...not happy with the offense.  The Eagles got the best of them last night.

However, I am quite happy with their offensive offense.

Pack D is legit...

Last night was the one time this year I would root for the Eagles.

I was quite happy at the end lol!

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

My top 5 in nfc (no order)

Eagles
Detroit
Bucs
Rams
Packers/Seattle (tie for now)

We have 4 remaining games against that set too - yikes!

I think I'd rank them...

Rams
Seattle
Detroit
Philly

Then the Packers, Bucs, Vikings, Bears, 49ers in an orderless jumble of inconsistency. Any of those teams can get healthy, figure it out and play well down the stretch...and any of them can just disappear from relevance.

the Packers lost their left guard last night to IR, they lost their best run blocking lineman and a really solid tight end in Kraft last week .

The week before that they lost 2 linebackers

They've lost 4 starters in the last month...

So? At least they had them available till last month  and their QB and back up QB,  Center and starters at other critical positions have been healthy. Plus they did not have to manage some of these injuries while playing two games abroad.
From Google….


  • J.J. McCarthy (QB): missed 5 games
  • Josh Oliver (TE): Out with a concussion, placed on injured reserve.
  • Jeff Okudah (CB): Placed on injured reserve after suffering a concussion.
  • Christian Darrisaw (OT): Dealing with a knee injury (ACL and MCL) and has been in and out of the lineup. Missed two games
  • Aaron Jones (RB): Was on injured reserve with a hamstring injury but has returned to play.Missed four games.
  • Blake Cashman (LB): Was on injured reserve with a hamstring injury but has returned to play. Missed four games
  • Ryan Kelly (C): Placed on injured reserve after suffering a concussion 
  • Carson Wentz (QB): Suffered a season-ending shoulder injury and underwent surgery.

You can add Harrison Smith to that list.
My point, injuries are part of the game. Last I checked they are still 5-3.

I have a feeling that Flores will be well prepared for Darnold and we win that game. That might be the game that people see Darnold regress to the means. Also, I think you have to have the Bucs up there.

I thought it was their center.

OL Elgton Jenkins suffered a broken bone in his leg in Monday's loss to Philadelphia and is out indefinitely, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported. The Packers later placed Jenkins on injured reserve. Sean Rhyan filled in for Jenkins at center after his departure.
