Sunday’s 16-0 debacle at the hands of the Buffalo Bills is further proof that you cannot win in the NFL without a quarterback. Yeah…I get it. Jacoby Brissett is a rookie and he wasn’t healthy but its not like he put up “big” numbers against the Texans the week before. Brissett and Jimmy Garoppolo did a great job in Tom Brady’s absence but now the GOAT is back and so…
By Michael Vallee -The Price of PSI: Score one for Roger Goodell. After roaring to a 3-0 non-Brady start behind multiple quarterbacks, the Patriots hit a QB wall Sunday in a 16-0 drubbing at the hands of the Buffalo Bills. I guess Patriots fans were asking too much for their team to emerge from the depths of Deflategate completely unscathed, particularly when they received the surprising news that…
The U is for real and people need to start recognizing Mark Richt’s team. 1. With Oregon falling apart and Stanford lacking a quarterback, Washington has emerged as the best team in the Pac-12 North. Chris Pedersen is building a monster. 2. Baylor barely beat Iowa State. Baylor has narrowly escaped defeat the last few weeks but you get the sense their luck is about to run out. 3. Don’t…
Game Rewind: The Patriots were shut out for the first time ever at Gillette Stadium 16-0 by the Bills in what was a lackluster performance. Today’s performance by the Patriots was a complete 180 of last Thursday night’s 27-0 win over the Texans. Needless to say, Tom Brady can’t return fast enough. Here are my five thoughts on the game. 1. Brissett Was Battered: You have to feel for rookie…
Storyline: The Patriots host the Bills today in what is the final game of Tom Brady’s four game suspension. Brady’s return couldn’t becoming at a better time as both Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett are banged up. The Patriots did announce this morning that they are starting Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. Brissett is playing with a banged up thumb so it’ll be interesting to see how much they throw with…
Where does time go? We’ve already reached the end of September and we are nearing the halfway point in the college football season. Here are my top five games for this weekend. #7 Stanford Cardinal at #10 Washington Huskies: The Pac-12 will struggle to get a team into the College Football Playoff. The only way they’ll be able to is if a team in the conference goes undefeated. That means that…
The administration at LSU proved just how incompetent they are this past weekend when they fired head coach Les Miles and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. Firing Miles this early in the season makes zero sense. After almost firing Miles at the end of last season, the clowns who make up the administration at LSU decided to bring Miles back because there were no better options available. Nine months later, they…
The Texans just aren’t the same team without Watt. 1.No Watt, no chance for the Texans. I know people around here think he is overrated but Watt is the Texans best player and is the heart and soul of the team. If he’s not right, the Texans are not right. 2.Bill Belichick knows who is starting at quarterback for him on Sunday. He’s not announcing it for obviously reasons. Keep…
The Trojans haven’t been doing much fighting under Clay Helton thus far in 2016. 1.USC is 1-3. Do you think Pat Haden and the admin at SC regret promoting Clay Helton? If you asked them privately, they would say yes. Current AD Lynn Swann however has supported Helton publicly. 2. Is there any chance we could Lamar Jackson the Heisman now? I don’t want to see him regress and not…
The Patriots put on a coaching clinic in a 27-0 shutout win over former assistant Bill O’Brien and the Texans. By Michael Vallee -Masterpiece Theater: While most coaches will tell you players win championships, there is no denying that NFL head coaches have more influence on the outcome of games than any other coach/manager in any other sport, and Thursday night Bill Belichick exercised that impact to the max by…
