Will the Falcons make a trade to bolster their pass rush?

Will the Falcons make a trade to bolster their pass rush?

It seems like a worthwhile thing to do, but whether Atlanta can and will make a big swing is an open question.

The Atlanta Falcons have one of the league’s most inept pass rushes yet again. I know you’re stunned.

Per Pro Football Reference, the team is 21st in hurries, 25th in quarterback hits, and somehow tied for 9th in knockdowns, but also dead last in the league in sacks with 6 and 27th in pressure rate. Pro Football Focus has Atlanta with the second-lowest pass rushing grade in the NFL, ESPN has them 25th in pass rush win rate,...

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Saints vs. Broncos

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Saints vs. Broncos

New Orleans loses bad on Thursday night football.

The Good: Honoring Drew Brees

Perhaps the only good thing about this game was inducting Drew Brees into the Saints Hall of Fame. Nothing really went right on the field, but the halftime festivities gave us a chance to reminisce on a better time when the Saints were one of the elite teams in the NFL and led by one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game.

The Bad: Defense

The Denver Broncos offense currently ranks 26th in the NFL in yards per game and 21st in points...

Ravens vs. Bucs MNF Game Recap

Action Jackson takes over.

It’s Monday night, so you know what that means, Monday Night Football and this one is between two 4-2 teams, the Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bucs get the scoring started for the night as Baker Mayfield hits Mike Evans for a 25-yard touchdown to start the game. They also kicked a field goal later on in the first quarter giving them a 10-0 lead entering the second quarter. However, after an injury to Mike Evans the Bucs offense stalled out the rest of the second quarter. This allowed the Ravens to take control...

Brian Asks: Bring us your questions about the offseason

Part 1 of this week’s fan mailbag. Bring us your questions!

Hello Panthers fans! Welcome to Brian Asks, part one of your CSR fan mailbag for everyone! This week’s topic of the week is simple: bring us your offseason questions! The Panthers demonstrated in their 40-7 thrashing by the Commanders that it’s never too early to rip the mental/emotional band-aid off and look forward to the forever optimism of an unknown future. While the Panthers have 1 win, there’s not a ton of hope that they’ll win more than two more games at best. So at this point, it may...

Saints vs. Broncos rookie report

Saints vs. Broncos rookie report

How did the rookies fare in their first Thursday game?

The New Orleans Saints have been dealing with an absurd number of injuries this season. As a result, many rookies had to suit up in their matchup on Thursday against the Denver Broncos.

Taliese Fuaga, Left Tackle

Fuaga was once again reliable with his run blocking, despite the overall struggle of the run game. According to PFF, his run blocking was some of the best it's been in his young career with a grade of 70.8.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for his pass blocking. With a...

3 up and 3 down: Run game stays hot, defense gets colder

3 up and 3 down: Run game stays hot, defense gets colder

The Atlanta Falcons had a bad day at the office on Sunday. It’s never a good sign when the head coach says, “we need to wake up” in the halftime interview. The Falcons took a beating but were their own worst enemy. There’s plenty of blame to go around, but a few players managed to stand out in a positive light. Here’s this week’s 3 up and 3 down:

Three Up

Bijan Robinson

Our only beacon of hope yesterday had another explosive showing. Bijan looks better than ever and made light work of the Seattle Seahawks defense. The...

Panthers vs. Commanders game review: Even low expectations were not met

Panthers vs. Commanders game review: Even low expectations were not met

Yet another tough outing for the Panthers signals a need to expect even less from the team going forward.

Well, that wasn’t fun.

The Carolina Panthers are once again considered the worst team in the NFL after losing by 33 points to the Washington Commanders. It is not often that a team loses by over 30 points and the score actually seems closer than it should have been, but here we are.

Honestly, I could break down any number of different elements of the contest for this week’s game review. Unfortunately, any way I can think of boils down to...

The Buccaneers loss to the Ravens Monday night goes beyond the scoreboard

The Buccaneers loss to the Ravens Monday night goes beyond the scoreboard

Questions were answered, yet one question remains: Why?

The Buccaneers dropped to 4-3 on the season after their 41-31 loss tot he Baltimore Ravens Monday night. The score shouldn’t have been that close. Quarterback Baker Mayfield did not play well, wide receiver Mike Evans left the game in the second quarter with a hamstring injury, and the defense never showed up. If we’re being honest with ourselves, the game was out of reach halfway through the third quarter because of how Tampa Bay was playing and not because of what the scoreboard had on it.

So why? Why was Mayfield,...

Buccaneers vs Ravens Week 7 Game Recap: Bucs suffer major injuries and big defeat

Buccaneers vs Ravens, let’s talk about it.

Football is a game of inches, but it’s also a game of quarters. Let’s dive into a quarter-by-quarter breakdown of some Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ football. Tonight, the Buccaneers readied up for a battle against the Baltimore Ravens.

First Quarter:

Starting with the ball in NFL games comes along with a significant strategic disadvantage because your opponent does have the opportunity to steal a possession at the half— If you are going to take the ball first, you must make it count. The Buccaneers won the toss, opted for the ball and made it...
