Being that I'm a little impartial I certainly hope you are right! I was very enthusiastic last night, but also saw "LOTS" of room for improvement - missed tackles, blown coverages etc. I'm hoping it was 1st game jitters and a shortened training camp.
The Saints are definitely going to be formidable. Can't wait for Sunday/Monday to see how all the rest of the teams are looking.

Yeah, well their defense and special teams did leave a lot to be desired, so we'll have to see about that.
But if the offense keeps dropping 40+ points on people it may not matter anyway!

Not a good week for my Vikings; okay, I realize that AP's the highest paid running back in the game, but McNabb needs to realize that it's okay to pass the football. 7/15 for 39 yards??? Now I know why you Eagle fans hated him.

Yeah well we tried to tell people, but no one would listen. He's just not very good. In many ways, he's no different than the other QB's who have managed to perform reasonably well under Andy Reid's tutelage, but flopped in other places. I'm not a Reid fan, but even I will admit that he knows how to get the best out of QB's.
But the bottom line is, McNabb is a below average QB at best. In his early days, he could make up for his shortcomings with his legs to a degree, but now he's just old, slow, inaccurate, goofy, and pretty lazy. Which is how you end up going 7/15 for 39 yards.
But don't worry he'll find about a million other people to blame before he finally gets to himself. It's the defense's fault, he doesn't have any "weapons", the receivers he does have are too young, the offensive line didn't block for him, they couldn't get the donuts he likes before the game ... it's never his fault!

I'd put all three Florida teams higher up on that list before Atlanta fans, but they are up there.
There is absolutely zero reason why we should have won, but we did so I'll take it. Dunta Robinson should get a HUGE fine...I could see him getting suspended for a game but he probably won't just because Maclin did end up coming back in a couple plays later.
I hope Vick is able to come back next week. I love watching him play, especially when he was with the Falcons. I just wish he would protect himself some more. His body isn't meant for the punishment he takes (The play where he got knocked out was a freak accident though), and I'd love to see him play for years and years...

Don't count your chickens. They lose enough games this year - which they probably will - they get to draft Andrew Luck, who then gets to be a backup for a couple of years and learn the pro game from Manning. How many teams get two franchise QBs back to back?
They're not going anywhere.

Man what's with our Vikes they seem to fall apart after halftime? They look pretty good the 1st halves but the 2nd halves not sure what to say they give their lead away.

And how many can't miss prospects actually turn out to be "Manning-like"?
They were on the way out of town before Manning.... they will be out the door when he's done.
Loads of trips since 1974...

There hasn't been a prospect like Luck in some time now.

LOL..man, you hate the Colts, dontcha?

Pagan, I will believe in Luck when I see it. The odds are against him. Todd Marinovich could'nt miss either.
And you're right I do hate the Colts. Truth be told what infuriates me more than anything are the University of Tennessee fans who cheer for the Colts over the Titans because of Manning. When he retires (although I wish no harm to him) it will be a happy day here as people finally jump off their bandwagon.

I don't get how in one summer the Falcons can go from a slow methodical offense that drives the ball down the field and wears you out throughout the game to not being able to move the ball at all...

Come on Vikes, 3 out of 3 games you lead the game by double digits going into halftime only to fall apart in 2nd half and lose.

Hooray for the Colts by not embarrasing themselves last night. My how far have they fallen. Word around here is that its a long season. They're right a 3 win season is a long season. How 'bout playing that way on defense every week. Offense still can't score tds. This is painful to watch.
