Despite a crushing, come-from-behind defeat at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game, the Detroit Lions have many reasons to maintain hope. Detroit Lions Looking To Capitalize On Momentum Of An Impressive 2023 Season Firstly, a nice offseason culminated in the shrewd signings of defensive lineman, Marcus Davenport and DJ Reader and a trade for lockdown corner, Carlton Davis. Secondly, losing minimal key players to the pit of free agency, with only stud guard, Jonah Jackson leaving the team – which the Lions mitigated well with the addition of former Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowler, Kevin…

After what has been a slighly tumultuous offseason ride in the potential trade saga of Tee Higgins, alongside the departure of long time stalwart and fan favorite, Tyler Boyd, the Cincinnati Bengals are certainly looking for some continuity at the wide receiver position in 2024 and beyond. An Offseason Of Change For The Cincinnati Bengals’ Receiving Corps Although former 2019 undrafted free agent (UDFA), Trenton Irwin, made some positive contributions on offense in 2023, and now 2nd year receiver and return specialist, Charlie Jones, seems to have a potentially promising future ahead of him, they alone cannot hope to maintain…

At this point, it does not feel like the football community has a unified take on the state of the New York Giants. The New York Giants Lacking A Clear Identity Moving Forward On the one hand, they have some undeniably excellent cornerstones; a highly regarded, well-liked and offensive mastermind head coach, a formidable left tackle in Andrew Thomas, and a defensive line that can run with the NFL’s best. On the other hand: everything else. A weak secondary and an on-paper mediocre linebacking corps had many holes transiently filled by the genius of now-departed defensive coordinator, Don “Wink” Martindale,…

The San Francisco 49ers must be wondering what more they need to do to finally reach the promised land; a Lombardi Trophy. With no perceivable weaknesses on the roster, outside of a perhaps slightly below par, in pass protection at least, right hand side of the offensive line, the 49ers will have to be rubbing their heads, trying to figure out how to beat Patrick Mahomes.] Kyle Shanahan Cannot Catch A Break In The Big Game Kyle Shanahan has now reached 3 Super Bowls; 2 as head coach of the Niners and the last as the offensive coordinator of the…

The Dallas Cowboys have had a difficult offseason, by almost any standard barometer. A Tough Offseason Worsened By Looming Decisions To Be Made On Key Players Dak Prescott has been the surprise talk of the town this offseason, with his future in Dallas beyond 2024 still very much in doubt, having just 1 year remaining on his 4 year, $160 million deal signed in 2021. Many have started to speculate whether the Cowboys will start to potentially put out feelers for Prescott, and trade him before the start of this season. Yet, even without the noise, it has still been…

Antonio Pierce certainly raised eyebrows when owner, Mark Davis, announced him as the full time head coach of the Las Vegas after a very successful spell as interim HC after the firing of former New England Patriots offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels. Antonio Pierce Now The Man In Charge In The Desert However, after receiving the public backing, and borderline organizational threat of the Raiders’ best player, Maxx Crosby, with many reports detailing the respect and admiration Las Vegas’ players had for Pierce, it became clear that Davis could not repeat the mistake of 2021, where Rich Bisaccia was not retained…

JJ McCarthy has leapt up draft boards, according to reports, at least, ever since the end of the first waves of free agency, as attention slowly starts to move towards the 2024 NFL draft in 10 days time. The NFL Cannot Seem To Unify Its Opinion on JJ McCarthy Although McCarthy was not asked to carry his team the same way Heisman Trophy winners, Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels both did this past season, many NFL coaches and scouts believe the work McCarthy did produce on tape, combined with his evidently impressive physical traits, including a rocket arm, may well…

The writing has been on the wall for the New England Patriots’ quarterback situation ever since Mac Jones was replaced as the starter for former 4th round pick, Bailey Zappe, with just 5 games to go in the 2023. And after Jones was subsequently traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots Looking For Their First True Franchise Quarterback Since Tom Brady Ever since having the 3rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft confirmed at the close of the 2023 regular season, the Patriots have started a meticulous search for their quarterback of the future, in what is widely…

The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2023 season ended in a historic collapse; losing 5 out of their last 6 games after racing ahead to a league-best 10-1 record to start the season after a narrow Super Bowl LVII defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs; yet it seems that the feeling at Lincoln Financial Field – is that of hope. The Philadelphia Eagles Looking To Get Back On Track After 2023 Collapse Whilst the Eagles lost future Hall of Fame center, Jason Kelce, to retirement, and traded star pass rusher, Haason Reddick, to the New York Jets, they still managed to make big…

The Cincinnati Bengals continue to chase that elusive Super Bowl championship. The Cincinnati Bengals Seemingly Always The Bridesmaid, Never The Bride Despite reaching the Big Game on 3 separate occasions in Super Bowls XVI, XXIII and LVI, losing to California-based teams in all 3, the Bengals have been unable to secure a Lombardi Trophy since their inaugural 1968 season. Even though the team has had extended periods of success in 1980s and 90s with quarterbacks Ken Anderson and Boomer Esiason, they never managed to convert regular season wins and post-season runs into championships. In the contemporary era, it has been…
