NFL

Super Bowl 50

The Denver Broncos won there 3rd franchise Super Bowl against the Carolina Panthers. Panthers offense found no rhythm against Von Miller and the Broncos defesne. The Super Bowl MVP, Von Miller followed Panthers quarterback, Cam Newton everywhere. Von Miller ended the game with 6 tackles in total, 2.5 sacks, and to forced fumbles. At the offense side for the Broncos, Peyton Manning didn't have his best game. He didn't throw a touchdown, he had a interception, and threw for less than 150 yards. Cam Newton didn't have a horrible game but he had a bad game. He didn't throw a touchdown but had 265 yards. Cam Newton received a lot of hate for walking out of of the press conference after the game. The Panthers had one of the best seasons in NFL history and look to make the Super Bowl next year again. While Peyton Manning is deciding to retire from the NFL. 






Why the 49ers are the Worst Team in the NFL

The worst team in the NFL today is the San Francisco 49ers.    Since the NFC Championship game two years ago they have been slowly but surely deteriorating and now are horrible.  Statistically they have one of the worst win-loss records in the NFL and have scored a terribly low amount of points.  Several examples that demonstrate their demise are their games against the Cardinals, Seahawks, and Steelers.  One of the main reasons that explain why they are so bad is the loss of so many of their best players.

9 games into the season the 49ers are 3-6.  They have double the amount of losses as wins.  Only 6 teams have a worse record and it’s by only one game.  The 49ers have the worst points-per-game average in the NFL at 14. 
That is hideous for an NFL team through four quarters.

Three of examples games that show how bad the 49ers are their games against the Steelers, Cardinals, and Seahawks.   In the Steelers game they allowed their opponent to score 43 points and only managed to score 18 themselves.  While it might make sense to assume the 49ers would play better the next week after such humiliating defeat, they didn’t.  Instead they allowed their opposition the cardinals to score 47 points and only put up 7.  The 49ers have continued to display their incompetence as an NFL team by scoring only 3 points against the Packers and Seahawks.

Several more reasons show why the 49ers are the worst team in the NFL.  Last offseason they lost practically all of their best players including Patrick Willis, Frank Gore, their great coach Jim Harbaugh, and many more players.  A team who managed to lose all their best players and coach is clearly a horrible team.  To add to this the 49ers starting quarterback has been benched for a player who hasn’t played in two years.

In conclusion the 49ers are the worst team in the NFL.  That have one of the worst records in the NFL and can`t seem to score points.  Also in several games they have played abysmal.  Lastly the loss of all their best players and the benching of their quarterback show any reasonable person that they are a horrible team.  That is why the 49ers are the worst team in the NFL.

Dez Bryant out for 4-6 Week
Dez Bryant, one of the best Wide Receivers in the NFL, broke a bone in his left foot. He will be out for 4 to 6 weeks. Regardless of this injury which occurred in the end of the first half, the Cowboys happened to win the game with only 7 seconds left. Dez Bryant will be missed by the Cowboys in the next weeks. They will look to beat eagles week.

3 Things to watch in the NFL Season Opener


The NFL 2015-16 Season Kickoff is only 2 days away. The game takes place on Sunday at 8:30. The two teams, Patriots and Steelers are playing. If those two teams are not one of your favorite teams, here are some reasons why you should still watch it.

1. NFL Season Kickoff

The last football game was 7 months and 10 days or 222 days ago. So if you like football you would probably miss watching it. Regardless of which teams are playing its still the first game in 33 weeks.



2. Tom Brady

Tom Brady, the MVP of Superbowl 49 suspension was canceled which with him playing in it will make it more interesting. The Steelers said that they are happy that Tom Brady is playing and not Jimmy Garoppolo. We have to wait and see if Tom Brady will make the Steelers regret wanting him to play.



3.  Steelers Offense

One of the better offenses in the league are not going to have Le'veon Bell, there star running back for the first 2 games of the season. Regardless they still have Ben Roethlisberger, a star Quarterback and Antonio Brown, a top 3 Wide Receiver on Thursday. It will be fun watching them play.

Tom Brady's Suspension
Tom Brady was suspended for 4 games in the beginning of the 2015-16 NFL Season, but on the 3rd of September, his suspension was lifted. For Patriots fans or Tom Brady fans, this is great news. Now that the Deflate gate is finally over, the Patriots can focus on  winning. With their current team and their new WR, Reggie Wayne, Tom Brady has a new weapon and looks to win their 5 ring.

