I still see them being better than a majority of the teams in the nfl, philly looked good suprisingly their first game..but it might had just been the teams they were up against. Dallas even though I don't really like them.. they looked good in eveyr area their first game.. I see them as bein a contender.. colts looked shitty. Steelers look solid with willie parker back,.. I think tahts the only thing that threw them outa the playoffs last year. The lost their premier back the LAST game of teh regular season.. and at that time he was leading rusher in the nfl,.. so not having him cut their legs out from under them. Still see the patriots going through with at the very least a 10-6 record.. but it has a very high possiblity of being better than that. Relying on the fact sam cassell can just avoid from turning the ball over an handing the ball off to hsi sick running backs.. an being able to find open randy moss 4 outa 10 plays, an welker making cuts like his j.. o .. b. , he's gotta love it.. thats like the best team to come into as a young qaurterback, or inexperienced qaurterback, all those weapons. they solid still. veryy
