They struggle to convert their drives into scoring opportunities usually with a turnover or penalties but they have marched down the field on every defense they'd faced this year.
NFC East
Dallas 4-2
N.Y. Giants 3-2
Philadelphia 3-2
Washington 3-2
They are much improved, and the defense looks as strong as ever...however we will just have to see how things turn out!

i need a QB for the upcoming week cuz both my QBs are on bye. I am trying to decide between Trent Dilfer who is playing Detroit, or Kelly Holcomb who plays at Oakland. Who would be the better start?

I'm just happy my Cowboys are doing well , I just hope they keep it up..Spanking the Eagles and squeaking by the Giants is a uplift after blowing the Skins game.

#1 in the NFC east! It might not last long, but at least we can say we made there for a little while.

Between those 2 I like Holcomb. The pussycats defense has been pretty solid this year, I like Dre Bly to make the pro bowl. I lost Bulger on Monday night for a couple games it looks like. If he is still available in your league....pick up Brunell
They have SF this week and Moss is en fuego.

Underrated? How? They have sooooo many penalties this year. Way too undisciplined. 9 turnovers in 6 games.They beat Seattle at home. Nice win.
Then they beat the Jets and the Bengals. Whoop-te-doo.
Barely squeaked out an overtime win this weekend against the Steelers on an interception.
Underrated? nah

In one of my leagues I only have one QB. I might pick up Bulgers backup.
Oh and Dilfer vs Holcomb. That's a tough one. Is Oak pass D going to suck after losing to San Diego?

on keyshawn, if he wouldn't have been a #1 I might think different of him. I know what you mean about Dillon, but I'm big on players being "team players", and he just wasn't, always selfish IMO. I also don't think he could pick up the short yardage very good

Im contemplating trying to trade Julius Jones for Plaxico Burress. Whatcha think?
Im pretty solid at RB, Have James, Bell, Duckett, Parker, and Ahman Green. It looks like Bell is the Broncs man as of now.

Maybe I'm just too conservative:
James - solid
Bell - good....until Shanahan farts and changes his mind
Duckett - on and off and shares with Dunn. Has really low scores at times.
Parker - Bus and Duce might take carries
Green - sucks this year but could bounce back. No WR helps defenses stack on the run.
Jones might be your 2nd best RB when healthy.
James - solid
Bell - good....until Shanahan farts and changes his mind
Duckett - on and off and shares with Dunn. Has really low scores at times.
Parker - Bus and Duce might take carries
Green - sucks this year but could bounce back. No WR helps defenses stack on the run.

WR - Santana Moss - WSH - Solid
WR - Amani Toomer - NYG - 97 years old
WR - Greg Lewis - PHI - only good for 1-2 big plays per game
WR - Shaun McDonald - STL - was a huge disappointment while Bruce is out
That's all Ive got

Man I hope Plaxico stays consistent. He had a crappy week against Dallas but was good a few weeks before that. I think his value is a little high since you're dealing Julius so this trade is more for need. No other better WR for Jones?

Not really when you consider the parity of the other rosters in my league, the player that has Plaxico is hurting at RB as I am hurting at WR. The premier wide outs are all spread around and no one is likely to trade one for a banged up Cowboy. I seriously think it is a balanced trade.

Exactly....I picked up S. Moss in the 6th round of my draft and he is my best WR. Porter, Andre Johnson, Moss, etc and not living up to expectations. Injuries to D. Jackson and J. Walker have limited the pool. My best move so far is trading Jackson for Edge the week before Jackson went down.

I've got 3 of the top 15
This year I've had great success running 2 RBs and 3 WRs.
I'm averaging more points than any other team in the league by more than 7
It's been a pretty good season so far.

I've got S. Moss (picked him up late, everyone slept on him), T. Holt, and McCardell. The three of them alone are averaging me over 25 pts/week combined.The Acurazine league is a very low scoring league. My squad averages 65+ points a week and that's the highest in the league of 10. Most are around 45-50.

I agree. I think there should be more scoring. I hate how fumbles and sacks aren't scored. Also, scoring for rushing and recieving should start around 25 yards.

A couple good games today. Ugly one for my Bengals :shakehead especially Palmer. Crazy games for Vikings and Eagles. Watching the Seahawks/Cowboys game which is pretty damn good. Alexander is now all time Seahawks rusher (overrated my ass). Jerramy Stevens is looking pretty good now along with both defenses.

Man I need the under of 45 points for the ATL game to win $60 in my office pool. 
Another guy had the exact same picks and was one point off from me for the MNF game. 
Yeah LT might have cost me for this week. My other back is Steven Jackson but I played Lamont Jordan.
