I'm concerned about my G-men, Bradshaw.Deilh, Nicks, and Hixon are all out for this game....and when some gets the chance can they find our pass-rush....

Nah, Eagles were bad last year (save for the final four games). Thankfully Juan Castillo seems to have a handle on things now. We're still turning the ball over though >_< but the defense has bailed us out.

But I can't see them losing to the Cards, they're not the real deal. Neither are the Iggles but they're certainly closer to that real 'deal threshold' than the Cards are. Plus, Iggles are due for a clean game.


I needed a reason to post this, but I cannot take any of the 2-0 teams serioiusy until they have played a good team. Meaning the 49ers and the Falcons.

Bringing up possible rule changes again, one thing that I'd like to hear about are the prediction points. Are you guys happy with how they are or should they be awarded to the top 5 each week? Either in a "6, 4, 3, 2, 1" or "7, 5, 3, 2, 1" fashion, because winning the week should definitely stand out; if it were to be implemented, I would personally lean towards the "7, 5, 3, 2, 1" setup. PP being awarded to beyond the top 5 isn't up for debate, because as Week 2 has shown, there aren't necessarily all that many people who achieve a positive record.

On the plus side, this would allow more people to attain PP each week, leading to a lot loss tied positions in the overall standings and making things more interesting. On the other hand, it's poised to make things more lopsided in the playoffs when the tie-breaking procedure comes into play. Although it may only seem fair that somebody who did clearly better in predicting 256 games has a notable advantage when only four games have to be predicted.

If you guys want to see the PP being extended to the top 5 players each week, then the first two weeks will of course be adjusted accordingly. So what do you think?

I say we go with what you have and if you think it may be too lopsided then just reduce the points awarded to maybe 3,2,1.

No kidding. I didn't expect the Panthers to help New York so much though.
