The QB competition between Alexis and Pey Pey would have been intense.
Harbs: Whoever can throw farther than 15 yards gets the job!
I could see that given the ravens shorter week and the browns haven't come up with their annual undeserved victory yet.

Kap would have won that with 1 hand tied behind his back.
Edit: Fuck Mcnabb is now a host on DNL. Man I dont want to hear him talk about football every week.
My guess is something like 24-13. I have confidence my team can score more than 10 points but that's in spite of our terrible head coach.

I thought the Bills offense was pretty good this year, surprised to see them so low.
I don't agree with the Steelers.
The Steeler O has been pretty good this year. Problem is we can't stop anyone. We were the one team that made Peyton look good this year (though perhaps everyone saw the film of that game and realized he couldn't throw past 5 yards and adjusted, hard to say).
Ben has been lights out though. Hope he continues to stay under the radar. Our team doesn't handle success well. 6 seed and BS SB win here we come!

Sorry man but Vick already called that shit for this year. He is going to get sacked 10 times and have 5 turnovers in the SB but somehow the Eagles will win by 1.

From a purely statistical standpoint, what's the disagreement? Keep in mind that I go into this with the caveat that stats don't always tell the whole story but to keep it simple....bionic77 said:
If you look at it by points/game and they've got the top shelf teams sort of right. 4 of those teams lead the league in points per game at the moment. The Pats are at #10 in that regard. Washington is #1 with 33 points per game so I'm not sure how "quietly dangerous" they are.
Other stats including yards/game, yards/play - The Steelers are a middle of the pack offensive team. Yards per play in particular is a bit damning as the Steelers are currently ranked at a middling 22nd in the league. .1 yard higher than the Jets.
The two categories the Steelers are top of the heap are third down conversion percentage (56%) and Time of Possession (#2 ranked). Points per game also bodes well as your 12th ranked with 25.7pts/game.
Of course stats don't take into account the quality of the opponent's defenses and all of those other great things so it's not entirely fair but as noted from the get go - for the sake of simplicity..
Vick won't even be your starting QB at the end of the year.yankeehater said:

What is DNL?

Daily News Live. He is going to be on once a week as a "football expert" it sucked tonight because they had Ray on at the same time and Don did all the talking.
Yes I can see how this would be so terrible with McNabb pretending to be an "expert"...
Anyway is this a Philly only thing? I want to watch Donnie!

Why are we forced to watch The Browns? Ugh.
So much coverage on the Browns today, but all so negative.
"the lowly Browns vs the Ravens"
"How bad will Flacco beat the Browns?"
Last couple of years the Browns have done an alright job in prime time, bet they play better than most think.
I would take Sheard and put him on Oher all game long.
Frees up space on Sunday for real games.
If the Browns can run the ball consistently, they can win. If the Ravens shut down the run, Cleveland is in a world of hurt.

Yes it is a Philly only thing and it is terrible when he takes away time from the most knowledgeable person on TV. We dont get enough Ray Didinger time as it is.
Vick is the new just winz?
FUUUUUUU
Oh well there is always next year. Congrats on the SB win. It was totally undeserved just like most recent champions!
Just my gut dude. I feel like we will finish near the top 5 in points per game by the end of the season.From a purely statistical standpoint, what's the disagreement? Keep in mind that I go into this with the caveat that stats don't always tell the whole story but to keep it simple....

I was wrong once before though so it is kind of possible I could be wrong.
Also fuck stats. I value my own eyes and judgment.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Thanks. What a terrible slate of games this week.
Edit: We got Billick for our game! YES. I could listen to him talk football all day.
I found that hilarious. At least Hanson won't be punting this week (although he did a great job).
I still expect Minnesota to roll over Detroit, though. The wheels are about to come off this bus.

I dont mind watching the Browns.
Trent and Cribbs are some of my favorite players to watch do their thing.

Vick goes out next week Foles leads the team to the playoffs, then a healthy Vick takes over and stumbles his way to 4 playoff wins while being a -20 in the TO department. So it is written, so it shall be done.

Giants are 7-8 in the regular season plus playoffs against the Eagles with Eli at QB. Eli has only been sacked 4 times though this year, normally when the Eagles beat the Giants it is the Dline getting the pressure.
Terrible matchups for most the part but I get to see the Niners annihilate the Jets, GB v NO, and then Eagles Giants. So not a terrible line up.
He gets his column doesn't he?
I want to see clips of this show. I checked online and I guess they have last night show up with Westbrook. Talking that truth he mentions you have to at least try to run the ball. I would love to see if McNabb opened up about some of the shit he sees now that he had to endure too with Reid. Eagles should sign him as the back up. At least teach Vick how to get fat so you don't fumble and crumble with each hit.

You will be disappointed. They asked Mcnabb about Andy's playcalling and not running enough, but he said that he thought that the Eagles did run the ball enough and the playcalling was fine.

If this were a Giants home game, I'd say the Eagles would likely win as the Giants are just not a good home team. Especially against the division. It's in Philly though and Eli has generally had big games (some of his best) in Philly. I've got a similar good feeling going into this game that I had with the Panthers.yankeehater said:

This is a different Giants team then the Eagles usually face. Your OL is supposed to suck. It is a pretty fucked up move to upgrade it when we had this good rivalry going.

Is there an avatar bet between DM and Ninja Scooter?
Great scheme, good line, explosive backs, mediocre QB and WR corps.

I'll hold off on accepting the current line-up as an upgrade until we face better competition. Diehl is likely to miss this game so I take the Eagles game as a good test for the reshuffled offensive line since the Eagles have a quality front four. If they do perform well, it will only deepen the heartbreak when Coughlin hands the starting RT job back to the Diehl the week after against the Browns.yankeehater said:
As for the "good rivalry thing" - you guys are due to get on the losing end of it. Wellie and I have said it a couple of times, these teams always tend to swap back and forth with these streaks. It's time to put an end to this one!
Im interested to see how Weeden plays. Havent really seen footage of him yet.
Also, Im gonna go ahead now and say Packers offense will look like they did last year against our defense.
On another note, the tapioca in this bubble tea is so frozen it might as well be bubble rocks.

The game is supposedly blacked out in Tampa Bay. Not surprising I guess. It will be shown to the DC area though.
You better hold up your side of the bet!
don't worry Cajun I like youI like cats
Depends on what Vikings team shows up. Week 2 Vikings you have a chance against. Last weeks Vikings? Whole different story.
