    You think the Lions have a lot more talent than Minnesota? In WR and RB, but where else? In the QB position, which is probably the most important position in the NFL today, Minny has a HELL of a talent gap on Detriot's signal caller. And Minny has upgraded their defense exponentially.

    They look scary.
    I think the talent gap at WR is significant in Detroit's favor. When you have talent like that at WR you have the potential to seriously kick some ass that year.

    As far as the defense for Minny goes you never really know about a defense until they start playing. I wouldn't hold out much hope for them this year, maybe next.

      Well there is not much going on Eagles camp except for a minor disgreement between one of the WRs and Coach Reid. And McNabb. And the offensive coordinator. And the front office.

          Why? Rogers is NEVER healthy and Mike Williams has been holding out and who knows how prepared he'll be once the season starts. Roy Williams is the only one of the big three who you can count on right now.

          In contrast, Burleson, Robinson and Taylor are all in camp and playing.

          You can look at the talent and reasonably know how they'll work out. Minny has done a phenomenal job of bringing in defensive talent.

          If they don't win the division, it'll be a massive upset.

            Rogers is only 24, and it's only his third year; he probably wasn't fully prepared for the intensity and rigors of the pro game, but IF he does stay healthy, the sky's the limit.

            I'm praying for Garcia to step in...

              Not that I disagree with your overall point, but Mike Williams has been in camp for over a week now.



              And Garcia? Come on. The guy is 35 years old, and his stats last year were, at best, merely comparable with Joey's. The guy is a capable back-up, nothing more. If the Lions rely on him to steer the ship, they are ****ed.

                He's been to the Pro Bowl and the playoffs, While's his numbers dropped a bit last year, he's always had a decent rating and a favorable TD/INT ratio. To be honest, I can't think of anyone better to lead the team. He's said he's there to start, and I believe him.

                  His arm is too weak.

                  The best thing the Lions can do for the offense is to stretch the defense as much as possible with deep routes; the size and skill of the receivers will give them big advantages on deep balls, plus it will open up all sorts of running room for Jones.

                    And, as a side note, is there a bigger asshat in professional sports than Terrell Owens?

                      Yes... his name happens to be Ron Artest .

                        His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who appeared with him at the halftime of last nights game in some sort of surreal "we don't get no respect" spectacle...

                          No, I don't consider the mentally ill (Artest) or inveterate cheaters (Bonds) to be asshats, necessarily.

                          When I think of an asshat, I think of a guy who is just a plain old jerk.

                            There is one problem with the prior statement... Bonds ain't a cheater, since baseball never banned such a substance when he was supposed to be on it.

                            And Artest is a jerk. I'd much rather use mentally ill claim on T.O.

                              Oh, the hell he isn't a cheater. On ethical and moral grounds, he is the absolute worst kind.

                                If it ain't against the rules, he didn't cheat. Case Closed. Ethics and morals have no role in deciding cheating. Furthermore, baseball has even sent players to the Hall of Fame who were obviously cheaters (Gaylord Perry who used a spitball for years, even though it was banned before he was born).

                                Oh, and in further news, the Bears are SCREWED!
