Apparently REALITY disagrees with you. Clinton Portis is rated within the top five by virtually every professional sports site that does such rankings. Plus, rushing for close to 150 yards and a score on less than 30 carries is a nice feat. But - hey! - according to you, Kevan Barlow and Travis Minor are no less a back!
Bailey is a great cover corner, one of the best, but as many Washingtonians will attest to, he can be quite inconsistent. He's definite a premiere corner (no doubt) but the best? Nah.
Olandis Gary never rushed for more than 1,200 yards. Ever. Mike Anderson never rushed for 1,500 yards or over, for that matter. He came close. Neither back rushed for over 700 yards after their first season. Clinton Portis has rushed for over 1,500 two seasons in a row. He has a 5.5 YPC average for both seasons. Neither back can claim that.
Neutered defense? They lost Warren Sapp and John Lynch. Sapp had five total sacks last year and was adequate at best. Tampa Bay still has two of the best defensive linemen in the game in Anthony McFarland and Simeon Rice. The Bucs defense also ranks within the top ten by virtually all professional sports sites that do such rankings. You're braindead.
Where is that giant rolleyes emoticon?
Finally. We agree on something.
Champ Bailey was also not going to play for the Washington Redskins? Your point?
Two teams swapped players that are within the top five in their respective positions that were disgruntled with their respective organizations. Both seem to have filled the holes, with Denver using a talent committee of players in Griffin, Tatum Bell and Garrison Hearts and Washington signing Shawn Springs and drafted Sean Taylor.
Good mutual trade.

1540, 12 TD.
Mark that down.
edit: Mike Anderson ran for 1487 yards in his rookie year, close enough to 1500. He only started in 7 games in his second year, and had nearly 700 yards. I was mistaken about Gary, he ran for about 1200. Still pretty damned impressive for a mediocre at best back.

What was that? Did they say that on air?
My game = realism. I am the true sim player.
Anyway can someone tell the media to shut up about the eagles not having a run game. Westbrook is one of the best in the league. He looked unstoppable out there today, like Faulk in his prime. As much as the ref's tried to keep the game close the giants just didnt stand a chance. If healty is there a better offense in the nfl?FrenchMovieTheme said:
That first half wasn't luck and you know it. The second half I will admit that iwe pretty much made through by both luck and and stupid mistakes.
I agree with you on the play calling. Some of the plays called in the second half were just downright dumb. I really hope this sort of "mooch" ball calling doesn't continue far into the season and cause us to lose games.
I have to give the 9ers credit for fighting to the end and not giving up.

Edit: haha lynch ownage
Yeah, the Broncos have a very good running back situation. They don't have a Portis-like stud, but you've got to like the depth they've assimiliated to make up for his loss. Tatum Bell could be awesome too. Quentin Griffin strikes me as a Mike Anderson or Olandis Gary caliber player; someone who will have limited success within the Broncos organization. Once Tatum Bell matures, he could be a stud.

Time to run a fake FG. Seems like the right time for it.
