  1. The Eagles had McNabb, Feeley, and Kolb at the start of the season. They went out and signed Vick despite having a current franchise QB and a proclaimed "QB of the future" in Kolb. That doesn't tell me that Andy has faith in those guys if McNabb goes down and now he signs Garcia too who is going to want to play rather than sign the lower profile AJ Feeley. I think Reid knows Kolb sucks, but their going to give him one more chance before they consider it official.
  2. http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/sixers/20090916_Iguodala_receptive_to_change.html I did this on NBA Xbox sometimes haha. Should be interesting to see if it works. I'm not sure if his handles are quite that good to be a full time point guard though. His passing is definetly good enough though and Iggy at the point lets us put some more shooters on the floor as well as Thad in his natural spot.
  3. He didn't really do much. He should've had that interception, but he wasn't able to capitalize on a terrible throw. I think Bree's is really going to try and pick on Macho in the secondary. Hopefully they don't leave him alone on guys.
  4. Nothing. That's why Andy went out and signed Mike Vick. And now he went out and got Jeff Garcia. Two former pro-bowlers. That doesn't exactly sounds like Andy is confident in Kolb. He doesn't have these pro-bowlers to be 3rd and 4th stringers.
  5. Haha even in my tired state that one got me laughing.
  6. Westbrook isn't worth having at that enormous salary until 2013 when he will not be anything close to the Westbrook of old. Smart move by the Eagles. RB's have the shortest lifespan in the NFL and the Eagles are just being smart by becoming more flexible with that move. On the other hand I'm REALLLY pissed about cutting Baskett over Brown, and also about Shawn Andrews. This is two years in a row now Andrews. Just gtfo the team. Sad an enormous talent has gone to waste.
  7. Awww poor raiders, maybe next week.
  8. If they play at the level they did in Week 1, then yes. I am not going to expect that kind of production every week, but anything close to that is going to be pretty damn good.
  9. Yeah the Saints sure are going to run over the Eagles. The Panthers last year had the best RB duo in Williams-Stewart in years. The Eagles completely shut them both down. The Panthers were the top team in that division last year and didn't get much worse so don't make them out to be some scrub team. If the Eagles secondary plays like it did in Week 1, and it the guys up front can get that same pressure it doesn't matter if it's Jake Delhomme, Drew Brees, or Joe Montana back there. Their going to get wrecked.
  10. This is why Iverson isn't wanted by the contenders. They have to completely kill all team play they have just to accomadate for his style of play(which isn't winning basketball). So Mo Williams is a better player than Iverson too? If you agree with that Real Deal you mind as well admit to Snake winning this. Iverson is not a winner at the point guard position unless you completely build the team around him and at this point you cannot do that and expect to win a championship.
  11. Jordan I don't see Shaq, Kobe, or Duncan getting more than 5 rings at this point. I wouldn't be surprised to see each of them get one more honestly. And if by chance one of them does get 6, there's no way in hell any of them get 7 and beat Michael.
  12. That's only for the starters. Charles Woodson and Antoine Winfield were voted as the starters. Asante was picked by the coaches. Funny how Asante's two pro-bowl seasons have been the last two years(2007,2008) and the way he looked yesterday he will be a Pro-Bowler once again. Cromartie deserved to make the Pro Bowl team in 2007 just because of how deadly he was intercepting balls. Last year he was hurt and wasn't even able to do that. The AP Press also voted Cromartie as an All Pro in 2007 which is the year he got an insane amount of picks. Probably not, but the fact that the Eagle's third corner would start on almost half of the teams in the NFL is remarkable in itself. And New Englands pass defense was terrible last year because their defense was old and crappy. I guarantee you their defense sucks again this upcoming season. All Eagles players in the secondary keep a play in front of them. They never let a guy get behind them unless there's help. It's the reason teams don't usually get those long TD throws against the Eagles and a reason they've had an oppenents 3rd best in the league 17 PPG over the last decade. Jim Johnson told all those guy's that. A FG is always better than a TD so you got to keep it in front of you. Fundamental football dude.
  13. McNabb didn't even need to do much to begin with yesterday. He only threw for 70-something yards and created a lot of plays with his legs....And we still killed the Panthers. I think Vick will definetly be able to lead this team to victory seeing as how McNabb didn't do much and we still dominated. The only worry is next week. I really don't want to see Kolb out there. Sign and start Feeley please.
  14. Yeah that's right I didn't even include Ellis Hobbs and Joselio Hanson who are both beasts at the CB position. Hobbs was starting on "that beast Pats D" for years and doing a solid job. Hanson has proven to be a very solid corner in this league and is definetly the best 4th cornerback in the league. Definetly. I'm sure there are some teams he could even start on. Obviously you've never seen him play if you disagree.
  15. Yeah that's why Samuel made the Pro Bowl last year with the Eagles. Dawkins was below average in coverage for the past few years and it's one of the reasons why the Eagles didn't match Denver's offer. Dawkins brought a lot to the D, but his coverage ability wasn't one of them. And when your alone in a class with Asomugha that means your pretty damn impressive.
