The Vick coast offense is just a single wing option offense. Plus the use of shotgun spread like he used in college. NO just stopped the run and dared him to pass. His tight end dropped a touchdown and a few 1st downs. It could have been a closer game. But Atlanta has been low scoring in the 1st two games. It looks like the best way to beat Vick is to frustrate him and get him upset. He feeds on good plays. I don't think they will do all that well this season.

Strong teams right now:
Broncos
Jaguars
Colts (weakness is power running game)
Bengals
Seahawks (Alexander hurt might change things)
Ravens (maybe an offense to go with that d)
Possible the Giants
Possible the Eagles

I think running and D will be better down the stretch then pass happy. But how do you stop the colts?

I think the Falcons will play well enough to get in the playoffs. The Bengals look like a great team, the Jaguars were picked as a potential team in the Superbowl by ESPN but they haven't been carrying their weight as for the Colts they always seem to choke in important games.

The biggest problem the Jags face is that they don't really ever make huge plays on offense. Once they start getting a few big plays per game, they will be ridiculously good.

I agree, the Broncos I am truly not sure about yet though, they still have a very broken offense they need to start running a little more so Plummer can do some more play-action. They also have one of the toughest schedules I've ever seen.
Jags look great. Colts look not quite as good as last year, but still good. Seahawks should do well even without Alexander. Giants are a good team, Shockey MUST be used more. Eagles are good. Ravens, well, not sure. NO is looking like one of the top teams right now though. San Diego is a good all-around team as well.

Its the alias he used when he went to the doctor. I think its funny..it sounds like a porn stars name. NFL website sold hundreds of falcons #7 jerseys with the name mexico on it before they knew what it meant and stopped it.

What can't you believe, that they would report this, or that the guy would sleep with someone and not tell her he has herpes?

Disagree on the broncos, Plummer is a headcase, they will make the playoffs and loss because of it.

The Bengals have been bad for so many years, I'd love to see them go to the SB. (but lose to the nfc champ ;) )

btw, any of you fantasy players picked up Maurice Morris yet? :D

Looks like Terrell Owens attempted suicide last night -

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2604395

I've been saying for a while that he seems like someone with serious mental problems. His actions just haven't been normal; holding out on his contract one day, literally crying on camera the next day about just wanting to play football, then the next day he has a bunch of reporters over to his house to interview him while he does situps in his driveway with his shirt off. I obviously don't know him personally, but I've been thinking the guy is bipolar for a while now.

I think it's a fitting name. Now the Cards can be like, "I got schooled at University of Phoenix!" ;)

The stadium is in glendale though, not phoenix, which makes the name that much more rediculous.
