Dallas can score points. We barely beat Washington at home full strength. Giants are 3-1-1, and have scored 36 and 24 points the last two weeks. I think the Eagles are 4-5 after the next 4 games at best. If they come out of the bye and lost to Pittsburgh and fall to 4-6 or 3-7, I say you phantom injury Hurts for the year and give McKee 7 weeks with the starters. They either rally and make the playoffs, or you answer all your questions about the QB situation and pick in the top 10-12.

With how the nfc east is, guessing we are likely in it til at least week 16

October 11Oct 11 They are not putting McKee in under any circumstances other than Hurts injury.Some of y’all are legit retarded.
October 11Oct 11 Carolina has a good offense and bad defense. Next week will be good v good and bad v bad

October 11Oct 11 49ers are up there with the Chiefs in terms of their unlikability.Dallas clearly being in another stratosphere
October 11Oct 11 Thank God we aren’t in the nfc west. Well some of you would probably like it since we’d have a top 10 pick

October 11Oct 11 Seattle got flat out hosed. Someone's should check that clown's DraftKings account coming in to mark the ball a full yard short.
October 11Oct 11 This season is about 2 things… Getting Nick the Dick the F out of here. And anyone ANYONE but the Niners.
October 11Oct 11 So here's where this will get interesting....this movie has played on repeat for every franchise that reaches the twilight of a coaching and franchise player lifecycle. It already started last year.Last year, Patullo turned on Hurts. Not publicly, but it leaked out that he was telling NFC circles that it was "not my fault" and people don't understand the "inner workings" of what limited them. He may not have said it in a press conference, but I'm sure Hurts felt that heat.This year, Hurts is already starting to turn on Sirianni. The daggers and redirection of blame to the coach are clearly there in the press conferences.Sirianni will never trade verbal barbs through the media or deflect blame. He also knows that he's getting fired if this keeps up. Let's assume this continues for the next month. At that point, his one salvo, his one and only opportunity for a closing defense argument of his job and legacy...is to put another QB in there under center, call the offense, and show the world that it can be better.Unfortunately, that QB is Tanner Mckee and the surrounding personnel on this offense would make any QB's life very painful. But if we get through the next 3-4 games with the same vibes, same head coach job security, same offense....and the health of the offensive personnel has stabilized...it's not a crazy move (for Sirianni) to call Mckee's number. Not because it's a smart decision. Not because I think Mckee is better or that it will go well. But from his vantage point and from a job preservation standpoint, it's the one pathway that could lead to survival when all else is lost.Nobody likes having to do an onsides kick when you're down 3 scores in the 4th. And when it doesn't work out, you're in even worse position. But you've gotta try it. Again, I'm not advocating for that right now. But in a month with no change...?
