NFC East matchups mean diddly squat

Washington is formidable. Seems they may have gotten the AB position right as well as the O coordinator. The season is young though. If it continues, they will ultimately be held back by their O line in my opinion.

Here's what we know from that game:
1. Washington should be taken seriously. They're a capable team.
2. Philly ain't invincible!
3. Washington has provided the blueprint for beating the Eagles. It involves grinding it out on the ground and playing good defense.
There doesn't seem to be any juggernaut this year.

Philly keeps winning....but in ugly fashion.

We lose to Arizona

Cincy is floundering....KC needed the refs to escape losing to the Jets and being 2-2

I just will never consider S.F. as a powerhouse with that noodle arm Mr Irrelevant at QB, he's like a weak armed Kirk Cousins and when he faced a tough D on Philly last year he was physically beaten up like a weak little runt.

Feels like one of those years where it will just depend on who gets hot in Dec/Jan

You’re not telling me anything I didn’t already know. I WILL say “y’all” is a currently trendy and overused expression, and as such is annoying to lots of people. Ask around.
As I stated before, people using whatever terms, whether they grew up with them, or because they're "trendy" /overused as you state----none of it bothers or irritates me.

Say what you want about Philly...but they grind games out, don't make any huge mistakes, and ultimately take care of business. SF does the same thing, on a grander scale.

We could roll everyone—go 17-0, and win each game by more than 3 TD’s—but if we lost the Super Bowl at 59:57 of the fourth quarter by one point, an epic wave of snark would fly from the screaming masses of moronic haters, giddy about the “demise” of the Evil Empire.

The Commanders quarterback Sam Howell is pretty good and is getting better and better with each start.

Our point differential is +83 with a record of 3-1 while Philly is 4-0 with a point differential of +28. That's crazy.

But do I think that means we're better than Philly? Not really.

I merely mention it for what it is—annoying and overused. Just because I mention it doesn’t mean it’s life-changing. Just an opinion held by a lot of people. The Heinz commercial is annoying, and I might even mention it in a casual smartassy conversation, but it has no impact on my daily life.

1. Going 17-0 at this point would be the most amazing feat of all time.

2. I think maybe other people aren't constantly thinking about us, wondering what we're up to and what we're thinking, as much as we like to think they are.

It's a bit narcissistic

Howell looked like a vet at QB.

That blueprint ain’t much of a blueprint lol. Grind it out and play good defense lol. That’s everyone.

I can’t stand Philly but this is them. They did it last year. They faced certain teams like the Colts and should’ve lost but didn’t. Philly has a great offensive line that allows them to stay in games and pull it out at the end even when they struggle.

Commanders are 2-2. They are a 2-2 team. They have a stout defensive line. Davis their linebacker looks like a stud. Offensively they have good players. Howell has looked good despite the Bills mess. It’s too early to tell how good they can be but Philly playing down to competition is them.
Philly is a very good team. Good teams find a way to win when not playing their best. I was surprised that River Boat Ron did not go for the 4th and 5 in OT. Everyone knew if Philly got ball back, game over. That Philly O line is the best in football. Hurts has all day to throw most of the time. We let ours get old.
