IT’S ONLY WEEK 3

Sinner · 09-25-2023, 08:25 PM

And I already have to be a Philly Fan on Monday Night, and I already have to do some hallucinogenic calculations on who has to win and who has to lose, in order for my Saints to make the Playoffs… “PLAYOFFS?!? PLAYOFFS?!? ARE YOU KIDDIN ME?!?” because our front office couldn’t put together a winning coaching staff and team in the last two years. So… Please Philly… Please play championship football tonight and beat the Bucs! Please!!!

Watching the game as well … Philly is taking them apart with the run game, the passing game, special teams and the defense.

Might not be 70-20 but look like butt whipping for sure.

I would worry less about making the playoffs and more about this being a preview of how whichever team wins the NFC South looks in the playoffs.

The Bucs are hard to gauge at this point because after this game they will have only beat winless teams and only lost to undefeated teams. Minnesota seemed like a quality win but is now 0-3. So all we know about the Bucs is they are somewhere in between perfect and hopeless. We have won and lost against mediocre teams so we are looking like middle of the road, but next week will tell a lot about whether the Bucs are above or below average.

Baker Mayfield ain’t it.

But then again, Philly is a well coached team.

It’s super early however Philly will be hard to beat in January.

And that QB sneak on 3rd and short is damn near unstoppable.

Don’t worry. I don’t think we’ll be playing past the first week in January when we play the Falcons. Lol

That’s funny and sad at the same time. I hope I make it that far without too many aneurysms

Never noticed before but Hurst hesitated on one scrum allowing 1 maybe 2 players to holding him up in a type of hug as they were being pushed thru the line.

Is any other team using this scrum play?

Eagles are the only team I've seen do this consistently with any success.

I've read that Sean Payton was trying to implement that this season but his team is total trash.

I have not seen any team so far K … I know the owner voted on this off-season to allow it but not sure if voted on it again it will hold up.

Sean Payton’s rant on Hackett during the summer might have some “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” reality check this week … ya think.

God Bless him forever grateful … Never the shrinking violet type.
