Randy Moss says he will not return to the New England Patriots

September 22nd, 2011

admin

The New England Patriots got this season started off with an amazing performance on Monday Night Football against the division rival Miami Dolphins after reigning NFL MVP quarterback Tom Brady had a record-breaking performance with 517 yards and four touchdowns. There were a few question marks heading into this game for the Patriots as not many people knew how recently acquired Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Ochocinco would fit into the mix and if he was the next Randy Moss for Tom Brady.

Unfortunately, despite the record night for Tom Brady against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, Chad Ochocinco had little impact in his debut with the New England Patriots. With just one catch for 15 yards, Ochocinco was basically invisible in his debut and might not have a bright future with his new team and quarterback.

Ironically enough, just before the NFL regular season got underway for the Patriots, former wide receiver and future Hall-of-Famer Randy Moss said that he might return to the NFL. This wasn’t much of a surprise for NFL analysts or fans around the country to hear as the consensus was that Moss just didn’t get the offer he wanted before the season in order to comeback. The recent development was that Moss would only comeback if it was with the Patriots.

Randy Moss

This statement was something that I believe everyone already knew, but was nowhere near a reality as Patriots head coach Bill Belichick seemed like he had already cut his losses by trading the future Hall-of-Famer. With that being said and with the team already acquiring six-time Pro Bowler Chad Ochocinco, Randy Moss returning to the New England Patriots would have been a stretch to say the least, but with reports of the Patriots possibly cutting Ochocinco before the season to save money the option to add Moss was still a possibility.

The one person that was asked about the possible return of Randy Moss and whether or not he was embraces him on the team was superstar quarterback Tom Brady. Even though Brady was fine with and without Moss, the three-time Super Bowl champion and two-time NFL MVP said that he would welcome Moss if he did return to New England.

This was probably music to the ears of Randy Moss as it opened of the possibility of a return to New England, but nothing really happened after the Brady said he would welcome him back and now Randy Moss has said that he is done after being asked if he would join the Patriots.

Reportedly, Randy Moss was recently asked if there were a chance he would be on the field in Foxborough and he had this to say:

“No, I’m done.”

That pretty much sums it up and might be the last words the media or the NFL hear from Randy Moss until he gets put into the NFL Hall of Fame.

NFL Power Rankings: Week 2

September 19th, 2011 admin

#1 Green Bay Packers (1-0)

The defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers got their title defense off on the right foot as they were able to hold Drew Brees and company at bay in Week 1 to get the win and start the season at 1-0.

The Packers offense was incredible in the first half of their matchup against the New Orleans Saints, but their lockdown defense looked like it could use some work and might need a week or two to get back on track. Besides the defense needing to get back to form, the Packers look like the best team in the league with a legitimate shot at repeating.

#2 New England Patriots (1-0)

There were some question marks surrounding the New England Patriots coming into this NFL regular season. Many people were uncertain just how good this team would be after losing to the division rival New York Jets in the playoffs last year.They have gotten off to a great start to the season after destroying the Miami Dolphins with a record-breaking performance by reigning NFL MVP quarterback Tom Brady (517 yards, 4 TDs).

Much like the defending Super Bowl champions, the Patriots need to improve their defense in order to play consistently well this season, but it is so far, so good for Bill Belichick and company.

#3 Philadelphia Eagles (1-0)

As the one team in the league that everyone was curious about heading into the NFL regular season, the Philadelphia Eagles have already started to live up to the hype with an impressive performance against the St. Louis Rams in Week 1.

Michael Vick looks like he has started where he left off and the rest of the Eagles are following his lead, Week 2 will be challenge though as the boys from Philly will face their first true test in the Atlanta Falcons.

#4 Baltimore Ravens (1-0)

The Baltimore Ravens had perhaps one of the most impressive performances of any team in the league in Week 1 as they absolutely dominated the arch rival Pittsburgh Steelers and prov

ed to everyone that they are a legitimate force to be reckoned with this season. Not only will the Ravens be the team to beat in the AFC North division, but it appears that they are a legitimate Super Bowl title contender and could turn out to be the best all-around team in the league.

#5 New York Jets (1-0)

The New York Jets had a tough test coming into the NFL regular season as they had to face off against a hungry and motivated Dallas Cowboys team looking to rebound from a disappointing year last season. With that being said, Rex Ryan and company had their work cut out for them and were able to come out on top with a thrilling fourth quarter comeback in which they outscored the Cowboys 17-0 in order to get their first win of the season and move up the NFL power rankings.

Quarterback controversy in Denver continues after Broncos lose to Raiders

September 16th, 2011 admin

Ever since the Denver Broncos drafted Heisman trophy winner and two-time BCS champion quarterback Tim Tebow out of Florida in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft, the quarterback controversy in the Mile High City has been ongoing and seemingly never ending. There is no question at this point in time that Tim Tebow is raw and rough around the edges in terms of developing as an NFL quarterback, but he is a huge fan favorite in Denver as all the passionate fans of the Broncos seem to want the second-year quarterback under center as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, despite having a big upside and that kind of hybrid quarterback talent that seems to be the future of the position in the NFL, Tim Tebow is currently the third best quarterback in Denver behind starter Kyle Orton and backup Brady Quinn. With new head coach John Fox not particularly impressive the young quarterback that he inherited from Josh McDaniels, there is no real timetable for when Tebow might get under center again for the Denver Broncos.

In Week 1 of the NFL regular season, the Denver Broncos played host to the arch rival Oakland Raiders in the Mile High City and were actually considered the favorites to come out on top. With an improved defense and an offense that looked at least a little bit better than last season, the Broncos were thought to get back on track, but did the complete opposite as they ultimately fell to the rival Raiders, 23-20.

