His full picks are available exclusively at his web site, www.BrandonLang.com , but he’s offered a few picks to us for free here at FanHouse. Eagles (-8) over Rams How bad were the St. Louis Rams last year? Only four teams in the NFL scored fewer points, and only one (Detroit) gave up less. If ever there was a recipe for constructing a 3-13 team, that would be it. True, the Rams dealt with so many injuries in 2007 that they considered changing their logo to the Red Cross symbol. But the Eagles had a slew of key injuries, too - including QB Donovan McNabb, who missed two games - yet they managed to gut out a .500 season, winning their final three games to break even at 8-8. McNabb is healthy entering the 2008 campaign and rumor has it...

For those of you that have not heard yet today, Richie Incognito called out the St. Louis Rams fans after practice Thursday Richie had this to say:
“It seems like our fans aren’t coming to the game, so it’s fun when the other fans come in and start hooting and hollering. At least someone is in the Dome yelling,” “When we played the Giants (Sept. 14 at the Dome), they had the whole lower bowl filled up (with Giants fans). We know how our fans feel about us; that’s fine.

The Texans played almost a perfect game. The Bengals not so much.
The first time the Texans touched the ball, it resulted in a 73 yard punt return by Jacoby Jones . Strangely, both TD returns Jones has done this season have resulted in him ending up on the west side of the north endzone, where he jumps up into the stands where his mom sits. His teammates joke that he needs to get his mom to move each quarter to the other endzon... more

This is the first pick of new Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff’s career. And for a team that is trying to recover from a disastrous 2007, it’s not time to try to find a quarterback.

Filed under: NFL Fans Welcome to a kinder, gentler NFL, where it’s still perfectly acceptable to take somebody’s head off during the play, but after the whistle, it’s all about the Kumbaya vibe . One of the officiating points of emphasis for next season includes an enforcement of "mutual respect" guidelines in the interaction between players and officials.
