With the final edition of this series, we have one of the most exciting divisions in the league; the NFC North.

Raiders Identity Crises: Khalil Mack and Derek Carr
The Oakland Raiders have not fielded a team with a record above .500 since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers humiliated them 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVII.

Hindsight: NFC West Offseason Grades
Finishing up the NFC West grades, I’ll address the offseason performance of the top teams in the NFL’s most competitive division. Before I start, I’ll take a minute to comment on the year-long suspension of Cardinals ILB Daryl Washington. When on the field, he is one of the best players in the league at his […]
