Here We Go.....2012 NFL Season Begins

At last, the day is here.  Football returns and we start with a game with playoff implications.  Yeah, I said it.  Two NFC East teams will start the season and both have actual playoff caliber talent.  The defending champs Giants will host the Cowboys.  It is worth noting that when ever these two teams have played the first game of the regular season, one team has gone on to win the Super Bowl.  That's right, WON the Super Bowl.  So that means that Romo gets over the hump or Eli will repeat and get number 3!  

That's an interesting "what if" scenario.  I the Giants do repeat as Super Bowl champions, would that move Eli past Brady?  What if Eli wins a 3rd Super Bowl MVP?  What then?  Brady is 22-22 in the playoffs and Eli is 8-3.  Sure Brady has been in the playoffs a lot more but if he is so great, why the average playoff winning pct.?  I still say that 3 wins should be taken away from Brady because of the "Tuck Rule" game but I digress.  I already feel that Eli has been severely underrated over his career.  Eli has thrown for over 4,000 yards in each of the last 3 season and at least 27 TDs.  He threw a league record 15 fourth quarter TDs.  He hasn't been a side note on the Giants, he's their leader.  He may not be flashy or a stereotypical QB, so to speak, but where is the love?  All this Rodgers and Brady the best QBs and then Payton is thrown in there.  WTH?!  If memory serves, didn't Eli beat both Rodgers and Brady en route to his second championship?  YES!!  Eli gets it done.  Fight it all you want but eventually you will acknowledge the fact that Eli is for real.  

Speaking about the best QBs, I could care less about who is favored right now.  Just like the pre-season ranking in college football, its all pointless because the games have to be played.  However, this will be an eye opening season for us all.  I believe a changing of the guard at the QB position.  I'm sure RGIII and Luck will do well but I think the top 5 QBs at the end of the season will be: (in no particular order) Eli, Vick, Newton, Daulton and Shaub.  Yeah, I said it.  No Payton, Brady, Rodgers, Brees or Rivers.  And whoever else you might want to mention.  I am setting the bar somewhat high for Newton and Daulton but if you really watch what they didn't last year, how can you not expect more?  The answer is that you can't.  Expect to hear those names more than normal this season.   Considering Vick stays healthy, the Eagles can and should run away with the NFC East.  It all depends if Vick stays upright and healthy.  Sure, that's a big if but you know you want to see what happens if he does.  I can't wait for the Panthers to visit Philly in week 12.  

Football is back.  Is it 5 o'clock yet?

  12. Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  18. First of all I would like to say wonderful blog!
    I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I've had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
    out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin.

    Any suggestions or tips? Appreciate it!
