Their backup looks legit. Don’t be surprised to see them do good.

Yeah, the QB seems to be mobile and getting first team reps all week should make a big difference for them.   Their OLine is in shambles but we obviously will be pulling for them.

How?

I think we can win the next 5 in the row. Tampa doesn’t look that scary and I think we can beat Atlanta at home. As for NY, Miami, and Chicago, well we SHOULD beat them. But we should’ve beaten the angles as well. I think we have a good shot at getting that first week bye. Our biggest challenge going forward will be the Saints in NO and the Falcons in Atlanta

Depends how the conference plays out, and specifically our own division. If we can't pull away in our division, conference losses like the home game against a top NFC team in the Eagles do matter. We're counting on our division to crumble around us, and I'm just saying things do change quickly.

I was hoping getting blown out by the Saints would motivate the team to play better, especially at home, but with the loss to the Eagles, we need to get the mojo back in a hurry.

yep. we can't afford any losses. no loss is acceptable. thinking that any losses are acceptable only creates problems down the road.
