Shut the Flock Up: 2025 AFC North Season Expectations

By: Jori Denese The AFC North is always competitive, and this year should be no different — except the drama might reach soap opera levels. Every team has its own brand of chaos, and while the storylines differ, they all come with baggage. Baltimore looks like a regular-season juggernaut destined to fizzle in January. Cincinnati might sabotage itself before Halloween. Cleveland is running a…

By Jori Denese New faces. New fights. Same disrespect. The AFC South’s about to rewrite the script. Overview The AFC South is shaping up to be one of the NFL’s most quietly competitive divisions. While most are quick to crown the reigning champs — the Houston Texans — I believe the division as a whole is undergoing a transformation. Several quarterbacks are entering make-or-break seasons,…

Hurts Has a Ring. Lamar Has Excuses. Why Are We Still Talking About Talent?

In every sport, there’s a moment where objectivity, fandom, and emotion collide. When it comes to players like Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts, objectivity is often the first thing to leave the conversation. One has two championships — one from college and the most recent, a Super Bowl. The other has a resume full of highlights, two MVPs, multiple years of unmet expectations, and just three playoff…

Joe Burrow vs. Lamar Jackson: The Accountability Gap No One Wants to Talk About

By: Jori Denese There’s a conversation that always seems to get shut down before it even begins. A quarterback debate that has less to do with race, less to do with media agendas, and everything to do with performance when it matters most. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Joe Burrow is a better regular season and postseason quarterback than Lamar Jackson. That statement alone is enough…

Are the Jets ready for takeoff?

By: Kyle Edwards Last season, the Jets had a record of 5-13, leading to an offseason of changes. Aaron Rodgers did not perform as expected when the Jets signed him, and he has since been replaced by former Steelers QB Justin Fields. After another season with team-wide performance decline, which led to Robert Saleh losing his job, Aaron Glenn is now responsible for improving the performance of…

Patriot Games: Plotting a Path to the Postseason

By: Kyle Edwards Recently, Joe Milton secured a victory against the Buffalo Bills, enhancing the record to 4-13, prompting Patriots fans to question the implications. The aspiration of acquiring talents like Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter seemed unattainable, marking another setback in a series of disappointing seasons with consecutive 4-win records. However, just a few months later, there is…

This Ain’t That: A Post 1st Rd Blurb

By Jori Denese Why Shedeur’s draft slide wasn’t about racism — and why accountability matters. I don’t think it was hate that made Shedeur fall — and it definitely wasn’t racism. We’ve got to stop tossing around the word “racism” in situations where it doesn’t apply. All that does is water down the impact of the real thing. As a young black woman, it gets annoying. This had nothing to do with…

Chaos, Clarity, and Comebacks: NFC's Offseason Shakeup

With the 2024 NFL season in the rearview the offseason chaos is officially underway. The Philadelphia Eagles may have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, but now the real work begins—reloading, retooling, and for some teams rebuilding from the ground up. The NFL Draft looms large in April, and franchises are wheeling and dealing, making cap gymnastics look like an Olympic sport, Trades, cuts, and…
