McNabb is playing very well, he's passng the ball better now than he has , maybe at any other time in his career.

Agree.


McNabb is just an awesome (maybe slight exagg) medium range passer now as he guns it in there fearlessly--he's playing great ball

Bledsoe sucks against pressure as he wears down mentally against it in 2nd half but got to feel bad with TO as asshole teammate--25 yrars ago or earlier his own linebackers, d lineman would have beat the crap out of him. Can you imagine during a close game TO dissing Roman Gabriel with Deacon Jones on sideline or Terry Bradshaw with Joe Greene or even Jack Concannon with Dick Butkus.

Colts just had serious letdown wouldn't put too much into it with exception of missing Corey Simon for season against the run.

Skins will be inconsistent.

Bears 14-2 at worst as team very young and hungry every week thus a letdown unlikely--reminds me of 72 Phins (hate to say it but schedule has only two realtively tough games in pride lacking wateted down NFL charcaterized by dearth of quality QBs in league)

More to say but who cares that Jets' bloom is off rose and a ATS tailspin looming.

this wasn't surprising. Jets have been overrated all season just b/c their final scores have been closer than the games have actually been.

Good point, here in the NYC area, the Jets have been overhyped.

1. Giants defense showing the hell up.

2. Tenn giving Colts all they can handle.

3. Two "defensive" minded teams Jacksonville and Chicago offensively putting 40 or more points.

Reggie Bush getting in the endzone. Although some Rxer's could have run that punt back with the picket fence he had.

Wow I am sooooo glad said that. I thought I was the only one that thought that. Sportscasters were slobbing all over Bush's run but he didnt really have to fake anyone out to get the TD. After one half hearted stiff-arm for an out of position Tampa Bay Buc defender, Reggie was gone.

Guy had 9 carries for 23 yards. Had he not brought that punt back, he had another weak game. Everyone here laughed at me when I said Bush will be nothing more than Darren Sproles or Dante Hall (not even close yet). He's not even in the same breath as the top 15-20 RB's in the league, let alone Deuce McCalister on his own team

Hmm, Im not sure if I can go that far with the Sproles comment (even though it was funny when I read it) Actually I thought he would look more like a Jones-Drew in Jacksonville who was beasting against the Jets yesterday with two TD's. But lets see in 4 more weeks how he turns out before we use the B word people are so freely using on these boards. *smh*

Successful?

Ditka never was...Buddy Ryan was the mastermind behind the Bears Superbowl XX victory...making the Bears the YOUNGEST team to ever win the championship...Ryan left (couldn't stand Ditka)...Ditka never returned to the dance with capable talent and was eventually ran outta Chicago.

He infested New Orleans...only to trade several picks for Rick Williams which went no where, again proving his ignorance to the world...he was eventually ran outta New Orleans.


Ditka's a better shill...while the fans of Chicago continue to this day to worship his sorry ass.

Reggie: 54 carries, 170 yards, 3.1 avg per carry , 0 TD's, 1 fumble (on the ground)

Jones-Drew: 33 carries, 177 yards, 5.4 avg per carry, 2 TDs, 0 fumbles


Reggie: 34 catches, 250 yards, 7.4 per catch, 0 TDs

Jones-Drew: 9 catches, 91 yards, 10.1 per catch, 2 TDs


Reggie - a ton of hype, 1 heisman, 1 scandal, and BS.
Jones-Drew: quiet and better production and not getting a billion dollars
