Great time to FINALLY stop the run Vikings.

not really,

and if they had gone twice for 2 point conversions, they would be up 3 .

If they went for a 2 and failed....it would be a 7 point lead lol.....it makes no sense.

Two extra days to get ready for Tampa Bay. The Eagles have a guardian angel.

right ... whatever .

& if they failed to make TDs , they would be 34-0

so that makes sense. not trying.

Just noticed my fantasy opponent this week has Swift.

Mine too.

 

[SackMaster]

The Refs DID NOT want to throw the flag on the False Start.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

7 seconds ...

hurts proving he's another overpaid qb

Two point conversions are a 50/50 proposition, historically. Make one/miss one and you're in the same place as 2 XPs.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

0-2 vikings.

Figures that the Eagles have played two games below their expected ability yet are 2-0 because the other teams were even sloppier.

If you are Vikings fan you gotta hate that loss. Eagles couldn't really stop you and you still lost because of sloppiness

Vikings 4 turnovers... lose by 1 score. the fumble-toucheback was a real killer.

Eagles 2-0 is all that matters,

but 5pt and 6pt wins... PHI may not be the juggernaut they were told they'd be

They won't always be able to run the ball like they did tonight against every defense.

Some defense is going to force Hurts to throw more.

If they have these games in which their offense starts off slow, they will run into a QB/offense who will take advantage of that and jump out on a lead against them. Forcing them to be one dimensional and the game put into Hurt's arms.

If anyone believes the Eagles are as good as last year I have some swamp land in Florida for you. The 49ers are the only team in our way.

 

[Redline360]

Like I previously said the Vikings will be lucky to sniff .500 or above. They had no right having that record last year. Cousins carried the hell out of the team.

Argurably one of the worst defenses in football, middle of the pack OL(way improved to what Cousins is used too though), lack of run game now. OL gave up 2nd most pressures last year

Cousins gets a lot of hate but he's a Dak level quarterback on a TERIBLE team. Gotta give him credit though he's a tough sob. Dude takes a beating every year

 

[Bagman]

It just goes to show the Dallas is gonna have to go 15-2 or 16-1 to win this division. Teams just DO NOT man up when they play the Eagles. That was a mistake filled, horrible effort by the Vikings. Expect ZERO help from the rest of the league. Yet some of these same teams will circle the wagons when Dallas comes to town.

That Jefferson fumble changed everything.

 

[KingCorcoran]

The eagles defense has given up back to back 300 yard performances

If you have to keep passing it’s because you’re losing. If you can afford to run the ball it’s because you’re winning. Philly has an extra two days to prepare for Tampa Bay. They aren’t even playing well and they’re 2-0. You can bet the house, the car, and the fondue set they’re about to be 3-0 with two road games behind them.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Eagles defense has given up 7 TDs and over 600 yards combined to Mac Jones and Kirk Cousins And have to rely on turnover to keep opposing offenses from constantly moving the ball on them and scoring.
