5 seems like a big number for this game.

It may come down but it's a home game for them, they are pretty much at full strength other than Mailata in terms of their best players and we are down Tyron Smith, Dak Prescott. They are 5-0 and we are 4-1.

I can see the logic behind the line. Although in some books, I have now seen it dip to 4.5...............

If our pass rush is humming, we have a chance. If their OL stones us, we are cooked. I don't see us scoring more than 20-24 points.
I can’t wait to see 11 against their OT’s… Johnson hasn’t given up a sack in a long time.

I've been to

I've been to Lincoln Financial Field. Fair to say its filthy. It looked like a heavy metal concert just finished up. Trash, food on the ground, drunks, loud idiots screaming for hours,....just not a pleasant game experience. God forbid you wear an opponents jersey. Verbal attacks on me, my kids, my wife, my mom, my dog etc ...will NEVER go back.
I’ve been there for two Cowboys Eagles games… I thought it was a good stadium. I had no issues there, and I was wearing a Cowboys jersey. It’s always seemed to me that if you don’t want trouble, and don’t look for it, you won’t find it

They’re down their slot corner Maddox, and Kelsey/Dickerson have missed snaps recently due to leg issues. their kicker missed last week as well. Actually everyone on their ol except for Lane Johnson have been battling injuries lately

It’s a very different atmosphere compared to the Vet. I saw some things in the 700 level that reminded me of Escape From New York.

Good. Music to the ears. They can heal later.

We’re not even a quarter way through the season. I could see if we were halfway and you were thinking this.

The way they’re playing if we get more than two games down to them we’re unlikely to catch them. They’ll be in the driver seat and we still have plenty of tough games ahead. They’re a complete football team that could end up winning 13+ games this season.

Good. Let them be favored. Let Philly nation get all hyped up all week. It only hurts them more.

Mailata is the one to watch. His backup, Driscoll had his issues yesterday. Mailata is dealing with a shoulder injury so even if he plays, he might not be full strength. A sore/weakened shoulder might not be the best thing when Parsons is screaming off the edge at you.

Maddox isn't a star player. He's not that big a loss. And Dickerson and Kelce both came back and played in the game yesterday. The only OL who is likely a big question is Mailata at this point.

I've been having this sick fantasy of Kellen Moore purposely holding back the passing game these last 4 weeks just to unleash the Rush Beast on the Eagles.

Maddox is one of the better slot corners. Those ol injuries could def effect performance or knock them out for a series or two. Kielce missed a series on Sunday and Dickerson missed most (64%)of the game.

Yea. All I can find on his injury is that he “dodged a bullet” and is day to day.

This is going to be a critical game for us because if Philly wins they’ll be two games up, holding a tie breaker which will leave us with little room for error. If we get down by three games to them we’ll be playing for a wildcard.

I we lose, we will be two games back with 11 to play including a rematch in Dallas.

So it wont be catastrophic if we lose, but it will make the rematch a must win game for any chance of division title.