The Denver Broncos definitely had a legitimate shot of beating the Oakland Raiders in Week 1 as they did put a lot of pressure on Jason Campbell and company defensively, but their offense was not as good as anticipated with starting quarterback Kyle Orton struggling all night long.

New head coach John Fox came in with the game plan to throw the football as much as possible, much like the majority of the league in Week 1, but despite 46 pass attempts for Orton, the veteran quarterback only completed 24 of those passes for 301 yards. Any game over 300+ yards is usually considered a good one, but not in Orton’s case as he threw for an interception, lost a fumble and failed to rally the team from behind in the fourth quarter with the game on the line.

Personally, I don’t believe that Kyle Orton did a bad job in Week 1 as he was facing a much underrated Oakland Raiders defense, but the fans in Denver didn’t see it that way as late in the game they were chanting Tim Tebow’s name in an effort to persuade John Fox to make a change.

The ironic thing is that even if Fox made a change at quarterback, Brady Quinn is the next in line as Tim Tebow sits at third on the depth chart at quarterback. Tebow would probably have a better chance of playing running back before he plays quarterback again for the Denver Broncos, but the controversy continues as the fans believe they know best about which direction this team should go in.

NFL Week 1: Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos

September 12th, 2011 admin

Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos Mon. Sept. 12, 2011 10:15 p.m. EST

The AFC West division has been one of the worst divisions in the NFL over the past half decade or so with the San Diego Chargers usually coming out as the division champions will little or no competition coming from the three other teams, but last season things began to change with the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs coming to life.

As of result of the Chiefs resurgence last season, Matt Cassel and company were able to become the best running team in the league and win the AFC West division title. Unfortunately, the Chiefs were dominated by the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the playoffs, but the successful regular season was a big step in the right direction.

The Oakland Raiders on the other hand went on to go undefeated in divisional play with a perfect 6-0 record against the San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos. The success of the season was bittersweet though as the Raiders failed to make the playoffs and became the first team in NFL history to go undefeated in their division and not make it into the postseason.

This year the Oakland Raiders will look to get right back to where the left off against their divisional opponents as they will head-to-head against the Denver Broncos in the Mile High City on Monday Night Football. This will be the one and only time that the Raiders will be on Monday Night Football, so new head coach Hue Jackson and company will try to make an impression and prove that last season was no fluke, but a sign of things to come.

Even though the Denver Broncos were one of the worst teams in the league last season with a pitiful defense and an offense that couldn’t play consistently well throughout the season, this year things might be changing as they have brought in some new faces and a new attitude with new head coach John Fox.

Whether or not the new changes will have the desired effect in the Mile High City remains to be seen, but this team does seem to be motivated with a new sense of purpose heading into this Monday Night Football showdown with this arch rivals. This biggest difference for the Broncos this season will be on defense with a healthy Elvis Dumervil and rookie Von Miller leading the way. These two potential Pro Bowlers could turn out to be a lethal combination and just what this team needs to turn the franchise around.

As of right now, the Denver Broncos are favored to beat their division rivals on Monday Night Football with a -3 point spread. This spread could very well be right on the money, but after the way the Raiders destroyed the Broncos in Denver last year I would go with Oakland to pull off the slight upset.

Take the Raiders at +3.

NFL Week 1: Philadelphia Eagles @ St. Louis Rams

September 11th, 2011 admin

Philadelphia Eagles @ St. Louis Rams Sun. Sept. 11, 2011 1 p.m. EST

The pressure is officially on in Philadelphia as superstar quarterback Michael Vick and company will start the NFL regular season on the road and under the microscope as everyone wants to know just how good this “super team” really is.

Bet on your Favorite NFL Team with Bodog Sportsbook

With all the Pro Bowl additions and the one of the most talented young teams in the league, the Philadelphia Eagles will have a lot of pressure on them to be successful right out of the gate. Fortunately, Week 1 could be a good test for Michael Vick and the boys as they will travel to Missouri to take on the up-and-coming St. Louis Rams.

Image via Wikipedia

Last season the St. Louis Rams showed some signs of life as their gamble to take quarterback Sam Bradford with the number one overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft paid off as the former Heisman trophy winner turned out to be much better than anticipated in his rookie season under center in St. Louis. The rookie quarterback wasn’t able to turn the team around in terms of making the playoffs or even finishing the season with a winning record, but he did come just one game shy of winning the NFC West and making a run in the postseason.

This year no one should be surprised that Sam Bradford can play the position as a starter in the NFL and actually make the St. Louis Rams into a force to be reckoned with in the NFC Conference, but he still doesn’t have the kind of receiving corps he needs to make this offense intimidating. The Philadelphia Eagles will almost certainly look to put a lot of pressure on Sam Bradford under center, but they will also have to be concerned with one of the best running backs in the league coming out of the backfield in three-time Pro Bowler Steven Jackson.

If the Philadelphia Eagles can contend Sam Bradford and Steven Jackson on Sunday, the St. Louis Rams won’t stand much chance of making this a competitive football game. With the upgrades on defense in Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Sam Bradford might have a tough time passing the football all night long and as a result might have to hand the ball off.

The St. Louis Rams will be a good football team this season that could possibly challenge the San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals for the NFC West division title, but they will almost certainly be on the losing side of this matchup as the Philadelphia Eagles will be just too much for them to handle.

As of right now, the Philadelphia Eagles are favored to win this Week 1 showdown with a -5 point spread. This spread is a pretty favorable as I could see the Eagles blowing out the Rams and covering this spread by a mile!

Take the Eagles at -5.
