I think Panthers might have a better shot knocking off the Cowboys in the wild card round than the Bucs.

I agree. But until the Saints lose a game, it’s better if the Bucs win on Sunday. A Bucs win keeps the Saints out of the playoffs. 

If we beat New Orleans then yes, it’d be better if the Panthers beat the Bucs because if they win the division, they’re more likely to pull an upset. 

I wouldn't count out the Bucs in a playoff game at home vs the Cowboys. They look pretty terrible right now, but I could also see it as a Seahawks vs Saints game years back the Marshawn Lynch insane TD run game. The Bucs are good defensively and I could see the Cowboys in typical playoff Cowboys fashion go in there and turn it over a bunch of times and Brady pull one last rabbit out of his hat.

DeVonta already has more TDs and catches than D-Jax in their first 2 years. Needs 138 more yards in the next games to take the lead in yards as well.

Safe to say he is having the best career start of any Eagles WR ever.

I view D-Jax as a talented and entertaining Hot-Dogger. DeVonta carries himself like a smooth professional that should have a long and productive career. I was concerned about Smith being so slight and skinny but he seems to be able to avoid the big hits.

Honestly after watching the Dallas game its just made me much more confident if we had to play them again in the playoffs. I dont fear Dallas at all if they're coming to Philly. I think it just proved that the 49ers should be our only concern in the NFC. Wrap up this #1 seed by beating the Saints this weekend and we have a clear road to the SB. With or without Lane Johnson I think this team can prevail.

His season is probably done being his second concussion after that brutal one. And we saw how their offense was when he was out the last time. They probably won't make the playoffs. Which is a bummer, I wanted to see how they'd look in the playoffs. They're just more interesting than some boring team like the Jets or Steelers.

I’m worried more about injuries than the opponent.  The Eagles without CGJ and Maddox are short on talent in the middle secondary.  Scott is bad, Wallace is bad, Epps is extremely meh, I don’t like Blankenship as much as some others.

Hopefully Harris will be elevated this week to play back there.  I assume CGJ will be back for the playoffs and Maddox won’t be.

Without Lane out there I’d prefer see Dillard at OT than Driscoll.  I think Driscoll is fine at guard; tackle not so much 

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to Nathaniel Hackett

We can still win the Super Bowl. It'll simply be harder to do so.

I don’t really agree with the bolded. He’s taken the hardest hits on the team of any skill players the last two years imo. He just absorbs them and pops right up like nothing happened.

Agreed. He has potential but he looks like a UDFA out there mostly. He’s also pretty reckless.

That dude was a train wreck as a head coach.

Had to hire a coach to handle clock management, which usually falls on the HC.

Didn't call offensive plays which was his deal in GB.

Didn't have any involvement in defensive game planning during the week...

Makes me wonder what the hell he did all week and what did he do on game day other than show up to press conference after a loss and say it all starts with me I'll shoulder the blame.

That's mighty big of him since no one can figure out what he actually does 🤷‍♂️

Can he go back to the packers like today?

I'm sure A Aron would welcome him back in a hot minute.

So Lane 4-6 Week injury - I dont know if he will make it back for playoffs. 

Whats the latest on Davis and Maddox?

The report is " significant toe Injury"

After his X ray the doctor determined that Maddox skeleton was actually made of glass.

Last I heard he was looking Into under going full skeletal adamantium encasement.

Which may have long term affects on his mobility and or possibly kill him but man when he hits you it'll feel like a ton of bricks...

Nick Foles looks rough. Spends a few months around Irsay and he’s clearly a guy that’s seen some ish. 

Per google, grade 2 tear turf toe = a few weeks

Grade 3 turf toe = 4 weeks to several months depending on if surgery is needed.

I think a big reason why he got that job was the assumption that Rodgers would be joining him in Denver. When that didn’t happen, I think they just went along with it and assumed they would be okay with Wilson. 

Well, use one of the 1s on a tackle and the other on a DE

Never really thought if that but that makes sense but even then seems Hackett would still be in a position where every week people would be asking what the hell does he do all week and on game day, which isn't a problem when one is winning, ask Barry Switzer 

But when no one knows what the coach actually does and they are losing that's a one way ticket to goodbyeville.

I bet you if we could be a fly in the wall during some of these head coaching searches and interviews we'd be blown away about how incompetent some of these processes are.

There's no way a guy as clueless as Hackett crushed an interview. Owners and GMs look at candidates and how their individual units played and that's what they care about. They could go into an interview process stuttering and drooling and they'd still hire them. And I think owners have a way bigger influence than fans would want to believe.

What we will never know is how much of a factor Russell Wilson is in the above.  He was calling Seattle audibles at the LOS while in Denver and maybe Hackett just wanted out after seeing how much of a d-bag he is - let's not forget how glad the Seahawks were when Wilson left.  Plus the change of ownership was never going it to be an easy transition when you have an expensive QB who looks worse than he did last year and there is no loyalty to the hire.

It will be interesting to see what comes out about how dysfunctional the Broncos have been and where the fault lies - the shouting match last night showed there is a big tension between the OL and the QBs.  I'm not defending Hackett, but just assuming there is more to that organisation than him being an idiot being the root of all evil.

Absolutely, I totally put more blame on Wilson and ownership than I do Hackett.

Hackett was horribly underqualified and under prepared to be a head coach, pairing that with the cancer Russell Wilson has become was destined to fail 

Some guys are just better as coordinators and I'm sure Hackett will go onto to have success as one somewhere else, where as I'm not sure there is any coach or system out there that can fix the train wreck that is Russell Wilson.

His whole team visibly hate him and yet the broncos are stuck with him due to cap for a while.

Not sure how many coaches would want to walk into that nightmare.

I've heard demeco could be a leading candidate and if I were Meco I'd say thanks but no thanks, he'll have plenty of other better organizations after his services, he won't have to settle for the broncos.

Not sure any coach would want that job, I get there are only 32 head coaching jobs in the NFL so it's a big deal but walking into that mess is just setting one up to fail.