Jordy Nelson Torn ACL

30 year-old, Packers number one receiver, Jordy Nelson had a torn ACL a few days ago. He torn it during practice. He got injured without anyone touching him in a route. Jordy Nelson a top 3 Wide receiver is scary injury for the packers, now Randall Cobb has to step up with Davante Adams behind him. The Packers are still a playoff time with or without Jordy. We have to wait and see if the can cope without him.

Kelvin Benjamin's Injury

In the Panthers practice, Kelvin  Benjamin - a 24 year-old in his second year followed a simple route and got hurt. It looked like a sprained left leg but he got carted off. A few hours later it sas confirmed he would miss the 2015-16 season with a torn ACL. Kelvin Benjamin looked like he was in for a big season. He had a nice catch for a touchdown in the panthers preseason game. This is really bad news for the Panthers who will now try to look for other wide receivers. Its sad to see a player get injured with a torn ACL and worse when it happened in practice. Two years ago Raiders wide receiver  Micheal Crabtree got the same injury in practice. Hopefully Kelvin Benjamin comes back in the 2016-17 NFL season and has a break out season.

Ameer Abdullah living up to the hype

22 year-old Rookie - Ameer Abdullah got drafted by the Detroit Lions in the the late second round. Many people including me expected him to get drafted higher. But during the training camp, the coaches and the people watching him said he played really well. The Lions Staff are really excited about Ameer. In the Lion's first preseason game, Ameer Abdullah had 67 yards in 7 carries. He broke out for a 45 yard run on his 3rd carry.

Giants Want to Sign Aldon Smith

 Aldon Smith has a history of off field problems but the Giants may look to give him another chance at redemption. It doesnt come as a surprise because the Giants are in desperate need if a pass rusher since JPP is out for the season and nobody can do that on the field like Aldon Smith can. Aldon Smith has 44 sacks in about 50 games making him a terrifying player to face on the offensive side. Giants have a history on winning games through defence. Some plyers that resemble are Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul and so on. Adding Aldon Smith would be no surprise but the question is will they? Only time can tell so we will just have to wait and see, What will "Big Blue" do?

   Aldon Smith Released 
Many San Francisco fans were shocked in disbelief when the team let go key linebacker Aldon Smith. Many of us saw this coming due to the fact that he had a 9 game suspension and previous arrests. He was arrested today because he got into a car accident with his neighbor and she called the cops on him. That's not all because of Smith's alchohol problem this maybe the end of football for him as we know it. Now that the 49ers defense is collapsing with many great players retiring this has just made it worse. His dear friend Von Miller an outside linebacker for the Denver Broncos said that he will help Smith get through this. Not a big surprise considering they were both drafted in the 2011 draft only 5 picks apart. All we got to do is wait and see what the 49ers will do with there defensive problem.

Hardest schedules in 2015-2016 season


5. Arizona Cardinals
They have back-to-back games (Weeks 5 and 6) on the road against the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both of these teams were 11-5 last season, and Pittsburgh happened to win the AFC North. It doesn’t get much easier in Week 8, when Arizona hosts the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. The Cardinals end the season with a brutal three-game stretch: at Philadelphia (10-6), followed by home games against the Green Bay Packers (12-4) and Seattle Seahawks (12-4). This schedule clearly wont be a clear road to the playoffs so we will have to wait and see how well the Cardinals play and how much they win.

Prediction - 9 - 7


4. Seattle Seahawks

knowing that its the Seahawks, most people would think this should be easy and they can handle anything but i`m not so sure.Week 2 will see the Seahawks in a rematch of last season’s NFC Championship Game. Only this time around, they will have to face Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (12-4) at Lambeau Field. That’s not easy for anyone. Two weeks later, Seattle takes on another tough opponent from the NFC North in the Detroit Lions. The following week, they’re on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals, a team that finished 10-5-1 in 2014. Seattle will find Week 8 challenging, when it takes on the defending NFC East champion Dallas Cowboys in Dallas. Of course, the season doesn’t get any easier down the stretch. The Seahawks will have to go through two formidable teams from the AFC North in Weeks 12 and 14. The first contest will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers, followed two weeks later on the road against Baltimore. It will not be an easy road back to the top for the Seahawks. But They will probably make it to the playoffs since Head Coach Pete Carroll is still there, Legion of Boom is still controlling the secondary, Russell Wilson is back, and NOBODY can forget about Beast mode running over people.


