This is the NFL. No one stumbles into the playoffs. Once you get in, you are a playoff team. You can't win, if you don't get in. I laugh because the same people saying we would only win two to three games this year are upset we aren't leading the division. We are a decent team, not a good one yet. We are relatively young experience wise on offense and it shows In the inconsistency.

We are not a team that could beat the 49ers. We are improving but we aren't that team. We aren't a team that can beat the Rams. But we are still .500 over halfway into the season. We do need to beat the bucs and the saints and we can do that

I thought I saw an offsides once, but it didn't get called.

He does. If he takes the blame when people don't get open, they don't block and they drop passes that go through their hands, he gets the credit. The QB always gets the credit or the blame.

At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability. But there is still a lot of football to play. I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.

It looks like the Saints came to play and we were still celebrating the GB win.

We just beat a good team in their house. They kept talking about how good Green Bay offense is and we only have up 13.

If you have been around this board long enough, you realize no matter what player you have, they are rarely good enough until they go somewhere else and then it laments why we let them go.

I think the game plan was to get the ball out quick to help the online. It was also dictated by game. We were able to get better production from the run game so we were more focused on moving the chains and draining the clock than quick scores .

I'm not sure if it still stands. The Jets once held the best preseason record.

I think he gets this year to show what he can do. Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two. It's the first preseason game. Some of the starters weren't even in it. There is no scheming or game planning. Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense. Let it play out.

The lone bright spot of the Matt Rhule era.

Or it could be because we are building a pretty good team that is going to compete. But I expect us to win the division this year.

It's not the pick that concerns me. I'd throw a 3rd at him immediately. But how does that impact our cap and the ability to sign our own players next year?

Agreed. Even if Bryce plays out and we have a chance to get a good rookie QB, you take it. It's too important a position to not have a good backup/future starter at because you have a starter. injuries happen, contract negotiations fall through, etc.

Bryce was playing on a high level the last part of the season. Hard to believe we played both superbowl teams that close. Philly came down to a dropped pass and we'd have handed them a L. If he comes back in that form, we won. If he goes back to early season form, we'll be picking high next year.

I think Tepper gets a bad rap. The team was going downhill before he bought it. He was a new owner and took his lumps, but I do feel like he's learned and has the team in the right direction. It seems that when things are bad it's Tepper's fault and when they start turning around it's someone else's credit. Morgan was a good hire and Canales was a good hire.

We were one dropped pass away from giving them an L.

It's been a mix of things, Rhule was a huge mistake and that affected everything else. Tepper went with potential in Rhule, then wanted to go with reliability in Reich and got neither from either. Canales was the right guy and I think we have seen that last season. He might not be perfect, but he made things work. Bridgewater, Darnold and Baker would have looked better with competent coaches and play calling.

As a rookie head coach, I think he exceeded expectations. We looked competitive in almost all our games. I don't think he's hit his ceiling. 7 of 10 for this year.

They will be a force next year in the NFC South.

That this was an away game made it that much more better.

This has happened several years in Wilmington. Once we are out of the playoffs, they start skipping our games at the end of the year.

The NFL isn't very fan friendly. You should be able to purchase NFL ticket or individual game streaming.

At least we're in close games.
