me and my boy always make around 25 small bets before the college and pro seasons kick off...this is one that i came up with...
holla atcha boy
PSU will have 4 losses. The Eagles will have 3.

Agreed.
Wonder what PG and MURP's take on this will be ;D
Must you even ask? C'mon...Penn Sate might win more games than the Eagles lose.
I think they'll both lose 4-5 games.
penn states schedule is pretty soft...they are guaranteed 100% to have four wins...if they go 3-4 in the other seven games thats only four L's...i dont think the eagles are winning 13 this year...i think this may be a push bet...
I think Penn State sucks and I also think the use of the non-word "holla" is fargin retarded.
youre more than welcome to 'cry out' or 'shout' in my direction is that makes you feel more comfortable
Mindless ebonics-inspired retorts not withstanding, Penn State still sucks and will lose more games in September than the Eagles will lose all year.
You can quote me on that if you like.

Unless Penn State can go undefeated too, they will lose more games.
What are the chances that McNabb throws for 40 TD passes this season?? I think they are good.
Is the offseason over yet?

I think you're smoking crack. You think the chances are good? I think they are remote, at best. For all of his talent and ability, McNabb isn't Manning and never will be. He will lead the team to wins and be a successful and elite QB, but 40 TDs? I don't think so.
He was nine TD's away last season. He didn't play in two games. TO didn't play in what...four games maybe? I think you are smoking crack when you say they chances are remote. As if 31 isn't close enough.
I didn't say he was gonna throw for 45 or 49. Jesus man...chill out.
Crack smoker.
The chances really are remote though. Hell, he might not even throw 30 (which is still a feat).
Okay...remember this thread in January.
RJS...man you're a jackass.
Let's not even remember it tomorrow.

Couldn't have said it better myself. People who get all fired up and start throwing these possible stats around in the preseason are hitting the glass pipe. Hard. In order to throw 40 TDs McNabb would have to stay healthy all season and AVERAGE 2.5 TDs per game. If you think that's likely, you're an idiot.
Round it up to three. Figure if he's throwing that many he's going to take the last two games off.

Even more to my point. But whatever. Yay! We're excited about our team! Yay! Our QB is going to throw for 78 TDs! Yay! Our backup RB will get 800 yards and 7 TDs! Yay!
Yeesh, lets stick to what's realistic. 11-13 wins, the playoffs and another shot at the elusive title. I'm happy with that, you crackheads.
11-13 Wins?!?! You're a negative bitch. The Eagles are going 16-0, yo!!!!!!! Holla!!Cry Out!!!Shout!!!!
i believe only four players have EVER had 40+ td's...mcnabb will never be one of them
after running the numbers ive come up with the following....
penn st 7-4
eagles 10-6/11-5
either way penn state wins this bet
The Eagles are going 25-0. They're going to be so good they'll offer to play 9 extra season games against an NFL All-Star team, just to make it fair. Fans of every other team will abandon their teams and declare the Eagles to be superior to everyone. Reid's diet is going to get him down to a healthy weight. It's going to be awesome.

McNabb has never had the type of weapons Manning has nor does he play in a farging dome where the elements don't come into play for 8 games per season.

Now we're talking!
McNabb is going to be the first football player to join the 40/40 club. He's going to rush for 40 touchdowns and throw 40 more (2 of them will be to himself.....one of which will be a diving catch because he has to scoop up one of his worm burners.) At which point he will turn to his recievers who all look at him with their arms crossed and one eyebrow raised as if to say "See what we mean?" Then he'll apologize.
This is getting better and better.
I'm really starting to get excited for the season, we're gonna have a kick arse team. Holla.

PSU will have more losses.
I think it will be no more than a two loss difference. I still think it will be 4 losses for PSU and 3 for the Eagles, but the Eagles could easily lose 4-5, while I really don't think PSU will lose more than 4.
If Penn State loses more than four games I might actually camp outside of Paterno's house and hurl piles of wet feces at his front door until he retires.
Eagles = 3 losses
Penn State = 6 losses

He still hasn't signed :boom
You're kidding with this thread, right? :-D :-D :-D
It very possible that McNabb gets 40 this year. If Ownes can stay healthy, hes good for 14-18. Westbrook a good 4-7. Buck 2-3. Pinky 3,4. LJ 5-6 G. Lewis 3. Richie gonna get at least one his way. A beefer line with Andrews. To think its not possible is ridiculous. I say he gets 42 this year. Eat it 8)
I actually think it will be a wash PSU will probably have about 3 losses and that seems to me what the Eagle may have as well.
People looked at PSU's record last year and just said they sucked which is only half true. Their offense sucked, their defense was pretty damn good. If their offense can be remotely better they should be very competitive in the Big 10 this season. A lot of this depends on whether King and Williams live up to the hype.
Either way I look for both teams to have about 3 or 4 losses.

1. I seriously doubt TO will get as many TDs as he had last season. Or even close. 10 would still be a great season.
2. Westbrook 4-7 seems reasonable.
3. Buck? 2-3? I'll surprised by more than zero. He's not here to catch lots of balls.
4. Pinky had 1 TD last year. He
should get more, 3-4 maybe, but I wouldn't bank on it.
5. LJ/TE 5-6 seems about right in this offense.
6. Our third WR hasn't produced 3 TDs in a year for a while.
With Andrews back don't you think that they might, I don't know, RUN the ball more?
Is 40 TDs possible? Sure. Is it likely or even reasonable to expect? No.

