The AFC has a number of playoff issues to be resolved in week 17 and I can’t wait for the games to begin! Two division championships and a Wildcard spot are up for grabs in the wild AFC and the #1 seed could also be in play depending on how things play out on the field. The New England Patriots are in control of the #1 seed at the mome [...]

Al Davis Is The Oakland Raiders

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

Whenever I think about the Oakland Raiders Al Davis pops into my mind before anything else. Like him or not, you must respect the man for what he did for the NFL. He built the Raiders mystic and took castoffs from other teams over the years. He wasn’t afraid to take a chance on players that were labeled as malcontents or busts and wo [...]

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

The Oakland Raiders picking QB Terrelle Pryor in the NFL Supplemental Draft should come as no surprise. Raiders owner Al Davis has always been willing to take a troubled player and give them a chance. The Raiders gave up their 3rd round pick in next years NFL Draft to pick Pryor.

The NFL preseason will get underway with five games tonight and I’m looking forward to watching all that I can! I usually lose some interest in preseason games after the second week and can’t wait for the regular season to start, but not this year. I feel differently going into this preseason for a couple of reasons. I’m no [...]

Where Does Randy Moss Rank Among The ...

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

Randy Moss is one of the greatest WR’s to step on a football field, period. You don’t score 153 TD’s by accident, but he could’ve been better. I’m actually struggling on where to put him on my all time list for wide receivers. In the talent department he stands atop the list, but there’s more to it than [...]

Is Firing Tom Cable The Right Thing F...

2011 Written by BeltwayBoy

I have to admit I was a little shocked when told that Oakland fired coach Tom Cable Raider Nation . The Raiders finishing 8-8 is actually respectable considering they have been cellar dwellers in the AFC West for almost a decade. I thought owner Al Davis would give Cable another season to see if he could build off the momentum and get them ba [...]

What A Crazy NFL Season

Nov15
2010 Written by BeltwayBoy

This has been one of the wackiest NFL seasons I can remember! I think the NFL powers that be have finally achieved parity in the league. You really never know from week to week who is going to beat who and then when you think you may have a read on a team, they take a whipping, look at the New York Giants. How about the New England Patr [...]

2010 Written by BeltwayBoy

I’m pumped that it’s finally here! The NFL Draft is just a couple hours away and the rumors are flying as to who is trading with who and where this guy or that guy will end up. This is the first NFL Draft to be held live during prime time and I bet it won’t be the last. There are several big name players that are on the trad [...]

Cerrato Resigns! Now What?

2009 Written by BeltwayBoy

I’m glad to see that Vinny Cerrato is out as the GM/President of the Washington Redskins! I was a little shocked this morning when I heard that he resigned. It sounds to me like Dan Snyder was going to fire him and let him resign to save face. My bet is that Jim Zorn won’t be given that same courtesy from Dan the man! It also make [...]
