Eagle fans are all excited about the debut of Terrell
Owens. Remind us again of how many Super Bowl Rings T.O. has won.

They might have become Ahman Green's team but its the
re-tooled defense that makes the Packers look like a solid contender
again. |

We're not sure but Mike Shannahan could probably turn

They might be the trendy pick by analysts but defense
and coaching is likely to remain the Vikings Achilles heal. |

They pushed around the Pats defense all game long but
did the unforgivable by coughing it up three times in the red zone. |

Jeff Fisher is a great coach but this is the year age
and injuries finally catches up with the Titans. |

If Curtis Martin can sustain the form he showed against
Cincy the Jets could be special. |

The Redskins will be successful under Joe Gibb but we
think the most significant coaching change in Washington was the
addition of Gregg Williams. |

Big "D" in Dallas now stands for deflated; as in the
Cowboys fans fears that last year's success was a mirage. |

Michael Vick didn't look like anything special against
the 9ers; but it might not take anything special to contend in the NFC

What is it about offensive geniuses that ultimately
causes them to go mad? Please explain why Jamal Lewis only got 14
touches against a team he owned last year? |

An inexperienced quarterback and no running game will
make it hard for Cincy to repeat last year's run |

Wasn't much of a "Lovie"-in for Smith's first game. How
do you lose your home opener to a team who hasn't won on the road
since Geroge Halas was the Bears coach? |

Fining players because they don't come early enough to
a team meeting??? Tom Coughlin sure knows how to inspire a team. |
