NFL - Random Opinions

They would need 8 wins off of their remaining 11 games to hit 11 wins, which only makes room for 3 losses.

Out of curiosity, where would you place those wins out of the remaining schedule?

absolutely true, i forgot about them Dan my bad.

 

buffalo, chi, sea, mia, nyg, wash, dallas-home, and maybe minnesota.

losses are ne, dallas - away and minny - maybe.

 

Buffalo will beat Philadelphia because the Bills are better than the Eagles.

 

haha. care to wager on that ?

 

Uh-oh. Grabs whiskey and ducks behind the bar...

 

Seattle has been known to give you guys fits. AND they're going to be coming off a bye when they play you.

Think you're overlooking Buffalo a smidge, too.

 

so they are 4-1. Their wins were against some bad teams. They barely beat NY, which the Eagles just destroyed. Wentz is better than Allen. Frank Gore is as old as hell and their other RB is banged up. I like the Eagles RBs as a committee. Ertz is a better TE than the two they use. Plus Eagles have Goddard. The Eagles def line better. Their O line is solid. Oh and they haven’t had their 2 best WRs in weeks. They will be back for the Buffalo game. Hmm. I like their WRs.

Now Jax’s owner wants to trade Ramsey. If and I do mean if the Eagles get him, what will Allen do?

how is Buffalo better? How am I overlooking them? The game is in Buffalo, but it’s not December yet, so it won’t be 12 degrees there and piles of snow on the ground. I don’t see it as a windy mess like the games in December are when it’s freezing and blustery. I think people are sleeping on the Eagles after 2 bad losses.

the only thing Buffalo has is the game is in Buffalo. Bring the wings. If the game was in Philly, it’s a win. I still think they get the win.

Axe— to be honest I’m more worried about Dallas at home and away than I am about the Bills. Hell Seattle and NE home is no picnic. Back to big D-Dallas is far superior and can easily sweep the Eagles home and Away. Very good chance that happens. They are a huge threat. I don’t think Buffalo is. Sorry.

 

Right now, the Vikings stand in the way. They are improving and really like playing at home.

 

So far my preseason prediction on the Eagles is hoping up but their loss to the Lions was my "and another random loss somewhere" so they are close to falling off my predicted pace. I don't think I predicted another loss until Dallas, which was just listed as "one vs Dallas" and not a specific game if I'm not mistaken.

 

FYI:

The Bills opponents' winning percentage (in games not involving the Bill's) is 8-11-0 (0.421).

The Eagles opponents' winning percentage (in games not involving the Eagles) is 5-12-1 (0.306).

 

Will - Can Kirk Cousins stand tall against the Eagles d-line? Good question. Will Cook and Diggs go off? I’m worried about them. Should be a great game. Remember the last time the Eagles played at the Vikings stadium? Hmm. I think I saw confetti.

 

thanks Lyman for chiming in. Jets, Bengals, Tennessee and Miami aren’t that great. Regardless of that stat you posted. Don’t get me wrong Washington and NY stink. No big deal about those wins. GB on the road is better than any Bills win this year. The Eagles losses at home is what is killing them. Both were winnable games and they had to the ball at the end to win. Buffalo lost time the team they should’ve lost too. Many teams lose to NE. It’s why they’re NE!!!

 

Bills D is elite, Josh Allen just doesnt do it for me. He makes such bad reads and misses wide open receivers way too often.
Philly game will be a good one.

 

It's my understanding that there are 4 or 5 guys in a room trying to make a schedule work.

There's no conspiracy going on here.

There's the NFL schedule that must be followed.

Then after that. Availability of the stadiums.

It takes them a while to figure all that out.

I don't want that job.

 

Why not? He and the offense cant suck all the time. Maybe with Zac Brown shooting off his mouth the Vikings will make him eat those words.

That was then, this is now.

Whats interesting to me is the Vikings top-ranked run game vs the Eagles top-ranked run defense... this might decide the game. The Eagles really want to stop the run game first and force Cousins to throw. I think this plays well into the Vikings game plan. I look for big things from Minnesota offensively.

 

Maybe they should get a PC?

 

They probably sit in a pub and scrawl it out on a bunch of cocktail napkins.

All in all, they do a good job.

 

At some point, Byron Leftwich is going to get a crack at a head coaching gig.
