the Giants remind me of what Dallas was like in '89, '90, & '91. Slowly building the core of the team, getting the supporting cast and learning how to win under tough circumstances. Tiki should have a better line in front of him. Imagine his production with a good O line. With Eli, the Giants will be a force to be reckoned with. I am thrilled to no end that they shut out the 'Skins. Really impressive! Can't wait for the rematch Dec 4th between the Cowboys and the Giants. Should be fun to watch.

In that, we are both in agreement. The Iggles are going down fast. Seeing Phily lose always brings a smile to my face.

Dallas is too one dimensional.

Outstanding defense, running game on track with Marion Barber, two of the best receivers in the league in Johnson and Glenn.

You were speaking of a one dimensional team?

yeah...

I have a good friend who is an Iggles fan. Thankfully Penn State is good this year and hockey is back, or else I would be worried that I would find him swinging from the coat rack or something :)

Not sure how they got to 1st in the North...

Simple. You've played the Lions twice.

ohh I know...

I just say that because Eagles fans and Red Sox fans tend to talk more crap than just about anyone else....

Agreed as to the Cowboys defense. Lets see how Barber does over the long haul. Johnson and Glenn are slightly above middle of the pack receivers but Bledsoe gets happy feet way too easy IMHO.

The problem with the Cowboys is Parcells' play calling. When he lets Bledsoe pass on first or second down, the Cowboys win.

Finally the Cowboys had a decent draft. They are finally getting some pieces of the puzzle in place. Unfortunately it appears Julius Jones is too injury prone to be the long-term answer at running back. I expect them to get even better as the season goes on, that is of course if Parcells stops being so damned conservative in the red zone.

Exactly. Parcells thinks first-and-ten on the opponents ten yard line means two running downs, and pass on third.

That's a prescription for three points in this league.

I sure do like the defense. Any time you hold a team to 13 points, week after week, you ought to be able to win.

I wouldn't write off Jones just yet, but he's likely to be playing back up to Marion Barber.

Carolina is the best team in NFC and he has em 10...Pretty much makes list worthless

The NFC is just that bad. Besides, Atlanta is the best team.

Pittsburgh is ranked too high, same for the Patriots.

As soon as Colts go outside and actually play somebody its over for them

The Colts are for real and have a chance to go 16-0. I am not sure they are really that good as much as the other teams are mediocre. The Colts are the only team in the NFL with a solid defence AND a solid offense.

But the Red Sox has something the Iggles don't: a championship trophy and rings to go with it. The next Super Bowl the Iggles win will be their first. They are still five behind Dallas in the East. Another thing. The Iggles are the ONLY team in the NFC East that DOESN'T have a vince Lombardi Trophy in their trophy case. Don't ya just love it?!
