Anyway, I'm 4-4.

Ok next week:
New England 20 Indy 13
Carolina 24 Philly 14 (Yes, my upset pick!)

With the SB:
New England 17 Carolina 14

New England 31, Indianapolis 27
Carolina 17, Philadelphia 13

Although, as bad as I am I should probably pick Philly to insure they lose. Please God let them lose.

Even wonder what it's like to have Chris Collinsworth's lips on your ass?

Just ask McNabb.

One of Collinsworth's gems from today:

"You could watch years of football and never see a greater play from a quarterback!"

My reply: Ummm, yeah, he avoided a sack...that never happens! Good job!

It's kind of counter-intuitive, but good running quarterbacks often take a lot of sacks, mostly because they won't throw the ball away as quickly as a guy who doesn't think they can run with it.

Yeah, I know, which sorta makes you question the effectiveness of having a running quarterback, doesn't it? Sure he can get you a first down now and then, but he's going to kill a lot of drives too.

Ah well, the Eagles certainly aren't the first team to be successful with a sub-par quarterback.

Well, I'm 3 for 4 for the weekend, 7 for 8 for the playoffs (Indy messed me up). Still on track with my original SuperBowl prediction, as long as both New England and Carolina win next weekend.

El bumperello.

KC really should have let their defensive coordinator go last season...

Vermeil is loyal to a fault that’s one of the reason why he is so loved… He still didn’t want to can him this time, but he resigned on his own accord.

Are biggest mistake was drafting a bench warmer in the first round.

Well, The Steelers have yet another Offense Cordinator go. Hopefully, they'll replace him with someone who can get the offense moving.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

How many is that now and in how many years?

 

[Crothian]

Not counting whoever the new one is that's like 5 in 6 years. Steelers have the indivdual talent but they just aren't playing as a team.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Ouch I would hardly consider 20 games (16 regular 4 preseason games) as defining rather or not an offense works... I suggest keeping the next one for 2 years and then deciding rather or not it works.
