For sure, I really do like em this year but still...if the points rack up can Alex Smith respond?
I don't particularly look forward to playing them either.

He won a in a shootout vs the Saints two years ago. KC doesn't have the same downfield threats that SF did, but I woulnd't say no absolutely. My main point though is that I think the Eagles O struggles some against the KC defense. I expect a lot of backfield penetration at C and RG.

That he did, and yall know I like the guy (more than the usual fan seems to) just ya know, I wouldn't want to rely on Smith to do so. Unless he proves me wrong, which woud be sweet.
Hmmm I'll take your word, IDK the strength of the o line outside Peters but no doubt KC is strong, should be fun.

Vick sucks
Edit: Yup, NFC East is toast. We suck ass. By default Cowboys are the best team, and they are weak with the most anti clutch QB ever. Well that's the NFL for ya. Edited by JJLehto - September 19 2013 at 22:43 |

All seriousness, even as a Giants fan I had respect for Reid and McNabb so that whole thing was cool to see.
Hell, I sometimes seemed to like McNabb (and Westbrook) more than Eagle fans here. Until the end he always seemed to get flak, IDK stuff like that drives me crazy.
Fan= fanatic but just makes bonkers when people who have brought your team to success are underappreciated.

McNabb and Reid are the best qb and coach that have ever been associated with the Eagles. I think it's hard to deny that.
Anyway, that game shaked out about how I expected it to. |

I didn't expect that many turnovers from the Eagles. That was beyond atrocious.

Pretty much sums that one up.
And yeah. Last night's game shaped up pretty much how I figured it would. A shame that the NFC East looks so un-competitive this year.

Well yeah not quite that many. But I expected the pressure they got and with pressure out comes turnover Vick. The most shocking thing is that they still had a chance to win the game. |

So my Broncos have some interesting injury related moves coming into Monday nights game against the Raiders.
On the awful side, O lineman Ryan Clady is out for the year. It especially hurts when the guy you protected as a "Franchise player" last offseason is gone before week 3. Kinda like buying something expensive with a no return policy only to see it break the 2nd time you use it. I expect a lot of holding penalties as Winston Justice steps in and will be obsessed with protecting Manning's blind side at any cost. On the good side, CB Champ Bailey is slated to return Monday night...though with the way Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is playing, Champ can no longer be considered the Broncos #1 shutdown CB as in past years. I'd still take him over 90% of the CB's out there, but he's clearly slipping towards retirement. Also returning to practice is TE Joel Dreessen...but the way Julius Thomas has taken over his spot and performed this season, even a healthy Dreessen could be watching from the sidelines or just seeing special teams action. As for being 14 point favourites vs the Raiders...I've seen some crazy things happen on Monday nights in Denver with the Raiders in town...but...I don't think they have much of a chance this year. Oakland could very well take a lead and hold it into halftime but I think the Broncos have too many offensive weapons and will eventually be too much for the Raiders to handle. Anyway, it's always fun when your team gets the Monday night stage with the whole country watching.

It wasn't a fun game to watch. Frustrating i'm sure for Eagles fans. At least next Thursday SanFran is playing the Rams and we should see some better football. Not fun being a Steelers fan either(like myself). They are a train wreck right now and I can't see them getting much better as the season goes on.

Yeah you told me once before people in Philly seem to be more appreciative than Eagles fans in PA (outside Philly) or the fans here in NJ. Which could be, but yeah people always hated on McNabb I certainly am not looking forward to playing KC. Alex Smith takes conservative passing back 40 years but that D is pretty damn good. I wanna say as better teams play em they cant maintain this but we'll see! Thank god for the Panthers...and Raiders and Vikings. Giants should have at least 3 wins this year Edited by JJLehto - September 21 2013 at 10:11 |

Definitely, and it was nice to see the Bengals pull out a W last week against the Steelers on Monday night. |

Eli runs for a first down!! And that was on a 3rd and 10+
We got the new Mike Vick here Holy hell....we must have the worst O line in the NFL. The run game is being tortured (literally) and they are getting destroyed by just a 4 man rush. By the time Eli gets the ball he's already having to elude pressure. And people wonder why he "struggles" sheesh... Edit: holy f**k 4 sacks in the first quarter? Been "rushed" on every other pass attempt, and I think one run attempt has even made it past the line. So 5 sacks in 16 minutes, 5 rushes for 7 yards and when Wilson actually breaks a TD run there was a penalty committed. This is honestly unbelievable. And a missed 38 yard FG. 2PM is an ok time to hit the bars Edited by JJLehto - September 22 2013 at 12:57 |

Ah well, what can ya say?
Things were held together by band aids and rubber bands (mainly Eli) but it had to fall apart eventually. We need to fix this disaster of an o line, replace the secondary and painful as it is....we need to start saying bye to some defensive players that mean a lot but just don't perform anymore. I'll bleed blue till the end but we all need a bailout team to keep from getting depressed tough to go against the Seahawks, clearly the best team but I'll stick with the Niners for the upset. Let's go frisco |

I was a little nervous (again) in that win in Washington today. The Lions can't just end a game, they like to take it to the wire.

No the upset because of course now no one will side with them. Have to keep things hipster and not go with the popular choice of course! Relax relax relax, I spent many posts (because I had to beat all you rabid dogs away) explaining why I like the Seahawks and they are obviously the best team in the NFL (yes even over Denver) so just chill the heck out Edited by JJLehto - September 22 2013 at 21:53 |
