Hasn't Al Davis publicly stated that the Oakland Raiders would move back to LA as long as they had a stadium to house their team in? Perhaps the return of the silver and black is in order.

Steve Smith of USC and the New York Giants has been signed by the Eagles. Totally solid third receiver and can be a second option if Maclin can't get healthy.

So whats with Rex Grossman thinking the Redskins will win the NFC East? Pretty sure they'll end up dead last, with the battle being between Dallas and Philadelphia for the title.

Rex Grossman found himself in a super bowl one year... anything is possible.

That's just like Trent Dilfer story..winning simply on good defense.

I remember Rex Grossman actually being pretty good at the start of that superbowl year. Then he became very inconsistent. Then he became consistently awful.

Probably this

Buffalo and Vikings have also expressed interest in moving too I think...

I don't remember Dilfer being as epicly terrible as Grossman. I've always felt the statement "the Bears made the Super Bowl despite Rex Grossman" to be fairly accurate. I remember Dilfer being mediocre but steady, as opposed to to Grossman who repeatedly submarined games single-handedly.

Edit- Maybe Rex wasnt as bad as consistently as I remember. But he had a below average season to say the least.

Rex Grossman hasn't been relevant since 2007

Anybody else remember this game? Keep dreaming Grossman.

I'm not sure the eagles could miss the playoffs, if their 2 new corners (neither of which I could ever hope to spell correctly) play at their best level, no one is gonna score well through the air against the eagles. Vick, when he's on, is one of the most frustrating players to defend in the nfl, and he has some good players to throw to.

I'm super excited to see the packers this season. They were, if I remember correctly, the most injured team in the NFL last season (based on starters missing games.) With Jermichael Finley back, who I think could be one of the next great tight ends in the NFL, Aaron Rodgers is gonna have even more targets to chuck to, and if Ryan Grant can finally give them a running game, the Packers are gonna be hard to beat. Plus, they have Thor playing linebacker, how can you lose that way?

Yeah funny how the pack is getting zero attention or hype. It's like the Eagles won teh SB last year. Kinda funny how the bullseye is on a team that didnt get passed the first round of the playoffs.

Imagine if the packers had gotten a great RB and elite TE during the free agency. That's essentially what they did since Grant and Finley are coming back. Isn't almost their entire team from last year coming back healthy as well? I usually don't buy into teams repeating in the NFL, but i wouldnt be surprised at all if the Pack can do it this year.
