    if you had the 3rd best defense in the NFL, you would.

    Of course I would. Of course, that's not the only reason they've won this year either.

    I'm pretty sure I've heard you say this many times in regards to baseball, but stats aren't everything.

    it's certainly not the only reason they won. it's the big reason, in my opinion. in football in particular, a defense can carry a team and lead a very mediocre offense to a super bowl. we've seen that happen a fair amount of times.

    i'm not saying the guy is bad. i'm saying he's overrated. i'm saying people make assumptions about how good the guy is based on his name and the exciting plays he makes. and he is undoubtedly an exciting player. but im not sure that giving up 1000+ yards passing to rush 800 yards is a good tradeoff for a QB. and i'm absolutely positive that no player, QB or otherwise, turns the ball over more times.

    he is mentioned among the very best in the league. he was named to the Pro Bowl ahead of Favre, who threw more than 2X the TDs he did this year. ahead of Delhomme, who had a kick ass season. i think that's silly. when i think of the best QB's in the game, Vick is not in that strata. it's far easier for me to compare him with average QB's at this point....yes, guys like Carr or Leftwich....than it is for me to compare him to mcnabb, culpepper, favre, manning, brady, etc. to me, he's not there. and i don't think he'll get there. just my opinion.

    not trying to shut anyone up. i love RM95. he's a friend of mine. it's just a football discussion. reasonable minds can disagree on something like this. it's just my opinion.

    We'll win but it'll be closer than everyone is saying because of the conservative play calling.

    I know about your relationship with him...That is why I added the wink.

    The wink is suppose to imply I wasn't serious. Hopefully most reasonable minds can infer from this. ... :)

    Finally, this might be a great offensive game to watch.

    1 pick by Glenn and 2 by Dunta. Carr easily throws over 300 yards with DD getting at least 200 all purpose yards.

    Texans 42
    Browns 17

    They better not pull our starters early, it's not like we have a game to play next week. Also, i can't wait to see how wrong my predictions are.:D

    Ok, so I dropped (and broke) my Sportster on Friday....and there are no receivers anywhere in Manhattan (popular gift, that Sirius). Debating spending $9.95 for the NFL streaming radio on NFL.com.

    Anyone ever tried it? Is it worth it? Or should just be happy to watch Jets v. Rams and catch updates.

    On a cool side note, my super is a Texans fan and he has no connections whatsoever to Houston. He came up to fix my sink this morning wearing a Texans cap. After I asked him why he chose a team so far away, he said "Carr, AJ, and DD are gonna be great next year."

    That was a very nice drive. Now we just need the D to buckle down. 8-8, I can just taste it.

    Did anyone else notice the crowd cheering after the loooong incompletion to AJ? That was funny.
