In regards to 1st round drafting history, I just can't ever forget that Jon Harris pick in the first round at the 1997 draft. It was unfathomable to everyone even at the moment the pick was announced.

For those wondering what I think: WFT will not win this weekend. Buffalo exposed a lot of WFT weaknesses, not a good team.

While living near Baltimore back in the day when the Colts were still there, I knew this guy who on, Game day was the liaison between the Colts Drs and TV relative to reporting injuries
I asked him about so n so as a draft pick ( OL)
From U of MD. He said I don’t like him, ACC. I want my OL from the SEC, they are much tougher. That always stuck w me. I think he’s right (certain B1G teams would qualify)

WFT has some strengths that could cause some troubles for the Eagles. That said, it seems that WFT's biggest weakness is its OL. When you contrast that with the Birds' strength on the DL, it does seem that WFT will have a tough time beating the Birds.

I'm going to the game, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Don’t get too analytical, just enjoy the blowout

Yup. Howie just needed to stop trying to be the smartest guy in the room and overthink things, and just draft best available, which is exactly to your point.

I think the redskins biggest strengths play into the eagles biggest strength. Instead of trying to pass all over a great pass rush team, just run the ball right at them. I see another big day for the eagles running game.

and poor Sam Howell... I can see Reddick getting on track this weekend, especially since he got his cast off his hand.

Howell handled pressure very poorly last Sunday. He’s basically Babe Laufenberg, big heart, big confidence, at best a B- NFL quarterback.

Good article. “McLaurin, Samuel, and Dotson didn’t suddenly forget how to get themselves open.” Dotson has been targeted 15 times in four games.

Are the Commanders wide receivers getting open consistently?

Through three games this season, Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson has 10 receptions for 83 yards on 15 targets. This is in Washington's pass-heavy offense in the first three weeks. Remember how Dotson was everyone's favorite…

Just wanted to remind everyone that I watched my first-of-the-season NFL game only last week.

Good news. I can’t wait to see what the DL does with yet another fastball thrown at opposing QBs.

These are the problems in having so many stars on offense. Everyone needs to get his. Now with Swift and the running game, there’s another mouth to feed.

Goedert will be fine. He just might not have that 1,000 yard season in 2023.

 

[WestSideLion]

How about a 3 sack game in LA?!

 

[s1uggo72]

nothing that playing the giants wont cure!!

The fact they are signing Roby says they don’t think anyone on the roster can do the job. I’d say that bodes well for him taking the job!

Howell really brought it on Sunday, the mistakes he made ended up not hurting the team. (For example, the almost intercepted deflected pass in the end zone.) Washington’s lack of mistakes kept them in the game. Don’t over think the Eagles. They’re 4-0 and they’ll fix their weaknesses. They will get better, sharper, more confident. You’ll be 12-5 at the very worst, 15-2 possible. This is a good team that knows how to win.

I’ll settle for the average in your range: 14-3.

Sure. You never know what might happen. The Eagles did come this close to winning it all.
