I like the Eagles over the G-Men in Sunday’s game.

If the Eagles win Sunday, this division is wide open.

The Steelers are 0-2 vs. the NFC East so far. Big game tonite. A loss here would be very bad news for this team. Maybe Jason Campbell throws his first INTs of the season tonite.

I’ll take that every week. Parker and Holmes on the field make all the difference in the world. The team is much slower without these two on the field. Add Nate Washington into the mix and it’s much easier for them to operate — even when the Redskins really bring it on D like they did last night.

7 sacks, 2 INTs. No yards from Portis on the ground. Game, set, match.

Damn, that Steelers’ D is the straight truth and Leftwich came off the bench throwing like his last name was Lidge. So much for that long windup of his the so-called experts keep harping on. I hope the young man has set himself up with a chance to compete for a starter’s job somewhere next season.

Don’t have a feel yet for the Giants vs. the Eagles because the Eagles’ ongoing trouble in the red zone still have me nervous while the fact Plax abuses the Eagles’s corners every time he plays them doesn’t help my nervous stomach. That being said, the Giants still have a sub par secondary which can be had by the speed of Desean Jackson and Kevin Curtis. Mix that outside speed with TE passes down the seam to Celek and LJ with a good dose of BWest and Buckhalter things could be interesting this Sunday night.

Oh yeah, FLY EAGLES FLY!!!

C’mon Miz, a decent backup, and the Cowboys wouldn’t be so worried right about now. Forget Brad Johnson, Brooks Bollinger? The man who wasn’t as good as Tavaris Jackson? Serves ‘em right.

About to post it now. I was waiting for confirmation.

It’s AI for Billips.

I just heard that AI was traded to the Pistons. Anyone know the low down and that move?

The Cowboys need a true slot receiver to play opposite Witten and open up the deep middle. TO and the Legend are excellent on the outside. Barber and Jones are great. Crayton and Austin, though, leave a bit to be desired. When Romo gets back, it’ll be business as usual times 10. Get ‘em now and kick ‘em while they’re down because Week 11 will be the beginning of some Texas-sized ass kicking.

If they got rid of the ball quickly, they’d have looked great. If they held on to it, as they’ve been known to do, they’ve have looked like pancakes. Giants are tough right now. Mewelde Moore ran well against them, but Ben threw 2 picks…They’re vulnerable to power running and deep passes. They can be beaten.

Wonder how Culpepper or Leftwich would have looked in a Cowboy uni yesterday?

Honestly, I think the biggest weight on the Eagles will be on getting into the end zone. They’re going to have to score touchdowns to win the game. The Giants have done a solid job of keeping teams out of the end zone and if Akers is busy on Sunday, you’re going to lose.

6-3 would look a hell of alot better than 5-4. This game is going to fall on the Eagles secondary. They have to keep the Giants receivers occupied so the rush can get to Manning.

They’ve done a decent job the past few weeks against the run but it has to continue. They have their work cut out for them this week.
