Season ending Awards

At the end of the season, there will be a vote for Pro-bowlers and other awards for the players. These are my projections as of late:

MVP (Most Valuable Player): Phillip Rivers- QB Phillip Rivers is putting up record passing numbers with a injury and suspension ridden WR core.  He has no running game to sell play-action as the HB are injured and not performing well.  Rivers should win MVP because he is single handedly making San Diego a play off contending team.

Offensive Player of The Year: Based on pure statistics Phillip Rivers could very well win this award as well.  I think it will be a toss up between QB Tom Brady. He has the best passer Rating at 109.5 and leads passing stats with 27 TDs.  So, I'm not sure about this one, but I think Mr. Rivers will win.

Defensive Player of the Year: At the beginning of the season it looked like a sure bet that LB Clay Matthews was going to win with his outrageous number of sacks.  But, Miami's un-drafted diamond in the dirt LB Cameron Wake has surpassed  Matthews with 12.0 sacks.... Wake is a sure pass rusher as his numbers on 3rd down and sure passing downs are much higher than anyone elses. But, CB Asante Samuel  is leading the league in INTs and is shutting down each receiver he's facing. This one is also a toss up, but I'm going to give it to #91 Cameron Wake.

Offensive Rookie of The Year: The Number one overall Pick in 2010's draft, Sam Bradford, should win this award. He is top in the league in passer rating on 3rd down. He is without his #1 WR Donnie Avery and he is looking extremely patient and decisive in the pocket.  Bradford would have had a run for his money had Detroit's HB Jahvid Best kept his performances going from the start of the season.  But, no one looks like they can take this award besides Bradford. 

Defensive Rookie of The Year: Ndomakong Suh. The freak of nature who plays defensive tackle. This position is a run stopping position yet Suh has 8 sacks and 41 total tackles.  This beast should be the sure fire winner.

Comeback Player of The Year: MV7... Michael Vick. He is shredding defenses and has limited INTs.  Theres no stopping this man. He is the starter and no defense can handle him. NO DOUBT MV7 wins this award.

Coach of the Year: Many coaches have had good years. Rex Ryan could win this award. So can Pete Carrol, Jim Harbaugh, and Mike Smith. BUT, my pick for COY is Head Coach Todd Haley of the KC Chiefs. Once the laughing stock of the league Todd Haley has pulled the Chiefs in playoff contention and has them looking sharp.

Half time report

It's half time and the score is 0-6 Bears. Robboe gould has scored both field goals for Chicago. Neither team's QB is playing well with a combined 3 INTs and 0 touchdowns.
The Miami Defense looks very good. They are shutting the Bears down on 1st and 2nd down, but they are allowing way to many 3rd down conversions.
Brandon Marshal left the game during the second quarter. Although there is little information on his injury, he was grabbing at his hamstring. This is a very bad sign for struggling QB Tyler Thigpen.
If the Dolphins can turn it on offensively I think they have a shot at this game. They have had some dropped passes and some missed blocks. Although, I realistcally predict the final score will be 16 10 Bears... :(

Thursday night football

The Miami Dolphins square off with the Chicago Bears. This is a must win game for both teams. For the Dolphins the difference between being 6-4 and 5-5 is massive. And, for The Bears need to win because the NFC North is starting to pull away from them with the Packers.
My final score prediction is 31-24 Miami. Looke for special teams to be a big part of the game. My two players of the game to watch are Jay Cutler and Tyler Thigpen. These two need to perform well for their teams to win.

thursday night game

3 NFC Teams to Watch

3 NFC Teams to Watch

1. New York Giants- The G men are somehow under the radar. Their defense is stellar. Lead by the Sack Machines Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck, the G men put pressure on and cause turnovers.  Also, Eli Manning is looking like the Superbowl Winning Eli.  His relationship with WR Hakeem Nicks seems to always let them meet up with a chest bump in the end-zone. G men are the best in the NFC and could be wearing a SuperBowl Patch on their jerseys come February.

