What? It has to happen sooner or latter. It has been over 2 years since the worst franchise in sports tasted sweet, sweet victory. Why not tonight? The Jets aren't a good team, they are a young team with great potential. Week one was more of a flash in the pan, this team is still very beatable. The Browns on the other hand are a better team then their record would suggest. In fact, they are an undefeated team if not for that sorry excuse for a kicker Zane Gonzalez. Look for the Browns to rely upon their opportunistic defence and the steady hand of Tyrod Taylor to keep them in this one. Sam Darnold may very well be a star in the making but he is a player who has always had a tendency to turn the ball over at a high rate. This trait does not normally correct itself in the NFL (see Winston, Jameis). Both teams will take a slug it out, old school approach. Run heavy schemes with short efficient passes and a reliance on the defence to keep the game close. This game will absolutely co...

Dominated, absolutely dismantled. This team got absolutely smacked in the mouth. Bradford looked absolutely atrocious and it trickled down to the rest of the offence save DJ and Fitz. The line play wasn't too shabby but we just couldn't sustain a drive to save our lives. Every-time the ball was punted away Alex Smith and the duo of Chris Thompson and Adrian "steroids" Peterson made sure to not give it back. They exploited our linebackers (especially Deone Buccanon) and neutralized our strengths: the pass rush and secondary (save Jamar Taylor). It truly was an excellent game plan on their end. However, I do have a bone to pick with the goddamn refs. I know, sore loser, blah blah blah. That might be the case but the refs from this game need to look up the definition of intentional grounding. Every time Alex Smith was about to get sacked he threw the ball underhanded to no one. Textbook thing you can't do. What did the officials do? Just pointed at some random receiv...

I waited until the last possible minute so these will be brief MIA-TEN: Miami wins a close and ugly one: 18-15 Niners-Vikings: Vikings humble Jimmy G and hault the hype train that has gone off the rails: 28-14 Pats-Texans: Watson is no guarantee coming off a second major knee surgery. Pats do their thing: 35-24 Bucs-Saints: A slaughter lead by Alvin Kamara as Fitz and company never stood a chance: 38-13 Jags-Giants: Jags pick up where they left off as the Giants putrid oline gets exposed by the incredible pass rush: 25-16 Bengals-Colts: Andrew Luck surprises people in this unexpected shootout: 38-30 Colts Steelers-Browns: This one gets ugly as defences shine and the Steelers adjust to life without Bell: 20-14, pitt Bills-Ravens: This boring excuse for a game is the lock of the early games. Peterman isnt ready and the Ravens play great defence: 17-10 Baltimore

The Jon Gruden experiment is bound to fail. The average head coach of Oakland and Tampa fame has never been anything special. So his re-entry into the coaching profession is puzzling to say the least. An optimist will tell you he is an offensive wizard who is known as a quarterback whisperer of sorts. Which is all fine and good. Derrick Carr could use fresh eyes. What is incredibly puzzling and also unsurprising is his obsession with a 1998 style of football, a far cry from the intricacies of the current game. Forever the head strong optimist Gruden aggressively implemented his blast from the past style by accumulating a 2012 all star team. He stocked the team with old guys such as Doug Martin and Jordy Nelson. On the defensive side of the ball the team was still aggressively average if totally neglected in the recent team revamp. The only reason the defence was passable was the presence of Khalil Mack. You might know Mack as the only player in recent memory to be named an all-pro at t...
