Happy NFL Day. Well actually, NFL day was Thursday, but today the Eagles chalked up their first win. Granted, it was against the Texans, so there’s no way to really gauge the quality of the win, but I will say that Donovan looked good. I didn’t see the interception, but he obviously has to limit those. However…Donte Stallworth looked pret-ty durn good today. If you’ll look back, you’ll see that I have long said that Donovan’s stats are a little deflated because of his talent (or the lack thereof) at wide receiver. Terrell Owens was an exception, because he’s one of the eilte receivers in the leage. Even I could put up a stat or two with him. Stallworth, on the other hand, is solid, but hasn’t exactly been known as superstar material. Then, in his first day out w/ McNabb, he matches his career high. Hmmmmm… If I was a bettin man, I’d put heavy money on Stallworth establishing a new career high for yardage, and that relatively soon. Not takin anything away from Terrell Owens, but could he be the beneficiary of playing with a bunch of Pro Bowl-caliber QB’s as much as they benefitted from playing with him? Time will tell.

One other thing, I know the fans in Denver are REALLY ready for the Jay Cutler era to start. Plummer looked more snakebit than the Snake today.

Good opening weekend, so far.

UPDATE

Aaaaannnnnnddd… if the Cowboys are gonna make the Super Bowl, they’re gonna hafta do something about that consistency. In that first quarter, I was kinda worried. After that? Not as much. The defense looks tough, but they’re definitely a crackable nut. Bet all my Cowboys-lovin friends didn’t expect to lose that game in that way. The Cowboys are still gonna be pretty good, but they ain’t walkin’ through no parts of the NFC East. I’ll tell you that much right now.
