It took three consecutive years of NFC supremacy in the Super Bowl, an MVP from Green Bay, and a season without Peyton Manning for it to happen, but in September 2012 football analysts across the country were ready to label the NFC as the dominant conference in the National Football League.  The pundits argued that the era of Brady vs. Manning had become the time of Rodgers vs. Manning; Eli Manning, not Pey ...

Not even a doctor could diagnose the issues happening in Philadelphia right now.  In a city so haunted by sports failures, going into the beginning of December, the Phillies have won a game more recently than the Eagles, and they didn’t even make the MLB playoffs. Going into a promising week five game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Eagles fans were giddy.  Not only were the Eagles finally performing up to ...

With the draft in the books and free agency activity slowing, it’s finally time for the first edition of 2012 power rankings. In the parenthesis are my projected records for each time. 1. New York Giants (12-4) The Giants have been relatively quiet in free agency this year. I wasn’t a huge fan of their first round selection of David Wilson, but it wasn’t a horrible pick by any stretch either. Wilson will be ...

Green Bay Packers (11-0)-The Packers spoiled every neutral fan’s hopes for the rare competitive game before Thanksgiving dinner. Baltimore Ravens (8-3)-The Ravens came through Thanksgiving night with their biggest victory of the season thanks to a truly dominating defensive performance.

The way the Packers defense is playing, it can happen on any given Sunday. San Francisco 49ers (9-1)-The 49ers rank 6th in rushing yards and have the league’s most dominant rush defense led by Patrick Willis. They have a quarterback that is not making crucial mistake ...

This week’s edition will feature more of the same, as well as one honorable mention that didn’t necessarily have a bad week, but has found his way on the list. Luke McCown- If it wasn’t for Mojo Drew, this team would be last place and a top candidate for worst in the league. Cutting David Garrard was a horrible decision and I doubt he would have played as bad as McCown played against the Jets on Sunday. McC ...

1.Philadelphia Eagles vs. Atlanta Falcons This is Mike Vick’s second return to Atlanta since coming out of jail, but this time he is the starter.  The Eagles and Falcons are two elite NFC teams as well, and the Falcons can’t afford to start the season 0-2. 2. San Diego Chargers vs. New England Patriots The number one ranked defense last year, vs. Tom Brady and one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL.  ...