Prediction -  12 - 4


3. San Francisco 49ers

The Niners will get an early season test in Week 2, when they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers, who finished the 2014 regular season with an 11-5 record and won the AFC North. Two weeks later, San Francisco will play host to the NFC North champion Green Bay Packers. Then, in Week 6, the Niners will be forced to deal with a visiting Baltimore Ravens team that went 10-6 last season. As the regular season winds down, the challenges for the 49ers won’t get any easier. They will play the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 at Levi’s Stadium and then the following week San Francisco will go on the road to play the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. If Colin Kaepernick was ever going to prove his elite status, this schedule could be a good start. We will all see if last year was just a unlucky year or if they are for real and still have the championship caliber team they used to be.


Prediction - 10 - 6

2. Cincinnati Beangals
The Bengals have an easy season opener against an Oakland Raiders and should come out with the W. However, the road will get a whole lot more difficult over the next four weeks. In Week 2, Cincinnati will host the San Diego Chargers, a team that went 9-7 in 2014 but has a lot of potential. The following week, the Bengals will be on the road against a strong Baltimore Ravens squad. The next two weeks will see the Bengals playing in their home stadium. Unfortunately, those match-ups will be against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Seattle Seahawks. The Bengals will have to play many division foes, the season still doesn’t work in their favor. Week 11 will be a challenging, as the Bengals go on the road to take on the Arizona Cardinals. Of course, things may be even more difficult come Week 16, when Cincinnati is tasked with taking on the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field in Mile High Stadium.

Prediction - 9 - 7

1. Pittsburgh Steelers
Right off the bat, Pittsburgh will be tasked with traveling to Foxborough to take on the New England Patriots in Week 1. That’s not an easy matchup for any team, but at least they know Tom Brady is suspended and that should bring some hope in the team. Week 5 won’t be easy for the steelers, as they go on the road to battle the San Diego Chargers. Then, in Week 6, the Arizona Cardinals come to town. This game is sure to be a physical and rough. The following Sunday, the Steelers are on the road to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. The Steelers will get a bye in Week 11, but then it’s right back to the grind. Week 12 will be played against the Seattle Seahawks. The next weekend, Pittsburgh will play host to the Indianapolis Colts. Pittsburgh will end its season on the road against two division opponents. But before then, in Week 15, the Steelers get to play in front a faithful crowd. Unfortunately, their opponent will be the Denver Broncos and their high-powered offense.

Prediction - 8 - 8

Top 5 MUST WATCH games of 2015-16 NFL Season

5. Seahawks vs 49ers Week 11

 The Seahawks are clearly better but these two teams have a big rivalry as arguably the two best teams in the best divison in the NFL. Last year the niners had there worst year under Jim Harbaugh. Their new coach is Jim Tomsula. The 49ers had one of the worst off seasons in the NFL out of all the teams. But it will be interesting the bounce back. The Seahawks in the other hand have nearly no problems. They signed all their start including Russel Wilson which happened a few days ago. They also signed Jimmy Graham, a very talented Tight End. This game might be one sided but the Rivalry will make it interesting.


4. Cowboys vs Eagles Week 9

 These two teams are another rivalry. Both teams are almost equally the same but Cowboys came out better last year. But one interesting move they made, Demarco Murray is now in the Eagles. This is definitely a game changer for the eagles and a big loss for the Cowboys. This game would be interesting seeing Murray playing against his old team.




3. Broncos vs Patriots Week 12

 Two of the best Quarterbacks in NFL history. Tom Brady vs Peyton manning, the 17th time they are playing and might be the last. The Patriots beat Broncos last year and look to do it again. They lost Darrell Revis but the Broncos also lost Julius Thomas. This game will be looking at which quarterback will play better and will be a fun game.



2. Cowboys vs Packers Week 14

 Did Dez catch it? This question was asked a lot after the Cowboys vs Packers playoff game last year. Dez Bryant, one of the best WR in the NFL made a conversational catch in the last minute on 4th down. Cowboys will be really wanting the win. But the cowboys lost the League leading rusher in the 2014-15 season, Demarco Murray and will be a challenge to play without him. This game will be a very fun game to watch.



