DONOVAN MCNABB RETURNED TO PHILAPELPHIA YESTERDAY!!!
STOP THE PRESSES!!! HOLY CRAP!!! MCNABB!!! IN PHILADELPHIA!!!
SOMEBODY ALERT THE PRESS!!!
Ahem… Sorry.
More impressive, he scored a touchdown. But then he ran out of bounds at the end of the game on a 3rd-down scramble rather than sliding to keep the clock moving. Typical McNabb. Let’s call it a ‘push’ for his overall game grade.
I say we just coronate the Jets today. They’re awesome. Really.
More seriously, is it just me or does the NFC in general seem to be weak this year? Look at it this way, if you were to compile a list of the top 10 teams in the league at this point, would there be more than 2 teams from the NFC on that list? And really, the Saints would be there only because they’re the defending champs. Green Bay is the only other team that might get a mention. Weird. It seems like the competitiveness of the NFC at large tracks with the competitiveness of the NFC East.
The AFC, by contrast, is loaded from top to bottom. The Jets and Patriots, the Steelers and Titans, the Chargers, the Colts are all solid contender teams, though there’s a pretty clear pecking order there as well. Still, I don’t have to stretch to make a case for those teams. Then there are teams like the Ravens, Dolphins, Jaguars and Chiefs that fans can make a case that they’re good.
By the way, that’s 10 from the AFC alone.
Luckily for the NFC, it’s only Week 4. There’s still time for teams to start to come together.
But the clock is ticking.
