Helps playing next to Carter, but I really like Williams and think he will be hard to replace. 

Yeah, but if teams focus on him without Carter will he be worth a massive contract? JH hasn't done much in SF. Hate to lose him, but they could use that money other places.

I’m expecting a 2004 Steelers type game tomorrow. One where we fall behind early and never really make a game of it. Just my gut feeling anyway. Obviously I hope I’m wrong by a lot. 

Yeah, same for me

Baltimore's worst unit in their passing defense.  Ours has been our passing offense.  (Worst doesn't mean bad.  It is a relative term.)

IMO, the difference will be if Hurts can take advantage of the matchup.

They should be motioning Brown and Goedert all over pre snap to get mismatches.  They will double Brown all day if he just lines up wide.

Looking forward to the comp pick.

 

Yeah he's the primary reason I didn't sweat Cox leaving. He probably should've been starting over Cox last year, but Desai/Patricia's defense was such a mess we wouldn't even know the difference.

Still, I've been impressed. Wish we could kick him up in that $8-10M range, but that's a pipe dream.

They lead the league in penalties with 101, Houston is next at 92. Their Guards hold like crazy so hopefully the Eagles sent tape to the league of Carter getting held last week. They aren't a disciplined team. 

Maybe 1 will be called.

We've excessively overindexed in resource allocation on the DL. In a year where we're light on ready-now edge rushers, we're still the best defense we've been in a generation. Why? Because we actually have LBs and CBs (and Fangio).

One of the Ohio players tossed a ref…

Should have extended Milton Williams last offseason.

I don’t expect Michigan to stay in this game long…but they are bringing it today.  Sadly, though clean that might get a targeting look.

I had a high grade on bowers. Might be TE1 next yr if they can get stable at qb

I thought he would be good, but he’s proof that you don’t need to be the biggest, fastest or strongest (or prettiest).

Fu€k Ohio

I highly suspect that the only people who called it a false start were announcers who simply misinterpreted what they saw and assumed that is what it was. When the center snaps the ball early, it’s a live ball situation. The Chiefs recovered. Sure seems like it was officiated correctly. 

Yeah I don't know about that.  The refs blew their whistles and came in waving the play off as a dead play.  Their subsequent explanation that a illegal shift with the clock stopped made no sense.  They should have never waved the play dead if that was the case.

Some team is going to go crazy and give him 20m/Y. 

Nobody is paying Milton Williams $20M/yr

I'm afraid it is going to be tough sledding tomorrow.  We simply don't match up well and they will be the hungrier team.

Henry - Our D is full of speed but also not a heavy group save the DTs.   I think Henry will wear us down and once he hits the 2nd level untouched there will be some gashing type runs.  Hopefully CJGJ and Blankenship can finish the game with their bodies intact.

Lamar - Normally our speed is going to handle any QB who looks to run.  However, Lamar is the GOAT (or is it Vick?) and his speed and quickness will outdo our guys.

OL/Saquon - Their D is great against the run so this one is likely going to be a push.

 

I hope I'm wrong but I fear we might get crushed.  The silver lining could be that we receive a humbling message and don't lose again all year long.  If we can exit with bruised egos but intact physically we will be fine.

You hit Henry before he gets going. Maybe he pops one off and gets a high ypc, but his median run is the real key.

Eagles DBs match up against their WRs. Their iOL isn't elite, Carter is. Move Lamar off his first read, rush with a plan. Nolan Smith and Nakobe Dean are gonna be keys in the rush game; Smith on broken plays, Dean on those timed rushes.

I'm more worried about the offense. Ravens run D is good, pass game give up a lot of big plays. I think they get creative with their fronts and bracket AJ. Repeat of that TB playoff game where Quez was running open all game and Hurts wasn't looking - I think that's gonna be there for Dotson/Wilson/even Calcaterra. Hurts doesn't pull the trigger, then we're pulling our hair out all game.

Game script is key. We get some early stops and Hurts executes on 3rd down to anyone not named AJ Brown, I think we can run them out of the building the same way we did LA.

DT is kind of a need, but very far down the list, but could you imagine Mason Graham and Carter lined up next to each other.

Fu€k Chip Kelly. I keep forgetting he’s OC of OSU. F him. Fat €unt 

Apparently I don't know what PI is because that 2 play sequence with Jeremiah Smith made no sense to me.

I’d have to see it again, I guess. I don’t remember there being a whistle before the Chiefs recovered the ball. If I’m wrong, I would agree that it wasn’t handled properly.

Also the Raiders should have kicked on that play.

If you’re watching the play and there’s a 1% chance it looks like DPI, it’s getting called

If the Lions lose to the Packers next week, we’re the #1 seed due to common opponents

But if the Lions lose to any other remaining team and we both finish 15-2, Lions win the conference 

I could see Packers having a chance

 

Something is wrong with our physical training staff. 

AJ, Devonta, Wilson, Mailata AND Goedert have all missed time due to hamstring injuries.

 

Injuries starting to become insurmountable.

I see heavy doses of eagles running game (Barkley/hurts) marching down the field all game and dominating the TOP as well as the scoreboard
