Really Big Red is the 15th best coach in the NFL?

The draft is over and now NFL writers are looking for something to write about. Over at National Football Post they decided to do a head coach power ranking story. The list is a little over the place, but the one thing that drives me nuts is ranking Eagles head coach Andy Reid in the teens, come on he is a pain but he is a top level coach. Come on we all hate Andy at some point but lets be honest he is a top 10 coach.

The Birds are a video game

So the Mike Vick era is officially underway and boy is it exciting. Sure there are going to be those negatives plays, which there are going to a ton, but the video game type plays are quickly going to make fans forgot them. The offense is now a video game. Speed, speed, and more speed. DJ and Maclin might be the fastest pair of the receivers in the league.

After what has happened over the past three weeks its a miracle that the Birds sit on top of the NFC East and next week Mc5 returns to the Linc, in which should be an emotional game.

The Covers Story: NFL Opening Weekend

Everyone has a shot of making it to Dallas for the Super Bowl before Week 1. After one week that has changed, here is how newspapers around the country covered the fun of opening weekend.

Now this is a NFL Crowd

Jags fans showed in mass on Sunday as they played the Chiefs. Only 45,546 showed up to watch the home team. This year the teams has not drawn more then 50,000 to any game and the way it looks it might be a long time before they do.

The Jags are at it again

The Jags fans are at it again. This time the Jacksonville fan base packed Jacksonville Municipal Stadium to the tune of 42,088 yesterday. It sure looks like 42,000 showed up in this photo from a friend on Facebook for the Jags 23-20 win over the rams, the people in the seats might be closer to 25,000.

The NFL has to do something about this. People in Jacksonville will never get to see their team on tv at this rate. The stadium holds 67,164 for NFL games and 84,000 for college football games.

This is a NFL City?

This is a photo, which came from a friend on facebook, from the press box Sunday at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, the home of the Jags. A ton of people decided to go to the game dressed as seats as you can tell. The attendance for the game against the NFC Champions Cardinals was 46,520, the stadium holds 67,164 for NFL games and 84,000 for college football games. It looks like all of the Jags home games will be blacked out this year.

This is another reason that the NFL does not work in the south. In the south people care more about the college sports then they do the NFL. Can you image seeing that many empty seats for the Georgia Florida game I think not.
