Geno Smith had an unbelievable season at the helm of the Seattle Seahawks offense. In his first year as the Seahawks’ starter, Smith led the NFL with a 69.8% completion percentage and made his first Pro Bowl. Not only that, he set the Seattle franchise record for passing yards in a season with 4,282. One may remember that Smith was an afterthought going into the season. Even though Russell Wilson had been traded to Denver, very few believed Smith would have the kind of year that he did. Geno Smith’s Magical Season Has Come to an End Unfortunately for Geno…

The story of how Mike McCarthy became the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys is one of storybook legend. The former Green Bay Packers head coach reportedly “slept over” at Jones’ mansion in a multi-day interview. As is the case whenever a new coach is hired in Dallas, the team was expected to compete for a Super Bowl right away. Unfortunately for the Cowboys and McCarthy, that was not the case. Dallas went 6-10 in his first season as head coach, having lost Dak Prescott to a severe ankle injury early in the season. Last year, Dallas went 12-5 and…

Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game, let alone in the history of the Green Bay Packers.

It is a simple, yet somehow complicated, story that involves Favre, former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant, and a pharmaceutical company called Prevacus. Brett Favre Still Owes Mississippi for Unfulfilled Engagements It should be made clear that Brett Favre never…

But there were enough positives from the first B1G conference win that…

The Green Bay Packers won 13 games last season for the third year in a row. Amazingly, the team was able to achieve this despite losing many key contributors to season-ending injury. In 2016, Jordy Nelson was award the AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award after missing all of 2015 with a torn ACL. He remains the only Packers player to ever win the award. That is, unless Robert Brooks winning the PFW Comeback Player of the Year Award in 1997 counts. Source: Green and Gold Productions The Packers suffered a plethora of injuries last season. The most…

Jordan Love has been far from a fan favorite ever since the Green Bay Packers traded up to draft him 26th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. It should be noted that Aaron Rodgers, too, was the subject of much disdain from many so-called Packers fans when he was drafted as the heir-apparent to Brett Favre in 2005. It is no secret that that was the reason Love was drafted: to replace Rodgers. Since that fateful draft, Rodgers has won the NFL MVP Award twice. Practice squad quarterback Kurt Benkert captured the hearts of thousands of fans, many of whom…

Edelman told…

The Dallas Cowboys finished the 2021 season 12-5 and finished first in the NFC East. Unfortunately, they lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card Round. That finish was, to say the very least, disappointing for the Cowboys and their fans. As the team prepares for the 2022 season, one NFL analyst, Bucky Brooks, believes that the Cowboys are one of the top contenders to go to the Super Bowl in the NFC. Bucky Brooks Appears on “The Herd” to Talk about the Dallas Cowboys During an appearance on “The Herd,” Bucky Brooks had this to say about…
