RE:No shows in Superbowls...
Isn't simply getting to the superbowl good enough.  It means that the two teams
in it are the best in their respective conferences.  

And remember this... statistically, the Broncos DO NOT HAVE THE WORST SUPERBOWL
RECORD!  The Minnesota Vikings do.  I'm not sure of the exact score, but they
are also 0-4 and were outscored by more points and have never led a superbowl.
So there.  "Take that to the bank"

Well, I just scored a tix to the Sunday 1:PM Giants game...

So I really dont pay much attention to Phoenix (does anyone?) so can any 
Phoenix fans give me some predictions on what to look for?

Look for the Giants to push hard in the first half to wear them down for 
second half. I think the Giants HAVE to push the first half of this game.
Seeing how poorly they played when they stalled in the second half of Raider 
game, they want to score big in the first half so they dont get caught with 
10 points for a final. 

And look for "Baker-Baker the touchdown maker" 
and my new boy Ed McCaffrey at TE in the endzone for this game! 
(A while back I asked anyone with info on McCaffrey to post it, I think he 
came from Stanford U??? Anyone else on this???)

I also think Collins will play it safe 
and bat those close ones down instead of going for the INT.

Who's gonna win?  NY is the favorite, but I'll restrain myself after my 
Raider prediction...

   2) Who is this player called K-mart and why is he called that?

Kevin Martin, great posession receiver for the Cowboys, but  not a
big play threat.  K-mart is also a very large US chain store selling garden
equipment, stale popcorn, and bad clothes.  Oh, the slurpees aren't bad,

After all the debate and arguing the Eagles fans aren't gloating and the

Eagle's D dominated.  Aikman looked slow and a lot of his passes were behind
the recievers.  Cunningham didn't pass as well as before but got the job done.
Dallas' secondary did a better job than I thought but the LB's didn't.  Emmit
did OK but not good enough (<100 yds).  Eagles running game did better than
Dallas' (I'm not sure about the #'s tho).  At KC,Phoe,Dall home for Wash. in

or 14-2 (nobody will ever go 16-0 again).  No reason to see anybody else in

Okay, so it's only the Cards, but it's great to win anyway...
  Nice day for Rodney Hampton: 167 yards on 21 carries including a
pretty 63 yard scamper for a TD in the first quarter.  Jeff "the
Cardinal Killer" Hostetler is a perfect 6-0 against the Cards. 
Although he had slow day passing (with 260 yards on the ground, who
needs to pass?), Hoss kept the Cards off balance with an occasion
bootleg and some decent play action, all capped off by a nifty 16 yard
jaunt into the endzone in the 3rd quarter.

Nope, sorry.  I only saw one half, but what I saw was Jackson catch a
couple of short passes and then get up and exhort the crowd.  He
didn't catch any TD's but he did catch 3 for 43 yards.  He really
seemed fired up, though and he was firing up his teammates.

    or has lost it, is therefore "suspect" as a great QB. Was Dan Fouts a 
    great QB?

jg> Gary, alright, don't accept my contention that the SB is the one game that
    counts. Don't you ever listen to the the NFL players who are always stating
    the obvious. I.e., winning the SB is their lifetime goal. If you can't un-
    derstand that, then it is a mute and useless endeavor for you to ever "see"
    my point.

  (The word is "moot", not "mute".)

  I don't disagree that winning the SB is the object of most player's careers.
  However, I fail to see how that translates into John Gloria's opinion that
  until and unless a player (more specifically, a QB) wins an SB, he cannot be
  considered to be a "great QB". I don't base my views on a QB, or any other
  player, or coach, on one single game. Heck, George Halas never coached in a
  SB, or played in one, ergo, he's a "suspect" player/coach, right? I wonder
  what standard you use for determining the greatness of a player when he has
  never had a chance at an SB.

jg> Yes, I know, you are satisfied coming in second along with the conference 
    championships, well that is your right.

  No, I'm not satisfied, but neither do I consider Kelly/Cunningham/Elway/&c
  to be less-than-great QBs because of one game. Your 49ers certainly were
  spanked by Kelly & Co., do you consider Kelly a "suspect" QB, even though
  he outplayed and outduelled Steve Young? After all, the Bills won, and that
  counts for everything, eh? Heck, if Kelly loses 2 SBs, he cannot beat a
  team that's won 4 of them, correct? Maybe his stats do have a part in his
  ability to win the Big Games, eh?

