u have a hi-powered offense ,and a blitz-happy defense??well, thats the colts.the eagles have to frustrate manning,and really cover his slot,and downfield threats,and they might stand a chance.but the eagles MUST cover whomever is qb'ing this week,freeney eats qb's for breakfast,especially coming off the left side. good luck guys,come in hungry!

Eagles, with Vick leading the way, are going to beat the Colts.

The most amazing thing about the Colts is how they find a helmet to fit over Manning's protruding Frankenstein forehead and the incredible science of keeping a chin strap buckled on a man with no actual chin.

hey Imaallaboutbeingafool: Your arse must be sore from riding that same old horse for so long. I'm thinking Reid is no worse than the 31st dumbest, ahead of at least Shanazorn for duping him into taking a has been/never was such as McNabb.

Only 4 of the 11 wins came against teams that would later make the playoffs, you say? Well, with 12 of the 32 NFL teams make the playoffs each year, that's 37.5% of the teams. And the percentage of those 11 wins that came against playoff teams? It's 36.4%. It's exactly what one would expect so why are you writing about this and why are we reading it?
