Default Re: ***Official Week 3 FF Thread***

Do you think either team resembles anything of last years teams?

Last year McNabb had TO, they were rolling at the time and had confidence of the SB. This year they have some confidence although that was kinda shot last week during the fluke loss. Stallworth has done a good job at the #1 WR spot so far this year and Westbrook has been strong.

With that being said, the 9ers look a lot better than last year. Bryant is a huge upgrade on the very soft Brandon Lloyd. Gore is lightyears ahead of Barlow. Smith with Turner, is lightyears ahead of where he was last year and Vernon Davis when healthy is a very strong weapon.

Defensively, your right they aren't that strong. They need secondary help and their line is aged while their linebackers other then Lawson aren't exactly young. Parrish is still very good, and Spencer has his moments. The rest of the guys I don't exactly trust yet as a fan.

I expect the Eagles to win. But I expect the 9ers to put up a fight this year instead of the horrid performances they've put out over the last couple of matchups versus the Eagles. Another thing is the 9ers do play much better at home. Hopefully, barring serious injuries to Gore, the team will come around and start winning again. They now have 4 players offensively, who I trust in Bryant-Smith-Gore-Davis. Their line is getting better especially the young guys. They have a long way to go defensively, they need another WR target (I'd LOVE CALVIN JOHNSON from GT), and we need a dominant line on both sides of the ball (Offensively, we have some young good players).
