Jim Schwartz on Detroit Lions 3-0 Start: “We’re really not worried about where we are, but where we’re going.”

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

How 'bout them Detroit Lions? 3-0! One of the absolute laughing stocks of the National Football League for most of the past decade, it finally appears as if the Lions have built a contender from the bevy of high draft picks they've had in recent years. I've always defended the ...

Solid Defensive Effort Propels Seattle Seahawks to First Victory of 2011 NFL Season

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

The Seattle Seahawks aren't going to accumulate many style points this year. The best they can hope for is  to just win. Their 13-10 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3 sure wasn't pretty on the eyes -- they piled up just 261 total offensive yards and found the ...

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

What to make of the New York Jets through three weeks of the 2011 NFL season? On the one hand, the Jets are 2-1, a perfectly acceptable start. Yet they could easily be sitting at 1-2 had the Dallas Cowboys not gift-wrapped a Week 1 win. I'm sure that Rex ...
