I meant he was in good form this week.
It wasn't a complaint, hence the ":P"

Your favourite team sucks!

Anyway, Vick is getting the start for the Iggles this weekend. Good. I hope Kolb is out for his career. Freaking scrub.

I'm actually excited to see Vick start. Either way, it's going to be good.

If your favorite team lost its opening game, you best hope they win this weekend according to the statistics.

Quote:
The exact numbers of 0-1 teams making the playoffs, at least over the last 10 years, is 25%.

If you start 0-2, the chances of you making the playoffs is 10%. Only 7 out of 69 teams have done it since 2000.
So some pre-season favorites to make the playoffs best get on their horse and get going...Jets, Colts, Bengals, Chargers, Cowboys, Vikings, Falcons and 49'ers all in this prediciment. Who of these lose their first 2? Im guessing at least 2 of them.

Possible...but if i was to put money on it, I would bet on both Cincy and the Vikings to win today.

Well my pick of the Vikings to lose is probably more of a pick with my heart being a Fins fan.

GO DOLPHINS!, 2-0 start would be awesome especially since those first 2 games are on the road. Though its probably more wishful thinking than anything else.

The "McNabb Pick", Nate Allen with two interceptions in two games. The guy is going to be a stud.

Vikings shot themselves in the foot after that start. Can't go for it on 4th and 2.

Yeah, I had some crazy pixelation going on for a while. It seems to have cleared up now, but damn do I hate Shaw. I may call Telus this week and see what then can offer me.

I am thinking all the "Can the Chiefs win the West?" discussion that was going on all last week by the experts and the Chiefs fans I work with was a wee bit premature.

Yeah, this week had all the makings of a letdown game for the Chiefs.

To be clear, and to their credit, I think our resident Chief fans have been selling their team a little short.

Wow, what a nice TD catch by Hester. 17-14 Bears late in the 2nd quarter pending a challenge by Dallas.

So far so good for the Dolphins on the road. I am excited for the second half, time to open up and throw the ball downfield more with Marshall.

It's going to be nice to hear all those ankles snapping this week as people pile off the Cowboys bandwagon.
