34-78-83

I agree, Edge is probably the best current comparison in the league, or MAYBE Duece Mcallister.

If they overlook this game in any way (as with the others ahead) they WILL lose.

I seem to remember a risky pick made in 1988 for a pretty decent runningback too

A blowout win on the road across the entire country against a team leading their division deep into a season should never, ever, ever be considered "mediocre". That's just plain ridiculous. While being quite a Jeckle and Hyde team, the Hawks have plenty of talent and always had played well at home. Having the #1 rusher in the league is nothing to underestimate either.

Well they're both smallish, run the same speed, catch everything hands first, and precise routes. I'd say say that's pretty darn similar. Marvin will go up and get a ball from time to time himself, but that depends more on the type of throw....

I see some Marvin Harrision in him, although he's a bit sturdier than Marvin. Hopefully the results will be similar too!

adequate, yes, but it sure was nice when Jennings came back in.

We'll do ICE. When you have kids you can certainly relate to any Parent's strife, and I've got two of my own....

Fair enough. Of Course if they lose, it will likely be to balanced NE. Now if the Colts win, your theory is correct and my foot goes into my mouth

As nice as it would be, we are not likely to Win out the rest of the way, or even go 9-7 this year. There's always that game or 2 that comes up and stings you.

Yeah, and Sam Adams, Nate, Jennings, Milloy, Kelsay, Takeo, Lee Evans, Mike Williams , Brian Moorman, McGee, Chris V, keeping Moulds over Wiley, Teague, Shelton, etc. werent bad moves either Edit: Sorry Pete, you beat me to it!

I beleive Pittsburgh and Phili have both subscribed to the balanced approach as well.

0-4 without that new guy at RB. 5-2 since that new guy took over the majority of carries.

The teams that win year in, year out right now in this league have balance. To be a super bowl winner with all efforts put into only one facet of the team, you need to have among the best EVER of those units (IE Raven D, rams O, Bucs D, ) which is highly unlikely and much more risky. Those teams just so happened to have shown up all around the same time but I don't believe that trend will continue. The mass player movement that goes on now was not occuring when GB and Denver were winning (with their balanced terams)

Thats just it. I don't believe ANYthing ESPN tells me. Pats do not have anything close to the roster you speak of. They have GOOD players who are smart and play the scemes. Bucs have 2 great players on D, period. Rams are so overloaded on offense, they have Zero defense. GB has done it through the draft, and not at all with high round hype picks. Way to make my point for me, thanks!

Ok I'm officially accusing you of blatently trying to shorten your words per post average here

Once you pull your head out of the pre-free agency period you might realize that good players who play to the scheme are what gets it done these days and not impossible pro-bowl laden rosters, which no longer exist.

The Pick you again refer to was garnered in a magician-like high stakes swindling that TD pulled for Peerless Price, a guy who wanted out to be a "#1" WR (oops!) and should have walked for nothing. Ya gotta almost feel bad for Arthur Blank. It was a free pick and TD grabbed his nuts and took a chance.

Ok Ok, well we just disagree with you mmmmmkay?

It's somehow not surprising that a TEAM comparison to '87 has turned yet again into a Qb debate

Miami is the perfect speedy yet smallish defense for Willis to get 150+ against. We just have to get up on them early.

Well yes, ultimately it would come down to that. Who knows though, it's worth trying.

Ice, have you been hanging out with Mark Weiler a lot lately?

Bingo!

exactly.... And if ANYONE honestly could tell Jimbo was bound for the Hall in '87 you belong on a scouting team because although he brought "it", he was still quite erratic at times.
