Let's go 3.

I want Hurts and Montana in the same conversation.

Drew Brees might actually be entertained at that point.

And his noodle arm might get erect for awhile.

Probably 1, and i think it has to be this year unless Lane plays one more season. Idk what this offense will look like without him for an entire season considering they haven't drafted a replacement yet like they did for Kelce.

They get a bona fide replacement at RT (doesnt have to be Lane level, just very good)

@mattwill Eagles 30 Bucs 24

Bonus: Jordan Davis with a pick 6 😎

The irony there is that the Eagles may have pioneered that kick. They just don't use it because they had to go back to Elliott on kickoffs. Mann was doing that style of kickoff last year before anyone was talking about it. And there was someone in youtube that talked about it like it was something never seen before, so the Eagles may have been 1st.

Sit Landon, replace Calcaterra with Latu and I think we'd see better results.

Then it definitely needs to be banned!!! Eagles can't have nice stuff.

I think you diehard phillies fans are a little goofy to get excited for this team after they do the same thing year after year in the playoffs. BUT, when does it happen for philly teams, that the phillies get to play a team like the Marlins with a chance to secure the bye? And they blow them out 11-1 rather than make it interesting and play down to the level? Shows a certain level of luck to get that draw, and a bit of focus to blow them out. Maybe????? this team could be different.

Its the sort intellectual thought that the NFL HQ won't understand. The kicks work and its up to teams to figure it out with the returners. But seeing a wobbly kick that a player may not field correctly and may get lit up when returning with a player at full speed, could be seen to be a safety concern right? After all, the NFL really cares about player safety, especially on ugly plays.

Speaking of the shove, the Officials aren't going to police the D calling out the OL cadence because its too hard to do in such a noisy atmosphere. Proper clown world stuff

There’s still plenty of football left, but the current NFL standings strongly suggest that there could be new Super Bowl contenders this year.  With the Ravens

Some good analysis. Mentions some teams with easy schedules that they'll take advantage of

Brees had a noodle arm? Umm.. ok. He does now since his arm is shot I but I disagree that he always did

It's a combination of Dickerson not being healthy and playing Chris Jones and then one of the best 3-4 D Lines in the league with Forde, Fiske and Turner at the Rams.

Also Dickerson at 80% is still way better than Toth at 100%

Matt Pryor? I hate to invoke that name or Toit, but if it means Dickerson gets rest for a week, the longer term prospects may well improve for the OL. Persisting through an issue is a great mindset to have, but at some point, common sense needs to prevail. Dickerson needs to let his body heal up

Same thing will happen as the last 3 years. Bats will go cold vs good pitching and Robby T will be lost making decisions at key points. What I hope for and what will probably happen are two different things.

I’d say he had an average arm. Definitely better suited for a dome.

Noodle arm is a bit of an exaggeration. But, he never had a cannon like Elway or anything like that. Then he had the shoulder issue in San Diego, which is partly why they moved on from him and very few teams were hot after him when he hit the free agent market. He was primarily an anticipatory thrower, more than a guy that zipped it in there. Much more Montana than Marino.

The chargers and bills got really fortuitous scheduling. The bills 5 toughest games are all at home (ravens, chiefs, eagles, Bucs and bengals are without burrow). Toughest road games are Pittsburgh, Atlanta and Houston. The bills really have a chance to go 15-2. As for the chargers, they also have all their toughest games at home or neutral site: Chiefs in Brazil, Vikings, eagles, colts, commanders and Texans. The 3 toughest road games are at KC, Denver then whoever you want to choose between jags, Dallas, titans, giants and Miami. If both teams stay healthy i think they are going to be the 1 and 2 seed.

Not many have a cannon. Seems more like he said something people didn't like and so they try to downplay his talent

It's always F the Saints but I know Brees was great

Why do you have to say things like this? Let us have our illusion/delusion for as long as it can last.

I’ve felt this way for a little bit, if it’s the dodgers vs. Phillies in NLDS then i think the winner of that series wins the whole thing. The issue with playing the dodgers in the nlds and not nlcs is the scheduling allows the dodgers to only use 3 starting pitchers. Two of them are gonna be Yamamoto and snell who’ve been great when they’ve pitched this year. I’m guessing the third is Ohtani with how great he’s looked lately. Meaning they can move glasnow, Sheehan (been really good for them) and kershaw to the bullpen and piggy back them in games. Imo i think their path to victory in the nlds is starters make it 6+ then piggy back for 2 innings. Limit the normal BP pieces to needing as few outs as possible. the nlds schedule benefits their BP. That said if the Phillies make guys like snell, Yamamoto, Ohtani work to get out of games early then allow themselves a few innings against the dodgers bullpen not of Sheehan, kershaw or glasnow. That’s how you beat the dodgers cause that part of their pen has been very bad lately. Then again Phillies bullpen lately has also been leaking oil

Really need to be cheering for whoever plays the dodgers. Even if it’s the dbacks or Mets. Phillies are better than those teams and really should beat them. Then again have lost to both in back to back years
