It’s easy now and easy later. We are currently the only team in the NFL to be favored in every single remaining game:



The Eagles still have to prove that they can sustain what they are doing in November and December. And also has to show that they won't let all of the praise they are receiving get to their heads, to the point where they believe all they need to do is show up to a game and win, just because some analysts or NFL media people are saying that they are favored in every game or has a easy schedule.

Predicting the over under on games months out is little different to predicting the quality of the schedule that far off. You’re just putting a number to it
September football means nothing.

If it did, the Cowboys would have won 10 more Super Bowls by now.

Lines for games two months from now is beyond the depths of stupid.

Yes, espcially when the NFL has teams every season which starts off hot, but falls off of the map in November and December. Or which starts off slow but finishes strong in November and December. And also had teams who may not have made the playoffs the season before, become playoff contenders by the end up the following season.

Yet the first page is flooded with threads about how good the pass rush was against 3 of the worst Olines in football. It definitely means something to them.

Dak is setting his sights upon returning to duty for week five, versus the Rams!!

He's, evidently, planning on passing a stiff test with that contest. Good luck! o_O
If there one game that may be correctly seen as ambitious, that's the one! :omg:

Thought it was Oct 16th vs Eagles? Must be moving up the timetable. Wonder why? Might be he's worried that if Rush beats the Commanders and Rams and goes 4-0 with 2 wins against both of last year's super bowl squads, he probably won't be playing the Eagles either.

I'm assuming he thinks he'll be fully ready to remove Rush from the picture and take back his starting spot, before it's too late. He likely knows Jerry well enough to think he's about ready to start seriously considering Rush as a starter, if he took on the Rams and won. Can't say as I blame him. ;)

Being able to enjoy the moment isn't about needing a safe space. It's about stopping to smell the flowers. Enjoying the moment. You couldn't even do that for a day.

I'm able to "enjoy the moment" and look ahead. I don't need to wrap myself in any protective cocoon of positivity.

We better find a lot more offense against the Rams and Philly because the defense isn’t going to hold up all season. I’m convinced we’re going to get our butts handed to us in both games if we don’t find more offense. Plus we can’t keep shooting ourselves in the foot negating good plays with penalties.

I know everybody's excited and looking to buy playoff tickets right now but you better beat the Wentzes on Sunday with those two next on deck.

And that will be a bit of a desperate team after losing their last two.

You combine that with the return of Prescott (we're merely in remission now) and things might not be so jovial around here in a few weeks.

I know. I'm just saying.

Cowboys!
QB containment HAS to be addressed before they play the Eagles.

We will be destroyed until we figure out LVE needs to be removed and if not another Linebacker (i would look in free agency and practice squads) put in one of our safeties who will play the run better. Mark my words, we will be destroyed by the run by both teams and LVE will be the main reason.

And this is the Eagles offense which is on paper suppose to be so much more talented and better than the Cowboys offense is. So is this a case of defenses starting to figure out the Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense, which is why we saw them shut out in the 2nd half in the last two weeks, even though they got off to a hot start against the Vikings and Commanders?
