Sort of continued from here
  1. Jeremy Shockey isn't all that bad anymore.  Last year, he was annoying and whiny.  This year, he's the only player on the Giants who can catch a pass, and he's finally found a way to control his emotions.
  2. The Eagles will never be a good team as long as they have Donovan McNabb.  In last night's game against the undefeated New England Patriots led by Tom "God" Brady, the Eagles pretty much won the game under the leadership of quarterback AJ Feeley.  Though the score says they lost, it was close enough to call it a win, especially for a pretty bad team playing a really good team.  But McNabb is expected to be ready to play next week, and he'll inevitably start the game, where he'll get sacked several times, throw a few interceptions, and re-injure himself.  It feels like last year all over again:  When you have a good quarterback (Feeley this year, Garcia last year), PLAY YOUR GOOD QUARTERBACK, don't play an aging, injured, has-been.
  3. Quarterbacks are forced to carry too much of the blame when their offense does poorly.  The perfect example is Eli Manning.  Everyone is so quick to criticize him, but what about the fact that the Giants' offense is tied for the 2nd most dropped passes?  Sure, a bad pass can have both a bad passer and a bad receiver.  But you only need to watch a Giants game for a few minutes to see a receiver drop a pass, whether it's thrown directly at his numbers or simply bounces off his hands.
