Matt Williamson: MW here. Lets get rolling on the NFC East
Josh (Sarasota, FL): So we all know that the cowboys are gonna win the NFC east but do you think the Wild Card will come out of the NFC east
Matt Williamson: There are a LOT of games between these teams in the division left. That will go a long way to see who falls where. I like Dallas as the winner of the division, but don't etch it in stone Josh! I also think NYG finishes 2nd and gets a WC. Washington as a close third and potentially WC team as well.
Mikey(Lackawanna,NY): Matt, Do you think the Commanders defense will be able to hold the Patriots explosive offense under 30 pts this weekend?
Matt Williamson: It won't be easy. This is the best secondary that NE has faced yet and they should be able to keep up rather well, but NE just has too many options and Brady will continue to find mismatches to his liking. The Pats are going to score and score a lot. I do expect NE to run the ball a little more than in previous games.
Johnny(Queens): Do you think the G-Mens Eli Manning is having a Pro-Bowl season so far? Would'nt that be great to see the Giants vs the Colts in this yrs SuperBowl i mean Manning Bowl?
Matt Williamson: He could go to the Pro Bowl. Thinking off the top of my head who the 3 NFC QBs would be:
Romo is a lock. Favre probably. Kitna? Nah. Garcia. 2 of these three will go: Garcia, Eli and Favre. As for the Manning-Bowl. I don't see it, but I suppose it is possible.
mav (city of dublin): good morn.. when can irish football invade YOUR continent ?? how do u feel about NFL coming to Europe ?? Can the yanks keep up with drink ???
Matt Williamson: Keeping up with drink will be challenging. Not big at all on the idea of playing in Europe. Seems unfair to both teams and one of them (which?) lost a home game because of it. At least they both have a bye, but still-I am not into it.
chauncey (teaneck): Have the Cowboys lost their elite status?
Matt Williamson: Only two teams have that status. Only two.
JOSHUA (FREDERICKSBURG,TX): SHOULD TOM COUGHLIN KEEP HIS JOB IN NEW YORK NEXT YEAR?
Matt Williamson: I would think so! They only have two losses and are in great shape to get into the postseason. Fine work by him.
John Los Angeles: Hey Matt, The Commanders offense isnt that amazing is it? How do they keep it close?
Matt Williamson: For some reason, I don't hear many talking about the Skins' O vs. Pats' D. To me, that is where NE dominates. Huge difference in the game and that will give Brady too many chances.
Chris (Alabama): Matt, got a curveball for you ... Assuming that Game 4 of the World Series is played Sunday Night ... who wins the TV ratings battle, NFL football or the MLB (or does Desperate Housewives regain the throne?)
Matt Williamson: No Sunday Night NFL game this week...so Des HW
Larry (New York): Matt, is there a bigger slap in the face to a 4-2 team with a hall of fame coach being a 16.5 point underdog?
Matt Williamson: Would you bet your mortgage on the Skins? Even with 16.5? I wouldn't.
chauncey (teaneck): will the Eagles go to Kevin Kolb this season?
Matt Williamson: It is pretty clear that McNabb's knee still isn't 100%, so they could spin it in the last game or so (when they are mathmatically eliminated) that they didn't want to put any more strain on his knee. Could see it in a scenerio like that.
mav (city of dublin): the real battle is guiness vs coors light.. think we got u there sir...
Matt Williamson: Hard to argue that point...but I will take our food every day of the week.
Matt(New Jersey): Do you expext Brandon Jacobs to keep tearing it up especially against the Doplhins?
Matt Williamson: Miami is in big trouble and I would expect NYG to get up early. Jacobs is still not 100%, so he could watch a lot of the 2nd half from the sidelines with Ward and or Droughns in the mix. Still, Jacobs will be effective when he is in there.
Grady Jackson: Who is going to sign me?
Matt Williamson: Hmmm...Clev could use another big fat old DLineman.
scott(DC): How worried are the Pats about getting banged up before the colts game? I don't seem them running up the score and leaving those guys out there with the lead.
Matt Williamson: Haven't thought about that, but that also isn't BB's style. He runs it up like no one else. Still, your point is valid. Maybe he pulls his horses off a little bit early if they get up huge.
Jarrod, Maryland: The Pats have had trouble covering TE's this season isnt Chris Cooley a key this week ?
Matt Williamson: I meant to mention that. I do see CC having a very nice game. Still, that isnt enough.
Travis (Canada): Matt, can the G-Men D have a outburst this week against the Phins similar to the one they had against the Eagles earlier this year?