Greg Lewis is the fastest receiver on our team. I just have a feeling hes going to catch acouple long td bombs this year.
Running the ball more with Andrews? In our dreams!

It is ridiculous to think, I agree, that we may actually run more since AR is still the coach. But I look at this team, and the return of Ritchie and Andrews, and I think about the three-headed monster year, and this offense just reminds me a lot of that. Those three RBs combined for over 2000 yards and tons of scores and this squad could do the same thing... anyway, it's more likely that they'll run more than it is for McNabb to throw 40 TDs.
After reading this thread in its entirety, I've come to this conclusion:
The season cannot not get here fast enough for me.
:puke
As the spokesman for Shawn "Big Nasty" Andrews, I will say that his mere presence will open up holes large enough for Westbrook to run through, run back and then run through again before a DL even gets to touch him with his fingers.
I do think McNabb could throw 40 TD's in a season. Reid certainly calls enough passing plays for him to do it.
If he's only going to play 14 meaningful games like he has the last couple of seasons, there's no way in hell he throws 40 touchdowns.
I'll give rjs that much.

Better tell your client that he was once an OL and he knows what it means to be able to fire off the ball and smash some 230LB jerk trying to play DE. Keep putting my client back in pass protection and maybe he'll forget to pick up a blitzer or two here and there. :-*
I expect a lot of witty trick plays, like 2nd down punts, "Statue of Liberty" plays, and the "Villanova swirler".
Don't forget the old stick the ball up the center's shirt and act like he got hit in the gut play. Hank in for 6, baby.

I've just spoken with AR recently, and he has requested that I relay the following vital information:
"We think we've got a good group of guys here, and we're going to just work really hard. Even without TO, when you have players like Todd and Billy, and Reno coming out of the backfield, you just have to utilize your strengths. If Shawn has that opinion, and refuses to pass block correctly, we've got a lot of capable players who can step right in and win multiple super bowls, maybe even 100 in a row, without Shawn. We'd like to have him sure, but we're just going to stay the course and see what happens."
That cannot possibly be an AR quote. "Heckofa" was not used once.
I think the question should read:

No way they lose to Northwestern, the only guarenteed loss on that schedule is at Michigan. I also don't see them losing to Wisconsin or Michigan State neither one of those teams are that strong this season.
Northwestern was 5-3 last year in the Big Ten. PSU was 2-6. Yet there's no way they lose to them?
Also - has Penn State really improved that drastically to be taken seriously when playing the likes of Michigan, OSU, & Wisconsin?
I just don't see it.

I think the good money is on them beating Purdue (homecoming, I'll be there!) and Northwestern. People forget that PSU's defense was nearly unbeatable last year and underestimate the difference a healthy "veteran" offensive line and NO ZACK MILLS will make.
I agree the Purdue game is a "swinger", so that leaves them with 4-5. The Eagles should probably go 12-4 or 13-3, so if you think they will lose in the Super Bowl, they're even money. I think they'll win, which is why I'd narrowly pick the Eagles in this wager.
They play three cupcakes the first three games and then have to go to Northwestern and play a real opponent.
That's really the main reason I see them losing that game.
Also - homecoming or not, the fact is they might be focused on playing Wisconsin the following week instead of keeping their attention glued to Purdue they way they should be.

I think they'll be focusing on Purdue because it's a game they should win. If you've never been to a PSU game, especially Homecoming, the crowd is like the 12th AND 13th man. I will be at the Rathskellar for at least 10 hours the day before and plan to pre-game a la Eagles/Panthers. Pour some sugar on meeaaahhhh!

I just don't see it.
That was last season, Northwestern lost some key contributors to that team namely Noah Herron. As far as Wisconsin I look for this to be a down season for them they lost a ton of key players. Davis, James, Leonard, and Hawthorne to name a few.
There is no doubt Michigan and OSU are good,as is Iowa. As far as PSU having to improve drastically, I disagree due to the reasons I stated previously.
I truly believe both will be about the same in the loss column this year and if that number is around 3 or 4 both would have had sucessful seasons.

No way in hell they look past Purdue they may be as good as any team the Big Ten has to offer. I am confident PSU will win because for whatever reason they always beat Purdue. That being said Purdue only really lost Orton and Stubbefield which would seem huge but they got Kirsch and a stable of WRs.

wisconsin will be irrelevant this year...they lost their entire defensive line and 3/4 of their secondary...they are a 500 team or in a very good year a game or two over...could they beat psu yes but they arent a team to be looking ahead at
nw is going to be terrible...if penn st loses that game just immediately cancel the season
purdue is a loss not so much because of how good they are but they face them after a brutal three game stretch osu, at mich, at ill...purdue very well might win the big ten for no other reason than they dont play osu or mich
if penn st gets even average o line play they win eight

If McNabb wouldn't of been injured he could of easily thrown 40 TDs this year....holler

The Eagles should draft Robinson. Of course, he's too thick-bodied to play WR, he fumbles too much to play RB, and he certainly does not have an NFL-caliber arm.
But the Eagles should draft him anyway.
Well, dflex did say Mich was a guaranteed loss. It was a helluva lot closer than that.
