These soccer players sure  fake injuries a lot. 

It's one of the biggest reasons I stopped being a fan of it. I'll still watch the odd game here and there. I'll follow some of the world Cup but it is all embarrassing.

Counterpoint to hot take Cowboys are great now and Vikings were exposed as frauds.

Buffalo exposed Tennessee 41-7 in week 2

Tennessee is 7-1 since being exposed and Buffalo is 5-3 over the same period.

There was no exposure, just overreaction. It was a football game and nothing more.

You are dense

Cox has faded late in the season the past few years. It’s good to let him rest for the playoffs. 

Isn't this the guy that Donahoe wanted over Williams?

Closer to the end of the game, the camera was pointed at the receiver's bench and Hurts was there talking, AJ looked sort of disinterested. 

Teams have adjusted on D. Can hurts throw a counterpunch? So far no

Yes, he was briefly discussed recently. His and Williams' stats were pretty even for the most part.

Outside of using his legs, maybe this season he can't. We'll see what he does next year with more development in his passing game. He needs to climb the pocket and not bail too soon.

i noticed that the Eagles had Scott as the KOR in the Colts game.  While Covey was on the injury report, he was healthy enough to be the PR.  I wonder if the Eagles are fed up with teams kicking short and Covey not making the 25 yard line.  Scott’s 21.6 yard average is 1 yard higher than Covey’s 20.6 yard average.  Thoughts?

I was not surprised. I actually did some research last week to see what the career KO return averages of Scott, Covey, Gainwell, and Watkins were. The latter two were dreadful, so it's clear as hell (to me) that Covey is better than them. I did see that Scott's average was better, so when I saw that he was back there at the beginning of the game -- and throughout -- I was not surprised in the least.

We knew that last year…

little reason to think another offseason moves that needle. Its who he has always been

Looks to be a good NT.  Williams is starting to show some promise as well

Don't know if this was posted yet

Dallas is a bigger problem than Minnesota.

Meh, this week. They are so inconsistent I would be shocked if they didn’t drop another couple. Giants are due against them for instance. It think it’s set up pretty nice for the Eagles. Just hopefully no more injuries. 
 

Be nice to see them come out and whoop up on Green Bay after a couple so so weeks.

Yup, he would fit in Gannons current scheme much better than Milton, 

Milton did have a sack this past week but hasn't done much all year.

Donahue is somewhere smiling...

Wait till OBJ announces he's going to Dallas.  This place will lose their minds.

I don't think the play calling was great and I don't think the in game management was either. But that's not on Hurts that's just an observation I had during the game.

That was probably the worst game Sirianni coached. I think he was trying way too hard to stick it to Irsay.

I think you may be right. I think he was just trying to be too creative and too cute. Like they tried to get the TEs involved which I'm not sure was the right thing to do there.

Hargrave had Nelson hopping.

Yeah, he definitely coached emotionally

We had no DE depth behind Sweat and BG.  It was more of an insurance move rather than an impact move.

Interestingly, it seems we still have no depth at DE behind Sweat and BG.

Wait a couple years:

PFR

Williams  27g  2st  52 tackles, 15 pressures, 5 hurries, 5 KD, 4 sacks

McNeill  27g  16 st  56 tackles, 13 pressures, 7 hurries, 3 KD, 3 sacks

McNeill would not have gotten to start behind Hargrave and Cox, he isn't Davis.
