The future of head coaching in the NFL
The NFL currently has three head coach vacancies as Josh McDaniels (Raiders), Frank Reich (Panthers), & Brandon Staley (Chargers) were fired during the season. According to this CBS report, there could be as many as five more vacancies created after the conclusion of the regular season, and even that figure might be optimistic.

Arthur Blank should fire everyone if the Falcons lose to the Panthers this weekend
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Falcons at +155 odds (37% chance) of winning the NFC South after their devastating 29-25 home loss to the Buccaneers this past weekend.

Overhead camera footage shows reasons why the Falcons must move on from Desmond Ridder this offseason
NFL talent evaluators want to see accuracy, strong footwork, & a tight spiral on the ball (in addition to several other factors) when evaluating quarterback prospects.

NFL Fireable Offenses (2023)
The NFL has seen its fair share of what I like to call “fireable offenses” this season. That is to say that there are certain coaching blunders which happen during every season that are simply inexcusable, and usually these outcomes lead to staff firings. You will see in the examples below though that this doesn’tContinue reading “NFL Fireable Offenses (2023)”
Where does Desmond Ridder rank amongst NFL QBs after 11 career starts?
Desmond Ridder has been in the NFL for two seasons, and he has 11 career starts to his name after taking over for an injured(?) Marcus Mariota in Week 15 of last year. Quarterback comparisons can commence as we’ve seen who Ridder is at this point. There’s obviously room for gradual improvement over time, butContinue reading “Where does Desmond Ridder rank amongst NFL QBs after 11 career starts?”
How many more starts will Desmond Ridder receive from the Falcons?
The Falcons put a tremendous amount of faith in Desmond Ridder this offseason. They declined to enter the Lamar Jackson sweepstakes, and the team then doubled down by not going after any of the highly touted QB prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft. Will their faith in the second year pro out of Cincinnati beContinue reading “How many more starts will Desmond Ridder receive from the Falcons?”

Football is back, baby! Week 1 of the NFL season begins with the Lions & the Chiefs. That’s not all though, as there are several other great games on the Week 1 docket. For instance, the other primetime games (Giants-Cowboys, Jets-Bills) are appealing. Personally, I’m excited for the Falcons vs. Panthers game as I willContinue reading “NFL Week 1 Games to Watch”
My top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL right now
With the retirements of franchise icons such as Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning, & others in recent years, there’s been a change of the guard at QB.
