Yes indeed, we have the worst of both worlds!How does 73-0, Patriots, sound?The Belichickmen are playing the Denver Broncos tonight in the latest Game of the Millennium and everything is going New England’s way. Again.Could this be teed up any better? Could things be any easier for your New England Patriots?Of all the playoff scenarios, the Patriots got the one they wanted. No Steelers this time. No Ray Rice. No Rex Ryan scheming. No elite quarterback on the other side.Aside from the fact that Ray Rice could be playing in Foxboro next week if both the Ravens and Patriots win this weekend, this column's a big lump of something awful; we're only a lame song reference or two away from completely nuking this mailed-in hatchet job.

NFL Playoffs: Ray Rice Is Not The Only Weapon For Ravens

Some people in Houston have been so focused on Ray Rice that it can feel like he is the only offensive player that the Ravens have. Rice is certainly an enormous part of the offense–he is second in the NFL in all-purpose yards (behind Antonio Brown who had half of his yards on returns). However, he was not the only one that killed the Texans in their first meeting. The Ravens...

NEW YORK -- Jets coach Rex Ryan says embattled quarterback Mark Sanchez has the support of the organization, and he vows to clean up a team that was in turmoil late in the season. With some teammates and members of the organization anonymously questioning Sanchez's work ethic and leadership abilities in a Daily News story this week, Ryan came to his quarterback's defense...

Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans: The Impact of Ben Tate and Ricky Williams

Both the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans have a premier runningback. Ray Rice and Arian Foster have been accumulating tons of yards this year and their play on the field speaks for it self. But when Rice or Foster needs a breather, two backs are ready to go. The Ravens rely on veteran Ricky Williams to compliment Ray Rice while the Texans do the same with young Ben Tate out of...

Ravens Advance To AFC Championship

The Ravens are bound for the AFC Championship after taking down the Texans in the Divisional Round with a final score of 20-13 at M&T Bank Stadium.

Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens Game Analysis

Going into this game, with subdued optimism, I thought that the Houston would hold their own against the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, they not only held their own but outplayed them in almost every aspect of the game. The two glaring discrepancies for the Texans were turnovers and the quarterback. Otherwise the Texans dominated this game. If you do not believe me check it out for...

Rex shows support for Sanchez, Sparano

Rex Ryan isn't buying the idea that many of his players aren't totally behind Mark Sanchez, a notion floated this week in a published report filled with unnamed sources.

Overhaul needed after internal combustion

The “to-do’’ list Rex Ryan faces after his Jets melted down on the field, then further embarrassed themselves by purporting themselves in an even more unseemly way off of it, is a long one. There are a lot of things that went bad on Ryan’s watch in 2011 that...

Looking for Someone to Trust

We don’t want me coaching the offense.  My expertise lies on the defensive side of the ball. I’m not, all of a sudden, going to think I am going to be Don Coryell calling offenses. That’s not it. I brought in Tony to coach with me and to put an offense in, and I’m not going to hold him back.” “It’s an exciting time for us and the negative...
