For all but 12 franchises the book is closed on the 2009 NFL regular season, but there’s still time for a set of week 17 Power Rankings, a look at the playoff prospects of the magic 12, Player and Under the Radar Player of the season and a chance to pick through the murky offseasons [...]
2009 continues to be the season of year of mediocrity, so thank God it’s over! Happy new years people, and what a sombre note to end the year on. Yes the final game of 2009 was a spetacular gunsling-fest starring the Brett Favre of old (AKA Brett Favre!) and the possibly, dare I say it, [...]
This can be done better by people elsewhere, but I wanted to say that regardless of his off the field issues (I’m not absolving him of convicted crimes like some seem ready to do), on his day Chris Henry could ball. It’s the job of those who know him better to really say whether he [...]
The NFL sucks this season. As a fan we’ve been treated as usual (New York/Philadelphia was like a Seagal movie, and I looooove Seagal), but as far as quality teams go, the talent is scarce. It’s weird that in a year the MVP award could go to a perrennial QB candidate like Peyton Manning, a [...]
What happened to good old fashioned running of the football? Week 13 of the 2009 NFL season saw just a single running back receiver over 30 carries (Cedric Benson) and shockingly, utilising that talent won Cincinnati their matchup. Why do Jaksonville refuse to use MJD until the fourth? Why isn’t the hottest player in the [...]
Week 12 and Thanksgiving are the beginning of the end for the NFL regular season, and whilst there have been very few standout franchises in 2009 – actually there has been exactly three – there has been a whole lot of mediocrity and inconsistency which has left us with a playoff race consisting of an [...]
Welcome to week 11, the last bend before the mad dash down the home straight of the NFL season, destination playoffsville, population…? Well we know who isn’t getting there (read: Browns and Lions), but with the NFC really sucking right now it’s a wide open race. On paper, with just a single game separating the [...]
Best keep a low profile if you’re an NFL calibre running back right now, because the season reaper is out and hunting for victims. First to crock himself Sunday was The Burner Turner who torched his way to 111 yards on 9 touches before a right ankle sprain forced him out of Atlanta’s faltering offense [...]
The NFL rulebook isn’t revisionist. You can’t change it on a whim, so you may as well learn it. That would of been a novel idea for some teams in week 9, or as it’s better known ‘the week of the flag’; Sunday boasted a Falcon/Redskin melee, a Tommie Harris ejection and multiple teams penalty-ing [...]
However tempting it was to copy and paste the word Favre for the next 50 words I – brace yourself mainstream press – thought that other things went on between the end of week 7 and now, the bombshell aftermath of week 8. Okay, bombshell aftermath is a little strong but there are some teams [...]
Week: | Pre | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | Total Pro Sports – Hardly an iconic week of NFL action, just a lot of really good teams beating up on the bad, but mingled in with best and the worst were a few interesting developments. Kansas City bench [...]
Week: | Pre | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Total Pro Sports – When I sat down to write the TPS Power Rankings for week 6 I was looking for ‘the word’. The one word that I could start this whole shebang off with to encapsulate what an epic week [...]
Week: | Pre | 1 | 2 | 3 | Total Pro Sports – After a one week hiatus for the TPS Power Rankings we return and not only do we bring shiny new week 5 rankings, but also a world of change; receivers with new homes, big time injuries, 6 beatdowns, 2 lots of [...]
Total Pro Sports – Let me put my cards on the table: I’m a Browns fan, through and through, but I’m willing to call a dead horse a dead horse. Braylon Edwards’ departure was almost as inevitable as the chance of Shaun Rogers skipping town in the next offseason, a rookie signal caller will be [...]
Week: | Pre | 1 | 2 | 3 | Total Pro Sports – After 3 weeks of NFL action fans of the weaker teams are baying for blood, whilst fans of teams near the top of the TPS Power Rankings are peering over their shoulders as young upstarts like the Saints and Bengals claw [...]
