Marco hasn't been bad on counting numbers. Kind of like how everyone though Dre Kirkpatrick sucked but when I looked up his actual numbers he gave up like an 87 QB rating.

His numbers a superb. People just remembering a couple of plays vs the Raiders. I'm not saying he's been great, he's just quietly doing his job.

Jalen, Byron and Marco all have good passer ratings allowed. Everyone else from linebacker back, including Budda, has give up well over 100. CB3 is the biggest problem.

In checking this I just discovered that Slay and Bradberry are currently the best CB duo in the league. Both have passer ratings allowed below 25 (Insert crying smiley)

Speaking of emoji's, is there are update available for this forum? The choice is weak and they seem about 20 years old. Exhibit #1:hanson:

Conner has more fight and heart than anyone on the team. He is not the problem, the blocking is.

He's a great guy and gets the tough yards. The problem is when there is blocking he doesn't do much with it because he's both slow, and injured.

this game has the makings of a trap game for the Eagles

they have spent the week with media (justifiably) swooning over them

they travel across country, to a non-division game

against a team that has put out some pretty uninspiring film

with a giant divisional matchup coming next week

I really want to think that but...

At home. Our offense sucking. Multiple O line injuries. 4-0 Eagles. Doesn't bode well.

There is always a chance in football. It's a big game and maybe everyone rises to the occasion.

Da Hilg, Have you watched Jalen Hurts this year? You're giving zero credit to his ability to throw the rock. This isn't the Hurts of old. He's delivering the ball both from the pocket and on the run and has superb WR talent in Brown and Smith as well as Goedert who's also one of the top TE's in the game. Couple that with perhaps the best line in football and you can see why this game is prone to be a huge problem for us. In the Vikings game he had an 80% completion percentage, 300 yards passing and two rushing touchdowns in the game. Never been done before in HISTORY.
Let’s do put him in the hall after 4 games. We were 10-1 last year and where did that get us. He has played well for a very small sample size against not great teams. Before we call him Mahomes let’s see what happens. I’ll base it on the majority of his career and trust that we must let him beat us passing and contain the runs.

I don't think that takes into account his bad positioning and seeming lack of effort in getting into the play, though.
I mean how do you quantify that really?

At the end of the day, the number one thing you want from your corners is to stop the pass and Wilson has been surprisingly effective so far.

You want to see something ugly, look at the advanced stats for the Cardinals ILBs. All are terrible against the pass and are the primary reason for the Chiefs boat race, the Raiders getting a big lead, and the Rams loss.

Simmons is allowing over a 140 QB Rating. Collins is better, but not by much (120).

There's a history behind that emoji. You haven't been around long enough to know.

LOL at the tv map for these games.

You must be registered for see images attach
LOL at the Navajo Reservation getting the Cowboys game.... Fox knows their audience!

Cowboys even looked at building a training camp facility on the reservation by Flagstaff.... Navajos would've built out a casino and airport for it, apparently.

I wonder if all of the Wednesdays off is what's holding the offense back in the first quarter? Usually teams use Wednesday to install the game script and run the base plays that are in the game plan.

Thursdays are for situational play and goal line situations. Fridays and Saturdays are walkthrough/travel days.
