They are 12-20 (.375) without him.
It's actually 12-21 (.364) without him. I have rarely seen a guy so good not get all the accolades he deserves. And to make it better, the right guard they have is the weakest link on the line. I mean the guy is good (Semaulo) but not Johnson/Kelce/Dickerson level. Johnson covered up his miscues. Anyone notice how our defense got pressure at the end of the game when he wasn't in?

I remember really hoping that somehow we could draft him.

I think his lack of accolades is due to his suspension history for PEDs.

Probably true. Too bad, since the "PED's" he took were not the type associated with muscle growth. It was more for healing/recovery. But rules are rules, and we don't get any breaks, so too bad for him. That injury he has now though can be quite painful.

I'll enjoy the pain of the Eagles as their bid for a championship fades away over the next few weeks.

One doc on Twitter called it a sports hernia. Possibly requiring off-season surgery. Said it depends on rest and pain management for return in playoffs. Even if he does play, he might not be very effective.

If Hurts and Johnson are out we can still win the division. Just takes 2 wins and they have 2 losses, not impossible.
