Gaffney's 2025 NFL Week 1 Team of the Week
(Pass Catcher, LAR)
What else can you really say about Josh Allen on Sunday night, specifically in crunch time, other than that's the exact performance from that guy, in that exact situation, against that very opponent that you'd hope for and expect out of a guy of his stature?

Ravens Fall in a Nailbiter to the Bills to Open 2025 0-1
The loss is a tough wake-up call for the Ravens, who now face the urgent need to tighten up all phases of their game—offense, defense, and especially special teams—if they want to avoid more late-game collapses this season.

An Abysmal Second Half Doomed the Patriots vs. the Raiders, Dropping Their Third Week 1 Bout since 2022
All week, the Patriots (rightfully) highlighted the importance of "winning" the second half of games, and wouldn't you know it, that's where their worst football as a team would come from. Not that it was a spectacular first half from them either, but the lack of a coherent run game, ability to take advantage of good passing opportunities because Maye was either being pressured off the edge or just sailing balls, and the cavalcade of chunk plays allowed...

Can Drake Maye and the Patriots Kick-Off 2025 on the Right Foot vs. the Pete Carroll Raiders?
Over the last seven or eight years, Week 1 has been a mixed bag for the Patriots, but no matter who has headed the sidelines, been the top dog under center, or played on defense, home openers have been a major struggle for this team during the same timeframe. Going into Mike Vrabel's first-ever regular season game coaching the team he played eight seasons for, New England has dropped their last four home openers, as well as five of their previous eight.

Knee Jerk Grades for NFL "Rivalries" Uniforms
The sacred art of professional sports uniforms/uniform design is something near and dear to my heart, so I was a bit nervous when the NFL announced their new "Rivalries" sets alongside Nike back at the NFL Draft in Green Bay.

Gaffney's 2025 New England Patriots Season Preview
The phrase, "taking advantage of bad football," was something everyone gravitated towards in Vrabel's opening presser, and simply looking at the Patriots' schedule, those opportunities should be there.

What are the Key Storylines Entering 2025 NFL Training Camp?
Hard to put into words how insane that is. Patriots left guard Cole Strange tore his patellar tendon in December of 2023 (ironically enough, against these Chiefs) and didn't take a snap for close to a full calendar year, and Simmons, barring any setback, feels set to make Week 1 with plenty of time to spare—superhuman stuff from the Ohio State product.

Jaire Alexander Reignites Super Bowl Hopes for the Baltimore Ravens
Despite recent injury concerns and a tumultuous end in Green Bay, Alexander’s pedigree as a two-time Pro Bowler brings much-needed elite coverage to Baltimore’s secondary. Jackson’s vocal advocacy— “Go get him, Eric,” he told Eric DeCosta, Ravens General Manager— was the final nudge in what has become a statement acquisition for a Ravens defense intent on Super Bowl contention.

Pre-Training Camp 2025 New England Patriots 53-Man Roster Projection
A mix of the Tavai injury situation and the "Mapu position switch" should be the catalyst that gets second-year safety Dell Pettus on this roster. I know some people are intrigued by new safety, Marcus Epps, but Pettus was legitimately good for this team a year ago as a defender and special-teams contributor.

New England Patriots 2025 OTAs/Minicamp Takeaways
In a long, prestigious line of "shifty and scrappy" white wide receivers who are < 6'0" in Patriots history, Eastern Washington's Efton Chism III appears to be in line to take up that mantle for this team in 2025.

Looking Ahead at 2025 NFL Win Totals Post Schedule Release
The one stretch that would worry me somewhat would be from late October through November, where the Panthers draw the Bills, Packers, Saints, Falcons, 49ers, and Rams in succession, but that stretch last year where they gave the Chiefs, Bucs, and Eagles all they could handle in consecutive weeks, then that season finale in Atlanta, gives me hope they can answer the bell against some tougher competition.

The George Pickens Trade to Dallas is just Another Episode of Jerry's World
George Pickens could have eclipsed a thousand yards for the second season in a row last season. But that quest was halted by a three-game absence in December due to being listed on the injury reserve list. He became one hundred yards short of that goal by the end of the regular season.

Gaffney's Way Too Early 2026 NFL Draft Watch List
Downs possesses an absolutely spectacular downhill trigger pull, elite movement skills that translate well against the run and pass, and the physicality and tone-setting ability you'd be looking for. This kid has been nothing short of spectacular in his first two years of college ball and is worthy of all the accolades and praise that have come his way.

Davison's 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Recap
Sawyer is an edge rusher out of Ohio St., and while he doesn't fill an immediate need, he is a very good player and can fill in as a rotational edge rusher or interior defensive end when the defense is in a 3-4 formation.

Souza's Miami Dolphins 2025 Draft Recap
They were clearly very high on Savaiinaea because they paid quite a hefty price. However, he becomes an immediate starter at guard following the departure of Robert Jones. He can also cover multiple positions; he started 10 games at right tackle in 2023 and split time between left and right tackle in 2024.

Patriots Nail First Draft of the Mike Vrabel Era
I wouldn't worry too much about the arm length/wingspan, but I hope Doug Marone can try to get Campbell to get his habit of over-setting in pass protection out of his system pretty quickly. If so, I'd feel even better about him.
