My take is you could always run the ball and rush the passer, but the quarterback position (especially with Culpepper) was always a problem in the big games. That defense was something else this season, but without a competent QB who can make the throws and take a hit, there's a ceiling for just about any NFL team once December rolls around.

At least you don't have to live your existence as a Viking fan...wow it's been painful at times! Billick was a genious as the OC here in Minnesota.

McNabb was dead to me as well after his choke in that superbowl...all the Chunky soup in the world can't replace what that guy is missing. Watching the NFL network these past few weeks, they have commercials running for a new super bowl program, a few clips with Naimith and Cower getting emotional talking about their championships, and to think about how nonchalant McNabb was against us in that 4th quarter...if I were a Philly fan, I'd be very nervous about this guy!

Something happened to McNabb in that 'Bowl v. the Pats. I think he puked up his mojo right there on the forty yard line. His deep confidence was shot even before TO ripped the team apart. Outwardly, he seems ok. But there's something missing. Merriman by himself doesn't worry me too much. Merriman on one side and Phillips on the other worry me--we can't go 2 TEs all day and our right tackle spot was the shaky side v. the Jets. One thing's certain: this is going to be good.

He's the typical guy who pays top dollar for the left tackle and cornerback, drafts very well in one area, pathetic in another, and cannot handle an ego approaching the size of his own within 100 yards of him at any time. He got paid back by karma though, as his playcalling was Fassel's job before he sandbaged him. I'm nervous like always, but not as much as the national media would want me to be...everything's Merriman...like a scheme can't be implemented to keep him out of the backfield or something. Jason Taylor is probably the only guy that deserves as much talk as Merriman is getting right now. And the last time I checked, Rivers was in his first year as a starter and beat out Brady for the pro bowl...so it's probably time for the record to be set straight the way our Patriots normally have to before the world wakes up. The Saints do indeed look good, but Philly was tired. They couldn't tackle tonight. I think Jeff Garcia is better than McNabb...even at 37. I don’t get it either.

I've no idea where Billick gets this reputation as a genius. I guess you can give him some credit for doing exactly the opposite of Edwards. Edwards wouldn't throw. Billick wouldn't run. Although they're both guilty of doing the same thing: seizing like an engine out of oil. Freezing like a deer in the headlights. Saints look good. I'm getting nervous about tomorrow as if I was actually playing... Funny, really. I’ve no idea where Billick gets this reputation as a genius.
