No Lane no TE....BJ will have to get creative...this will be a good test.

No Lane against the team with the 2nd most sacks in the NFL? Yikes! This is going to be another ugly one.

WR screens and draw plays lined up 🙂

Driscoll has not been very good when he's started. You can bet Buffalo will be lining up Leonard Floyd and Von Miller on that side with Lane being out. Hopefully Brian Johnson calls a steady dose of running plays for Swift.

This is a massive loss

I can’t help but think BJ won’t make any adjustments just based off Driscoll’s horrific Jets game performance where he wasn’t getting any help.  I don’t have faith in Johnson’s ability to be creative.  I really hope I’m wrong.

Devastating. It might be time to consider Lane's eventual replacement in the offseason (if possible).

I wonder if we’d try Steen there.

Steen needs to be able to play RT to justify his 3rd round selection. Eagles usually let the vet play first in next up situations but i look forward to seeing Steen there soon

Roll left.  Roll left.  Then roll left again. 

Eagles need to figure out how to win without Lane.  If, heaven forbid, he went down in the playoffs that shouldn't mean season immediately over, it's too much of a liability to have your success so dependent on 1 player.

Sucks but he’s not been himself the last few weeks. If playing through an injury hurts the team you need to sit. Driscoll doesn’t inspire much confidence but he’s played well in spot play before. 

 

Last time Johnson was out and Driscoll played, we played the Jets.  Just saying...

There were multiple things that went wrong in that Jets game that Lane's absence can't be attributed to.  Stuff like receivers fumbling or dropping good passes and Jake Elliot missing a FG.

Totally agree.  Too many eggs in 1 basket with Lane.  Need at least a reasonable backup that doesn’t wear ice skates like Driscoll.

We still have potentially 3 pro bowlers on that line. No excuses. They need to figure it out.

Maybe we learned to give the backup tackle some help like a TE or RB chipping the DE. 

Give Steen a shot, the rook can’t be any worse than Driscoll, Driscoll sucks!

Damn another guy with all the talent but can’t stay healthy. He misses multiple games every year.

Yea I think it's time to draft lanes replacement this year, maybe in the first 2 rounds

I thought Steen WAS potentially supposed to be the replacement for Lane....

Not sure how much Steen has practised at RT. Plus think he played left side in college and being on the right wasn't as natural for him at TC.

They may make that change with a week of practice but hard to throw him out there with Lane being a last minute scratch if they have largely practised with only Lane / Driscol out there

Johnson's way too bad for that to work. So basically we're going to need TE help from a mediocre to bad TE to help out a below average to bad RT, when we already have issues with playcalling? Naw, not feeling it. lol

No Big V on this line unfortunately.
