With two full weeks of preparation, and two full weeks of being forced to listen to Eagles WR Freddie Mitchell’s mouth write checks that his body and ability proved incapable of cashing, the Philadelphia Eagles were about as ready to take on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX as any team possibly could have been.

New York Jets receivers Santana Moss and Justin McCareins both had solid seasons last year. Moss hauled in 45 passes for 838 yards (and an 18.6 yards-per-catch mark that ranked him fourth in the league), and found the end zone five times, while McCareins gained 770 yards on 56 receptions with four touchdowns. Neither of those lines can be considered shabby, but neither WR was able to entirely fulfill fantasy owners’ (and Jets fans’) expectations. That might change in 2005, however. [More]