2. Green Bay Packers- The Cheese Heads. I think Green Bay is a very good team. The injury ridden squad still seems to be able to put W's on their calendar.  Aaron Rodgers is campaigning for an MVP year with his numbers.  He just always seems to find the open guy, which, is usually Greg Jennings.  The defense is lead by Clay Matthews. Also, in the running for MVP. My vote for Defensive player of the Year has already gone to Clay. He has close to 9 hundred million sacks for the season.... No but he has 10.5 and leads the league.  GB is very good. Theres not many holes in those Cheese Heads.

3. Atlanta Falcons- Although the Falcons are playing in a weak NFC South, they're still making haste with other teams out side of their division. Roddy White is performing extremely well and is a top 5 WR in the league. Michael Turner is a Beast again, and the Falcon D is performing well. Thats it! The falcons are good. Bottom line.

3 AFC Teams to Watch For

3 AFC Teams to Watch For  

1. Baltimore Ravens- Baltimore is playing like a Super-Bowl Caliber Team. QB Joe Flacco is coming into form.  He is showing his deep-threat, gun of an arm. Ray Rice is still very dangerous carrying and catching the ball from the back field. And, the Ravens D is still lockdown. They have the 9th ranked Pass D and their DB always have the scent of the end-zone in their noses. This teams dangerous.

2. New England Patriots- Many people thought with the trade of "The Freak" the Pats would severely lose depth and offensive prowess. Well, the no-namers like Danny Woodhead, Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis, Brandon Tate, and Arron Hernandez are pairing up with Veterans like Deon Branch and Tom Brady to surprise the league with huge offensive numbers.  The Patriot secondary needs help but the Pats are still a very big threat even if they don't win the division.

3. Kansas City Chiefs- Week in and week out this run first team replete with good blocking and Pro-Bowl Halfbacks carry this team to victory.  The Chief's defense is also doing their part.  Their run stoppers like Glenn Dorsey are helping. And, their secondary defensive backs are playing superbly. The modernized running style between a scat back and a power back is extremely powerful. The Chief's could go from Rags to Riches very soon.

Mid Season projections! NFC

NFC 
North
Cheese. The Smelly, Luxembourg Cheese heads will win this division.... Even though the Bears of Chicago started out strongly, Lovie Smith's team just wont be able to compete with Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews. Pack take this division swiftly

East
Once looked at as the strongest division, the NFC East now looks bleak and terrible. Kevin Kolb receives his QB tole back after the bye week.  I don't agree with this, but Andy Reid is undeceive himself. The Eagles will fly into the playoffs just barley escaping the grasp of the Giants defense.

South
The Tampa Buccaneers are 5-2.... And that doesn't mean much in my book. The Saints will win this division.

West
Pete Carrol will not only win Coach of the year, but he will win the NFC West Division Title.  Matt Hasselbeck is putting up Pro-Bowl numbers and the Seahawks Defense is outstanding. Seattle wins this division.

AFC Playoff Prediction!

AFC


West
The surprise pick of the year. Anyone who picked the Chiefs to win the division before Week 1 is looking like a genius right now... Chiefs pull through and maybe defense will win a championship.  The Chiefs have something really special in their offense with the All around back of Thomas Jones, the SPEEEEDSTER Jamal Charles, and the flexibility of Dexter McCluster. Dare I say, "Go KC?"

East
The Miami Dolphins will win this division. As the most competitive division barrels down, i think the Phins squeeze out the title over the Pats and Jets. As long as QB Henne can continue his leadership, I think the dolphins are in good shape.


South
QB Peyton Manning could very well be the smartest player of all time. He dictates the entire game.  Theres just no stopping this man. Colts win the South.

North

The Steelers and the Ravens will battle it out for the division title and I believe it will fall to the Ravens. Joe Flacco and the Ravens defense is playing amazing.  Sorry Pittsburgh, maybe Ben Rapelessburger can bring it home next year.

Cracking Down on Big Hits? Huge Hit To The NFL...

Cracking Down on Big Hits? Huge Hit To The NFL...

