Re: Around the NFL week 3

Sorry I'm late to the party, but perhaps some one can tell me if I got the idea down correct:

Skins beat Giants (only won because they had injuries)

Giants beat Eagles (Giants still injured)

So what does that say about the Eagles or Skins?

I really wonder how the media will be able to spin all this. At first it was the poorly injured Giants the Skins beat up on. Then it was wait till the Skins play a healthy team like Dallas. Now Dallas has taken a beating and if the Skins win all we again will hear is the Skins beat up on an injured Dallas team. But wait, the poorly injured Giants just beat up on a healthy Eagles team. Uh oh the media gods will have a fun time trying to figure out how to spin this crap now and still make the Skins look bad.

I had a hunch the bills would win, but still picked the patriots like the rest of america. Glad the bills won though!

Re: Around the NFL week 3

I wouldn't read too much into the injuries of the Cowboys, Giants, or the Eagles. Hey, if you want to go down that road, we have Jarvis Jenkins out, Laron Landry out. No Philip Buchanon and no K. Moore. Cooley has been hobbled.

Bottom line, injuries are a part of the game and the Skins are a pretty good football team.

I totally agree with you, but the media has played it as if the Skins have no injuries and the only reason they keep winning is because their healthy and lucky.

Re: Around the NFL week 3

Anyone else starting to think that the Eagles should have kept Kolb. Guy has a 110 rating on the year and more importantly he stays healthy.

Nope. Because a 2nd round draft pick is better than having a good backup quarterback.

Hard to argue with that logic, but I must say I love the fact that they placed all of their eggs in the Vick/VY basket.

Kolb has actually looked rather average this season. Pressure him and the Arizona offense goes stone cold.

I believe Kolb is 5-7 as a starter, with 16 career TD's and 17 INT's. I think he's extremely overrated. Although he shows flashes he's still an unproven commodity IMO.

That's right Vick, rip the refs. They'll surely listen to you now. And I'm sure the lack of flags has something to do with the fact that Vick is not your normal qb.

Re: Around the NFL week 3

The Eagles being 1-2 just doesn't surprise me. You can't buy team chemistry and they have none...at least on defense. They can't stop the run. Cullen Jenkins and Babin haven't done anything. And the last two weeks their corners have looked average. Plus they have their o-line coach running the defense. To me they really miss Jim Johnson and since he's passed their defense just hasn't been the same.

Re: Around the NFL week 3

I saw the hit that gave Vick his broken hand and honestly that's a typical play in the NFL. If it was blatantly late I'd support his argument but come on, he had just gotten rid of the ball. There was nothing late about it, and clearly Vick is just pissed that that his offensive line can't protect him.
