OK guys! 3 more games until the BYE Week.

ahh nevermind

We're in first-place. Of course we're contenders.

I'm thrilled about Dallas' implosion too.



Some fun facts:

The LIONS have scored the most points of any NFC team...126 points. Chargers lead the NFL with 140.

Panthers have only 52 points, worst in the NFL.

McNabb is 3rd in the NFC in passing behind Brees and Romo. He and Matt Ryan have the FEWEST interceptions thrown of QBs who started every game this year, with just 3 each. Somehow, Vince Young only has 2 to be the best in the NFL, but they're a run-heavy team.

Santana is 4th in the NFC in receiving yards, only 1 behind Nicks for 3rd. Cooley is ranked 9th.

As we expected with a Shanahan run game, very little or no drop-off with replacement/backup RBs:

Portis = 49 rushes for 195 yds, 4.0 average
Torain = 41 rushes for 156 yds, 3.8 average


Gano is tied for second in FGs made with 11...leaders have 12.


Devin Thomas WAS 5th in return average with 28.0/return.



Antwaan Randel El is averaging 3.9 yds/punt return for the Steelers, long is 8 yards.

Total = 8 returns/31 yds

vs.

Brandon Banks is 5th in the NFL in punt return yards, despite having only 6 returns. The league leader has 14 returns and another player ahead of him as 11 tries.

Total = 6 returns/122 yds


LaRon Landry leads the NFL in solo tackles with 41, is second by a single tackle in total tackles (52). Of course we know that Hall, Fletcher and McIntosh are also in the league's top 10.



Carlos Rogers is tied for 2nd in the NFL in pass deflections...I guess these include dropped balls.

Are you lost?

Aren't you forgetting someone here?

I guess I did, not intentionally. He'll return to form soon enough.

We'll see. I think he's better than you think he is, but I thought he'd have more than zero turnovers at this point

I don't think anybody would have guessed he would be rocking a 8-0 TD to INT ratio.

The crow is quarter-raw. You want to eat it now?

I think McNabb is doing very well, I just really wish he'd stop missing those easy throws. I'm sure this will improve, and I think it has been improving, it's just that some of those early throws in the GB were ugly.

Still, McNabb is almost carrying this offense and has put up huge numbers.

Pretty much what Eagles fans said all those years.

I do think some of those are a little out of character though. I'm guessing his banged up leg is hurting his accuracy a bit.

Yeah, he did not look mobile at all in that last quarter and in OT. I'm sure the guy was in pain. I'm sure they'll keep a bit mum about this (a la Belichick) but McNabb is banged up.

Let's hope the line can keep Freeney and Mathis away from him this weekend.

yeah thats been the knock on him...west coast offense qb with questionable accuracy maybe not a great fit. But his accuracy on deep throws, better than I thought...

.McNabb is known for those poor throws that bounce to the WR and its probably the biggest knock against him. Sunday I think he actuallu threw a few of those balls into the turf to avoid and INT but the others were just bad passes.

Give me a QB that throws 10 passes...5 in the dirt....3 for 35 yards...1 for 25 and 1 for 55 yards for a TD

Over a guy

That throws 10 passes....2 for 3 yards...2 for 7 yards....2 over the head on long incompletions....and 4 for 11 yards and 0 TD's any day

Because that is what McNabb VS Campbell was...

Facts:
Campbell never makes and completes that throw to Armstrong in the packer game for a TD.
Campbell MOST likely overthrows Armstrong in the long pass against the Eagles when Armstrong went out of boundsI

I have no doubt in my mind,that if jason campbell was out QB at this very moment....We MIGHT have 1 win...Maybe...

MAYBE against the eagles..
MAYBE!

And the only reason why I say that is because our O-line dominated the D-line of the eagles in rushing and pass protection.

Perhaps Campbell doesn't suck so bad,that he prevents the redskins from losing..But then again...he never makes that bomb to Armstrong and we just checkdown against them the whole game.
