G-Men are the most balanced team in the NFL. Pass rush finally woke up and they are pumelling other QB's. And their offense is firing on all cylinders. Running game is rolling, Eli is getting pass protection and throwing very well. Most complete team in the league IMHO.

They have on the last 3. Two in convincing fashion (not to mention one by a dominating defensive win and the other by a dominating offensive win). Every game they have lost has been inredibly close and down the to wire (3pts in each L).

Honestly I'd toss Packers, Giants, and Eagles in the top 3 right now. Atlanta, honestly means nothing to me. I think its smoke and mirrors. Saints SHOULD be way better than their record, but lots of teams can say that. They have the firepower, will and coach to pull out of it though, and I don't doubt that they will.

If vick had started the first game they would have lost there and they scored 3 non-gift points against the jets. The combined win total of the other teams they have beat is 7, and several of those wins were extremely shakey.

As far as that offensive jugurnaut display, from what I've heard today the cowgirls had a jersey sale prior to the game and it was buy 1 and become one of the starting 22.

I think McNabb has a house and lives part time in Phoenix. I remember a year ago when it was a playoff game or something and some jackass in Phoenix lit his front yard on fire.

Yeah that happened. I know this is the internet and all but I did see him at a gas station near my home in a Phoenix suberb--on Thursday. Would love to have him play for the Cards.

• New York Giants
Five straight wins since the 1-2 start, and the offense has been crushing it for four straight games with Sunday’s landslide win over the Seahawks. Eli Manning(notes) has 12 touchdowns and five interceptions in that span, and give a load of credit to the offensive line and backfield, too. Manning has only been sacked three times in the past four games, as the line has played some of its best football of the season. Running backs Ahmad Bradshaw(notes) and Brandon Jacobs(notes) have found their groove. Before anyone crowns this the NFC’s best team, the defense needs to prove it can slow down prolific teams.


hmm, sounds familiar
 
some bad news for skins fans today --

1. Running back Ryan Torain said he was able to run full speed in practice Monday, though coach Mike Shanahan said it was too early to tell how Torain or fellow injured running back Clinton Portis (groin) was doing. Torain tweaked his hamstring in the Oct. 31 loss to Detroit, but said he “felt great out there” in practice Monday.
“I was out there running plays,” he said.
If Torain or Portis can’t play, the Redskins likely would promote running back James Davis off the practice squad. Davis turned down a chance to sign with Carolina to remain in Washington.

2. Safety Chris Horton was placed on injured reserve after suffering a high ankle sprain in the Oct. 31 loss to Detroit. Horton, the fourth safety, injured his ankle on special teams. High ankle sprains are tricky and often take six to eight weeks of recovery time.

The Redskins promoted rookie Anderson Russell off the practice squad to take Horton’s place. Russell, an undrafted free agent, has been on the practice squad all season.
Washington also signed receiver Taurus Johnson and safety Sha’reff Rashad to the practice squad.

3. Coach Mike Shanahan said the surgery performed on KR/PR Brandon Banks (knee) usually requires two to three weeks of recovery time, which would put his status for the Tennessee game in doubt. Banks underwent surgery during the bye week.
Phillip Buchanon will replace him on punt returns; Chad Simpson and Byron Westbrook will replace him on kickoff returns.
Do we need to say that losing Banks will hurt the return game? Didn’t think so. But it will.
 
None of Detroit's quarterbacks were in the locker room Monday when it was open to reporters, although Stafford later told WJR radio he doesn't think he'll play this weekend at Buffalo.

It'll be hilarious if the Steelers blow a 20 point, 4th quarter lead.

Historically they've never lost a game where they had a 20 point lead...(good statisticians ESPN) but that didn't stop them from trying tonight.

My Pissburg Squeakers barely held on to win...
