The Jets have had their chances against the Colts, but NFL Network analyst Jamie Dukes believes that Jets QB Mark Sanchez is making too many mistakes and missing too many open receivers. The biggest transgression, however, is the interception in the Colts’ end zone that left the Jets without any points despite being in easy field-goal range.

The Saints Super Bowl championship was won because of a gutsy call — an onsides kick to start the second half of Super Bowl XLIV. Could this same bravado have ended the team’s championship run?

Apparently overtime is not the only rules that continue to baffle NFL players. Seems that some of them don’t understand playoff seeding, either.

You cannot blame Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh for considering a leap to the NFL. The allure of an NFL coaching gig can be very strong.
But sometimes the grass is not always greener, Jim. This is the kind of thinking that compelled McLean Stevenson to leave “M*A*S*H” to star in his own sitcom, “Hello, Larry”. Sometimes the best job is the one you don’t leave.
