There's no way any team can back all the way into a Super Bowl. It seems every week some of us jump up-and-down about an injured player on the team that we're facing as if we couldn't win without it

You won't catch me doing it. If we can't beat a team at full strength, we don't deserve to win.

It’s a long season...

We started 3-5 last year and looked hopeless and then we finished 7-1.

We look like a machine right now but it’s September and some of these other teams will find their way.

Yep.... plus injuries.

Sure, but the overall point is QB play in the NFC is really poor right now. Brees is hurt, Goff and Trubisky appear to have regressed, Wentz isn’t playing well and is already banged up, Ryan appears past his prime and Cam is done. It’s basically Wilson, Rodgers and Dak and then a big gap right now. And in the NFL, good QBs playing well almost always beat teams with poor QB play.

And even Rodgers looks ROUGH this year so far.

Great start sure, but it’s a long season. Let’s hope our oline stays healthy enough to protect Dak all year.

...pump the breaks my friend. Plenty of football left. Good start, though.

Gallup is having an MRI on his knee. Easy on saying other teams injuries are good news

Woods left with an injury also.

Where did it come from Brees will be out that long?
I been watching all the local post game stuff I recorded on the Cowboys game, have not watched ESPN or NFLN yet.

There's nothing official, but I believe Brees has said he thinks something is wrong and that he's never had this much of an issue trying to grip a football.

Does this mean Garrett will be around for another decade?

Buzz killer.

Well he is staying in LA to see a specialist tomorrow. I did hear that.

Yeah.... Mehhh. Too early to get out the party poppers. BUT we can all still get drunk every weekend. That's a win.

This post brought a tear to my eye.

You are a hero sir.

The Skins top RB and DT were out and their DBs were banged up. They could be much better as the season progresses.

The Cowboys need to start better once they face better teams.

That defense the skins put out there on Sunday, was just a shadow of their starting lineup. If they get healthy they are better than Philly DL IMO. They have some studs we are going to have to deal with in the future.

We ain't won nuttin yet
But we ain't lost nuttin eider

Charlie Weis commented on NFL Radio this morning that Phil Simms had the same injury that Brees has in 1990 and he was done.

I won't be shocked if I see Drew on IR this week.

Drew Brees will be out anywhere from 6 weeks to the rest of the season

Mitchell Trubisky has regressed

Kirk Cousins is worse than ever

Philly has the look of a team that is going to be snakebit by injuries again

The Commanders and the Giants won’t win more than 8 games combined

Our schedule suddenly looks incredibly manageable. We will most likely be favored in each of our first ten games leading up to NE, and after that we get Buffalo at home. Get past Green Bay and Philly (both at home) and we’re staring 11-1 in the face heading into the stretch.

I wouldn't assume that about the Commanders. I think they're going to be a lot better than that. The Giants look awful, but who knows what will happen -- maybe they can gel and get better.

I'm excited, I really am.
But we've played 2 lousy teams so far.

We took care of them in a manner in digging - no jacking around, score at will then relax. I don’t like the way we can’t put them away because of the stupid prevent. Just do what you did all game to get the 31-10 or 35-14 lead. If our D comes around in a couple games then look out.

Beat the team in front of you then move on to the next one. Any other talk is stupid bullcrap.
