The Detriot Lions and The Cincinnati Bengals Have Been Mediocre Forever!

How the Lions & the Bengals were built in the last ten years?   If you have a franchise quarterback, then your team is set for regular season success and to win multiple playoff games for five to ten years. Both the Detriot Lions and Cincinnati Bengals have franchise quarterbacks. The Lions have Mattew Stafford, who they drafted number one overall in the 2009 draft. The Bengals have Andy Dalton, who they drafted in the second round of the loaded 2011 draft. Besides having quarterbacks, both teams have and had talent around their signal callers in the last six to seven years. Mattew Stafford had an all-time talented receiver in Calvin Johnson to throw the ball too, while Andy Dalton has AJ Green to throw passes to since the day he became the team's starting quarterback. Both teams have had solid running backs, with a decent O-line. The two teams have also had defenses with star players. Lions have had players like Ndamukong Suh, Ezekiel Ansah, Darius Slay, Glover Quinn, De...

Six Draft Picks That Will Send Waves Around The League!

NFL Draft provides us surprises every year.   Every year, about six to seven draft selections send waves to everybody in the league. Such selections either send good waves or bad waves. It isn't always the first six to seven picks in the draft that are eye-popping.

Any team can find its superstar anywhere in the draft. On the other hand, teams make bad picks in the top ten selection of the first-round. Teams like Browns have made bad picks in the top ten by selecting players like Trent Richardson number thr...

The New York Jets Should Be Ashamed Of Themselves!

 Every season, fans of New York Jets are always excited. Week one of the season is the time when Jets' fans talk the most trash. They don't talk trash without reasoning. Almost every year, Jets' team is loaded with good young players with lots of energy. Those players give the fans hope for taking their team deep into the playoffs. Then after four weeks into the season, it seems like that maybe the fans were right as their Jets are either 3-1 or 2-2 after highly contested games. After that, the Jets go on a seven-game stretch in which they lose five or six games. With such a stretch, they get to have a losing record, pretty much lose any hopes of making it to the playoffs, and then they start hating on the Patriots and their success. If you live here in New York and you are watching NFL playoffs, then during the commercials every now and then you get to see New York Jets promoting tickets for next year. When I first saw that commercial I laughed really hard, but when ...
