I think the Steelers and Ravens are both better than Philly. No reason we can't go toe to toe with them.

Nonsense to the “handily” part. Should be a good game.

Unless Barkley runs right through our sieve-like rush D, like he did playing for shitty Giants offenses.

Our Offense will keep us in any game. Let JD run tonight early. Gotta make the Birds respect that possibility.

His lanes should be more open than they were vs. the Steelers. But what I was talking about is that the Eagles can blow up offensively, and I bet we don't score 40 tonight.

Coleman, Wylie and Lucas all questionable

That would be pretty gnarly if they were all out.. damn

The loss to the Steelers didn't bother me at all. We played hard and hung in the game against a very good opponent - a playoffs team IMO. The Eagles are just as good, if not better, as the Steelers. So as long as we compete hard against the Eagles, a loss to them won't bother me much either.

But a win would be a thrill! If we could split these two games it would be very satisfying to double our win total of last season as we march to the playoffs.

Why do you think the Eagles are as good as or better than the Steelers?

I'll go ahead and give my answer. The Eagles were one of the most talented rosters in the league last year and that has not changed. I'm not a big Hurts guy but he is in a fansatic situation. Their weakness which was exposed in the playoffs was in the secondary. The rookie corners I have heard are playing well so that's no longer the case.

Yes they lost some people but they also added probably the most explosive back in league who can change a game in one play. I think we will struggle to contain all these weapons and if the Commanders are down 2-3 tackles well that spells disaster.

Eagles biggest weakness could be their coach

But agree

Washington has a way of "dogging it" to victory. You can never count them out because they always play like they have the desire (like some Skins teams of old). The biggest concern to me is how injured Daniels may still be.

Yes. He was not himself at Philly. We need the JD that we saw at Cincy and at Arizona. That is the real JD.

Primarily because they have a star-studded offense that can put up big numbers.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Their offense is still great, but their defense is no Steelers. Until proven otherwise, we will continue to put up points. I imagine we won't have crappy drops and shitty calls every game either, so I think this will be a high scoring, exciting game.

Our defense has steadily improved each game, especially against the run, but we seem to get beaten by a single player (I feel like that's been our issue for the past 20 years). If Brown or Barkley go off, we lose. If we hold them to something reasonable, I think we win a close one.
