The Packers have signed Jim Bates as defensive coordinator. Hopefully this will help their defense.

has Brett Favre retired? I really thought he would after this season.

	26-01-2005 01:56									#243
	Suffering from ads?

He is at his home in Louisiana and will continue to stay there for a few weeks I think. He has not decided whether he will continue playing or if he will retire. I don't know if he will, but he's definitely not the start QB he once was.

I hate Philadelphia. I hate their raucous fans who don't have the decency to shut the **** up when a player is injured. I was so happy being in PA the last two years and seeing their faces when the Eagles lost in the NFC Championship game more than once.

If it were the Falcons (or pretty much any other team), I'd be looking forward to an entertaining game and would give the team its due. But its Philly.

Instead, I am fully looking forward to the Patriots manhandling the wannabes.

Go New England!

Well, Maybe God should have spoken with TO's doctor first because TO's doctor has not medically cleared him to play.

TO wants to play anyway, of course.

This whole thing is playing out like the movie Friday Night Lights . I'd rather not see TO in the Super Bowl if he is going to risk a career-ending injury.

TO is not going to play. Andy Reid is NOT going to go over the doctor's heads on this one. He doesn't want to risk not having TO next year (and the year after that, etc).

We are talking a broken bone here... worst case senario, he reinjures it... no big deal. He would be ready long before camp next year. This doesn't look like one of the those "possible career-ending injury" situations if he plays. The real question is, could he be effective. I think Reid will play him if he thinks he will be of some value to the team. If he sees him limping and not able to make cuts... he probably won't play him.

On the best QBs of all time list, Brady and Manning are both probably in the top ten, and with another Superbowl victory, I'd put Brady at least close to the top five. But Montana, Elway, and Young still will be top three for a while to come.

Probably Starr or Aikman 6th. Did Aikman win three or four Superbowls?

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Aikman won 2, IIRC. One against Buffalo and one against Pittsburgh. Frankly I wouldn't have him higher than Fouts, Staubach, Anderson, and perhaps Namath. I think that team was just loaded on offense and the focus was the running game with Emmitt Smith, one of the top 5 RBs of all time.

He'll be effective in confusing the defense if they just throw him out there from time-to-time just to run routes.

Once. Maybe twice, but no more than that if he isn't running well.

TO isn't gonna matter that much. Westbrook is absolutely essential to Eagles success now, and if the Pats contain him, the Eagles have no chance.

Not a chance, NE will either win or lose in the final seconds, just like before.

I predict , they lose.

ACK!

The thing that concerns me is turnovers. The Eagles have scored quite a bit off of other teams turnovers. Several of their wins are due to a momentum shift capitalizing on a turnover. Problem is that NE does not turn the ball over that much.

NE doesn't fumble, and Brady is excellent about not throwing interceptions in the playoffs.

On the other side of the ball, they force all sorts of turnovers. Against the Colts, Bruschi just ripped the ball out of James's hands. And then there are Rodney Harrison interceptions...

While I think NE is going to win and win big, I note the last two Superbowls with NE in them were very close. Both went down to the final minute to be decided.

Philidelphia has been the best team in the NFC for years now. But they have always seemed to choke in the "big" game. I wonder why? McNabb? Has he reached the level where he can play well under a lot of pressure?

The Eagles had injuries and flaws that were exposed in those big games. They still have some, but they have actually gotten better each year.
