Yeah another loss sucks and the world seems like it's about to end. Still we have a easy schedule ahead and the eagles were almost as good a team as the Cowboys. Yes both are Avg teams but sometimes when injuries bite and you're a avg team this happens. Things are not as lost as some might think and even could end up better than expected. Here are some of my thoughts moving forward. 

 

1.Oline: This is by far the worst Oline I have seen a team field ever but Rhule is being forced by injuries to play guys who could be good to great in the future. We will consistently see teams run stunts on us because the Texans wrote the roadmap to beating our line. Dallas definitely perfected it and Philly just copied their paper. The Good news is we actually have the right Tackles where they should be now. If Brady and Rhule are smart they will leave it that way. We need to leave it and let the line gel. I would also like to see Brown beside Moton but I'm guessing injury is the only way we will. 

 

2. Defense: while they really are not to blame for our losses getting our new CBs up to speed will take a few weeks. I feel we will see those TDs slowly become less and less with Henderson ,Jackson, and Gilmore gel. It's not ideal to be rebuilding early season but we can't help JC went down. 

 

3. CMC: I really can't tell you how much he effects the game. Our loss today prob would have been a win if he was in there. Darnold is not ready to take a team on his back much less with a Oline not fit to block for a ACC team. Getting McCaffrey back will be a huge boost. Add in Tommy Tremble and we will have a pretty good attack when he's back. 

 

 

So yes my prediction is still the same. Yes I don't think a big losing streak is coming. I see us taking on a struggling Vikings team pretty well. Our next big test will be the Patriots and will be the bar on how well we have come. So don't melt down, know we are a building team that is probably going to end up around. 500 and relax and just enjoy the ups and downs of the rest of the season.

Honestly our secondary other than fuggin Franklin played well today.  Everyone asks about Henderson...did you hear his name called?  No, that's a good thing....he wasn't beat today.  Jackson played really well overall....our defense was great.

Our offense and special teams lost this game.  The ST coach should be fired, Daley and Miller need to be on the sideline and Brady and the coaching staff have to decide what kind of offense we can run with the protection Sam is afforded.  The offense played like crap, Sam played like crap, ST were crap and Franklin who isn't an NFL starter continued to play like crap...hell where is Russ Cockrell when you need him.

Eagles as good as the Cowboys? How do you figure?

No matter how you want to spin it we should not have lost this game. 
 

We were supposed to be piling up wins now because we probably won’t win much at the end, doesn’t look possible now. 
 

And the Pats had to come back from ten down to beat the lowly Texans.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.

      I am not so sure about that. I don't know that he is so soley offensively focused as winning focused. But, not really in a productive way. I get the impression he wants to be like Robert Kraft and take credit for "taking a risk on Bill Belichick" and being successful.  His track record indicates that in the NFL and in his business life.
