J.J we can debate this all you want (you, from a distance, can call me what
you want), but, as I see it the Eagles had a better Defense than the Saints
and with a better offense it would not have been an issue, I never said
the Saints 'D was bad.

D. Thomas (K.C) is better, and he has no support (as Swilling does).
Here is some thing to ponder J.J, remember the GIANTS/Saints game
a couple of years ago? you know, the one with Yooung Swilling and the 
"one armed" LT and the 2nd and 3rd string QB's remember who was the 
better player of the 2 ?
in that game.

My ppoint and the rest of us NFCEPB, is NAME A CONFRENCE THATS IS BETTER
THAN THE NFC EAST (based on the number of competive teams in it, as well
as their playoff apparence,and oh SB wins in the 80's).

This NFCEPB was ask "What is the fascination with the NFC east?"
I responded with *MY* reasons. I did not mention good or bad aspects
of any other teams/confrence/player because that's not what Darrel
ask of us NFCEPB.
