Dudes !
KrzyKat How you doing ?
Have you got a Tat dedicated to the "Champs" yet ?
E-A-G-L-E-S = darkhorse in the NFC East.Mcnabb's Last Year- ya know he wants to look good for the next team and make some big Bucks.Westy is the best back in the NFC.Defense has a chance to be good.
Cowboys look great on paper - but cant win in the playoffs.What off field drama awaits ?
Skins - No QB new coach
YOU GUYS - The Champs;Love the D but sorry no love for Eli (the tat ?).
Its gonna be a great division again.
:evil: :evil: :evil: :D
You should come down my way and watch a game.
:evil: :D
Are you setting up the league ?
:smile:

If folks are serious about some FF, I'm in---I'll warn you, I've been into it for over 15 years and am in 2 leagues....so I'd be planning on some serious :x :x :x

BTW, Mr. Jedi....

"Skins - No QB new coach"....


Ummm, #1 I assume you don't realize Jim Zorn is the new coach who's bringing in the West Coast offense's passing game (while leaving Gibbs' running game as is) which Jason Campbell excels in.

#2 have you heard of Colt Breenan---stud QB who broke almost every NCAA record at Hawaii---or better yet, did you see the clinic he put on in the first game last Sunday?? I know it was vs scrubs but he's still a monster iin the making.

Not that I'm a 'Skins fan, but they could easily be alot better than most people think.

"Westy is the best back in the NFC.".....highly debatable given Mr. Barber is now TheMan in Dallas. I hate to jinx the Eagles cause I do like em, but this could easily be the year your beloved Westbrook rides the pine with a bad injury. He's getting old and has always been a bit on the fragile side.



GO STILLERS!!!!!!

Dude Dude Dude !
Westy is faster smarter has better hands and is more important to his team than Barber.
Westy led the league in total yards too.
Westy wins in the play offs.Hes only 29.
Last year the Skins made the playoffs with Todd Collins at Qb - not J.Campbell.
I dont think that is a good fit for Campbell either the West coast offense new coach new system.
No way.
Colt Breenan ????The Rainbow Warriors????
A few years ago the Birds had Tommy Chang from Hawaii.He set a lot of records too.Hes no where.
Skins are last.
Giants have a great D but also have Eli.
Dallas is the paper champ - but the next playoff win will be their 1st under Romo.T.O is old.
E-A-G-L-E-S will be right there.
KAW KAW !!
Under the radar and all.
Steelers Schmeelers.
You guys come to Philly this year.For a beat down.
You wont make the playoffs.
Lets do this FF thing - I'm like the RainMan of stuff like that.

:twisted:

God I love when Eagles fans get pumped about their season only to have it get crushed.

Yes I am a Dallas fan. And I actually like Westbrook, maybe the only Eagle I have ever liked but he just gets hit too many times. Did Shaun Andrews decide to come out of his personal issues retirement and join the team yet? I actually feel bad for him, have no beef with him, seems like a nice kid.

McNabb is done. Too much of a whiner, TO was right about him all along and everyone knows it now. One thing about Marion Barber, he may not be as important to his team as Westbrook, but he is the emotional fire that lights Dallas up. However they can plug in Tashard Choice this year and still be productive. Don't forget Felix Jones is in the mix as well probably getting 10 touches a game. Both rookies but RB rookies have the quickest learning curve.

Yes Dallas looks nice on paper and I agree until they can win in December and beyond, I won't be impressed. There really isn't any drama besides what the media tries to create. Only thing that stopped them last year was Patrick Crayton dropping a TD pass in the playoffs vs. the Giants.

To get back on the subject I am down with the fantasy league again. Much like Dallas I rolled through the league last year and hit a wall in the playoffs. Atomic Wedgie is back and will reign supreme.

and Philly stinks.

it only took him 7 years to do it too! WE like it when people don't expect much out of us. Eli has more to prove for sure, our d line (even with out Strahan) is still solid. I say we do the NFL fantasy league this year. Any other suggestions

As for the tat all my skin is reserved for Jerry and my daughter

Eagles? When was the last time anyone took THEM seriously?? MAYBE the year they went to the SB and got their hopes & dreams crushed...other than that - MAYBE 1981 - with the same results.

Horrible team - one great player.

Barber is a beast - don't knock him. He can go up the gut better than Westbrook. Personally, I'd probably rather have Westbrook on my team - more TDs for FF.

I went to Steelers' camp yesterday. Eagles have no chance. Friday, maybe...but not in the regular season.

Dallas wins the NFC East this year...but don't count out the Giants. If Jacobs stays healthy...look out.

Was wondering if anyone has ever done an actual RUKind league on say a yahoo board? If so, then we'd obviously have to have a draft, a commisioner etc...

Given that it can be tricky to accomplish a draft with 8-12 people, I thought I'd float an idea and see what folks think.
This is off-the-top of my head and so, I haven't thought it through real well, but, I was thinking that we could:

1. see who all wants in--maybe the winner would get two CDs from every losing team sent to them.

2.pick one QB, 2 RBs, 2WRs and one TE each week--we'd have to decide on a scoring system.

3. Only be able to use a player ONE time in the ENTIRE season...So, if you used Peyton Manning, Brian Westbrook, Marion Barber, Hines Ward, Terrell Owens and Antonio Gates in week one, you could not use them again all year....rosters would have to be in say by 12:59 pm on Sunday.

4. Whoever has the most points in a week would get one point. Player at the end of the season with most points wins the CDs. We'd establish weekly and year-end tie-breakers.

This way we'd need no draft and no set amount of participants. Of course there could be infinite variations on this idea...

Thoughts???
