You guys want to hear something funny?

The last time the Eagles came to Baltimore for a regular season game was in 1997. The final score of that game was a 10-10 tie, after both teams failed to score in overtime. Thought that was a little strange.

We need Mason this week, without him, our offense is just pure crap. I do not think there is one other Receiver in the NFL who can run a curl or out route better than Mason can. He creates so much space and has sure fire hands, which is very rare to have in this league when you have a QB who can rocket a football over 70mph at you.

How come over the last 2 seasons we have been so injured? I just dont get why these guys are just getting these season ending injuries year in and year out. It seems like there are not really too many other teams out there with the situation we are in now. 2 starting DB's DT, and about 4 starting O-Linemand are hurt and basically useless to us.

I hate to say it, but i think age is getting to us. Not with the O-Line, they are very young and things are not going their ways, but focusing on C-Mac. I am done with him. We cannot keep relying on him to be there for us each year, then him getting hurt and not finding out that he will be out for the season till after he misses about 4 straight games. I am just tired of it. I would like to keep Samari however, as I feel he will still be able to give us some nice support at the 2 spot or in nickel. I think C-Mac is still a top notch corner in this league, but when he is healthy, which seems to never happen now. Get rid of him and let him go to a veteran team if they want him. I could see a team like NE of course getting him or teams like San Diego, NYJ, and whoever. These 30+ year olds can no longer handle the the young talent of Wideouts that are out there right now. They might be able to cover them at times, but it seems it is forcing them to use their bodies beyond their limits. We cannot keep having him get hurt in week 5, keep telling us "we are watching his knee very closely, he will see this doctor this week then that doctor next week and we will have an answer for you soon," then what do you know, he is out for the season, AGAIN! Chris, your a great corner in this league I still believe and you have done wonderful things for this franchise since you became a Raven in 1998, but this is a new face we are trying to make, sorry bud, but we need to get someone about 7 years younger than you are.

I say cut C-Mac, Corey Ivy, and Derrick Martin. I am not sure how you guys feel about that, but they havent done much for us this year Ivy and Martin's contracts are up this year and C-Mac is just phucking us over. We should try to stick our hands in the Free Agency Market for a good young corner out there like Phillip Buchanon, Dunta Robinson, Gamble, or that Ashomugha guy from Oakland, but he will likely be franchised seeing as they just got rid of Hall. All these guys are under 28 years old and still play decent football. And when you add any sort of talent alongside Ray Lewis, good things will usually happen. Then we go into the draft and use 1 or 2 of our first day picks to add some more young depth to our secondary.

Again, the WR position is still a weakness, as all of us in here are stating how terrible we are if Mason is not in pads on Sundays. This team is focusing too much on the interior of both sides of the ball, when our 2 main weaknesses are clearly on the outsides. Again, I think a clear answer for us is to try and get our chops wet in the FA market. The one thing that stands out with FA Receivers is the fact that TJ Hooshmazode is going to be a free agent, and after this weeks nap time and verbal scuffle with Marvin Lewis, it doesnt look like Ocho Cinco can any longer commit himself to this team. As much as I hate TJ, if we want to get him, fine, but he is not making us any younger, as he is 33 years old. Chad I would gladly take, he is one of Ray's best friends and I would hope he would show us he wants to use his vast amount of talent on a team that constantly wants to succeed.Yea, we have to re-sign Ray and Suggs, which will probably cost us some good money, but WR and CB are 2 positions we need to look at and try to add some EXPERIENCE along with young rookie talent. With the Rookie talent, of course Crabtree is our ideal guy to get, but it might mean making a trade involving our 1st, 2nd, and like 4th round pick to move up to top 10 or even top 5. That is unrealistic that we would do it because we need some more youngins on this team. So again, look at some of the guys in the 2nd round, as there will surely be some talent there at Wideout. And oh yea, at tonight's Terps Basketball game, I will make sure to scream CRABTREE at Bisciotti as much as possible. Maybe some other things as well.

Sure you can say our O-Line is a weakness right now, but at least we have guys who are stepping up, when needed, opening holes and protecting Joe, as he was sacked once last week against a top 3 blitz package in NYG.

As for the Eggles game this week, I do not see too much happening for them. Westbrook is great, but he is not physical enough to break through our front line, forcing him to run outside, where our speed at linebacker will catch up to him. I see McNabb making at least 40 passing attempts against us. Besides NYG, I do not get why teams do not throw 40+ times on us, it is going to be a test for us. They do not have the best talent at WR, but McNabb makes those guys good. Gotta get to him, get him outta the pocket, and force him to make some throws on his feet, which he is still very good at.

As for our offense, again, it is all going to start with our O-Line. We are unsure of the exact starting 5 this week and it could contain two rookies in David Hale and my boy Oniel Cousins. For the type of team and group of players we have, how come Cousins is the only guy on our team with dreadlocks? I look at Jax and see like 10 guys with dreads and it looks great in those black uniforms. Anyway, the line is going to have to hold up and let Joe do his thing. The Eggles have a good group of talent in their secondary, so it will be tough for our guys to get space on them, and if Mason is out, I don't even know what will happen. I think our boy Rice is going to have a big game this Sunday, i just keep hearing all these comparisons he has to Brian Westbrook, so maybe he will out shine him.

All in all, I am going to say a 27-13 victory for our boys.
