Over the past week, we've taek look at the teams most likely to miss the 2012 NFL Playoffs despite making it in 2011. With a 50% turn-over rate in the NFL's playoffs every year, there will typically be three teams from each conference that join the playoffs, having not been there the year before. After the vote post yesterday for the AFC, it's now time to turn our attention to the NFC. The...

Last month, after the 2012 NFL schedule was announced, point spreads were released for the games in Week 1. Now, thanks to the folks at Cantor Gaming , we have point spreads for the first 16 weeks of the 2012 season. Is this a bit premature? There's no doubt considering a lot will change by the time these games are actually played. Even so, it's interesting to see how the Detroit Lions ...

I started out this series ( PART I , PART II & PART III ) by looking at the Seahawks usage of '22' personnel - two tight ends, two running backs, and one receiver. We looked at an example of how the Seahawks passed out of this group and also at their usage of outside/inside zone runs. This grouping was used quite a bit by the Seahawks in 2011, particularly more so toward the latter part...

Field Gulls (Kenneth Arthur) —
So I've updated you on the Rams and Cardinals but few of you really seemed to care, immediately jumping to "Can we talk about the 49ers ?" It seems that every teams fanbase in the division believes that they are at war with the Niners and hates the Niners while they're pretty ambivalent about the other two teams that aren't the Niners and I'd say most of us agree. It's been so long since...
