Tell that to the Eagles. Our right tackle and guard SUCK.

But your assuming those guys will do that every year. Its plain to me that Rodgers is gonna have MVP potential for the next 5-7 years unless something drastic happens.
He does not need to win a single one to be a better player than Favre in my eyes anyway. I am not a fan of players who have an excessive amount of turnovers no matter what their other stats are. Plus..Marino won 1 MVP, Cunningham won 2, but not many people would argue Cunningham was a better player.
Eagles fan? haha, ouch.
Yeah weird, a left-hand QB needs a Peters at RT (or draft someone) but it just baffles me because Vick would rather rolling to his better side (outside LT) since its a easier throw for him to make. When I play Madden, I'm constantly rolling Sanchez out to the right and Keller's always there (Madden 09' so Sanchez was drafted and Keller was ninja'd in a fantasy draft haha).
Whilst that's a good argument, I would make a better case for SuperBowls as they tend to be a better judge of how good a QB is when his paycheck is leading to a winning moment.
Since the Ravens in 2000, Manning (1), Brees (1), Brady (3) and Big Ben (2) Superbowls. I would agree with ranking those and calling them the Top 5 QBs. Plus Favre never got a MVP in the Superbowl either. Rodgers has 1.
Brady is pretty much ahead with his season, 4 INTs just makes others look bad.
Brees and Manning, to put up numbers like they do all the time isn't easy and when 31 teams all know your gameplan and most times can't stop you, it should speak volumes.
Big Ben just has a big frame, suits that atrocious OL that Pittsburgh has (sad when your Rookie is your best lineman...)
LIONS 2011! BET ON IT!*
*only bet that the Lions will still exist as a team.
They moved the kickoffs up to the 35 yrd line, get ready for 8 touchbacks a game. The giants kicker, Tynes might actually be able to pull off a touchback now!
I don't like this move even though it helps the giants with their weak special teams. It's going to cut out a lot of the kick off return game
I have converted. Go Lions! Stafford is a beast.
Al Davis finally died, which is the best thing that has happened to the Raiders in a very long time.
Not sure if I am more surprised that after the Eagles built a "super" team are 1-4, or out of nowhere the Bills are 5-0.
Yeah I meant 4-1. I HATE the Raiders. I still blame Josh McDaniel's sabotage of the Broncos on Al Davis. It's all his fault. :p
I don't even need the asterisk this time! 5-0, outrageous. I was at the MNF football game this week at Ford Field, holy hell was it loud. I've never seen a game begin with what, 3 straight false starts? And like 5 in the first 2 plays. My ears were still ringing the next day.
What a glorious time to be a Lions fan! And now Fairley is playing, making their defense that much stronger.
I thought that Detroit was improving, but thought that your prediction was rather insane. ATM, it appears that you are right. :D
I am rather impressed with Detroit. Their young QB looks mature beyond his years. Calvin Johnson looks to me like the best WR in the NFL. I'm not sure that anybody can cover him 1 vs. 1 right now... Revis included. I'm still angry that the Raiders took JaMarcus Russell over him... was angry at the time and am even more angry now.
My roomie is actually a Lions fan. And I've talked with him at length about the Lions. We both agree that Suh is an utter monster... and will probably only get even better. The defence is playing very well. We also both seem to agree that the weakness on offence is the offensive line. And that on defence it's the secondary. If Detroit could manage to get a shutdown corner, they'd be pretty insane.
I'm actually becoming a bit of a fan myself. It's great to see them rising from the bottom of the trash heap of the NFL for so many years to do what they are doing now. Good for the city of Detroit.
Their biggest test will be how they fare against Green Bay. Personally, here is where I think that they'll get smoked.
