears altogether from the game. Love the man or hate him (most find TT a curiosity), Tim moves the meter. He hasn’t been moving t...

What’s Up Down South?
Posted on 25 Mar 2013 by Dan Rakusan.
Now, I can't profess that the Atlanta Falcons don't know what they're doing, but today's news really took me by surprise! After 14 years in the NFL, center Todd McClure is calling it a career. Would I put him at the top of the overall list of players at his position? Probably not. But in the top-10 in terms of reliability and durability? Absolutely yes! It is scary to imagine, if you'...

Friendship Fleeting in NFL Flux
Posted on 13 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
Losing your best friend has always been tough, whether you’re eight or ninety-eight. They write songs about it and plenty of ’em: See; “Popcrush.com.” I’m not embarrassed to say I knew not one of PC’s top-ten “best friend” songs until the last one on the list (#1): The Jackson 5, “I’ll Be There” (’71). Funny thing is, that’s ‘bout time I lost a best friend. I must’...

NFL ’12 Cherry Picks Wk-15
Posted on 13 Dec 2012 by Steven Keys.
All Process That is Due The longer Bountygate dragged-out the more likely Paul Tagliabue does exactly what he did in his ruling on Tuesday: found middle ground. At least that’s how NFLPA is selling it to members. In truth, DeMaurice Smith and other union sharks hope their clients don’t read too deeply and stick to the pro-player headlines, as Tags re-buffed the jocks in validating NFL’s f...

The Bad Side of 7-3
Posted on 22 Nov 2012 by Smiley.
Colin Kaepernick had a coming out party on Monday Night, but it came at the expense of the Chicago Bears. Jason Campbell's 2012 coming out party did not bode well at all. In a game where Campbell played every offensive snap of the game, he did not perform as good as many people thought he would. Offense The offense was just as bad Monday Night as it was on Sunday last week, and there were 4 les...

NFL ’12 Cherry Picks Wk-11
Posted on 18 Nov 2012 by Steven Keys.
Protocol in Tackling The storylines are all too familiar in this week’s NFL: concussions, Big Ben injury updates, Giants mid-season funk, dysfunction in Jetsland, Tebow talk, etcetera. And when the topic is concussions, “protocol” is the buzz word that swarms the hive. Protocol, in health assessment, is a good thing. It means people are taking notice and then steps to try to prevent, or a...

Back to the X and O Board

The Texans and Bears had a pow wow of a game on Sunday as two defenses faced two of the NFL's highest scoring offenses. In the end, both teams battled hard for the 8-1 record(tying them for best record in the NFL) but the Texans were the ones who emerged 8-1, thus sinking the Bears to 7-2 after 10 weeks. Let us look at how this game transpired on Sunday night. Offense The Bears offense tried to...

Battle for 8-1!
Posted on 11 Nov 2012 by Smiley.
Houston Texans at Chicago Bears Sunday November 11, 2012 at Solider Field 7:30 p.m. ct By the Numbers On Sunday, the Bears will go into Soldier Field ranking in the Top 3, in terms of points per game, offensively and defensively (3rd and 2nd, respectively). The Houston Texans come into Chicago ranked 2nd and 4th in the same category. While the defenses are almost identical when it comes to st...

Four Phase Domination
Posted on 5 Nov 2012 by Smiley.
Every team in the National Football League goes into every game hoping for perfection. This comes about by all four phases: Offense, Defense, Special Teams, and fan base. Usually a perfect game is when the Defense pitches a shut out and the Offense is 100% on 3rd down, but since we live in reality the bears came close enough on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Offense The offense started o...

Can the Bears Offense Compete?
Posted on 29 Oct 2012 by Smiley.
Can the Bears compete with any team in the NFL? I do believe so. But that all depends on an offense that has sputtered often times and needed a jump start provided by the defense. However, what if the defense has it's own problems to attend to and can't always bail the offense out? Then what Mike Tice? Let me be clear in the fact that I do not fully blame Mike Tice for the offenses' mishaps, ...

Showdown Alert: Panthers at Bears
Posted on 28 Oct 2012 by Smiley.
Not many people, including me, predicted that this game would be as close as it came out to be. To win the game Jay Cutler had to take the Bears down the field from their own 22-yard line so that Robbie Gould could kick the game winner. But let's look at what kept this game close. Offense The first half was horrendous for the Chicago Bears save for some nice runs for Matt Forte. Jay Cutler was ...
