Are you ready for some football??? da sticky

A combination of the two, perhaps?

Wheover said that the Eagles have "all the parts", well, that\'s ridiculous. All they did was get a Wide Receiver. They lost BOTH of their starting CB\'s, and the rest of their secondary was mediocre at best outside of the Corners. Teams are going to be passing all day on the Eagles, and hell, they weren\'t even that good last year. Had to have a miracle to even make the NFC Title game, where they got whooped on by the Panthers.

Now, a team that DOES have all the tools would have to be the New England Patriots. I really want to see the Chiefs get to the Super Bowl, but as long as the Pats are around, I really don\'t think that\'s going to happen. Unless Gunther really turns around the defense and we do end up trading for Keenan McCardell.

See Yuz.

Also... Vinny Testaverde is the best the Cowboys have to show at QB right now... Its going to be another year of horrible offense for Dallas.

thats just your opinon. The eagles look great. McNabb had nobody to throw to last year now he has someone. It should be fun. And they did pick up kerse. And while they did lose there two star corners. Man I think brown will emerge in there secondary and Matt ware will have a great rookie year.

...Well, yeah it\'s my opinion :-P

Well, the only person whose truly goona benefit from the T.O. pickup is Brian Westbrook. Since T.O. will get double teamed constantly, that frees up Westbrook out of the backfield and running the ball to make some big plays. If he can perform, they\'ll be in alright shape. I\'m just saying they don\'t have all they need in order to make it over that final hurdle. Adding an injury prone yet above average Defensive End probably isn\'t going to help, but who knows.

dallas will get past the 1st round this year..we\'ve always had a solid defense and we just needed to get a running back for the squad..we have that now in george..it also helps that julius jones is pretty good as well...and let\'s just hope testeverde stays healthy...i think we\'ll be okay this year...we have great recivers in keyshawn,..bryant & glenn...

as far as the surprise team? i gotta go with the bengals & the texans...i don\'t see the eagles doin anything special..even with the addition of owens i feel the offense still isn\'t that impressive...

Any team with Vinny T as a starting QB will not win anything. Especially now. Dallas\' only hope is that their RB\'s have dominant years and keep the ball out of Vinny\'s hands.

The surprise team will be the Jets. They were hurt last year and their record reflected that. They are a lot better than their record showed and they have added some SERIOUS playmakers on Defense. Plus they have one of the weakest schedules in the NFL. The Jets are going to surprise.

I don\'t know if they will do anything, but I like the chargers team this year.

"And with the first pick in the 2005 NFL draft, the San Diego Chargers select......"

COLT VS PATS
I hate tom brady and I hope they lose but the colts are a couple of cry babies. Well they don\'t have to cry about the pats pushing up on there receivers with the new rules.  So if manning throws another pick to ty law it\'s his own damn fault.

Should be a good game. I expect the pats to win.

In fantasy would you guys play David Car or Michael Vick this weekend?

Carr against San Diego, Vic against San Fran.

I\'m leaning towards Carr.

Vick, SF is terrible.

I\'d go with Vick, just cause even if he is hurting, Carr is very INT prone.

And as for the Eagles having all the pieces, let me point out to you all the pieces they don\'t have:

1) The running game.  There is one RB on this team that can do anything, and that\'s Westbrook.  The man has about 180 career carries and 800 career rushing yards.  That\'s not a lot of work to go off of.  If he flounders or gets hurt, the Eagles offense turns one dimensional REALLY quickly.

2) The passing game.  McNabb is overrated.  I hate to say it cause I like him, but it\'s true.  He had a QB rating under 80 last year.  He had only one passing TD a game.  That\'s a very low number...3rd to last of all QB\'s that were starters all season.  His TD/INT ratio was very high.  His sack number sky rocketed from the year before from 28 to 43.  That\'s 2nd most among QB\'s, which shows holes not only in his pocket movement, something that wasn\'t a problem earlier in his career, but also in the offensive line.  

People point to his bad WR\'s as the reason for all of this.  That\'s crap.  Brett Favre hasn\'t had good WR\'s for years, look what he\'s done.  Same with Tom Brady, Brad Johnson, Jake Plummer, and a bunch of other guys with higher QB ratings.  They all had bad WR\'s and did a lot better.

3) The secondary, as already mentioned.  They relied on it, and they had 2 Pro Bowl corners.  Now they lost both in the same year.  No matter what you say, that hurts.

4) The thing no one talks about...this defense really wasn\'t that good.  They couldn\'t rush the pass, and got Kearse, sure, but what does Kearse do against the run?  Pretty much nothing.  And the Eagles run defense last year was pathetic.  22nd in the league, allowing 130 ypg.  Nothing was done to improve that.

This team may have a lot of weapons now, but they are just using them to mask more and more holes they are developing.

you\'re just pickin\' on mcnabb cause he\'s a brother right?    j/k ..i agree with you fully shocky,...i mean i like mcnabb too..and his numbers last year were dissappointing to say the least..not sure if that has to do with the offensive line, recieving corps or what..but as you pointed out other qb\'s have had mediocre (spel) recievers and flourished..i\'ve watched mcnabb last year & the times that i did watch him..he wasn\'t very sharp at all...hopefully he\'ll pull out of that slump this year...

Yeah man, the fact is, I love McNabb, and I want him to do well.  I love all the Orange alumni
