Alright, the roomie's on about Favre again....Convince me that anyone but Tom Brady should be the MVP this year?

 

Same reason I'd bring up any time Favre's name comes up in MVP talks.. Without Favre, where are the Packers? And without Brady, where are the Patriots? I think it actually comes pretty close in terms of the ramifications of a major injury to either guy, but Moss, Gaffney, Stallworth, and Welker are all proven, good WRs that can work with any quarterback. I think Favre makes Green Bay's offense go, especially the way he carried that offense in the beginning half of the year with no running game.

So I guess that the blueprint for hanging with New England is blanketing Moss, pressuring Brady, and hoping that your offense can outscore them. So Baltimore has no chance. Pittsburgh, maybe?

Thankfully the Pats pulled that one off. I was dreading going back to school tomorrow and having to hear it from one end of campus to the other that "WE beat the Patriots! WE broke the undefeated season!" It's going to be bad enough hearing "WE almost beat the Patriots, we came as close as anyone has so far!" but I can live with that one, I guess.

The Patriots were scared... Ravens... you know what to do now.

 

I think it's going to have the opposite effect. This game probably woke them up from their complacency and that means it's going to be a long night for the Ravens next week.

Okay, what the hell was that play call by the Eagles that resulted in the Feeley INT to Samuel? They were moving the ball and had plenty of time left (3:50), had just pounded Westbrook for a nice gain. Yet they desperately go for the TD, going after the very guy who already had an INT earlier? The Eagles had a FG in their pocket, at the worst just keep running it and run the clock down...then either score the TD or kick the FG and give the Pats no time.

 

What if the Eagles had scored on that play? Tom Brady simply gets the ball back with 3:45 or so left and would beat them anyway.

Doesn't this happen every year? McNabb gets hurt and some journeyman QB has a couple good games and suckers another team into signing him? I don't keep track of McNabb's career but it sure seems like that.

 

1st Feeley, who went on to do less then nothing until coming back home

2nd Mike McMahon, who sucked for the Eagles in his stint and went to a backup job in Minny I think before falling to the wayside

3rd Garcia, obv with Bucs

and to complete the circle back to Feeley, who may actually sucker a team again (the Eagles) if they dump McNabb and Kolb isn't ready for next season.

Didn't Ty Detmer make an appearance during the 1st Feely stint?

It was Koy.

This reminded me so much of the Dolphins game in '04 so much with Feeley just slinging everything in there and getting the ball to the right place. If McNabb played, we would have seen the 30 point drubbing everyone was expecting.

 

I feel sorry for the Ravens now. Brady mad! Bill mad! Bill and Brady smash purple birds!

Sean Taylor was shot in his home this morning. This is terrible news for you Redskins defense fantasy owners.

 

EDIT: All right, I take that back. I didn't realize the seriousness of the situation.

 

Redskins safety Sean Taylor has been shot in Florida, a source with knowledge of the situation tells us. He is in critical condition at a Miami-area hospital and, per the source, is "fighting for his life".

 

Taylor spent Sunday night in his Florida home with his girlfriend and infant daughter. A robbery occurred, and Taylor was shot in the leg by one of the invaders.

 

The bullet severed his femoral artery. He currently is in surgery.

 

Taylor, the fifth overall pick in the 2005 draft, was in Florida to get a second opinion on an injured knee.

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Taylor, his family, and the Redskins organization, and we hope that Taylor will make a full recovery.
