Waiting to see if Vita plays before feeling good about the game. If he doesn't play, we should be able to run down their throats with minimal resistance and just have to be ok on defense.

Multiple reports say he’s playing. 

Going to be a tough game today.. not sure what to expect. Hoping for a win, wouldn’t be surprised with a loss 

Not seeing a win today based on history of Lane’s absences. Unless Goedert, Barkley, Fred, and Carter repeat their performances from last week that is.

Please White over Irving!

If for fantasy go get Irving before too late. He has stolen the job. 

@mattwill

eagles 20

bucs 24

Bucs 19
Eagles 16

The hot seat gets very warm for Sirianni has he makes at least one bad decision. 

My rooting interest today:

Eagles-  Cardinals- Pats- GB- NO (we have the head to head tie breaker with NO so want to prevent any playoff funny business with ATL)- Jets because I can't stand the Broncos and Sean P.

If the Eagles win today without smith brown and lane then Siri’s seat is safe at least through the end of the season

Fred played well against a better dline last week

It would also make one feel better about Hurts. He would win a game without top tier talent all around. 

Think Eagles need to run effectively and dink and dunk to keep chains moving.  I expect Tampa to load the box and force Hurts to beat them.  Eagles defense needs to generate TOs and give offense good field position.  Expect low scoring game with an Eagles win.

Eagles spent a 3 on Dotson. Time for him to step up. He had to learn offense after camp but there's been time now to contribute

HUGE game for him as a player. Best chance he's likely ever going to get to change his "first round bust" label. At least under his rookie deal. 

Result doesn't really matter today if it's a loss.  Just Jalen showing up to play and lead the team with all these injuries is enough of a win heading into the bye.  A culture building road trip.

Gonna be way more focused on the defense than the offense. The offense is going to do fine given the circumstances. But the defense needs to build on the Saints game. Can't revert back to how they played vs Atlanta, because then at that point that Saints performance just becomes a one game wonder. And the Bucs offense is not great. No excuse to get lit up today or you know players were dogging it.

OMG the cope in here.

Hurts needs to put this team on his back and get a W.

Wrong!  Conference win is important.   Back ups have to step up and Hurts is getting paid to lead his team to a victory in difficult circumstances.  TB has injuries and just got smoked by Denver, most of the players are dealing with damage to their homes. TB is a distracted team. A loss today would suck.  We should win this game.

Just not feeling it for either team.  Both without their RT but Johnson has looked the better of the two.  But the Eagles down three WRs is worrisome.  Fortunately, this is running game, FG type game.  Hopefully, Nick takes the points this week.  
 

Eagles 17, Bucs 10

Bonus:   Gainwell and Shipley each have a play in the slot position.

So basically no Jalen Hurtsover. 

Bucs have had OL issues. Time for Huff to show up. If he gets blanked again today, I have a weird feeling trading for Reddick, which I thought was highly improbable up until this point may start to become a possibility. With how pedestrian the NFC looks this year, there's no way Howie is going to sit on his hands when it comes to pass rush.

Well, if there was a week Dotson was going to have a game you’d think this’d be it. 

Could be way off but I think Hurts might be less mistake prone by default if he doesn’t trust his weapons as much. Might force him to be more careful and not expect heroic stuff from AJ/DeVonta. 
 

Could also just be wishful thinking…

That Bonus is going to be hard for me to track  😱
