Welcome to week eleven. Where the NFC South threatens to bring up the topic of playoff reform once again. We talked last week about how every team in the AFC North would be winning the division. And then the only team in the South to get a win was the Falcons. And that was likely … Continue reading Weekly Scrimmage – November 12th 2014
The Backdoor Cut – November 9th 2014
We're about a week and a half into the 2014-'15 NBA season and everything is so obviously clear. The Warriors and Kings will be fighting tooth an nail in the Western Conference Finals, the Cavs will never pass to each other, and the Lakers are going to be terrible (okay, maybe that one's not a … Continue reading The Backdoor Cut – November 9th 2014

Well here we are, nine weeks into the season. We're starting to see some trends take hold. And we're rethinking things from the beginning of the season. But what we're most often left with is a gluttony of teams in the middle of the pack. We're looking at thirteen teams with either four or five … Continue reading Weekly Scrimmage – November 5th 2014

I stay believing in unicorns. I had Tampa and St Louis both winning last week. My Tampa pick looked like a decent bet but I've yet to be correct while picking them to win this year. St Louis is still a team I believe to be much better than their record. Yet I couldn't pick … Continue reading Weekly Scrimmage – October 29th 2014

So that Peyton Manning guy is pretty good. If you like six five guys with laser rocket arms. That Niners D is missing some pretty key contributors but what Manning did is special against a squad that most teams don't look forward to playing. Oh, and the whole throwing more touchdowns than anyone else ever … Continue reading Weekly Scrimmage – October 22nd 2014

The NFL is a league that seems to be one of short term hindsight. It's often referred to as a copycat league, with various schemes and sets that are successful being used over and over again. Remember when it felt like every team in the league had a wildcat package? Players were being drafted much … Continue reading Weekly Scrimmage – October 15th 2014

We're staring week six in the face and now it finally feels like football season. The weather here in Indiana doesn't always cooperate by feeling like the season it should but there is now a crispness to the air. Speaking of crisp, Peyton Manning looks once again like one of the leading MVP candidates. The … Continue reading Weekly Scrimmage – October 8th 2014

Welcome to the fifth week of NFL action. Here we'll take a look at the first quarter of quarterback stock action went and dive into why the NFL is impossible to predict. I'm wondering if picking names out of a hat may end up with a more accurate way of deciding picks. I'm guessing that … Continue reading Weekly Scrimmage – October 1st 2014
Weekly Scrimmage – September 24th 2014
My personal NFL fanhood came into play in last week's Weekly Scrimmage. The first two weeks were pretty painful. I watched a team that I had hoped would compete for the divisional title lose to back up quarterbacks. And then they played the Falcons. Welp. I mean, there was that one play where Lavonte David … Continue reading Weekly Scrimmage – September 24th 2014
