    Shawn Andrews is out against Carolina. I think this may be the beginning of the end of Andrews career as an Eagle. Sure he has played at a Pro Bowl level before and is still quite young but he just can't seem to stay on the field. Andy Reid even said today that if Winston Justice plays well enough he could take the starting right tackle spot from Andrews. Now most of you will remember Justice as the guy who gave Osi half of his sacks in 2007...in one game! I still think it is possible that he can be a good play though. We'll see.....

    Polamalu's injury isn't as severe as others, at least I hope. He'll be back out there hitting as hard as ever before you know it.

    And you DROPPED Larry Fitzgerald from your fantasy team? Are you insane?

    Dear Andre Johnson,

    Please stay away from Madden, for the sake of all of us.

    I really miss madden in the broadcast though. It just doesn't feel the same without him. They should have just left al michaels and engineered Madden's one liners into the feed. =)
    I thought collinsworth did a great job, just going to take some time to adjust.

    Let's see if we can get Matt Schaub on the cover.

    I bet he can reverse jinx it.

    My prediction are the same as yours.

    Although I think the GB vs CHI could go either way. Still picked the Pack.

    I agree I basically took the Pack because they are at home.

    I think the Eagles/Panthers game could go either way too.

    Also the Denver/Cincy game.
