I won't dispute that, GB is at the top of the pile.Quote:

Now, I know this is going back a while to week one, but the eagles got some pressure on Favre and GB did absolutely nothing offensively. However, also much better secondary as well.
Titans signed mike williams...
he's listed at 230lbs, weighed in at 260 - they worked him out then signed him, came back again at 271.... what the ???????
this guy is a fat sack of **** who can't catch.
I agree. We have to see what Favre does against another good secondary before we get too crazy. Detroit's pass D is just awful. The cowboy's pass defense isn't rated very highly either (20th) but the cowboys will probably put up more points than GB's recent opponents, forcing Favre to make more plays. Should be an excellent game though I think Dallas wins it handily.Quote:

Everything out of the 5 wide set is all quick passes...slants, hooks, curls. The ball is generally out of there pretty quick. It is kind of funny that favre has passed for an average of 360 yards and 3 TD's since a couple of you shared your "feeling" that he wasn't going to continue doing what he had done all year....you guys were right, he's gotten even BETTER than what he was earlier in the year.Quote:

Yeah, playing the Lions and the awesome Carolina Panthers since then. That was a whole 12 days ago that I said Favre's run wouldn't last, so I'd say there's still time to find out. Even if he plays the whole year like this, I really couldn't care less. Good for him.Quote:

omg Holmgren, worst playcalling ever in the fourth. Thanks for the heart attack.
That game was horrible. The o-line was bad and either eli was thinking the wrong routes or the receivers just kept screwing up because no one was where they were supposed to be when the ball was thrown. There was no running game either.Quote:

The giants also didn't have a #3 receiver for a while with steve smith going out in week 2 and moss not getting much play until last week vs detroit. Being #2 in the league in drops doesn't help either.
Wow Philly threw that spread right out the window. Pats actually looked human in that game.
I'm really not the impressed with the Pats defense. If anything is going to loose them a game, that's going to be it. Well, that or an injuring to a key player and their season is over.Quote:
