Giants a contender in NFC?

Dr. Giganto

Well, I don't know about the Steelers...First off, they have to win their division. Cincy is in first place, after all. Also, Big Ben isn't playing this week, and not the week after either, so Cincy can pas their lead. Plus, Denver has been playing well too, and could finish as one of the top 2 teams in the AFC. I definitely dont think a Steeleres bye is a given

Big Ben is out for two weeks with an ankle issue as well.

They'll be starting Maddox this week against Green Bay... I don't think anyone can call even a 1-6 Green Bay team a "roll-over" game, but it's a secondary Maddox shouldn't have too much trouble with.

Owens practiced today, by the way, and his game status was upgraded to questionable.

Actually, it looks like Charlie Batch is getting the start for Pittsburgh.

Haha!

yeah I think the giants have a great shot on winning the NFC East. Every NFC East team does.

Being a Cowboy fan I have to give them the biggest edge. Giants have the easier schedule out of the two, but I just feel that Dallas has the better team.

Giants may have a good offense, but for the most part, defense wins games, and the giants defense isnt that great.

As for Philly and Washington, You never know in the NFL, but I just think Philly is to banged up, and Washington just isnt as good as they seem to be.

Of all the divisions this year, the NFC East will definately be the most fun to watch. I can't really pick a winner yet, but I will go with the Cowboys for the fun of it.

Did you guys hear what T.O. said about McNabb? He was asked about Michael Irvin's comment that the Eagles would be undefeated if Brett Favre was their quarterback, and Y.O. said "Yeah, I would agree with that assessment. Favre is a guy who really knows the quarterback position, and a guy who knows how to play through injuries"

I really fucking hate T.O....as much as I hate the Eagles, I have a lot of respect for Donovan McNabb, and he doesn't deserve to be put down by a piece of shit like Owens.

Also, staying on topic, if I had to guess how to NFC East will shake up, I would say Giants will win the division, Cowboys will be a close second (and competing for a wild card spot), Eagles will be a close third, and the Redskins will struggle the rest of the way and fall behind the pack.

Actually, I'm pretty sure at least one of the Wild Card teams will come from the East. One will come from the South (Falcons or Panthers), and the other wild card spot will be either the Giants, Eagles, or Cowboys (with one of them winning the division)

Yeah, T.O. is fucking asshole. I hate it that he always rips on his QB's. Remember he did the same thing to Jeff Garcia in S.F., even though Garcia made 3-straight Pro Bowls, Owens said Garcia wasn't that good. Now he dogs McNabb every chance he gets. Wonder what T.O. would have to say if Gus Frerotte or Josh McCown was his QB?

I'm a huge McNabb fan (watched him play for 4 years at Syracuse) and I hope the Eagles are smart and release this guy from his contract after the season (he's due a roster bonus of like 7.5 million but the Eagles can choose to release him and not pay it). T.O. is a great player, but he's also a big distraction. I, for one, wouldn't want that distraction on my team.
