Well, Pete, I think you gave us apretty good report card this time. Why do the Lions play on Thanksgiving day anymore? They have to have their head examined for playing Matthew Stafford...why? Here's your franchise QB, and let's see how he likes being a punching bag for the Packers. 

If the Cowboys would stop making mistakes, they could have put 40 on the Raiders. As it w

You are being way too kind when saying that the Bears arent playing good football.  The are absoutely stinking up the joint.  As a die hard Bears fan that has tried to keep looking at the stupid glass as half full I have finally had enough of this wreck of a team.  I would love to say its injuries or something like that as to why the Bears are so god awfull but its not.  When y ...(more)

Come on Prisco, you're giving Indy an A for that win? Did you miss the first half when they were horrible on D and not that great on offense? A team should not get an A unless they play a complete game OR blow out a team enough in the first half that it doesn't matter if they ease up in the 2nd with the 2nd stringers.

I also noticed in that power rankings video you have kept Indy #1 w

The Ravens at home on a Sunday night playing a divisional game against a team without starting QB Ben Roethlisberger, Guard Chris Keamouteau, safety Troy Polamalu, and DE Aaron Smith...the most 4 important people for the Steelers, and the Ravens playing against Dennis Dixon only win in OT because of the kid's interception in his first start ever.  I say the Ravens should be getting a C-.

Let me start by saying, this isn't directed at ALL Steelers fans, just the ignorant ones who can't type a post or have a conversation without mentioning 6 Super Bowl wins, and when I say "Steelers fans" I'm referring to these ignorant ones...

The Steelers don't have more championships than other other franchise. In fact, they're not even in the top 3. The current leaders are t

I'm a Packer fan, but to say they deserve an A for this game is more then just a stretch.  The Special Teams play was bad once again coughing the ball up on the opening drive, missing a 43 yard field goal, and giving up 2 34 yard returns.  The offense had trouble scoring TD's in the red zone and also gave up a Safety.  The penalties problem continued, the Atari Bigby block in the ba ...(more)

Why is it that the Cowboys can play a team like the Eagles and beat them but the media either calls it a weak league and but when we lost earlier in the season to the Giants they were on their way back to the Superbowl. I know the Cowboys are the team people love to hate but my goodness what happened to us being just plain Good. I'm not saying we are Superbowl material yet but we are making some s ...(more)

This is a plea to Prisco to start grading teams OBJECTIVELY rather than based on expectations. Please explain to me how the Chiefs earn an A while the Steelers earn a D, when the game went into overtime? Just because a team that normally plays poorly manages to win a squeaker against a good team, they get an A? You gotta be kidding me. Did you watch the game??? The Chiefs were dominat ...(more)

Prisco probably should have said that playoff races are usually a bunch of good teams chasing each other for a few coveted spots, usually while playing a decent level of football. The problem is that even the mediocre 6-4 clubs continually play up and down each week, there are only a few teams that play consistently well almost each week and the rest are basically struggling to put together any ki ...(more)

"Steelers: They outplayed the Chiefs and lost, which will make this one sting. They have had trouble covering kicks all season. The interception was the big play, turning things around in a big way."

They got a D and the Chiefs got an A???  They got outplayed and got an A?  Strange grades indeed.

I am so sorry Pete to douse water on your platonic love affair with Peyton ....but no team ever deserves an "A" when they fall behind 17-0 against an opponent they own...and your "special boy" Peyton throws 2 picks(again!!)

Even your "binky buddy" Manning said they did not play a complete game....... they get an "A" for playing a 1/2 gam

(POLL) I am not a Colts fan, but how can a team that is PERFECT on the season only have a 3.15?  Isn't a PERFECT record equivalent to a 4.0?  if not, why the heck not?  What else is supposed to happen in this league other than win ALL of your games?

Prisco - I usually love your writing despite what everyone else on here has to say about it. However, your argument does not make mathematical sense. For example, you mentioned that the Bengals would have virtually locked up the AFC North if they had beat the Raiders. They would have a two game lead plus tie breaker with 6 games to go.

The problem with that thinking is that it assumes

How can you say that?  Because you read the stats and saw the yardage that McNabb put up?  Or did you actually watch the game?

The Chargers offense was scoring at will and the defense held Philly to a field goal on, what?... 3 redzone situations - one being 1st and goal at the 1 yard line.  So the Chargers went to playing prevent D most of the game.  T
