After watching Minnesota three times this season, I'm convinced we're going to absolutely destroy them both games.

I hope they win 5-6 games so they don't get too good of a pick.

I could see them taking Blackmon.

Vikings are in luck. It's a deep class of WRs, DEs and OTs. Regardless of where they pick I think they'll get a good one.

Michael Vick believes that rules are being defied and he is getting unjustly abused.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Poetic injustice aside, Vick's complaints about NFL officials allowing him to be hit more, and hit later, than other quarterbacks can probably only lead to more woe for him and the Eagles. The men in the striped shirts don't like being accused of playing favorites.

"The refs have to do their job and I'm not blaming the referees by any stretch, so let's not get it twisted here," Vick said. "I'm just saying I think everybody on the field should do their job."

Not sure how it could be twisted any other way. Vick was certainly blaming the officials for the pounding he has taken over the first three weeks. Sunday, for the second week in a row, he had to leave the game with an injury. Last week in Atlanta, it was a concussion. This time, it was a broken right hand.

Vick said "absolutely" when asked if he feels he doesn't get the calls that other elite QBs get.

"I mean, you all see it," Vick said. "There's no reason for me to go into a big dissertation about why I'm not getting the calls. The refs, they have to do their job as well. I even mentioned it in training camp to the refs when we had our little meeting, just for precaution. But hey, I don't know."

So Vicks hand isn't even broken, just bruised. I hate that POS.

Drafting isn't an exact science. #2 and #4 overall picks in the 2009 NFL draft are both backups in St. Louis and Seattle, respectively.

I am just waiting for there to be an internet meme of pit bull referees holding their flags when Vick gets late hit.

The fact that his hand is bruised just makes him look like a baby. You got scrubbed by an awful team and need excuses for why you looked so terrible against that awful team.

McNabb thinking his mechanics aren't awful is fantastic.

I really understand where he's coming from, but Costa is really coming off as a bitch with this whining about the cadence. Other centers have to deal with this crap, and they don't seem to have the same problems snapping the football.

Nick Barnett: Buffalo Better Atmosphere Than Green Bay

The Buffalo Bills are off to a 3-0 start and a guy most of us had forgotten about is drinking the Kool-Aid, talking about Buffalo like it’s the greatest place in the NFL to play.

We’re talking, of course, about outspoken former Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett.

Barnett told NFL Network Buffalo has the best atmosphere in the NFL.

“There’s no other atmosphere like this, I don’t think, around. Green Bay is very close. We’ve got some great fans here, though,” Barnett said.

Not that we’d expect him to say anything but good things about the city he’s currently playing in, but Barnett delivered the comment unprompted. He wasn’t asked which fans or atmosphere is better.

We’ll let you draw your own conclusions.

Barnett has 29 tackles and a forced fumble on the season.

He's just trying to get on the side of Buffalo fans. I think it's a non-story, but people are going to get riled up about it.

Whatever, Nick. Come back to me when your city wins a Super Bowl.
