Don’t think anyone else right now is really all that relevant and waiting to see if the Bucs or Rams turn it around. I think the Packers are toast for a variety of reasons.

I think the Bucs have the best chance out of rams, packers and themselves to turn it around due to talent on the roster. However their schedule isn’t easy. They still have the rams next week the. In Germany to face the Seahawks. Then finish with at Cleveland, vs saints, at SF, vs. bengals, at Arizona, vs. Carolina and at atlanta.

packers badly need to get WR help. I think that would help their run game open up. I’m doubting they turn it around but their schedule is actually difficult. After Buffalo they have at lions, vs. Dallas, vs. titans, at eagles, at bears, vs. rams, at Miami, vs. Minnesota and vs. lions. Not sure i see them sweeping the lions. Not sure they go better than .500 over that stretch. Heck might not go 5-5 in those 10 games. Easily could see them going 4-6

Ummm, that's not how that expression works. Being constantly and spectacularly wrong doesn't have the result you think it does. Although, since you seem to never be right, I can see how you would be confused.

 

I was skeptical hurts was going to be any good this year, I wasn't really impressed by what I saw if him last year and didn't think he would ever be more than a middling qb and it seems that there are some who also thought the like in the off-season are now either being stubbornly idiotic or they're just trolling or both.

Hurts has played really well this year, anyone who can't see that are just butt hurt children or blind.

Saying hurts has regressed after he Threw 4 tds zero turnovers and made all those tds from 20+ yards out again is being idiotic or trolling.

I ate my crow on hurts a couple weeks ago, Ive always liked his intangibles, work ethic ect now it looks like his on the field play is catching up.

Having said that I'd like to see him climb the pocket or stay in it and let a play develop more often than just bailing as soon as his 1st read is covered, there were a few times today where he just tried to take off, part of that may be coaching and part may be just him getting skittish 🤷‍♂️

It’s a favorable flow to the schedule that the Eagles go:

bye week —> blowout with starters resting in 4th quarter —> annoying Thursday short week.

They should be pretty well rested for the short week.

It’s weird because he’s not anywhere on the main roster page

Then again they had Greg Ward on IR all the way up till he signed on the PS so who knows. 

I sent Chris McPherson an e-mail asking him for clarification.  It will be interesting to see what he replies.

Gut tells me the Bucs still win the division but don’t do it impressively. I think Brady has reached the end, but I’ve seen that guy come back one too many times to count him out for 100% certainty. But things this season seem different. I remember their center getting hurt in camp but I can’t remember if they ever officially declared him out for the season. If their OL never gets healthy, they’re in trouble.

‘Packers I think just lack weapons. Even if they get a WR, their line isn’t very good and their defense hasn’t been up to par either.

Rams, still not sure what’s up with them. Their roster isn’t way different than last season, but their line is way worse and no one aside from Kupp gets open. I still think they have talent, but something is seriously off.

I’d put MIN ahead of the Turds.  You did say right now, otherwise I’d put SF decidedly ahead of them as well 

i think Dallas when they face Minnesota coming up is gonna beat them. I watched the cardinals/Vikings game and the Dallas/bears game, i think Dak being back makes that offense much better so less pressure on the defense to be great every possession. Als when pollard is given the touches it’s a different dynamic on offense than zeke out there. With the Vikings i don’t trust their defense. Murray had some ridiculously dumb plays in that game and yet the cardinals still had a chance in that game. To me the difference between Dallas and the Vikings is Dallas’ defense. They gave up 29 to the bears but it felt like they took their foot off the gas then when it got close proceeded to smash the bears again. 

I’d put the niner ahead of both if we were talking a couple weeks from now. I think once the niners get deebo back and guys on defense they are imo the team that matches up the best against the eagles.

Why can't the Eagles finish 15-2? That's 8-2 in the last 10...and I struggle to come up with more than 2 loses. It's Dallas and maybe NYG?

So as long as Dallas loses any one game the rest of the way, 2 losses gives us the #1 seed.

Amazing how much everyone in Seattle hates Wilson.

Because they lost 0, 1 or 3 games.

I tend to agree on the Bucs. Their schedule is tough but i think they figure it out at some point. I also think the injuries to their oline have been a major issue for them. Losing marpet in the offseason was a bigger loss then they thought followed by losing Jensen to his injury. I’d be surprised if they aren’t looking to acquire a guard at the deadline

packers lack WRs. Their oline looks bad but i think some of that stems from teams don’t respect the Wr so they are just coming with the rush and stacking the box. As good as rodgers is it’s really hard to win in todays NFL with 2 rookies, injury prone veterans in Cobb, Lazard and Watkins. Heck watson can’t stay healthy as a rookie. 

The issue with the Rams is that they have absolutely no oline. Injuries, poor replacements for guys and just years of trading picks caught up to them. They also are awful running the ball. Akers went awol and disappeared. Henderson so a nice backup but shouldn’t be starting. They don’t get holes but they also are just not very good. Defense is suffering cause the offense can’t sustain drives and they get run down as the game wears on. Also dealing with some of what the eagles dealt with after winning in 2017. They couldn’t get out of their own way at times before foles came in and saved us at the end of the season.

Ndamukong Suh is a free agent. Wonder if he has anything left in tank

He can fill in the Davis role. He's capable of that 

That was a bomb by Rodgers but it was incomplete 

Packers just lost Watson to concussion.  Rodgers is throwing to Cliff from Section 228 and Stan the hot dog guy

The only NFC team I'd like to avoid in the playoffs is Dallas. Divisional opponent + has game wreckers on defense.

You're Howie.

You have to re-sign Bradberry, CGJ, Epps, Edwards, White, Hargrave.

Which three or four get the $$?

Fair enough, generally agree.

Green Bay has a shot to turn it around until they come up against our Eagles on a lovely evening at the Linc in week 11....until then, they're struggling, inside AND outside...Rodgers needs playmakers, ain't got em...

Tbh the Packers really need to playmakers at WR. I am surprised they are just sitting around not making a move. I’d have already signed fuller and traded for someone like cooks. I’ve said this a couple times on here, their wide receiving core reminds me of the Eagles in 2020. You had aging veterans who couldn’t stay healthy. The Eagles had desean and Alshon. The Packers have their version in Randall Cobb and Sammy Watkins. All of them were old and none of them stayed healthy. Lazard is the only reliable veteran which is similar to Greg ward with the eagles in 2020.  Then the Packers have two rookies they are relying on in Romeo doubs and Christian Watson. The Eagles relied on Reagor and Quez walkins/John Hightower. Reagor like Watson both been disappointments and can’t/didn’t stay healthy. And Romeo Dobbs like hightower/Watkins had moments but not consistent. The oline has not been good but I think that’s a possible byproduct of the fact defenses don’t respect the passing game. so they’re just putting their ears back and coming at them. the running game can’t get going consistently because everyone knows they can’t pass so they’re gonna gearing up to stop the run.

I would much rather see Wilson in that role.  The Coaches know what to expect from him and he knows the scheme.  Suh is an unknown on both of those.

Second best team in the NFC and their biggest threat in my opinion. Dak has given this team fits the past couple years. He’s owned them whether people want to admit it or not.

Bradberry, Cgj and white/edwards. I think either edwards or white is extended. I don’t see both with having drafted dean