  Sorry, I still think you're too narrow in your view, and wrong in that too.

Don Majkowski did not practice Wednesday.  He may be suited up for 
Sunday's game against Cleveland.  That probably means he won't play 
execpt in an emergency.  He is running but only in a straight line.

Darrell Thompson may start at halfback against Cleveland.  Holmgren: 
"Now that Darrell's back we're going to hand him the ball and see 
what happens."

Kitrick Taylor has been getting more reps in practice lately.  
Holmgren is (not surprisingly) not happy with the production of the 
WRs, Sanjay Beach and Robert Brooks, who have been playing opposite 
Sterling Sharpe.  Sharpe has 31 recps in 5 games, Beach and Brooks 
together have 14.

The Packers have picked up Cory Harris from waivers from the Houston

Some people have commented that by Nov. 1, Dallas will be a much better team
and the Eagles will be the same or slightly worse. What they are overlooking
is that the Eagles played by far their worst game of the year so far on monday.

They can improve tremendously in their passing game, which had been excellent
until monday. Especially against a suspect Dallas secondary. 

Also, before anyone books dallas in the Superbowl this year, you might want to
consider that Dallas has yet to beat a team with a winning record (in fact
they have only played 1 team with a winning record this year, so I'm not saying
they're bad, just that is premature to make a judgement). In addition, the
Eagles outrushed Dallas 160 - 80 yards, I thought Dallas was capable of stopping
the run, but that is a bad sign for Dallas in a rematch.


Lastly, good teams don't give up 21 points on 4 turnovers. If you look
at the Eagles-Saints game the Eagles had 5 turnovers and gave up 6 points.
That's the best mark of a quality defense

Will we go 16-0?? Fat fucking chance. But it sure feels good to

go undefeated as the only team they have really pasted has been
flo. The other teams have been beaten by a competent and lucky
Fins. But they are winning and I have to say I am happy as shit.  

Evidently the Fins are planning some kind of celebration to 
commemorate the 20th anniversary of the undefeated season. This  
celebration is scheduled to happen the Monday night we play the
bills. Probably coincidence. 

In case anyone out there is so stupid as to ask;"Who can beat the
Fins"? Let me just say... The jets. The colts... Yes the colts..
The jets, no matter how much they suck always play the fins tough.
The colts, no matter how much better the fins are, may actually win
one this year. And of course with the next bills game the schedule
begins. Any of the late games could be losses. But here we are in
the middle of October and still undefeated. 

Is this fun or what?

Why did the Minnesota Vikings feel so confident in Rich Gannon that they
released Wade Wilson?  I think Gannon's good but Wilson was a pro-bowl player a
few years ago when he led the NFC in pass rating.

I think the biggest mistake the New Orleans Saints made was making Steve Walsh
inactive and placing him 3rd behind Bobby Hebert and Mike Buck.  Yeah, the kid
struggles, but how's he supposed to get any better? He was great at the
University of Miami but his talent goes wasted if he's inactive (much the
reason the Cowboys traded him, as they had Troy Aikman). Since he doesn't have
a strong arm but IS accurate he fits perfectly into the Saints conservative
scheme.

That game was Sept 23, 1973. The Dolphins lost 12-7, stopping their
consecutive win streak at 18.

The last regular season game between the raiders and Dolphins was
Monday night, Nov 19, 1990, when the Raiders won 13-10 in a defensive

The Chiefs huge offensive line matches up well with Dallas'
smallish defense.  The Chiefs are one of the best teams in
football and nobody knows it.  Don't tell anyone.

First, how many people who read r.s.f.p do you think attended the game?
Second, how many of those do you think threw beer bottles, etc.?
Either write and editorial to a Philadelphia newspaper and address the correct
group of people, or be a little less condemning.

Besides, how do you know the culprits were Eagles fans?  :-)  And unless
you're referring to some water gun filled with a viscous substance, spell it
"uzi."
(I know, you referred to the "fans at the Vet," not Eagles fans, but that was
the implication.)

Also, how do you know they weren't aiming for you, not the field?

Randall Cunningham for president.
Go EAGLES!
