Dallas takes a 30-3 lead over the Eagles. I know the Eagles came back last week, but this is about twice as big of a lead they have to overcome.

What he said... Carr can be at least a serviceable NFL QB, he's only looked really bad when he gets sacked 6-7 times a game and has to force passes just to get them off in time. Somebody will want Leinart (or Young even if he keeps his season on track) bad enough that they can probably get a real nice package of picks for the #1 |

What's up with Peyton? 169 yards and 2 INTs, no TDs.

And here I was wondering when TO was going to explode on the sidelines. Should have known it would have been Keyshawn

Gosh, facing the Colts D on your first start, you really gotta feel for Alex Smith

Ugh. Why on 4th and 5 late in the game would you throw down the field to the endzone and a jump ball? Mccown threw for near 400 yards again, but really showed some nerves late in the game. Cards really should have won that game.

You didn't think they'd luck into a win 4 weeks in a row, did you? The Redskins of this year really remind me a lot of last years Broncos. They can do some things on offense to frustrate you, but they are inconsistent as hell and make mistakes. The defense is just solid. You look up at the end of the game and say "wow, look at that, 220 total yards, only a td or two given up." Then you realize they didn't have a single game changing play in the game. No sacks, no forced turnovers, no stuffs for four yard losses. That type of defense can work if you have an offense that can put points on the board. But when you have an offense like Denver or Washington, you need your D to give you a short field once in awhile. The Broncos have forced turnovers this year and have put pressure on the QB. (though today the pressure only came in spurts, it did come, it never came for Washington) If the turnovers and the pressure stops, so will the W's. And for the Skins, I'm not sure they can win unless their defense starts to make things happen. |

By the NFL scouts? Leinhart. Right now he's considered the best QB prospect to come down the pike sinse Peyton Manning left school. There are almost zero questions about him. Strong arm, pro style offense, big game pedigree, consistent both years as a starter. . . That could always change as the microscope gets shown on him this year, but it isn't likely. |

If Wash's D put no pressure on Plummer, how the hell did he only come up with 9 completions and 92 yards passing?

Simple, he sucks. Tell me one time when Plummer hit the deck on a passing play Buc. He simply wasn't hit. The coverage was great (the CB's play on Lelie late in the game was incredible). But Plummer was rarely even made to move on a pocket pass. He never once had to scramble (his only runs were on rollouts when everyone was covered and he took off) He never once had his arm hit, a pass tipped at the line, or anything like that. Again, the Redskins D is very good, they just don't make plays. Four games played now, 4 turnovers forced and 4 sacks. That's against the Bears rookie QB making his first start, the Cowboys, the turnover/sack prone Seahawks and Denver. |

# of teams in the NFC East with a record over .500: 4
# of teams in the rest of the NFC with a record over .500: 4 Can we eliminate the playoff spots for the NFC North and West winners and just have the entire NFC East, the winner of NFC South and a wildcard in the playoffs? |

Yeah, they were, but you ahve to factor in a few things there: 1) It was freezing rain all game. Plummer plays horribly in the rain/snow and always has. 2) Washington has a solid D, even if they don't make enough game changing plays. 3) The Broncos played in horrible field possession for much of the second half, being backed up inside the twenty multiple times. Still, an ugly performence. The good thing is he didn't make the killer mistake (or any mistake for that matter) No fumbles, no INT's. If he's going to suck, it's nice when he sucks without turning the ball over. At least we have a chance to win if he can do that. |

*sigh* tough game to lose, this game like many this weekend were horribly officiated. The lack of holding calls on boths sides of the ball was apalling.
Congrats Jags, you made the plays you had to. Cincinnati really has to figure out how to play run defense. it still sucks. Taylor won that game for the jags, period. Leftwich was awful. but when you rip off 20 yard runs regularly, the passing game really isn't all that important. 4-1 still a damned good record. Do we still have more wins than all but what? 5-6 teams in the NFC? Gotta get ready for the Division games coming up. Big stuff the next few weeks. |

It's a phrase to indicate that the player didn't really extend his arms to try to catch the ball because he was too worried about protecting himself from a big hit. |

EaglesFan prettymuch nailed it. Alligators have tiny little arms, so it's slang for when a guy doesn't extend his arms out, because he knows he might be about to take a hit. Schoebel alligator-armed a totally catchable ball that would have gone for about a 15 yard gain. Next play Palmer is hit and fumbles, Jags recover, game over. Makes you wonder what might have happened. |

It wasn't his best game but I was REALLY impressed with Palmer's performance. There were multiple Jaguars in the backfield on every play just about, but his demeanor was real sharp; he always seemed to know what was going on.

Yep, the Cats are unfortunately playing to their level of opposition, which likely means another close game next week in Detroit.
BTW, that opening day loss to New Orleans is going to loom larger and larger. I heard on the radio coming back from lunch that Deuce's done for the hear after tearing up his knee, which means the Saints are pretty much toast now. |

The Chargers are wearing their throwback unis tonight. It's amazing how refreshing a white helmet is, since they're pretty rare. White pants are even more rare these days, I absolutely hate the dark-on-dark trend that almost every team in the league seems to have adopted.

Roethlisberger doesn't get enough credit for his mobility. He has unbelivable running instincts, which is way more important than flat-out speed. I'm impressed every time I see him play.
