Philly and Mr. Vick will be in the playoffs and maybe the Super Bowl. Like him or not....he's on fire.

We may just see Da Iggles in the playoffs for 2010. I believe this depends on the rest of the division, at least for me it does.

*Shakes head* I picked the Redskins in my $800 suicide league. I really thought they turned a corner. Once again another reason for me not to like the Redskins.

Yeah I almost went with the Rams in the Yahoo Pickem but decided against it... even with McNabb and Shanannan they are still the same team that loses to bad teams.

I don't see why not. The Redskins and Giants are playing awful, the Cowboys are 1-2 though they played great in Houston. I think you have to consider Philadelphia the favorites in that division right now.

I can't figure out the NFC East. It's an overrated mess....

Yeah I would say their nick name went from NFC Beast to NFC Mess. I mean I think the NFC West may be more clearer on who may win that division than figuring out who will win the NFC East.

Things wil lbecome a little clearer after this weekend when the eagles play the skins but I have to agree Mike Vick has them rolling.

BTW, who had the chiefs starting 3-0?

Not taking anything away from Mike Vick. But he's getting a great scenario for a comeback story. First he gets going against the Lions which forced the Eagles to play him again. Then he rolls on the ugly Jags defense (ugly as I mean truly bad). And now he'll get the Redskins, and after watching the Rams and Texans game I believe have the worst pass D in the league.

The Vick train should roll on.

[Gtown Purple]

If the skins secondary played as well as they trash talked they'd be alot better....

Vick has been playing extremely well,but I wanna see him play this well when the Eagles face some tougher competition on their schedule.
The Eagles were 0-3 all time vs the Jags until yesterday.
He`s led the Eagles to back to back road wins and when he came into the Packers game the whole game changed and like he said the out come may had been different had he started instead of coming in halfway through the 2nd qtr down 20-3.
Next three opponents Wash,@SF,ATL

lol at how the 49ers fired Jimmy Raye. Trying to cover for Alex Smith? Trying to make dumb excuses for him?

I have no feelings towards the 49ers, but I don't agree with this move because they put up 417 yards on the Saints defense, which covers for one of only three offensive performances this season (granted the other two sucked), but also because your just gonna have to find him yet ANOTHER coordinator and system to learn....which will only make it more difficult.

Alex Smith sucks. They simply will not go anywhere if they keep starting him.

Love how Coaches take the fall over the player. I mean you have to admit, Eric Mangini put together a pretty good Jets team, and had solid drafts(Mangold, Revis, Harris) but when Favre's arm fell off in the later part of the 08 season, The Jets didn't blame Favre(in which was the real reason) instead they dumped Mangini. So actually when you look at the Jets Rex should thank Mangini for giving him a good team to work with. Now here we are again, instead of Singletary benching Alex Smith, the OC takes the fall for the wrong reason.

I dare someone to make an account on their Forum Board and start a "Troy Smith Should Start" Thread. Oh wait... I'm sure someone has already done that.

[RavensAllTheWay]

It'd be great if they started Troy.

I'm sure its already occuring over there. "But he has a Heisman!" . Plus some of the Troy Smith cronies that were trolling this board have now moved over to the San Fran and doing the same nonsense they did here.

[PuRock]

Sure enough, looks like the 49ers have a thread about Troy Smith, and plenty people think they should give him a shot.

[quote]I actually would not mind starting smith... Is he a great QB? Not really haha but still he is an ex heisman winner so he has to have some sort of talent[/quote]

there ya go!

[sliceanddic3]

[quote]Have any of you even watched Troy Smith since he's been in the NFL?

Absolute garbage. There's a reason he couldn't even be Flacco's back up.[/quote]
Nutshot? Yes
True? ....yes

[FlaccoFlicker]

Wow Green Bay's dwefense is emploding with penalties!

[FlaccoFlicker]

Jeez how many flags you gotta throw for one call?

[FlaccoFlicker]

see i woulda let them run the ball in to save some clock there

[Shawn`]

Green Bay not only hurt my Pick Em stats but if they just held on to 1 of those missed interceptions they would've helped me win my fantasy game, which I lost by 3 points.

Thanks Green Bay.

[RavensAllTheWay]

So it's the Bears making the most noise in the NFC. They're the only undefeated team left in that conference.

[DrMoonTooth]

I can't believe the Bears beat the Packers.

So, who does that leave undefeated this season?

1)Bears
2)Chiefs
3)Pittsburgh

I would have mocked anyone who said that by the end of week 3, these would be the only undefeated teams. Such is the crazy nature of the NFL...

[DrMoonTooth]

Also: San Francisco 0-3? They seemed to be the consensus pick for the NFC West...Singletary can feel his seat heating up pretty quickly. I hate to say that because I love Mike Singletary, but something just isn't right with the 49ers.

It's the coaching staff, plain and simple. Both coordinators, offensive one just got fired, what does that tell you?

Singletary simply isn't doing a good job, I like him as well though.

I'm starting to believe so myself. It seems like both Mike Singletary and Tom Coughlin are losing the resepct of their players.

Yeah it seems that the 49ers keep hiring Coordinators for Head Coaches who aren't fit to be a HC and they are just real good at the OC/DC position. First Nolan, now Singletary. I mean look at Cam, I think he is just a OC, not fit out for a HC job. Maybe instead of Lovie Smith getting fired in Chicago we'll see Singletary getting the boot in San Fran and Coughlin getting the boot in NY.
