I don't think Mass is underestimating him.. and personally neither am I.. I once did that with Jason Garrett.. and it is burned into my memory.

I think what is being stated is early will be better than late.. as they will/may be still in the adjustment phase.

I'm not understand why people are excited we are at the Eagles for our first game. I think we should be careful for what we ask for.

Well we already knew we had to face Philly in Philly. Catching Kolb early is a good thing.

How do you figure? He's already thrown for a couple 300 yard games filling in for McNabb. who's to say he couldn't do better with more reps with the offense as 'the guy'? More consistency with the players are you makes you better.

I think we will win the game, but I think several are underestimating the whole 'new' QB thing. Kolb is more accurate of a thrower than McNabb was and if we have secondary issues and haven't fixed our problems from last season. It will be a long game for us.

pretty sure that is our whole point. regardless of what you expect to happen with all your points about kolb, the odds say, the less experience you have the less likely you are to pull off big games. odds say its better for us to face him early rather than later. that doesn't mean it will end up true, but i'll take the odds every time.

And I think having to against a fresher QB has it's perks and downfalls. He'll come in with lots of confidence against the Packers. He's seen our team against good passing teams. It might be better to against him later in the year after his confidence has been shaken. However, that's two edged, he could GAIN confidence with more games under his belt.

There's just no real advantage either way you look at it. Well, unless you look at it one sided, then yeah it'll be easier going against him first. And I'd tend to put the odds in that direction as well.

lol read my post above. I think I mentioned something about odds. I don't remember, I just hit a bunch of random keys and pray it makes sense. It doesn't work too often though.

We knew the schedule was going to be tough but I kind of like how it worked out. Late bye week right before the toughest part of our schedule is well timed.

Martha Careful (4h) : Don't you think teams with the byes should play Sunday? It is fairer to opponents to give an additional day. instead of short week.
beast (17-Jan) : You have a point, it's a very wise move, therefore, that can't be what the Jets are doing.
Zero2Cool (17-Jan) : It'd be a wise move.
beast (17-Jan) : I think Jets are just killing time, and picking up information as they wait for their guy to get done with the playoffs.