  

    The NFL has been trying to protect the players more and more with an increase of player concussions.  New rules are being enforced that if a player gets a concussion from playing, they are extremely advised to stay out.  If a coach puts a player back in after the injury, the coach could receive a hefty fine.
    This weekend players like Dunta Robinson and James Harrison received fines for their tackles.  As seen in the video above, Desean Jackson was laid-out and left with a concussion. The collision was so immense that even CB Dunta Robinson left the game with a concussion.  LB James Harrison commented on the new rules by threatening to retire. He claims that he does not know how to play football this way.
     The NFL went as far to defame big hits as to stop selling pictures and videos of big hits to publishers.  Commissioner Goodel is a smart man, but I hope he does realize that slobber knockers are crowd pleasers.  I just hope that the league will stop waving around their big stick and let the players play. Because honestly, whats next? Fines for chest bumping?
     This past weekend was all the NFL and Commissioner Goodell needed to be able to bring down their
"No Fun League" gavel. I am all for protecting players, but taking away big hits from football is like taking away touchdown celebrations... Oh wait...

Pick of The Week
My sure bet for the week is New England over San Diego. The Chargers are looking very wear and New England is coming off a big win over the Ravens.  Look for defense to win this game as both QB's are gun slingers.


Game of The Week
The Froze Tundra of Green Bay warmed up after the Miami Dolphins brought some Wade and LeBron Heat.  The Pack will be very determined to turn around their falling season after 2 straight losses.  Rodgers will taunt this Vikings defense. WR Greg Jennings is the X-factor. If he performs well, the Vikings might lose yet another game.


Final Score Prediction: 31-16 Packers

Monday Night Football Point Spread

10/11 8:35 ET	At NY Jets	-4	Minnesota

Game of the week: Monday Night Football hosts the game of the week. Randy Moss and the Minnesota Vikings go into the Meadowlands to take on Rex Ryan and the Jets.  I think that this will be a very intense game. The Vikings will win this in a close game, 34-30.

Moss to Vikings

The Freak Goes to the Freezing    

    The New England Patriots traded future Hall-of-Famer Randy Moss to the Minnesota Vikings.  In desperate need of a WR, since Sidney Rice went down, Minnesota was happy to give a 3rd round draft pick for Moss. The player that this trade most directly affects is Brett Farve.

    Farve was left without a big deep threat when Rice got injured. This lead to his worst career star to a season.  He already as accumulated as many interceptions as he had ALL of last season.  I believe with the addition of Moss, Farve will improve dramatically.  Also, Sidney Rice will be back in the lineup around week 9. For that second half of the season, the Vikings will have Randy Moss at the No 1, Sidney Rice No 2, Percy (2009 Rookie of the Year) Harvin in the slot at No 3 and Bernard Berrian at the No 4.  

    Brett Farve will lead this team to a huge bounce back. I think they immediately become contenders in the NFC North.  Also, look for Adrian "All Day" Peterson to put up RIDICULOUS numbers from here on out. The defenses now have to respect the pass, and they will have to remove one or maybe even two defenders out of the box to cover "The Freak."

Playoff Predictions

Playoff Team Predictions


NFC
East- With the NFC East looking as weak as it's ever been, it seems that the Eagles should take this division. QB Michael Vick  is playing like an MVP type QB.  The NFC East just seems very weak this year and I say that the Eagles will finish 11-5.

North- Although the Chicago Bears are looking extremely sound on defense and QB Jay Cutler is limiting his turnovers, I think the Packers will take this division behind the phenom QB Aaron Rodgers. The "Cheese Heads" will end the regular season 13-3.

South- With an astonishing THREE teams with a 2-1 record (including last year's horrendously embarrassing Tampa Bay Buccaneers), the NFC South is looking very strong.  I predict that the, defending Super Bowl Champion, Saints will win the division with a 11-5 record.  

West- I am willing to make a huge surprise and BOLD pick that the Seattle Seahawks win the NFC West.  Their KR Specialist, Leon Washington, is getting hot, and Head-coach Pete Carrol has clearly made an impact on this once struggling team.  10-6 is my calculations for these rebounding birds.