1. Seahawks vs Packers Week 2

With 5:04 left in the NFL NFC Championship, the Packers were winning 19-7. But thanks to a fake field goal (which turned to be a touchdown pass), a onside kick recovery, and a lucky throw during the 2-point conversion, they ended up winning in overtime with the game winning catch by Kearse. This game is a mutch watch game to see.

             Bobby Wagner back with the Seahawks 

All-Pro Linebacker Bobby Wagner resigned with the Seahawks for 4 years worth $43 million dollars confirmed by ESPN and this also now makes him the highest paid Linebacker in the NFL. Its surprising they got the deal done because of Wilson`s contract worth $87.6 million dollar contract. Signing Wilson for a HUGE contract made signing Wagner a huge challenge. But we al konw its Seattle so they`ll get the job done and they did. Wagner said "It's definitely a weight off your shoulders off the field because off the field you think about it a lot and you wonder if you're going to be here or not going to be here but like I said I'm thankful to them for letting me be a part of this for four more years,". He was also asked weather its important to be the highest paid Linebacker in the NFL and he answered saying "Its important to be recognized as one of the best."

Top 5 most valuable players in the NFL

5.  Andrew Luck

25 year-old Andrew Luck had an outstanding year last year. He threw for 4,761 yards and 40 touchdowns. Andrew Luck had the 2nd most pass yards in 2014-15 season he also finished 1st in passing touchdowns in the same season! He can also scramble. he ended the 2014-15 regular season with 273 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns. Andrew luck is a young star quarterback many teams would want.


4. Antonio Brown 

6th round pick in the NFL 2010 draft, Antonio Brown became into an Amazing receiver in the NFL. He tied with Jordy Nelson with most touchdown catches,13. He also finished the season with 1,698 receiving yards which lead the NFL. Another amazing stat is that he lead the NFL with most receptions which he had 129. The second most was 111 receptions. Antonio Brown is a Receiver that can make any quarterback look good.




3. Marshawn Lynch


Marshawn Lynch lead the Seahawks offense to the Superbowl. The Seahawks most likely would have been 2014-15 world champions if they ran the ball just a few yards away from touchdown. They threw it which ended up being an interception. Marshawn lynch ended the regular season with being tied for most rushing touchdowns. He ended up 5th in most rushing yards. Without Marshawn Lynch, I doubt the Seahawks would have made it to the Superbowl. Lynch is a very explosive player and is a better running back in the NFL.




2. Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers, agreeably the best quarterback in the NFL. He won the Most Valuable Player award in the 2014-15 NFL Season. He lead the Green Bay Packers all the way to the NFC Championship and would have won if they didn't make so many mistakes in the end. He is ended the Regular Season with 38 Touchdowns, just 2 behind Andrew Luck. Aaron Rodgers is the Superman on the NFL.



1. JJ Watt

JJ Watt is the most talented and valuable player in the NFL. He ended the season with 20.5 sacks, an interception, 4 forced fumbles, 5 recovered fumbles, 2 defensive touchdowns including a 80 yard pick six, and 3 offensive touchdowns. These stats are legendary and are one of the best seasons by a defensive player in NFL history. He was the easy pick for Defensive Player of the Year. He also was so close to being MVP. JJ Watt is an amazing player.

Russell Wilson's Big Deal
26 year-old Russell Wilson just signed a mega deal with the Seahawks. He signed a 4 year. 87 million total with 60 million guaranteed! In 2015 he is going to make 21.9 million dollars. He has the 2nd biggest contract in 2015 behind Aaron Rodgers. During the 2014-15 season he had 20 touchdown passes with a 95 passing rating. But he also threw the game ending interception in the super bowl with under a minute left just a few yards from touchdown. Signing Russell Wilson with that huge conract made Bobby Wagner tweet, "Cant keep everyone"

Does this mean that Bobby Wagner doesn't plan to be a Seahawk next year? We have to wait and see.

What is going on with Giants star JPP?

26-year old Jason Pierre-Paul also known as "JPP" has lost his right index finger due to fireworks and suffered implant surgery. Not only this but he also has a broken thumb. JPP isn't the first of the young stars that had suffered due to firework accidents. There had been many many, and I mean many more before him. JPP also said that he will not sign the 14.8 million dollar one year franchise tag until healthy. His broken thumb will take 6-8 weeks to heal however is still expected to play the 2015-16 season.
