The Saints fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter at home and looked flatter than a discarded, stepped-on beignet you might find on Bourbon Street. I was a bit surprised when the the Panthers went up 14-0 on the Saints, but they have shown the ability to score quickly, so this wasn't likely to be a problem unless the Panthers' D could stop them for 4 quarter

Wow, there is a whole lot of anti-Prisco sentiment on this site, some justifiable, but a lot of it just plain off-based.  The poor guy talks about how he's claimed all along that the Bengals are for real, and then you see a ton of people saying otherwise.  Have any of you posters actually read his columns?  There are a select number of jouranlists out there who have said that th ...(more)

I personally don't see anything wrong with running up the score, especially when a team is at home.  Give the fans something to cheer about, scoring touchdown after touchdown.  In reality they were getting an offense, that was terrible the week before, reps to gel. That kind of work can be invaluable.  I don't feel a team should have to change the way their offense plays i ...(more)

The grades for the Tampa Bay - Green Bay game show once again the Pete must be using the "Prisco Curve" to grade the teams rather than grading according to a standard based on the NFL as a whole. He seems to grade teams based on how HE thinks they SHOULD have played rather than how the game actually went. How can one team get an "A" (Tampa Bay) and the other get an "F" ...(more)

 I saw the Cincinnati Bengals show once again what I thought all along: They are for real.

Really, Prisco? You thought that all along?  What about when you said this:



That was after the Bengals heartbreaking week 1 loss to the Broncos.  So if you reall ...(more)

Dear Prisco

Please buy Nfl Sunday Ticket, or watch the highlights anywhere, at Espn, Nfl Network. But please watch the games, obviously you don't know what you are talking about, you just read some stats and puts them down however you think it happened. I know you are a hater of some teams, or maybe you don' hate them, and you just don't accept what they are. Pl

Okay Brett Favre, be upset with the Packer organization; but you have some unfinsished business with the Packer fans.  You need to apologize to them for what you put them through for 4 years.  You said that you went to the church prayed before the game in Minnesota?  Well, you'd better stay there all weekend in Green Bay, because there is no place else to hide from the people tha ...(more)

I would like to know why all you people that bash prisco everyday read his articles. If they are that bad then why do you not only waste your time reading them, but why do then have to post about it? Go to espn or foxsports and don't post on here and waste my day by having to read your posts. That being said no sports writer is perfect. Yes prisco does not like farve and I think h ...(more)

Huh... I will never understand how Prisco grades some of these teams.  What's the purpose of having Power Rankings and GPA if they don't match... or even close at times? He has the Cards at 9th in his power rankings and at a 2.24 GPA... Meanwhile he has the 49ers at 22nd in his rankings with a 2.39 GPA... His entire article is talking up the Houston Texans who rank a solid 2.50 GPA accor ...(more)

How do you give the C- to the team that won and a C to the team that lost?  Just because they fell behind early?  So did NOLA and the Colts.  Hopefully that is a mistake, but knowing Prisco he meant it to be that way.  He is a joke.

Seriously, did you want them to go for it on 4th and 11 from the Dallas 32?  Were you watching the game?  The Eagles O-line was not going to hold up on an obvious passing down like that.  At least with the field goal, the Eagles got to kick the ball, and if the D mans up and stops somebody then they get the ball back with 2 minutes left with a chance to run the 2 min offense.  ...(more)

Some of the things Prisco writes to try justify his grades is absolutely fiction.  I mean what part of his colon does he pull this stuff from.  Here is an example from the Vikings/Steelers grades.

The two big turnovers were the difference. Brett Favre had those. The offense had trouble for much of the game. They couldn't get Adrian Peterson going. Th ...(more)

First off, I am not a Giants fan, but it is funny to see so many people jump off their band wagon.  They continue to do what they do best...run the football. 

The Giants will be fine.  The defense has had some woes, and the passing game isn't what people would have hoped for.  The Giants will still win the division because the can run the ball so well.  As winte

(POLL) The Pats were up 38 - 0 with 1:16 to go in the 1st half.  They still had Brady in the game when they took the field.  They lined up with 5 WR's in the shotgun formation.  They remained in the shotgun with 5 WRs for the entire drive.  They went no-huddle and even used a timeout.  As we know, they scored another TD to go up 45-0 with 17 seconds left in the half.

Do most of the people on here have nothing better to do than criticize a writer for handing out SUBJECTIVE grades? It's not like these are official grades that determine the outcome of the NFL season or make one team better than the other. Honestly, why don't a bunch of you morons go write on a site about every game. See how you like it when thousands of morons start flooding you with "W ...(more)