  16. Yeah too bad I didn't say INT determines the best CB in the game either. It's still an impressive feat and everyone knows Asante > Cromartie anyway. Noone is arguing Cromartie is an elite CB. There's a reason Asante is voted to All Pro Teams. And for one of those years Asante was on that beast Eagles D so if you want to include the Pats do it for them too. Other than Asomugha last year Sheldon Brown was the only one not to let a TD be scored on him. Not sure if that was last year or the year before, but it is worth noting. Asomugha is the best CB in the game also btw, not Champ Bailey who is overrated in his own right. And that's good for you that you'd rather have a second year player and a past his prime star. Have fun letting overrated QB's like Romo throw for 300+ yards on you while my tandem lets under 100 yards and as an entire secondary collects 5 INT. Even last year the Eagles were 3rd in the league against passing yards so don't say it's one game either.
  17. Maybe the Ronde Barber of 7 years ago LOL. Asante has the most picks in the NFL since 2003 and is an absolute ball hawk. Sheldon Brown had two picks today and looked AMAZING. Both of these guys are also awesome hitters. I'm not sure if there's a pair of corners in the NFL better than them right now. Especially if they play at the level they played at today.
  18. YEAH PEDRO! Pedro absolutely anal raped the Mutts tonight. He wasn't letting them have anything. It was great to see Pedro find the fountain of youth against them considering that organization basically gave up on him. Owned. On another note tonight's win officially eliminates the Mets from the division race.
  19. Too bad you don't have TO to throw to and Philly isn't going to let Patrick Crayton get 130 yards like the Bucs did. It won't be as bad as the 44-6 game, but barring injuries your team is going to get wrecked.
  20. 7 Game Series. Who is the Coach of each team? California :Phil Jackson Texas: Greg Popavich Rosters Texas C- Tim Duncan F- Dirk Nowitzki F- Shane Battier G- Manu Ginobili G- Tony Parker California C- Andrew Bynum F- Pau Gasol F- Ron Artest G- Kobe Bryant G- Monta Ellis Who Win the series? Texas DESTROYS California. I predict a sweep Who wins the MVP? Dirk Nowitzki because Pau Gasol wouldn't have a chance at being able to guard him. Who has the hottest temper? Kobe, he would be frustrated by Battier's defense and cry to the refs in result. Who has the highest PPG? Kobe Who has the higest RPG?[/b] Duncan Who has the highest APG? Parker Who commits the most turnovers? Ellis
  21. First of all, Kolb sucks. They need to sign Feeley. They should've kept him in the first place, but the Eagles front office is too stubborn to realize that Kolb is a bust and they screwed up big time on that pick. Feeley went through traning camp with this team and has been here for years. He is the best fit. Kolb better not be starting. Second of all, an amazing game. Everyone looked great aside from Kolb. THAT PHILLY D just killed the best running tandem in the NFL. They wree completely shut out and McDermott continued Jim Johnson's ways of pressuring the QB and Delhomme was 100% owned. I loved this game and I am so happy. If it wasn't for the McNabb bs this would be a perfect day. You better get the body bags ready for when the Eagles D does to Romo what they did to Delhomme today.
  22. If your a better take the Redskins in this spread. The Giants are favored by 6.5 and I don't think they'll cover it. The Redskins D is nasty and I wouldn't be surprised to see them pull an upset in this match-up.
  23. I can't wait for this game. I am so mothereffin pumped. Ohh man we better tear these guys a new one.
  24. The Bulls are way better. Derrick Rose is by far the best player on either team and is only going to become better as he takes another step further to becoming a bonafide superstar in this league. Detroit has noone like that. Detroit's new additions are players that only play on one side of the ball so their going to be taking another step back defensively. Rip Hamilton is like Ray Allen in the sense where he looks very good defensively when mixed in with a great team, but on a team with other average defensive players on the floor he won't look nearly as impressive. The Bigs for either team are not very impressive, but Chicago has much better defenders and rebounders. Chicago's backcourt blows Detroit's out of the water as well.
  25. Exactly, it was something that kingfish was arguing saying Kobe had to do so much more than Magic because he played with less HOF. Glad to see you agree with us. Yeah but you see I guarantee you Steve Nash isn't rated higher than any other player with two MVP's in the all-time rankings by those that know the game. Probably not even though with one MVP. Magic didn't have those deficiencies that Nash has such as being piss-poor on defense. Despite his two MVP's I don't think your going to see anyone rank him over Stockton/Kidd/Payton who have a combined 0 MVP's. The MVP is a great award to have on your resume seeing as how you were more vital than anyone else to one of the best teams in the league. For the first half of Kobe's career though he wasn't even the MVP of his own team while I believe Magic was from the get-go even with Kareem. Kobe would do better with that team seeing as how it lacks a true scorer and it was actually a team that was built around. It would be tough to find many players other than Kobe who would be better suited for that lineup in the history of the game(MJ and the prime bigmen are the only obvious choices). Doesn't mean Kobe is better though.
