| Buckhalter out for Season - Eagles in trouble http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/PHI/8767897
Buckhalters 3rd season ending knee injury, in 4 seasons. Add that to the obvious turmoil TO and Philly are in. Stinkston is gone for the season.. Im not so sure about Philly this year anymore. They still have Westbrook, who is a beast. But the depth on their roster is thinning out seemingly by the week. Opinions? |

Rep Power: 10   | falcons are looking to be the favorites to win the nfc to me as this continues to mount up.. eagles also had an injuery to one of their young wr in the preseason... but their defense is still hard.. even tho their missing mcdougle..they did draft a big new back in the draft this year so maybe hell fill in for buckhalter nicely
but falcons strong running game and good d is starting to look better and better |

Rep Power: 7  | Fuck. The Eagles are always plagued with injuries. It shows how bad the NFC can get sometimes. An injury plagued team winning the conference championship.
The Panthers were fuckin ill last year. Even though they started off with injuries, they looked amazing towards the last stretch. Davis is back, and they got some more additions I think. But Muhammed is gone. I'm a little worried about that.

| Yea dude Muhammad was hands down TOP 3 nastiest receives last season. Now, he's a fuckin Bear. What a waste, Rex Grossman... no he's injured make that CHAD HUTCHINSON is going to be throwing him the ball..... |

Rep Power: 10   | panthers did very well given the injuries.. with jenkins back their d instantly gets a big boost again.. but mintner is injured to start the season.. and mrogan and jenkins have had a lot of bad luck with injuries.. so well see.. they are a good squad tho.. but i think falcons were strong last year and they improved some more.. if vick can manage to become more of a qb instead of a passing rb theyll do very well.. its just a matter of getting the wrs involved.. which i think is actually a decent squad this year
word @ muhammad.. but he is getting older..im hoping they play orton.. i know hes a rookie but i think he has more talent than either grossman or hutchinson |

| I dont doubt that. Since we talkin WR's, what ya'll think about Eli Manning this year? HE got Plaxico fuckin Burress to throw to, not to mention Shockey is still around and Tiki's supposedly revived. Ya'll think Burress is going to help this kid look a little less pathetic this year? I see a 7-9, maybe 8-8 season for them, which sucks but is a big improvement over 6-10 last year. |

Rep Power: 10   | i agree with year.. although if manning has a second season like payton they could have a far better record.. although the elbow injury worries me.. on wr burress is solid but not an outstanding reciver..hes a big strong target with nice hands tho.. shockey will get a lot of short dumps until he adjusts.. barber will stay revived cuz of their new rb..brandon javobs.. hes 6'4 265 lbs running a 4.5 40.. he was busting out big runs and making 3rd down conversions in the preseason.. hell give barber a rest adn keep him from having to attempt to bang out short yard gains and getting banged around which isnt his specialty
all in all the giants have the pieces in place to contend soon
i think the kid could be a beast |

Rep Power: 7  | I probably see them around 8-8 too. They added some more weapons. Take some of the pressure off of Shockey with Plaxico being there.
I think Eli will be productive this year. I'm sure he's learned a lot from last season. I think he held on to the ball a little too long last year. And I'm sure big brother Peyton has given him some pointers. Strahan is a presence on defense as usual. But I think they were 13th in total yards allowed. It's decent. Especially in the NFC.

| Ya'll remember that excorcist tackle some kat(forgot who it was) got on Eli last year? Where his head damn near did a 360? Im sure, during this offseason, his main focus during practice was releasing that fuckin ball faster. |

Rep Power: 7  | Yeah, they used to show it on their "Jacked Up" segments on NFL countdown. I'm surprised he got up from that though.

| Did you see his face when he did get up though? My man looked rattled, like being threatened with a thousand dicks in prison. |

Rep Power: 7  | hahaha. Yeah, Eli was shook.
He was supposed to have the year Ben Roethlisberger did. Maybe he wasn't comfortable with the offense.

| Dog, if you get drafted by one team, and DEMAND a trade, and actually get what you wanted. YOU BETTER BE FUCKING NASTY, and Im talking Terry Bradshaw, Otto Graham nasty.
I hated that dude the moment he started bitching , how can you enter the NFL with that attitude? I'd play benchwarmer for the Cards any day. |
