I'm impressed with the improvements Minnesota has made on defense and their commitment to the run (guess Childress wasn't calling the plays in Philly) but they need a consistent game-breaker at WR (IE: someone who doesn't drop passes).

I'm glad Philly now has a fully serviceable set of receivers, definitely better than anything they had pre-TO. They've had 3 different receivers gain 100yds in the 1st 3 games. And keeping Buckhalter healthy will keep Westbrook healthy and on-track for a Pro Bowl season. But the defense is still relying way too much on blitzes which leaves them susceptible to big plays in the passing game, especially with a lack of shutdown CB's. Also, the Iggles need to develop a killer instinct. They should have pounded the G-men in the 1st three quarters the same way Seattle did and they should have put up 50 on the 49'ers. One more tune up (the Packers) then meat of the schedule starts for them.

That blown game against NYG could prove costly. They could be up 3 on them at this point and no doubt should be. They need to learn to step on the throat in that situation and not reach for their own. [I am also an Eagles fan as well as NYJ. I like green, but not for referee shoes.]

Hummmm....not that basketball in this country has many particulary good examples now -- but if football is so special and Terrell Owens is considered one of the very best at being special, I won't blame the rest of the world for not caring too much about the sport.

A Dallas paper is reporting that TO's "reaction" to the pain pills was caused by intentionally taking 45 of them at once.

mick,
The Lions showed a good defensive front against the Seahawks...and look what the Seahawks did to the New York Football Giants' defense. (42-3 in the 3rd Qt.)

Seahawks should be tested Sunday night vs. Chicago (Nationally televised)
NBC 5:15 PST

Even w/o MVP Shaun Alexander...the offense will be formidable with their new "Fantastic Four" wide receiver set that includes former Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch.

He wasn't the only player going both ways back then, but he got the most publicity because he did it in the playoffs. Back then, the playoffs consisted of <b>one</b> game iirc- the championship game.

Yet, the GM hand-selects those players who consistently drop the passes and miss the tackles. In fact, the GM uses first-round draft choices in three consecutive seasons to hand-select those players who consistently drop the passes.

Yeah, but who keeps bringing in the types of players who consistently drop passes and miss tackles? You've gone through coaches, you've gone through QB's, you've had high draft picks every year, yet you have the same result. It's time to look at management. The Lions used to be a fun team to watch back in the 80's & 90's, now they are boring and bad.

Millen needs to go.

Both the Williams boys will be playing very soon. ;)
And it seems to me Millen's second and third picks are historically sound linemen and line backers.

The Bears better do a better job then they are doing right now. If they do not start playing some offense, the will lose this game. I always said it was too early to start getting tickets for the Super Bowl.

Or maybe the Arizona Cardinals have the worst offensive line in the history of the NFL. The Edge had 6 carries for 25yds on the first drive. He finished with 55yds/36 carries. That's 30 rushes for 30 yds after the opening drive. That is pitifull. All that talent at the skill positions and a pretty good, ball-hawking, hard-hitting defense. All of it is going to waste b/c their O-line couldn't create holes against the Northern Arizona University.

Arizona better trade up for the best OL in the next year's draft and sign at least 2 OL in free agency.

Nah. It's bad, but not that bad. Heck, their O-line isn't even as bad as last year's Houston line. David Carr spent more time on his back last year than Heidi Fleiss. And neither one of those is as bad as the first installment of the Tampa Bay Bucs' line when they went 0-14.

Raymond Tue Oct 17, 2006 03:45pm
Jim Fassel resigned (or got fired) from the Ravesn as Offensive Coordinator. Word is the defense mutinied against his play calling during the Denver game.

Yeah, Lions sorta scored more, but I don't think they beat the Bills. QB Kitna has been sacked 22 times in 6 games... and the offensive line has 3-4 guys filling in for injuries.:o

How to cure the "62-yard FG" headache...
 
As a life-long Cowboy hater I couldn't help but enjoy last night's debacle. In reality, as an Eagles' fan, I should have been rooting for Dallas b/c we have the tie-breaker on them right now, but I just couldn't find it in my heart to cheer for them.

A Cowboy loss and panic at the QB position is great Tylenol to help recover from my Tampa Bay agony.

The only agony greater than that of an Eagles fan is that of us Tampa fans. We have panic at the QB spot. An offense that is consistently outscored by our defense, and a kicker who's longest FG to this point was a 30 yarder. My only explanation for Sunday was that God has a sense of humor and a condo in Clearwater on the Gulf of Mexico and happened to be at Raymond James Stadium Sunday.

Yeah, but at least you have a Super Bowl ring to console you on your really bad days. I'm an Eagle AND Viking fan, so I'm 0-6. :(

As a life-long Cowboy fan (even during the Aikman's 1-15 rookie season), this game made my head hurt. IMHO, Tony Romo is not the answer to the Cowboy's problem. I believe, in time, he will be a major part of fixing what is wrong. But first, the Cowboys need to fix the offensive line so they can protect the QB, regardless of who is back there.

I think it's time for the Eagles to jettison Andy Reid. I don't think he is capable of getting anymore out this team. The Reid/McNabb colaboration needs to break up sorta like the Dan Reeves/John Elway combo parted ways after '92 season. I would like to see what McNabb & the Eagles could do under new direction.

Plus they need to hire a tackling coach.

The Cowboys didn't look good at all but they deserve the playoffs as much as the Eagles/Giants... which is all kind of sad - the Eagles just happen to be peaking at the right time of the season. The Cowboys coaching staff has been caught with their pants down a few times, imo - does not feel like the beginning of any sort of playoff run.

On a related subject, Dick Butkus and his entire family moved near me when I was a senior in HS. His younger sisters then went to my school. One of them told me about the time she met the kid who was the first one to make fun of her brother's name. She referred to the guy as "Jimmy the gimp". :D

Butkus rode a Harley and wore leather when driving. Talk about a scary image - think of Dick Butkus riding towards you on a Harley wearing leather. YIKES!!! :eek:
