Mcnabb/Owens vs Culpepper/Moss

Recommended Posts

Guest Salacious Crumb

Culpepper/Moss easily. They're a proven pair over the course of severl years. McNabb/Owens tore up easily the worst team in the league for their first game but looked horrible at times during the preseason.

 

McNabb/Owens will win more games while putting up inferior stats but neither team is going to the Super Bowl and the Eagles have much less depth on offense than the Vikings. I'd take the Vikings running attack over the Eagles anyday.

McNabb has only two options to pass to and its either going to be Owens or Westbrook......yeah Pinkston is there but he is not the person you want to give the ball to in the 2 minute drill. The Eagles have some rookies, Pinkston, and the TEs who all have the butter fingers.

 

As for the Vikings it has been and will always be RANDY RATIO and with Marcus Robinson as the other WR option the Vikings has a better passing threat. As seen in the 1st game of the week Dante can dump the ball off the the RBs and result in TDs as in the case of Onterrio Smith's big play. The short passing game for the Vikings is just better than what the Eagles have all of the RBs have good hands and are credible threats to score (Williams, Klasseninger, Smith, Bennett).

 

If you are thinking of fantasy lineups then go with Culpepper & Moss. Or if you want to think outside of the box go with Culpepper & Owens as they are the #1 options on their teams.

Definitely Culpepper/Moss. I think this is the year Daunte really comes into his own and puts it all together. And Moss is the most talented WR in the league, so the Vikes pair seems a pretty easy choice.

I still think that Pinkston, LJ Smith, Chad Lewis are all bums and players that Donovan F. McNabb cannot trust. They are the reasons why the Eagles never went to the Superbowl the past 3 years........the Vikings excuse is their weak defense.

McNabb being injured last year was probably a big part of that too.

 

I'd definitely go with McNabb/Owens. Donovan always just seems more dangerous to me, probably because he's got some solid rushing ability too.

Culpepper/Moss is better, but not to the degree that they can make up for a secondary that gave up 355 Yards to TESTEVERDE!

Considering how easily the Giants ran over them --- and that Minnesota tends to rush better --- this could get real ugly.

Its going to be a high scoring game. I predict 45-35 Vikings win next week.

 

In the offensive duel it will come down to:

 

Culpepper vs McNabb with Dante winning 4-2

Moss vs Owens with Moss winning 3-2

O. Smith vs B. Westbrook with Westbrook winning 2-1

Once again this is a classic case of NFL Fever. I mean it is week 2, and the outcome of the game will probably not affect anything by the time Week 17 rolls around. This game should be fun, as both defenses are not that good, and both have an above average QB/WR combo. The Eagles have relied on defense though to get them to the NFCchampionship the past 3 years, and the Vikings keep missing out on the playoffs because of their lack of defense. Well the Eagles D might have finally caught up to the Vikings in terms of softness, so this should be a high scoring affair. 38-31 Vikings methinks.

:cheers:
