Since Dillard is now on the active roster, he's sure to be dressed tonight. Otherwise why would they have activated him off IR in the first place? They didn't need to. So he'll be dressed. Assuming Mailata is healthy enough to start (and that's obviously not a sure thing) would the Eagles actually dress NINE offensive linemen? Or would they go with the usual eight?  And if only eight, who are the three backups? I would assume Dillard, Jurgens, and Opeta. Although maybe Driscoll would be the eighth guy because he can play any of four spots whereas Opeta plays only two. But I would sure as heck prefer to have both of them available. I'd dress nine and go short elsewhere.

This may be a moot point because maybe Mailata is the odd man out because of his injury and Dillard gets he start at left tackle.

Let's go Ravens, and let's go Bengals! A Jets win would be nice too but that's hard to imagine. Dolphins winning would be good too. Somehow it's hard for me to root for them this year because I was so conditioned last year to root against them. I have to remind myself that I should no longer give any damns about what they do.

Some teams just don't get it.  This is SO much better than anything with ATL, gradients and other stupid modern stuff.  The Falcons should be in these every week.

Completely different kind of bananas.  Linc over CBP, and its not even close.

Linc, definitely. Phillies are more family friendly.

It depends on how the game is going and how important the game is. There are many games where the crowd at the Linc is uninspired.

Dress 9 OL today.  Mailata is banged up.  Dickerson has been banged up.  Kelce is banged up.   They can't afford to dress only 8.  Gotta go light elsewhere.

If Mailata is active, it's 9.  If not, it's 8.

I always liked their red helmets.   Never understood why they went with the black trend with Jerry Glanville.   Should have never made that switch.   A black helmet with a black bird on it is stupid looking.  Black on black?   DUMB.  

 

Do you hear me, Jeffery?   D-U-M-B!!!

This is the real winner.

 

@LeanMeanGM Glad you're back!

The entire panel on NFL Network, including Irvin, picked the Eagles tonight. Including Cynthia on Projections.

Not sure I like that, but I see a DubYa anyway.

Eagles up 14 early, changes the Cowbishes game plan from run to pass, Eagles D tees off.

Two picks of Rush and 5 sacks, Eagles O gets two TDs in the 4th. Surprise! 

Eagles                34

Cowbums          17

Bonus: Davis Strip sack and recovery.

Extra Bonus: Jerrah seen leaving the Skybox in disgust. Walk of Shame on National TV.

Mailata, Dillard, Dickerson and Kelce are all banged up. Dress 9.

Easier to dress nine if you make Elliott inactive too, as Dicker doesn't take a roster spot.

Ian Book, an RB, 2 DBs (Blankenship, Jobe/Maddox), an LB (Johnson). Shouldn't be too hard.

Those would be pro-Dolphins though, wouldn't they?  🤔

@LeanMeanGM

Eagles 22

Cowboys 27

Bonus: Cooper Rush more rushing TDs than Hurts

First world problems and all that. 

Tonight is going to be loud when the Eagles D starts teeing off.  I hope we are super aggressive on D.

Put the Ravens on upset alert for today.   Giants will beat them.   Remember, you heard it here first.

If that proves true, it’s time to start taking the Giants seriously. 

Few offensive things I dislike more than being in shotgun in 3rd and 1 or less.

Arthur Smith is a good coach. He's getting the most out of that roster.

That play by Jackson just took the Ravens to the brink of out of FG range.   

The Bengals fumbled on a Punt return. They're playing so dumb

Dicker isn’t on the team. If they make Elliott inactive, they don’t have a kicker.

It's time.    Giants will run all over the Ravens today.   Giants are averaging over 5 ypc.  Ravens are surrendering over 5 ypc.  

Run the ball, shorten the game... get points.

Every week the saints get some lucky BS play. It’s so annoying,

Lamar looks confused bad. Both running and passing

You don't get to dress extra players if you elevate a PS player on game day.

Ah. Didn't know that. Thanks.

The giants are annoyingly good

Bigger threat than Dallas, IMO.
