So, who's a good team?Pick6TerenceNewman;2332202 said:Again, good teams win against teams you should beat!
The Giants and Titans?
That's it?

Hostile;2332222 said:Not every game. Other than the 1972 Dolphins you can't show me one team that beats every opponent it should. That's a pipe dream theory that has no basis in fact or History.
Pick6TerenceNewman;2332213 said:At least they were 13-3 last year. The Cowboys will be lucky to be 10-6 if they continue to blow games they should win.
Boysboy;2332256 said:I know-but let's say we played the Niners, and IF we beat them the way the Eagles did today, then this board would STILL have a big meltdown over our mediocre play.
Was just saying, that's all...
Pick6TerenceNewman;2332265 said:No doubt. I don't expect them to win every game they are suppose to but this is now the second game they should of won this year! They were lucky to beat the Bungles last week!
Nav22;2332245 said:Here's reality.
We'll probably make the playoffs.
The way we look in December on will likely determine our real Super Bowl hopes.
Nobody knows how we will look in December. In past seasons, we peaked early and faded late. Maybe this year we'll peak late and make a run at the Super Bowl.
The Giants winning it all last year has jaded me a bit.
You don't need to be the best regular season team to win it all.
You don't even need to be a top 10 regular season team to win it all.
Simply get hot towards the end of the regular season, and you have a real shot at hoisting the Lombardi.

Boysboy;2332270 said:Honestly-this game wasn't nearly as close as it looked-if it weren't for the refs helping us and the many lucky bounces of the ball, Cards win this by double digits.
My pt was that last year, we were the ones getting all the breaks. B/c we're not getting extra lifelines this year, we're getting exposed.
Boysboy;2332129 said:You mean the same Eagles team that played pretty pitifully against the Whiners until the last 12 minutes when JT O'Sullivan pulled a Sage Rosenfels?
Seriously though-read my OP somewhere I posted earlier...my FEAR is that the Post-Parcells Curse is starting to bite us now. It did so to the Giants, NE, and the Jets when he bolted them unexpectedly...only for them to have incompetent ***** replace him.
Are the Saints a good team? No they lost at home to the VikingsPick6TerenceNewman;2332287 said:Well, let's see here. NO is 3-3, TB is 4-2, Carolina is 4-2, Atlanta is 4-2, Giants are 4-0, Arizonia is 4-2, Skins and Cowboys are 4-2.
The bottom line, there isn't much wiggle room in the NFC East and NFC Conference.

A nickel says no.windward;2332315 said:Are the Saints a good team? No they lost at home to the Vikings
Are the Bucs a good team? No they lost to the Saints?
Maybe Carolina? Can't be lost to the Bucs and Vikings.
Falcons? Lost to Panthers and Bucs.
Cardinals lost to the Jets/Skins.
Do you see the flaw in your argument?

Boysboy;2332316 said:For some reason, the Bears/Falcons game was broadcasting in the DFW area instead of the Skins game. I have no earthly idea why, but somehow it did.
I was watching Kyle Orton, and sometimes I wish Romo would AT LEAST PROTECT that ball under the most duress of situations. One of the reasons why Orton has progressed alot is b/c when he's under duress or noone's open, he either throws the ball away or just cradles it.
Heck-ROOKIE Matt Ryan isn't too shabby himself either.
This team better get its head out of its *** soon, b/c there are ALOT of GOOD NFC teams this year playing SMART football.

Boysboy;2332338 said:Like I said-Parcells bolted too late in the game, that it gave Jerry little window to take his time with the HC search. I would have loved Ron Rivera, but with the offseason fastly approaching, someone with NO HC experience AND having to learn the ropes in a short amount of time wouldn't have done us good.
Same happened to the Pats when Parcells angrily bolted them after that Super Bowl-Pete Carroll was their only emergency option.
