	Sorry, dude, but I'd have to rank Kelly and Cunningham AND Aikman ALL
ahead of Young!  The only reason Young seems so great is the '49ers other
offensive personnell.  Moreover, the Bills STILL beat them!  I don't care what
the NFL's official ranking system says, Young just isn't that great.

41-7.

no big suprise. 

Actually, Pats kept it close for one half. (0-6)

Then Kelly ripped apart the secondary.

Kelly completed 15 passes for more than 300 yards!!!

Millen completed 18 passes for about 200 yards.

Thats the difference in the game.

Kelly had all day to throw, and throw deep.

Millen was often hurried, and mostly stuck with dump-passes
of less than 10 yards.

This defeat is a real demoralizer for the Pats...

  As a fellow Giant fan, I second your enthusiam for Sunday's contest

offensive line along with the crushing running of Word and then Okoye
obliterated the Raider defense...look for much of the same on Sunday,
especially in the second half after Jumbo and company have worn down

Joe Namath is a legend of the game in a way Elway can never be, because
Namath led his team to the AFL's first victory in the Super Bowl.

Fouts's Chargers lost two playoff games AT HOME that they should have
won, one to a Houston Oiler team missing an injured Earl Campbell
and the other a conference championship game to the Raiders.  He had
his chances to lead his team to Super Bowl glory.

I wouldn't rate Jim McMahon over Dan Fouts, but I would rate Fouts
below either Ken Stabler or Jim Plunkett (I am not a Raider fan).

Only that the Lions' only win against the Vikings wasn't really an
adequate description of how both teams were playing.  Peete couldn't
connect in that game either.  The Lions are lucky that they are not
4 games back of the Vikings.

	The Bears will fade and so will Tampa Bay.  The Vikings and
the Lions are the only teams that have the talent to win the division,
but the Lions will have to get Barry running better to get some W's.

Well, there are now only four undefeated teams left, and it so happens that
they face each other next week. The Dolphins vs the Bills and the Cowboys
against the Eagles. It should be a fun weekend to watch football.

The Dolphins are my favorite team, but I have to admit that they have yet
to prove themselves. They've barely squeaked by twice now against teams
they should have beaten easily. I didn't get to see yesterdays game
since I live in Houston. How did the defense do? Did Vincent play?
The 3-0 start has to give the dolphins a great confidence boost going into
Buffalo. The fact that two of those games were away should also help. But can they
win against the Bills in Buffalo? I wouldn't bet on it, but it's certainly 
possible. The Bills have looked pretty awesome, so far and will be very confident.
Let's hope they're overconfident.

The Cowboys and Philadelphia could be a great game. I give the edge to the
Eagles because they're playing at home and because somehow I don't really think
the Cowbows are really as good as they've played so far.

 *or* to keep the punting team from batting the backward towards the

I just had a few questions about the Eagles.

1)  Offensive line improvement.

	b) how's Ben Smith doing?
	c) are there any other key injuries?

3)  Holdouts and acquisitions.
	a) I hear Miami is tendering an offer for Keith Jackson.
	   Could someone give me more info?
	b) Aren't the Eagles trying to pick up or make any
	   trades?  I'm getting worried about the moves

>> Philly is .500 in monday night games (3 years, I believe) and winless against

According to the games DB (available for everyone to FTP, as you all know)
the Eagles didn't play on MNF in 1984-1987.

In 1988, they beat the Giants 24-13 (That was the big "Randall fakes
Carl Banks out of his shorts" game where Cunningham first became a
national hero).  The Giants ended that season 10-6.

In 1989, the Eagles lost on MNF 13-27 at Chicago (6-10) and lost again
20-30 at New Orleans (9-7).  The game at New Orleans was in week 15,
when the Eagles were 10-4 and almost assured of a wildcard spot, while
the Saints were 7-7 and trailing the playoff race.

In 1990, they beat the 6-10 Vikings 32-24, and the 10-6 Skins 28-14 (both
at home).

Last year, they lost 0-23 at Washington, beat the 8-8 Giants 30-7, and
won 13-6 at Houston (11-5).

That makes them 5-3 in MNF, 4-0 at home, 1-3 on the road.  They are 1-0
against division-leading teams from Texas.

Of course I can prove you wrong. Suppose the Eagles are the best team in 
the league, and the 49ers aren't the #2 team, then the Eagles have to play 
their best game against that #2 team in order to win the SB. So the 
contingency is, are the 49ers the 2nd best team in the league right now?

Based on records, they aren't. Based on head to head, they aren't. Buffalo
is better than S.F. So the Eagles have to play their BEST game against
the Bills or the Dolphins, not against the 49ers.

I can also easily say that "the 49ers have to play their BEST to beat the 
Eagles"  to counter your statement. In other words, it implies that
the 49ers are no better than the Eagles.

Now disprove it! 

>It is only an observation I made based on who they played. 
My observation is based on who the 49ers played too. They didn't beat
any of the unbeaten/1-loss teams. At least the Eagles beat two.

I'm curious about how this computer calculates things.  The Eagles' defense,
right now, is #1 in:  yards allowed (total, run and pass), points against,
first downs, and a few other stats that have slipped my mind.  As I recall,
the only defense stat they are NOT #1 is sacks.

Granted, they've played one less game than New Orleans, but how does
Washington come out ahead?
