I have torn feelings for this game.  The Giants game last week showed me a lot... and not much of it was good.  But I can't pull for the draft pick while there are real games to be played. 

This. It's too ingrained in me to ever be happy about a loss. 

I have a bad feeling we're going to play more Rodgers/Jeffrey today because of "bad weather requiring bigger targets".

Then they should line Mailata up at TE.  He's the biggest target we have.

Then pull for the pick and the changes that won't happen if they win.

I'm just hoping PSU losing out might be an end to Franklin.   I don't think it will though.

Most coaches will get a pass this year due to covid and all the issues it caused. College and NFL unless they been on the hot seat a while and the top people just want them out no matter what.

Maybe this is the master plan by Doug. Just barely win the div letting the rest of the teams in the playoffs think we are a easy win and roll through the playoffs as the underdog to the SB. Doug is so smart.  :)

This is the last game for me before I decide to root for the pick.  They've got to look good or else I'm done with the season and on to the offseason.

Interesting chatter that some teams may make a point of not hiring minority HC's or GM's developed by division rivals so they do not end up with extra picks...

Sanders should get 25 carries today 

More Matt Pryor, bleh

I don't know if he can handle that kind of workload in the NFL. He has already shown that he gets nicked up pretty often. I like Sanders, but I don't know if he will ever be a 25+ carry a game guy.

He doesn't need to get 25 carries every game but he'd better be able to handle it a few times a year.

Sidney Jones was bad last week (got torched deep) and now he has another achilles injury? It looks like it'll never happen for him. 

The Eagles are down 2 of 22 starters (Dillard and Brooks, both offseason injuries), technically down 0 of 22 week 1 starters.

I am not counting Desean...nor am I counting whatever they have going on at the LB position, unless you want to argue that they are unlucky that Nate Gerry is not available.

They might actually be one of the healthier teams in the league right now.

Plus, losing Gerry was actually a positive because he is terrible.

Well, at least Arcega-Whiteside is active.

So much for him getting 6 feet of separation on a Sunday.

It's definitely an inner battle for me. I want the higher draft pick, Howie to get fired, and Schwartz contract to expire without a new one

I also don't want to see the team play like crap.

Saying a team is healthy by discounting two starting OL, one of which is an all-pro, is disingenuous.

Or 6 inches for that matter
