Atlanta with a shot to beat Cleveland even though their passing game has been terrible.

Fwiw, when I mentioned Brady, I was mainly referring to his time with the Patriots. Gronk was good, but generally speaking, their wide receiver/running back group over his last few years with the Pats didn't impress me that much. I think Brady made some average guys look better than they were. Although I do think the Patriots did a good job putting together a team that was better than the sum of its parts.

A great qb can compensate for some of that. Tom Brady did for years. But the team would have to be very very wise with the few assets and draft it did have.

Their defense is playing ok against a good Eagles offense. But two critical turnovers are hurting them.

You might be right.

Bradberry picked off Lawrence.

Meh, it was good play for the defender and then the other defender was in the right place at the right time. Probably not a good decision to throw though. Steve Smith might have come down with it, but the average NFL receiver would not.

Its early in the season, but Hurts certainly seems to be improving and learning how to be an NFL QB.

Eagles spotted Jacksonville 14 and have now scored 20 consecutive points.

Terrible call in the Eagles game. Receiver got pegged for blocking before the Pass was thrown. Looked to me like he started while the pass was in the air. Didn't matter as the Eagles got a td later, but still not sure what the ref was looking at.

I think if we have another 4 or 5 win season, Rhule is gone. In my opinion, that is a given. The question though is what happens if we win 7 or 8 or even 9. Would that be enough to get Rhule another year?

Or to get likes or hits or retweets, etc....

Fwiw, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tepper go after Harbaugh. I don't want him to, but it wouldn't surprise me.

One of the problems with sports media, to many people who really have no clue as to what is going on, have a take on it. My guess is this one is far closer to the truth. Three years is about the norm for a coach who doesn't win.

Don't know if I agree. I certainly think Teddy is probably as good as Nick Foles, and he won a Superbowl with a great supporting cast. I am not sure the Dolphins have enough talent to win with Teddy. And we certainly didn't.

With the exception of a few teams, it seems that scoring is down across the board this year. This game is kind of boring.

Sam Darnold, for those who seem to have a poor memory of last year. (1) J.C. Jackson Pick 6 off Sam Darnold pass - Patriots @ Panthers - YouTube (1) Sam Darnold throws horrible INT vs. Eagles - YouTube (1) Sam Darnold spikes the ball into his own lineman... - YouTube

It appears the worst of the rain might be over by Sunday at four. Personally, I hope it's too windy for much of a passing game.

Only way Darnold plays this year is injury. And when he does, its time to start talking about the offseason, first round pick, and who the new coach will be.

Fwiw, I think Ian has played ok that last couple of weeks. Given how little we throw the ball, the three catches are decent. And his blocking has held up well.

54 possessions a game would be the most dominant offense in the history of the NFL. Or the worst defense in the history of the NFL.

I said offense, as in the whole offense. And the run game is part of the offense too. So those numbers count to. And most importantly, 14th in points per game.

Why on earth would the Giants not call a timeout and try to get in fg range? Gano has a big leg. And why would the Cowboys call one for them? Maybe because the Cowboys knew the Giants offense couldn't move it?

After watching some of the games over the last few weeks, I have come to the conclusion that our offense is not terrible. It is decidedly average. Unfortunately, some bad end game decisions and poor red zone play are the reason we are 1-2. I doubt those two things will get better, but one can always hope.

got to admit I wasn't paying much attention, but it seems that most of the time, a blocked kick isn't the fault of the kicker.