AFC

East-  In my opinion, the AFC East is the strongest division in the NFL this year.  with three 2-1 teams, the divisional games are already heating up.  I think that the Miami Dolphins and the NY Jets tie in season record 10-6.  I also have to say that NY will win the division title since I believe the Jets will win the tiebreaker over the Phins. 

North- The Cincinnati Bengals behind Head-coach Marvin Lewis will pull out the division win with a nail biter.  The AFC North Could very well have THREE teams make the playoffs.  The Steelers and Ravens could win the wild card.  Although the Steelers have started out 3-0, I really don't think they will continue to succeed. The Ravens will give the Bengals the biggest run for their claws. QB Joe Flacco seems to be coming into form, but a nagging injury to Ray Rice will slow the flight of these birds.

South- After suffering a week 1 loss to Arian Foster, the Colts have clearly turned everything around. WR Austin Collie is performing extremely well, and Peyton Manning is continuing his MVP run with 6 TDs and no interceptions.  Colts will be atop of the division with a 13-3 record.

West- There must be something in the air in western United States because I have the Kansas City Chiefs winning the AFC West.... If anyone would have called this before the season started they might have been slapped, kicked, spit on, and told to go watch Dancing With the Stars. These Chiefs are looking stellar. The only problem I see is that KC might not be able to put up a lot of points behind Matt Cassel. But, the Chief's defense is scoring TDs causing turnovers and not allowing points. The Chiefs must have put something in their Gatorade.

This division rivalry will be loaded with short tempers, late hits, celebrations, and heart.  Final Score prediction 20-13 Baltimore.

NFL Week 1-2 Review

Week 1

The opening week of NFL football was not a let down. Amazing games such as Arian Fosters record setting day, Houston Texans upset over the Indianapolis Colts, and the Monday Night upset of the kansas City Chiefs over the San Diego Chargers only set the tone for the rest of the season.

Key Games-
-Chiefs beat Chargers- this was a big upset and it is giving the Chiefs a considerable amount of confidence. the Chiefs defense was extremely sharp, shutting down the rookie Matthews.
- Pats run over Bengals- The Cincinnatti Bengals looked terrible. Tom Brady tore apart the defense and Carson Palmer just didn't look good.

Week 2

Week 2 wasn't as exciting as the first week... UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT! The game of the week was the MNF matchup of the Saints against the 49ers.  The game came down to a winning field goal at the last second of the game. Heroics from Drew Brees shined as time expired.

Key Games-
-The Dolphins win over the Vikings was a very important game. The goal line stand by the Dolphins shut down Adrian Peterson and locked up 1st place in the division.

Monday Night Predictions! Jets vs. Ravens!!!!

Monday Night Predictions!

        Two AFC Powerhouses square off tonight in the Big Apple.  The New Meadowlands will host AFC North's Baltimore Ravens in the home of AFC East's New York Jets.  I think tonight will be an all out war because neither of these teams can take starting out the season 0-1.  

      From the side of the Jets, I'm predicting multiple trick plays.  Maybe an allusion back to when the Jets faked 4th down punts twice against the Dolphins, last year on "Monday Night." The Ravens might also "pull a rabbit out of the hat" with their newly acquired Pro Bowl WR Anquan Boldin.  Not many people know, but Big Q can throw the ball quite well.  I will be looking forward to see if Anquan gets the opportunity to throw the ball, say off a screen.  

     

What to pay attention to: The Jets Defense:  With the acquisition of Antonio Cromartie, the Jets defense becomes an archipelago, chain of islands.  This is alluding to Pro Bowler Darrelle Revis' nickname, Revis Island.  What you should watch for is the Ravens testing Revis.  QB Joe Flacco will be testing Revis more than ever because the Jets defense got even stronger.  See, last year QB's could avoid Revis because there wasn't another lock down corner on the other side.  Also, look for Rex Ryans defense to go after Flacco because everyone knows Rex Ryan has a bunch of crazy blitzing schemes.

What to pay attention to: Ray Rice: My sleeper for this year's MVP is the not so little guy from Rutgers. Ray Rice will be getting the ball between the tackles, outside the tackles, on pitches, on sweeps, on passes, on screens. This guy will be getting the ball everywhere. Why??? Because he is dangerous with the ball no matter where he is on the field.  Even though, the Monster, Kris Jenkins is back for the Jets, look for Ray Rice to have a COLOSSAL game.

