    Disagree on Seattle, Thanny, and I promise it's not because I'm salty. They're firmly in the good-not-elite category.

    NFC still comes down to the 49ers/Saints/Packers.

    Are the Saints more vulnerable than we think because of their defense?

    Is the Patriots offense good enough to win in January?

    Are there any good teams besides SF and BAL?

    Should we cancel the league?

    Watched El Camino last night. As an epilogue to Breaking Bad, it was absolutely perfect. Loved it.

     

    MAJOR SPOILERS DO NOT CLICK

    I was worried they would overdo the cameos for the sake of fan service, but I think they nailed every single one. Opening scene with Mike, later scene with Walt, Old Joe, Jane. Check, check, check, check.

    They will impeach him, but McConnell probably won't even let it go to trial in the Senate. If he does, it'll be because there's zero chance they get a supermajority vote to remove from office, and he will try to market it as a defeat for Democrats before the general election.

    And re: the poll F4E posted, I'm really glad to see Yang surging. Need more discussion with him. Need more talk about UBI. Not saying I support it or don't, but we need to have conversations about it.

    Didn't get to watch the bulk of the game but that pass at the end has to be caught. Seemed like they aren't playing too terribly. Like they look like a playoff team :shrug:

     

    Just way too many unforced errors was the issue with Detroit, but the roster has its share of problems.

    • No WRs/TEs/ who can create separation outside of Ertz and Desean.
    • DL has not gotten pressure on opposing QB
    • Secondary is dreadful outside of Jenkins

    Could get back on track Thursday against the Packers. Only thing that’s really blistered the defense has been slow methodical check downs and screens . Dink and dunk.... all the time. Eagles offense might benefit from slowing down some and just execute at a high level. 

     

    The problem is none of our (healthy) receivers can create separation. So that sounds like a good idea if the Packers are playing zone coverage. But if they're playing man, we are going to struggle. Plus, you've got the whole road game on a Thursday thing. Stars are not aligning for the Eagles.

    It's totally fair to be skeptical about the Eagles. If we avoid major injury I'm still confident they'll have a great year, but they have yet to hit their stride. Dallas has looked great, albeit against bad teams.

    • Lamar Jackson is really good.
    • Pat Mahomes is decent.
    • The NFC South is a bit of a mess. With Brees hurt, it's a division full of mediocrity.
    • Kyler Murray is fun to watch. Everyone who instantly labeled him a bust (myself included) is backing off, and rightfully so.
    • The Patriots are going 16-0, aren't they?
    • The Dolphins are going 0-16, aren't they?
    • Eagles need to stop with the slow starts, but they also need to stop with the injuries.
    • The Packers are an elite team again, I think.

    Just happened to be pondering this with the Eagles, thought I'd throw it out there for everyone. It's fun to think about.

    :Eagles:

    Stone cold locks: Jason Peters, Lane Johnson, Zach Ertz, Fletcher Cox

    Looking good, but not a lock: Jason Kelce, Brandon Graham

    On track, but still young: Carson Wentz

    Possible, but probably not: Malcolm Jenkins

    After a bad first three quarters, Kyler Murray sure looked like the real deal.

    Man, the Dolphins are going to be bad this season, aren't they? I think 0-16 is plausible at this point.

    Chiefs and Patriots picking up where they left off.

    Feel so bad for Nick Foles.

    Dak Prescott contract in 3...2...

    Don't know what the Eagles were doing in the first half but they woke up and looked great in the second half.

    I think Dan Quinn is maybe on the hot seat. The Falcons have been an average team since losing SB51.

    I remember that the NFL tried that back in 1993 but the players found it too disrupting for their routines and the league reverted back to 17. I think the same thing would happen here.

    I respectfully disagree. It failed in 1993 for two main reasons: 1) bye weeks scheduled too closely together, and 2) more byes mean fewer games, so fans were getting stuck with bad games on TV.

    Problem #1 can be fixed by the schedule-makers, I have no doubt.

    Problem #2 is eased by fixing problem #1, but it's mostly solved by the huge wild card that wasn't available in 1993: RedZone. I don't think fans would be stuck in the same situation.

    WIth CBA negotiations supposedly underway, it seems like the idea of an 18-game schedule is gaining steam. So, what say you, TGP?

    Personally, I've had an idea in my head for a while that I think is a nice compromise that keeps everyone happy. It is: a 16-game, 18-week schedule where each team gets two bye weeks. Players win because the extra bye week gives added rest and should, in theory, help with injuries. Owners win because an extra weekend of football means more money (this is a win for players also). Fans win because it's an extra Sunday of football.

    Discuss!

    :Eagles:

    MVP: Carson Wentz. Duh.

    OPOY: Carson Wentz. Duh. The Eagles have too many weapons on offense, so no one person (at a skill position) will have an astronomical year statistically.

    DPOY: Fletcher Cox. A few other options, but Cox is the clear favorite.

    CBPOY: Darren Sproles. Not really any contenders here.

    OROY: Miles Sanders. Duh.

    DROY: Shareef Miller. He was our only draft pick on defense. :yao:
