22 hours ago22 hr Just now, DEagle7 said:The Giants DL isn't bad though.They’ve given up 26, 17, 38, 33 and 34 the last 5 weeks. Only team that didn’t score 25+ was us on a Thursday night. Their defense is definitely not as good as early on the season and now they are banged up in the back 7 (believe burns was in a boot after our Thursday game so he’s als dealing with something even if he/they say he’s fine)Their pass rush is good. Their secondary with injuries and LBs are not. Their DL and D last 3 weeks has been atrocious against the run. given up 142 yards, 276 yards and 159 yards on the ground the last 3 weeks.

22 hours ago22 hr 10 minutes ago, LeanMeanGM said:Sure, but it's not surprising given the tush push. They should always be near the top because of that.The only thing I disagreed with was the "they don't have that many 3 and outs" statement because they absolutely do and it's not even a debate.It’s lower than it should be. (3rd down conversion %) We can also keep in mind they’ve had 2-3 games that they’ve played to their potential on offense - and are trending upward - so I’m expecting their 3rd down conversion to increase quite a bit the 2nd half of the season.
21 hours ago21 hr 6 minutes ago, Lambo said:I was going to post this same tweet. Eagles are on a historic pace of 3 and outs.Last few games they’re trending upward offensively so I highly doubt their 3rd down % does not increase the 2nd half of the season. Then combine that with 78%+ 4th down conversion, they should be fine the 2nd half of the season

21 hours ago21 hr I think the low 3rd down percentage is based on the failure of the run game. Is there a nerdy website that has the average 3rd down distance? I bet the Eagles have one of the longest yards to gain averages.

The current odds for MVP are as follows:2025-26 NFL MVP oddsJosh Allen, QB, Bills: +180What to know: Allen is the reigning MVP, and in a matchup between him and his archival Patrick Mahomes, Allen's Bills won a 28-21 Week 9 showdown. In that matchup, Allen completed 23 of 26 passes for 273 yards and a touchdown. He also added two rushing TDs. With that, Allen is favored to repeat as MVP once again, after being the +350 second choice last week.Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs: +350What to know: The two-time regular-season MVP was the +115 favorite last week, but he struggled in a Week 9 loss to the Bills, completing just 15 of 34 passes for 250 yards and a pick. In the last two games, Mahomes has three TDs and three interceptions for the 5-4 Chiefs.Drake Maye, QB, Patriots: +425What to know: The Pats have won six straight behind their second-year QB, who is quickly turning into a star. In a Week 9 win over Atlanta, he had 259 passing yards, two touchdowns and a pick, guiding New England to a 24-23 win. He was at +500 last week. Matthew Stafford, QB, Rams: +550What to know: The Rams are 6-2, and both of their losses involved some bad luck on their end. However, Stafford has an NFL-best 21 passing TDs and also has 2,147 yards through the air. In a Week 9 win over the Saints, Stafford had 281 passing yards and four touchdowns. He moved from +1200 last week to +550. Baker Mayfield, QB, Buccaneers: +1600What to know: Mayfield threw for 152 yards in a 23-3 win over New Orleans in Week 8. It was the first game this season in which he did not throw a touchdown. The Bucs are 6-2 and had a bye in Week 9. Sam Darnold, QB, Seahawks: +2000 What to know: Sam Darnold is finally getting the respect he deserves. Seattle is 6-2 and its two losses have come by a combined six points. The Seahawks dominated Washington in Week 9, behind 330 passing yards and four TDs from Darnold. He completed 21 of 24 passes as well. Lamar Jackson, RB, Ravens: +2200What to know: Can you ever really count Lamar out? He's only seen the field in five games this season, but after missing three consecutive games, Jackson was back with a vengeance in Baltimore's Week 9 win over Miami. He was 18-for-23 passing for 204 yards and four touchdowns.

You cant blame this on the run game.

Rams have statement games left for him. Sf, 2 against Seattle, vs. Bucs and vs. lions. Maye’s schedule is really easy. Bucs game is arguably the toughest defense he has left. Has at Bucs, vs. jets, at Cincinnati, vs. giants, bye, vs bills, at Baltimore, at jets and vs. Miami.

Patullo is bringing out the best in him and by the end of the year maybe we see the best version of Jalen yet.But you guys fall for a lot of nonsense just because it implies Hurts is great and its silly of you.

21 hours ago21 hr 16 minutes ago, Lambo said:Which games would you say, Rams, Vikings and second Giants game? Probably. But even against the Broncos the offense would have been decent if it weren’t for the penalties. Probably would have had an extra 100+ yards in the air that game if it weren’t for some missed and/or ticky tack calls.

21 hours ago21 hr 8 hours ago, RememberTheKoy said:It isn't 1960 anymore, the season is no longer 12 games. It is 17 games. It makes 0.0 sense for McKee to start in weeks 12 and 13 and there is nonchance of that at all unless Hurts gets injured.Its not Weeks 12 and 13. It is Week 12 and Week 15.
21 hours ago21 hr 6 hours ago, LeanMeanGM said:There is no scenario in the world they bench a healthy Hurts week 12 in an 18 week season.Let's see how it plays out. As I said, it is a calculated risk. What is it about either the Cowboys in Week 12 or the Raiders in Week 15 that scares you?For the record, it is only my opinion, and I realize it is outside the box. However, in order to realize maximum value from McKee, he needs to see live action in meaningful situations. I'm not looking to change anyone's mind, just stating my thoughts on an asset value maximization tactic.
