Smack, I would not agree with that. Last year, Holt had a carreer season, Owens was way down from his normal, and Ward was having his 2nd best season ever. Owens and Ward scored about the same, and Holt outscored them significantly. But for the seasons prior to that, Owens topped both of them, sometimes by a lot. so I guess what it comes down to is, do you think Owens has shot his wad and has nothing left, or do you think he will fail with McNabb and the disgusting Eagle fans? I personally feel he will have HIS carreer season and Holt will go back to his usual good season. I know Holt's performance against the Redskins a couple weeks ago made it look like he is superman, but it's not going to be that easy for him in the season. There will be plenty of double coverage - and Bulger has to prove he can do another incredible job in his second season starting. Most guys with that type of a start have a tough time living up to it.
One last point on Holt vs Owens. The Rams have a pretty good D now, and they have a guy that can grind it out in the 4th quarter. After all the criticism, maybe Martz is about to figure out that is how to win. On the other hand, the Eagles defense has been rifled with injuries and defections, and I expect a collapse there. They are going to need a lot of scoring throughout the game.
