... be able to stop most of the Eagles offense. Secondly, they need to pressure Donovan McNabb, which is easier said than done. McNabb is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and is very hard to take down, as he is an excellent pocket passer and runner. The Giants are gonna need to be sneaky in their blitzing packages, but if they can do that, and they let Brandon Jacobs take over the field on offense, they should be able to squeeze out a win.

Because I'm something of a hateful prick, one of my favorite post-game pastimes is surfing the blogs of whatever NFL team that lost to the Eagles. As you might imagine, that Week 17 game against the Cowboys provided at least a year's worth of solid stroke-fuel. The Vikings, with their Midwestern stoicism, didn't give me much, but the Giants, oh, sweet, sweet, Giants. They have provided me with so much delicious pain. So irrational. So illogical. So, so beautiful. Join me, won't you, as we traipse through the mental and emotional collapse of a fanbase. (All misspellings, curious grammatical ...

... season exhibition, the game is, and will remain, irrelevant to both the
players and the fans. The NFL should do us all a favor, and nuke its All-Star
game out of existence instead. The players want nothing to do with it,
and even the most diehard of NFL fans won't bother to watch. The Pro
Bowl is a waste of time, effort and resources, no matter when or
where it's scheduled. Name a starting lineup and roster (for contract
bonus purposes), then call it a day. Period. Big Blue 101 writes: Honestly, I can't even remember the last time I watched the Pro ...

This is what Parcells was able to do with one off-season. Another stellar draft and a few free agent signings here and there should make for an even better 2009. All you need to do is make the postseason. The Fins have proven they can do that. Now they just need to make a run - and they have the Big Game being played at home as motivation.

... With the 29th pick, the New York Giants' blog, Big Blue 101, selects: ***Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina*** Click "Read More" for an explanation on why the Giants blog selected Nicks.
This is an ideal situation for the New York Giants, as the team is
ready to win now, and needs a dangerous receiving threat. I feel that
the 6'1 214lb Nicks is more ready to contribute right away than any
receiver in this draft. He may not have as high of a ceiling as Darius
Heyward-Bey, but his floor is also not ...

1. Dallas Clark vs. Miami Dolphins
Tony Gonzalez torched the Dolphins secondary in Week One and this bodes well for Dallas Clark, who now becomes Manning’s No. 2 target with the loss of WR Anthony Gonzalez. With the added attention Reggie Wayne will likely receive, look for Clark to be targeted early and often and put at least one TD in the end zone. Top fantasy football TE in Week Two.