Game's Sleeper Pick:  For this game's under the radar snoozer, I'm selecting Jets TE Dustin Keller.  As the relationship between QB Mark Sanchez and Keller grows, Sanchez has been looking for Keller more and more often. I think Keller will be a huge part of the Jets success tonight. I think he could have somewhere around 6 catches for 80 yards and 2 TD's....  No, I'm not crazy, I'm bold.

Prediction: Even though the Dolphin fan in me is screaming "NO!," I predict that the New York Jets will win 24-23 in a heart-breaker.  This also means that the Ravens would cover the betting spread of -2.5 points.

AFC North Projections!!!

AFC North

10-6


Baltimore Ravens- The Ravens are looking very good with the addition of Anquan Boldin and T.J. Houshmanzadeh.  I predict that Flacco will have a huge year. Third year HB Ray Rice is in my candidates for this season's MVP.  Ray Rice is nothing short of exciting. He is dangerous when he is handed the ball off, and he can kill defenses catching the ball. Ray Lewis still leads the tough, hard-nosed Ravens defense.  A huge loss for 6 games is the injury to ProBowl Safety Ed Reed. 


Prediction: With their schedule being so tough I say that the Ravens go 10-6 and make the Playoffs with the Wildcard.

 11-5




Cincinnati Bengals-  The Carson Palmer led Bengals jumped out to win the division last year. Their defense was astonishing.  Getting Antwan Odom back will help even more to this defense. The addition of T.O.  gives Palmer an additional threat on offense. HB Cedric Benson might have an even bigger year this year because the defense will have to play against the stars at WR.  Benson will be finding running holes and break out for HUGE gains this season. Also,watch out for Rookie Tight End Jermaine Gresham to have an All-star year.  


Prediction: I just don't see how a team can stop these "cats." I say the Bengals win the AFC North and go 11-5.

 8-8


Pittsburgh Steelers- I am making a huge call saying that the Steelers only go 8-8. Although  HB Rashard Mendenhall is looking like he's going to have a break-out year and WR Mike Wallace seems to be coming into form, I believe the Steelers will have problems matching up on defense with the other star studded receiving cores in the AFC North.  The offseason issues with QB Ben Roethlisberger led his 4 game suspension.  He didn't even get voted by his teammates to be a Captain. I just don't see the Steelers being a contender with the ball not in "BIG BEN'S" hands.  


Prediction: The Steelers will miss the Playoffs this season and go 8-8. 

 3-13




Cleveland Browns- Theres really not much good to say about the Browns.  The only star on the entire team, Joshua Cribbs, is only a threat during a kickoff return.  Cribbs is the No. 2 WR, and the kickoff return specialist.  The Browns defense is horrendous. Their schedule is extremely tough facing the elite AFC North teams.  The Browns might not even 3 games this season. Im putting 3 big W's in the hands of Joshua Cribbs because I know Jake Delhome won't win games for Cleveland and the Rookie sensation HB Montario Hardesty is out for the whole season with an injury.


Prediction:  The Browns will continue their streak of poor seasons and go 3-13.

The NFL Offseason

   After the 2009 NFL season ended with the New Orleans Saints holding up the Lombardi Trophy, NFL General Managers began the hunt to land big free agent signings.  February 27 marked the day that free agency and team trading began.  Many teams needed to fulfill position requirements, and many big name players' contracts were up.  Listed below are the biggest free agent signings this offseason:
Anquan Boldin- WR- Baltimore A+
Karlos Dansby -MLB- Miami A
T.J. Houshmanzadeh-WR- Baltimore-  B
Brandon Marshal- WR- Miami A+
Terrel Owens-WR- Cincinatti B-
Darrele Revis-CB-New York A+
Antonio Cromartie- CB- New York- B+

The most influential signing is definitely the return of the 40 year old great, Brett Farve.  Without Farve, Minnesota would be in deep trouble.
