We're gonna get the best of every team, week in and week out til our season ends, whenever that may be (hopefully later rather than sooner). I just hope we can handle it

Hey now that the Giants won a game, it makes Philly’s win over them ever better.
I don’t really care much for rankings, but if I had to rank them I would put them in the 4-6 range. They are good, but do have some glaring holes. Then again, it seems like every team does at this point.
Assuming you have a talented enough roster, it’s all about staying healthy and having depth.

Yup, I've been impressed with how deep our team is so far. Just hope we don't suffer any devastating injuries. We're relatively young, we're hungry, we're playing great -- just gotta sustain this early momentum and sky's the limit.

You mean suffer any more devastating injuries!
Sproles and Darby were pretty tough losses. Plus Cox gone for two games. Man, I was walking on eggshells....still am!
Tough Washington team a week from tonight. They should be without Norman which will help.

I hope TY Hilton is a wild man tonight.

Yeah Darby was a blow but we've somehow managed to hold our own in spite of him. Things should only get better once he's back. I'm gonna miss Sproles, but even with him, our RBs were decidedly... decent. Not great at all, or even very good. Blount's started showing up since Sproles went out, so there's a silver lining there. Looks like we learned our lesson from last season when Lane Johnson went out and we suddenly nosedived. With all the injuries happening to other teams, we've gotten off relatively easy so far.

To bad Smallwood will return to the starting RB role for next season when hes back next week

Detroit goes into a bye week. Not bad, our players need the rest and get healthy again so good timing.

3-3 and next game is 10/29 against Pittsburgh.

Hope you beat the suddenly resurgent Steelers at least, Minnesota might start to pull away if you don't.

I think we can get them. But we have to stop Bell.

Brown against Slay would terrify me

I still question the running game going forward. Kelce is pretty small for a center which is great for the passing game, but not good in the running game. I like Kelce but this might be his last season as Center.
After this week, with TWO 13pt road dogs(NYG and Miami) winning outright, I’ve given up trying to predict the NFL. It’s just not possible!

Safety first meanwhile players drop like flies.

also of note stupid writers probably a packer fan calling for a rule change now to make hitting the QB illegal once the ball leaves his hand...

QB's are protected enough.

They make the decision to hold the ball an extra second and take the hit or throw the ball sooner and not get hit. Rodgers gambled and he lost.

Would be a very different story if it were just one game, maybe two....but four straight games!! C’mon man!

Zero sacks! Tom was nice and safe there was a no fly zone around his knees and ankles.

Everyone says the pats have no pash rush I didn’t realize how bad the jets pass rush was 7 sacks in 6 games.
