Chiefs vs. Rams

Yeah that's sort of what I meant by "if boldin and shipp were healthy"

By the way, welcome to the board. In spite of your lone star affiliation it's good to have you here. It'll be even better after we rub it in on Sept. 27th!! :httr:

How did you find us?

The 27th will be a very entertaining evening

I think both teams will have a lot of success on the ground if we dont get our woes @ RDT solved

I'll be interested to see how portis performs in the tough NFC East as aoppsed to the creampuff defenses he's faced his first 2 years in the AFC west

Im not doubting his talent,,,but our division is a whole different animal these days

I think it'll be a blow out, but then again... I am bias.

Cowboys are basically going to win and lose ugly this year aren't they? All defense and running for the most part. How long until Drew Henson starts?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Redskins keep most of their play calling relatively simple until that MNF game. Gibbs has too much respect for Parcells to give him any uneccesary advantage

As for Portis, I've been wondering lately, could he actually be better than we've seen? I'm just wondering how much of a factor was playing in the high altitude of Mile High (sorry Invesco) on his stamina. Maybe he's capable of a lot more. Just a thought.

I dont think so..I think our offense is going to blossom and be pretty diverse. There is youth and experience....speed, quickness and elusiveness..size strength and power @ our skill positions

Testaverde's best year was in '98 when he threw for 29 TD's, 7 INT's and 3245 yards...Now, I understand this was 6 years but VT has the same coach and sytem back he had when he thrived,,,VT went 12-3 under BP

Henson is completing about 3/4 of his passes..his release is Marino like..lightning quick. He's got a rifle for an arm and is very accurate...He's got pocket presense with very good athleticism

He'ss be starting by '05 for sure...Im not sure about this year but I'll never underestimate this guy..he's truly special..

He doesnt look like he's missed a beat after 3 years in MLB

To get this guy for a 3rd rounder?...Call me a homer, but this turn out to be the best 3rd round pick since the Niners landed a certain guy from NotreDame 25 years ago

I think our offense will carry the D for a while believe it or not

Currently we have 5 new starters on our D..Wiley, Ellis (moved from LDE to RDE, RCB, SS and RDT. They are going to need time to gel

Parcells has mentioned more than a few times in his PC's that "We are just running plays" --not game planning..

The same goes for the Skins I see with JG..and rightly so..no need to tip your hand

I think Portis could be better, but I dont think his #'s will be as inflated as they were while in Denver

If Boldin and Shipp were healthy the Cardinals maybe, maybe, could have given the Rams a run for second in that division behind Seattle (who will lose to the Skins in the NFC Championship game by the way)

Niners have the cellar locked up

Rams look like a 9-7 team

You kidding smoot, 49ers are my long shot this year, and win the wild card. Ken Dorsey is going to come out and shock the nation when he gets the start and makes Rahaun Woods rookie of the year at receiver!!

You heard it here first!

more power to you Canes

what i want to see if if eddie has any gas left in the tank and how good JJ is... guess we'll see if they got a serious running game soon enough...

Skins N Canes:

I was passing thru Las Vegas about a week and a half ago and saw that the Niners were 20-1 to win the NFC West and 50-1 to win the NFC Championship and 100-1 to win the Super Bowl.

If you believe Dorsey is going to have a break-out year, you can make some significant coin off the casinos.

Personally, I think SF will stink this year...

Skins N Canes:

By the way, the over/under for total wins by the 49ers this year is 5. If you think they are a wild card team, you should be ready to collect your money by about Thanksgiving...

Sports: What did the Vegas folks think of the skins chances to make the playoffs this year? And did you lay any money down? I'm willing to guess that a crumudgeon doesn't go with cinderella-style long shots! ;)
