This is incorrect. Diggs should only have two since Romo said so.

Yea, this is why I'd give up a 1 for Derrick Brown.29 sacks!
That's just preposterous.
If we keep Philly from running the ball effectively, they essentially have no chance to beat us.
Since we're not going to be trading for anyone, I'm hoping Quinn can scheme something up to at least improve that aspect of the defense.

Yea that's +2 a game, which would be +32 over 16 games and +34 over 17 games.
Over the last 15 years the best turnover differential in any given season was +28, although on average the league leader in that time is only about +15-17.
So yea, just more proof that the Eagles so far are a complete outlier and their success is reliant on multiple aspects of the game that are completely unsustainable (i.e. the turnover differential, the QB averaging about 12 rushes a game).

I think they misprinted Dorance Armstrong in place of Randy Gregory. Just gotta be, because Gregory is great.

Sturm mentioned this in his article yesterday as well. At a minimum he should be credited with an additional half sack.

The Giants who we beat in their own house with a backup QB are better huh?

I think the Giants are literally the worst 6-1 team ever.
Lost to a backup QB at home, needed all sorts of luck to beat the Ravens and Titans, and even the Panthers (at home), should probably be 4-3 at best if not 3-4.
It's fine though, let the hype build, they're an exceedingly average team.

I halfway watched that Jags game while ours was on, and yes, the Giants had to get lucky to barely win that game.
They may be solid which is up a level from bad, but they're not that good either.

Their defense is decent, Barkley is healthy and motivated, and the coaches have the team as a whole dialed in and playing disciplined ball. That's about all it takes nowadays in the NFL to be .500, mix in some luck, health and a weak schedule and here you are.
But there is no chance they can win 3 playoff games in a row to make it to the Super Bowl unless they have a historic run of luck, and even then they'd lose by literally 20-30 against the Bills/Chiefs.
The OL is mostly atrocious, the WR's are some of the worst in the league and Jones is basically just a dink/dunk QB throwing screens/rub concepts and running 10 times a game.
The biggest threat on their roster is the DL with Leonard Williams, Dexter Lawrence, Ojulari when he's healthy and Thibodeaux starting to flash some.
