| A couple of notes to your above post..
I definitely agree with your top 3 picks for MVP, as for the 4th and 5th I'd have to dig a little deeper before agreeing with those two. LT is hands down the man this year, and yes, I think he may go down as the best runningback of all time. And you're talking to a big Barry Sanders fan here. He just has a "vision" for getting into the open holes, getting past defenders, he's got speed, he scores points..he's unbelievable. The one shame is that as good as LT is doing, it's taking some spotlight off Drew Brees and the Saints, who I believe are the story of the year (sports-wise).
The NFC is brutal. Being under .500 right now in the NFC doesn't mean you are out of the playoffs after 14 weeks of play. Pathetic.
Once again, I have to agree with you, this time on the Patriots. I am a big fan of Tom Brady, I feel he is probably the best Quarterback in football right now. Hush up, Manning fans. I feel that the Patriots desperately need to pick up an "Elite" WR this offseason for Brady to get to. Further, I also believe that if Brady had a reciever like a Marvin Harrison (something he's NEVER had), the Patriots would be unstoppable. The rest of the team is golden, but they just need that missing piece. I'll be excited to watch them in the playoffs again this year, and hope for the best.
Being from Michigan, I can say that the entire state wants Millen gone. I mean, have you ever seen or heard a reaction like that for a GM? The guy is worthless, and it's time for a change for the Detroit Lions. Our team has never been above-average, we are the laughing stock of the NFL, and will continue to be if nothing is done. We need to shake up the team, and we need to start at the top with Millen. Like you pointed out, the record under him is inexcuseable. I really have my doubts that Ford will listen up and can his ass, but I will continue to pray. |
