Stop being crybabies, eagle and redskin fans!  Face it, the Cowboys have
a better team this year and have already demonstrated that against your
teams. And no, I'm not a fair-weather fan!  You guys should join LA-->

   Bengals lead the NFL with sacks. Surprised .... Well, that I guess is 
   "decent" pass rush. Look for Harbaugh to get sacked as many times or more
   than last week. 

   If Boomer's arm is as sharp as last week, look for him again in the top
   5 of the weekly QB ratings.

I have always loved McMahon, and I actually found myself rooting for the Eagles  
when he was at the helm.  (Normally, I don't like the Eagles.)

Also, even though McMahon's rating wasn't that good this week, he did the job  
and I distinctly recall the anouncer saying after one of McMahon's completions  
in which he was flushed out of the pocket that Randall would have put the  
football down and started running.

So, I think that if the Eagles want someone who passes when possible (the pass  
McMahon made was to a very wide open man.) I say they go with McMahon.

Also, I can't remember if it was this week or last week, but McMahon had a  
great run!

Conclusion:  McMahon can still do it, and he will try to use the offense  
instead of being the offense, so I say go with McMahon untill Randall shows  
that he can do the same.  (I believe Randall to be the better player when he  
does his job, which IMHO isn't to jump out of the pocket and run every chance  
he gets.)

Yes.  You have that all right.  See, anyone can think along with Joe
Bugel.  :-)

I do think that with the SF win Chandler has finally earned the coach's
confidence--for now.  I still think Rosenbach is pretty achy; he
didn't look too good in the series he was in at Philadelphia.  So 
that's just another reason not to switch QBs now.

Chandler.

I was just curious.  For the rest of you Eagle fans out there, who
would you rather have starting?  I know next week is only Green Bay,
but their defense could give Randall the confidence he needs.  On the
other hand, Jimmy Mac earned a starting job through his leadership
against the Raiders and a decent showing coming off the bench cold in
the Dallas game (allbeit with modest numbers).

And for the non-Eagle fans, who deserves the job?

Well, they may have a long way to go, but a 4-1 division record, including
convincing wins over the other two contenders for the division title, sounds
pretty good to me.  The Cowboys will end up at least 6-2, and maybe 7-1 in
the division, depending on whether or not the Redskins snap out of their
reverie.  The earlier wins against the Giants and the Cardinals were a lot
closer than either deserved to be, but in the meantime, the Cowboys defense
has gotten much, much better.

Coming from an Eagles fan, isn't this kind of ironic?  Or maybe they are

We'll see.  :^)

Young is a starting QB for what, one or two years now?  I seem to recall him
not being able to keep his job.  As a matter of fact, he was outplayed by Steve
Bono last year.  
And Young cannot run with Cunningham.  He's a better passer, but whenever
he runs he looks like he's going to fall over.  Randall runs like a wideout.
And neither of them can hold Marino's jock.  NFL men agree that Marino is
the best QB in the NFL (granted, probably since Montana retired.)  It was in
last week's issue of The Sporting News.

    I think that meant that the Bengals might go up to the line of

4th and short.

As the saying goes, now you know why he is on defense instead of playing
receiver. You know I hate to make a judgement on a guy this early, but
Hall really seems to have been overdrafted by the NIners. He has the worst
hands in recent memory for a DB(since ex Cardinal Cedric Mack), and for 
a guy who played corner in college(for a great defensive team no less),
he seems pretty lost in coverage too. He is a good hitter and seems to
play the run ok, but he certainly is not going to make people forget
about Ronnie Lott.

Ok, the 49ers outscored the Falcons 97-20 in two games in the last 3 weeks,
sandwiched around a loss to the Cardinals. This week the Falcons play
the Cards, so I guess it figures that the Cards would be underdogs?

Of course they will probably lose just to prove there is no logic to
predicting winners.

As I've stated previously, moron, a back that averages 77 yards for 16 games
gets 1232 yards.  You call that a mediocre back?  And it just so happens that
Barry Foster is averaging 104.7 yards per game, and has 6 100+ yard games.
He's on track for a 1675 yard season.  Mediocre?  Where are the stats for
Thomas that I asked for?  Put up or shut up.

 There was an article about this on the U.K. American Football show last Sunday.
 One of the venues for the soccer World Cup in 1994 is the Pontiac Silverdome,
 this will be the first time that a World Cup match will have been played indoors.
 The soccer authorities are insisting on a real grass pitch however, so a lot of
 research is being carried out to make this possible. Of course the grass will
 only have to survive for a few weeks during the World Cup however it would still
 appear that the major obstacle is the fact that stadium and team owners would 
 rather shorten players careers than spend money.

It wasn't so run efficiently ran last month, that was the
