Although we did sign Nathan Vasher.

I don't think I've even see our defensive line play well like that. Just have to put a spy on Vick, as we got burned a few times when Cutler scrambled.

I did notice something during the game between the Eagles and the Packers. Did you say Kolbs wife right before Vick came in... it was like she knew it was about to be over... or maybe she was concerned for her husband.


Hope for a good game, though I probably wont be able to see it (thanks CABLE!!!)

If vick indeed starts I'm hoping for a big day for him since he'd play a full 4 quarters, never was a fan of his but I'd like to see him get his career back on track

Stunning...I can't get $$$ in Philly's corner fast enough. That, to me, seems like the closest thing to a mortal lock in a long time...

I know who won't get a concussion this Sunday:

The Lions should have grabbed Okung this year. As awesome as Suh is, the bigger need was on the offensive line. What did you draft the year before? The guy you want to be your franchise QB. What did you draft the year before that? The guy you want to be your franchise offensive player. What part of this equation are you missing? The cornerstone offensive lineman. They could have taken Okung and still found a solid DT later in the draft. Now you got an injured QB again already, and you're one week into the season. The Lions don't have one talent on their line. While their D is a mess too, they already started building the offense, should have finished that before starting the D with early picks.

Imagine how much different the Oakland Raiders are right now if they took Joe Thomas instead of JaMarcus. Talk about a massive mistake right there. And it puts in perspective how important the offensive line is.

I hope the Eagles win this game.

I hope no one else bends their knee backwards.
