Shanghai Kid 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Which combo would you take for now and the future? Also, which combo will produce more wins and better stats this season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted September 14, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 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.

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 If you watched the game Sunday, you'd see that McNabb hit some 12 or so passes in a row, to multiple, multiple receivers, stupido. Eagles are going to blow Vikes away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Culpepper/Moss is better, but not to the degree that they can make up for a secondary that gave up 355 Yards to TESTEVERDE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Freddie Mitchell was McNabb's "worst" receiver on Sunday....dropping a first-down ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nanks Report post Posted September 14, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MikeSC Report post Posted September 14, 2004 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. -=Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
