    Without a good O line protecting them you really don't want either of them though. They aren't very good.

    Well there aren't many QBs great under pressure anyways. My only point was that this is the first time this season the Vikings are missing Teddy because their o-line has gotten to the point where it looks like it may hold them back from being a great team in a league full of flawed teams.

    Fair enough, we'll agree to disagree on that. I don't think either of them are any good at all under pressure so I don't see them seriously missing him. Also, if they have Bridgewater instead of Bradford for the other games this season, the drop off at QB would have lost them some more games.

    Eagles released Huff today

    Josh Huff doesn't feel safe in Houston so he carries gun

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Josh Huff says he carries a gun because he doesn't trust people in his hometown of Houston and he has to protect his family.

    Huff was charged Tuesday with possession of a 9 mm handgun without a permit and having a small amount of mar1juana after he was pulled over for speeding on the New Jersey side of the Walt Whitman bridge. Huff was also cited for driving while intoxicated by the officer. His attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr., said Huff is licensed to carry in Texas and the gun was not loaded when he was stopped Tuesday morning.

    "I have a wife and I have a son at home, and my job is to protect them at all costs," Huff said. "I'm from Houston. You can't trust a lot of people in Houston. There's always somebody out to get you. I've felt my life has been threatened and that's why I do have a gun and I do have a license. There's been several instances in Houston where I've lost a friend to gun violence. Why would I let that happen to me?"

    Eagles coach Doug Pederson was peppered with questions about the incident for the first 11 minutes of his news conference.

    "It's still an open investigation so I don't know what's going to happen in this case," Pederson said Wednesday. "I'm disappointed for the choices they make. The spotlight is on everything we do. You have to be smart. You have to make right choices. Everything is magnified. But again, once they leave here, that's the hardest thing to get through."

    "He was very dejected, very disappointed and very apologetic, and he said it wouldn't happen again," Pederson said.

    Huff said he addressed his teammates.

    "My message was that I apologize for being a distraction to them, especially right now. We don't need it," he said.

    Huff is the second Eagles player arrested in the past month. Linebacker Nigel Bradham faces a misdemeanor concealed weapons charge after he was caught carrying a loaded gun at a Miami airport on Oct. 2.

    "I don't necessarily understand why they need guns outside of sport hunting," Pederson said. "There comes a time when there could be discipline. I want to make sure I'm doing right by these players and they're doing right by themselves. They need to know that the decisions and choices they make away from this building is eventually going to affect their future as a player in the NFL."

    no doubt. some crazy vatos always trying to roll up on me. got to be handy with the steel if you know what I mean. earn you keep.

    that still doesn't explain the weed and alcohol. also I doubt he gets cut if he averages even 500 yards a season.

    Strong possibility for another 0-3 week for the AFC South (minus the bye week Texans).

    Meanwhile, possible early season SB contenders like Philly, Pittsburgh, and Minnesota have been bit by the parity bug.

    Minnesota has been bit by the injury bug. Philly also has some key injuries but they've definitely faced a tougher schedule recently. Pederson has some potato playcalling that I've noticed from these past two games.

    Meh, there was nobody crying when they were still winning big minus Bridgewater and AP. Their odds to win the SB actually went up after those injuries and a few games.

    Their offensive line has been exposed and the defense, which benefited early by creating a lot of turnovers and getting a lot of fluke-ish defensive scores, is starting to wear down.

    The O line getting beat up is the major thing. That's been the difference between Sam Bradford looking awesome and looking like Sam Bradford.

    Teddy and Sam are a wash at QB. And AP is washed up and wasn't producing this season anyways before he got hurt. Their offensive line injuries are much more of a concern. Anyone that has taken the time to watch games knows this. Who's crying though? Lol for one, I'm actually happy the Vikings have cooled off. Better for the Packers to win the division now.

    I somewhat disagree, Azadre. He's a pretty good QB, but I feel like you, he isn't a superstar QB. I feel like if your last name isn't Brady, Manning, or Rodgers...you have no business with $100-$120MM salary as a quarterback. Flacco can't carry a team (bad offense), that's a problem when you don't have a stalwart defense.


    It's a weird situation to give a player $100+ MM, and he's not even the best or perhaps the 2 or 3rd best player on the team. The Ravens haven't made the playoffs ever, since they gave him contract. It's very hard to make the overall roster to better in those situations. Even with a great QB,like Brees or a good one like Matt Ryan, those teams have been very average, in spite of their QB play over the last 3 to 4 season.

    Ha! I really wish we got this version of the Vikings. We would've smoked them easily.

    Jags are the most potato team in the league. How does Bradley still have a job? Outplayed and outgained the Chiefs but lost because the Chiefs got 13 points from turnovers.
