Let Pylons Be Pylons

We take a look at an NFL that seems to be giving us two different leagues for the price of one. In one league we have teams that look impervious and dominant, and in the other league, those same teams lose to underachieving teams or come out in the second half of games like someone switched places with them at halftime. How can we be certain of anything in today’s NFL?

Another underachieving week in the NFL. There were many teams who blew leads or just didn't put their best foot forward. This has lead to a number of teams that are considered to be "top teams" to have mediocre or losing records while other teams have benefited and are riding a superb record coming out of the first quarter of the season.

The sad reality is, the season is already a quarter over! With four games in the bag for nearly every team, we have a much more clear view of how the divisions are shaping up. There are more 2-2 teams than ever and some teams records we find deceiving and some we find overly generous. Join us as we go division by division and give you where we think the teams in these divisions will wind up based on what we've seen so far.

It seemed it was opposite day in the NFL on Sunday; good teams playing poorly, bad teams playing well. It was almost as if anything was possible on this “any given Sunday”. We take a look at a lot of the surprises along with some of the teams that defied the trend.

Week two in the NFL brings us a lot more questions with more teams than ever before being 1-1. Good teams playing not-so-well and teams that were thought to not have a prayer this season, showing up to play. We try to weed through all the parity and discern where the truth lies.

After a week one in which some teams came out hot and others came out cold, it’s hard to tell which teams were truly not meeting expectations and which were just shaking the rust off. What things can we take from the weekend as “sure things”? Are the Patriots really the best team in the league — ESPN thinks so? Do the 49ers have any holes? Has the Cowboys defense finally arrived? Are the offenses of the Jets, Ravens, and Falcons for real? We discuss!

We take a look at the start of the NFL season and give our predictions on which players will stand out and which players will fall flat. Hear our picks for outstanding Rookies, Defensive and Offensive players, Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, MVP, and, of course, our woeful attempts at picking this years Super Bowl match up.

This week on the show we take a look at the games from week three of the preseason. We finally get to see some promise from some teams as they put their best foot forward, while others seem to land on their face.

Week 2 of the preseason seemed to answer a lot of questions about quarterback competitions around the league. Coaches are naming starters and the number of real competitions is dwindling – but were the right choices made? This week we break down which starters have the tools to succeed and try to figure out the teams motivations for choosing who they chose.

Week 1 of the preseason has ended and there is a lot to be hopeful for and worried about for many teams. What teams excited us in a semi-meaningless week of football and which teams really landed flat? What can fans and analysts really gather from looking at this week and what really matters besides injuries?
