The pundits are weighing very heavily the Peppers' "factor" which they believe will be a major distraction. Oh how soon they forget that this team went 2-0 with our best player suspended at the ouset of last season.

Secondly, they are assuming Jake is going to play like he did in the 'Zona game ALL season. Every QB has had a horrible game. Last night I was watching the 2007 Giants SB run on the NFLN and a couple of games proir to the playoffs ELI tossed FOUR picks and lost a fumble versus the Vikings. He only then went on to be the SB MVP several games later.

bad case of Jake Leg in that Arizona game

something like that; includes involuntary arm spasms.
