skins are unfortunately gonna be dangerous in the nfc playoffs

my life as i know it is pretty much over for the next two weeks

The Seahawks are a pretty bad team, especially when they keep kidding themselves that Shaun Alexander can still play.

Still, the skins are not good at all.  You'll see.

hey easy (or anyone else that feels like figuring it out) where would the eagles have picked had they lost today

#15 if all of the other games had gone the same way

Damn.

Interesting fact I never knew:

Eagles To Draft 19th ... The Eagles were one of four teams to finish the NFL season with an 8-8 record. The other four teams were Arizona, Houston and Minnesota. The first tiebreaker for the draft is whether or not any of the teams involved made the playoffs. Since none of the four did, then it comes down to strength of schedule. The team with the best strength of schedule drafts last out of the tiebreaker. Unfortunately for the Eagles, their .563 strength of schedule was the highest of the four teams.

I also never knew that Arizona, Houston, and Minnesota are four teams.

As of a couple weeks ago, the Eagles had the highest strength of schedule of any team in the league. I'm not sure if that held up or not.

Indiana is playing Oklahoma State at 6, I didn't know it is on TV but apparently it's on NFL Network. A lot of people are all over the nuts of Indiana's Tracy Porter, really good CB/Returner.

[BigEd76]

Adarius Bowman and James Hardy are also in that game

Rivers - eehhh
Baker - good, much better than Justice so let's not get to freaked out about the USC OT connection
Campbell - could live with that,  big dude
Kelly - will have to watch him in the Fiesta Bowl
