Since 1970, only 10 teams have reached the 10-0 mark in the NFL. The most recent squad is this year’s Tennessee Titans.

Not much of the offensive juggernaut like last year’s record-breaking New England Patriots, Tennessee has relied on one of the game’s best defenses to keep its season perfect. While surprisingly not in the top five statistically in rushing, passing or even total defense, the Titans have given up only 131 points through 10 games. That’s about 13 points per game and tops in the league for those playing along at home. Read more »

The Buffalo Bills season may have sailed wide right, following a similar path to Rian Lindell’s Monday night missed kick. The team is 5-5 and now in dead-last place in the AFC East after coming off an ugly loss at home against Cleveland.

This has us wondering: weren’t these the same Bills who were once a trendy pick to win this division with Brady out? Isn’t this the same team that was 4-0 and looked so promising a quarter into the season? Read more »

The free fall continues. I ended Week 8 with a 4-8-2 record. At 51-61-4 on the year, my goal of a .700 win percentage may seem like a pipe dream, but I wouldn’t go away just yet. Read more »

Some may remember an article just last week where we predicted the 49ers would turn their season and their franchise around with a win in Mike Singletary’s coaching debut.

The score of that game: Seattle 34, San Francisco 13.

While we may have jumped the gun on that one, at least our heart, like Singletary’s, was in the right place. The Niners do appear doomed for this season, falling into last place in the miserable NFC West thanks to two losses to division foes and five straight defeats. San Francisco did not win a single game in October, and managed to give up more than 30 points in every game except one during that stretch (29 to the Giants, which is pretty close). Read more »

Seven Weeks down; ten to go. And the NFL class of 2008 is making its presence felt on Sundays (and Mondays for that matter). Big Week 7 performances from Chris Johnson and Matt Forte showed the fantasy world that these first year guys mean business.

John Carlson caught one for a score for the second straight game and Darren McFadden is still vying to touch the ball in Oakland. The Rams offense woke up in Week 7’s upset over Dallasm which could translate into good numbers for Donnie Avery, while the Jets demise to the Raiders in OT may mean it’s time to give up on Dustin Keller for the rest of ‘08.