Matt Williamson: That might be a bit extreme, but I feel ya. Osi, Strahan and company are going to live in Miami's backfield.
mav (city of dublin): the irish don't eat.. we drink in pubs.. I think the G men take the match, the other team very weak.. lad
Matt Williamson: Exceptional analysis.
santana moss, dc: i have been awful and yet i have a feeling that i will breakthrough this week. call it the irony of facing a superior team. nobody expects me to produce, but this when murphy's law kicks in, right?
Matt Williamson: You WERE on my FF team and I thought the exact same thing EVERY week. You are dead to me. No faith at all. Honestly, you are far too good of a player to post the #s that you have so far and Campbell has also missed you on a few long sure TDs. :laugh1:
Jim (Albany NY): Do you think the Dallas D gets better with the addition of Tank Johnson and Anthony Henry after there bye week?
Matt Williamson: For sure. Henry is a good #2 CB and having him back will certainly help. Tank is an okay player who will have to learn a new system. I don't think his impact is as extreme, but he provides depth and will help keep the other DL fresher. Could be an interior pass rusher on throwing downs too.
Larry (New York): The Skins have a good offense when gibbs actually lets campbell play..he'll have to let him play this week
Matt Williamson: He will, but that right side of the OL would really worry me. BB is GREAT at finding and exploiting weaknesses and that is a glaring weakness.
Xander (Philly): Did that dude just say "match"?
Matt Williamson: Indeed.
Kelvin (Dayton): What are Philly's chances of sneaking into the playoffs again this year?
Matt Williamson: Slim and none. Slim is still hanging around, but he is packing his bags.
Jim (Albany NY): As a Cowboy fan Matt i must say that Roy Williams is highly over rated, agree??
Matt Williamson: For sure. Big hitter. Highlight reel guy. There are a lot of TEs who he can't handle and I don't like him in deep patrol at all.
JJ (Liberty Twp, OH): Did that dude just claim to be named "Xander"?
Matt Williamson: Indeed.
Jesse Chatman (London): Other than sight-seeing, what can i really expect to do this week?
Matt Williamson: 68 yards on the ground. 13 receiving yards.
Kelvin (Dayton): I think this division has the most future hall of famers in it. Agree?
Matt Williamson: Wow-don't have the time to break down all the future HOFers, but who is there is this division? Some possibilities:
TO, McNabb, Dawkins, Strahan. Missing anyone? Those guys aren't locks either. Has to be more in another division.
Johnny (PA): In the past three weeks, the Cowboys stole one from the Bills, got schooled by the Pats & barely escaped against an inferior Vikings team. Are they a legitimate post season threat or just a pretender?
Matt Williamson: In the NFC, they are a contender. In the NFL, they are not.
Will Smith(West Philadadelphia): Yo Yo Yo Matt, Remember the Eagles started really bad last year and turned it around! So watch and see as history repeats itself?
Matt Williamson: I kinda hope so. I picked Philly to go to the Super Bowl! I suppose the playoffs are still a possibility, but last week's loss was the lid on the coffin. Get the nails ready to seal it up.
John(Buffalo): Terrell Owens is a definite lock for the Hall of Fame? Especially with those great numbers at WR?
Matt Williamson: I gotta think he is in. Probably not the most popular guy with the voters, but he is deserving.
Bill (Virgicaliflagantonio): Do you think Brandon Lloyd will make another catch this year?
Matt Williamson: Nope. D-U-N
Greg Carpenter (Hernando,Ms): Is the Cowboy a top 5 NFL team?
Matt Williamson: Close to it. Torn between Dallas and GB as the top NFC team. Can't say it now, but SD will be in the top 5. Obviously Ind and NE. PGH is probably a better team, but that is debatable as well. Tenn isn't a joke. Jax (w Garard) is ahed of Dallas on my list.
Luis (SB, CA): Here a good question for you...Who has the nicest jerseys in the division? Worst?
Matt Williamson: Come on Dude.
Eric (DC) : If Monk can't get in neither should Own
Matt Williamson: Was Monk ever one of the top 1 or 2 WRs in the league? I do think Monk belongs, but TO deserves it more. He's a monster.
Bailey (Atlanta): Ok, Matt: An easy True/False question. The Miami Dolphins will have the #1 Pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.
Matt Williamson: TRUE
Kelvin (Dayton) : Forgot Gibbs, Shockey,
Ware...
Matt Williamson: Gibbs is already in and wasn't thinking coaches.
Ware? He has been in the league three years, right? Shockey? No way. Runyan?
Matt Williamson: A Reid?
Drew (Nashville): Matt, get off the Cowboy's band-waggon! They are not that great! Everyone in the league has figured out Jason Garrett's offense, and it's only a matter of short time before T.O turns into the baby we all know him to be
Matt Williamson: Off their bandwagon? I just named like 8 teams that I thought might be superior.
Matt Williamson: Okay, I am out. Will be back at 1:30 for the AFC North.
