Is Duce injured or something?
heheh yeah i'm in work now and i found out that i'm getting my cube moved and not only am i gonna have to share it with someone else, its right next to the front door. :|
no he just held out for all training camp, plus reid is trying to develop the other guys because he will be keeping them next year... duce is gone
My poor Packers. 🙁
The offense is pretty good, though Favre needs to be able to get the long ball going to his WR at least some of the time.
Defense. 🙁 I don't think the coverage is that bad, I think thats a result of the lack of pass rush. I mean they can't cover guys forever. I pray that Ed Donatell figures something out, though I don't have much faith in him personally. But who knows.
Please please beat the Vikings.

The problem with easy schedules is that you never know if they can turn into tough ones. Look at all the teams on top this year and you will find some that were considered easy pickings for other teams that are not nearly so successfull this year.

This is an easy one for me
Bengals, better then expected
kitna has played like a real NFL QB this year barely turning the ball over
Chad Johnson is a machine
Warrick is playing real NFL football for the first time
Our defense has actually caused turnovers this year after only 8 INT's and 0 fumble recoveries last year
only problem has been Dillon who has been injured and talked to much crap...but luckily RUDI has done a good job replacing him
1 game outta first!!!!! with our schedule coming up of Cardinals, Texans, Cheifs, Chargers
Could there be a 1st place BENGAL team??!?!?!?!?!? what is the world coming to
oh well i wont believe it till i see it

They would have to win the division...which is probably the weakest in the NFL. I hope they do though..I feel for the bengals fans.

My team is the Dolphins and other than their season starting screw up against the Texans and Mare suddenly becoming the worst kicker since Ace Ventura (Laces In) in the Patriots game, everything is going as planned. Now with Griese at the helm the Dolphins are gonna go to the Super Bowl.
They're only "real" problem is they seem to just stop scoring in the 2nd half for whatever reason. Shula should come back damn it. 🙁

You keep telling yourself. "Fluke" wins against the Eagles and Giants? They had several red zone opportunities against the Eagles that they didn't convert, the score was misleading, they dominated Philly that entire game. The Giants, maybe it was a fluke if you only look at the 4th quarter where the defense went to sleep, but don't forget the first 3 quarters when they owned every aspect of that game. They won, and are ahead of the Eagles, and will beat the Eagles again, so give up your playoff dreams.

Now that that's our of my season, here is my review.
Cowboys:
Carter is signifigantly improved, but is still a young QB and he shows it. He gets rattled easily, which results in poor decisions. Hambrick I'm not too impressed with, but with the FB Anderson running well, and the occasional speedy run by Cason, it gets the job done. WR's are the strength of the offense, doing very well. Defense is playing great. People aren't noticing Terrance Newman because he isn't getting a lot of picks, but tahts a good thing, QB's aren't even throwing at him. Roy Williams is stepping it up HUGE, announcers are ALREADY calling him a future hall of famer(and he's in his 2nd year). Cundiff is doing much better than last year, and Gowin is doing better than his numbers show. Overall, I'm pretty impressed by the team, they still have a ways to go, but the NFC East is theirs for the taking.
Now, I will review the Eagles. Why? Because I live in Philly.
QB: McNabb sucks. AJ Feely isn't better. You guys are in trouble unless he gets out of this funk.
RB: I wouldn't want any of them on my team. Westbrook and Buckhalter are 1-dimensional, Staley is the best of the 3, but not spectacular at anything.
WR: They suck. Horrible. Biggest weakness on the offense. Thrash and Pinkston both would make a *decent* 2nd receiver, neither is that dominant go-to guy. This year they can't get open, but when they do and McNabb actually gets them the ball, they can't catch it.
Line: I think a line is doing well when it gives the QB .5 seconds to throw, don't you?
Defense: The defense is doing pretty well considering all of the injuries. Defense always carried this team, but they just lost another one on Sunday. If they are EVER healthy, they *might* make the Eagles a decent team again. Might.
Akers: The only guy on this team that is any good right now.

The Steelers 🙁
after the Raiders probably the biggest disapointment in the NFL this year.
MAddox is showing brilliant flares of mediocracy. The offensive line is in shambles. The defense has just played horribly. The running game is in the garage.
Theres still a glimmer of hope with 3 more divisional games left, but one more loss and its over. Then all there will be is hope to finish better than the Bungles.
