I want to see how the Raiders will do this season after their subpar performance at the Superbowl.

Go Raiders!

Are you ready for some football?!?!!!!! Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Philadelphia Eagles!!!!! It's tonight and it's going to be awesome, and hopefully the Eagles win. Is anyone else hyped about this game as I am, or is my hype just due to the fact that I'm a fan of one of the teams? Well I wish I could talk about the game after it's over, but I'll probably be in bed because of school so, well whatever. I was just wondering, out of the NFL fans on here, who do you think will win the game, and what strategies do you think they should make? I still am unsure of who should win, but I think the Eagles should just blitz the Buc's QB Brad Johnson a whole bunch of times in the first quarter, so then he'll be quite worn out.

I'm pretty excited for this one too, though that's because I am an Eagles fan. I think the Eagles will win, partly because the fans and environment of the new stadium and everything will act as the 12th man out there, which is always a plus. I'm still concerned about the defense for the eagles though. At this point, we really don't have any depth at DE, we're gonna be rotating in DTs just because we don't have many options. This doesn't bode well for the pass rush, and in order for the eagles to win they must get to Brad Johnson, something they didn't do in the championship game. I know Donovan will play well, and we'll have a steady rotation at RB with Bucky, Duce, and Westbrook, and I think Thrash and Pinkston are steady enough to produce the kind of yards we need from the receivers. It should be a close game, I'm just throwing out 23-17 Eagles as a guess.

I agree on the DE situation, it's really sucks that we lost two DE's in the preseason games, but I guess we should be okay. We just need to step it up in everything thing tonight, I know the Eagles can beat the Bucs. I wish I didn't have to do homework, because I want to watch Monday Night Countdown, but I'd rather do the homework now than during the game so it's not a big deal, I just can't wait.

The Eagles will probably win.

I wish you guys better luck than the Packers.
