Cut from the team?
A lesser man perhaps. Not Kenneth Gainwell.

I don't love how our secondary has been playing the last few games relative to going up against a red hot AJ Brown, but Hurts being a bit hobbled and not as much of a threat to run should help. More than anything I think this game will come down to what sort of gameplan Quinn can put together because I don't think we're going to whip their OL with our pass rush straight up like we do most teams, but we have the horses to get there situationally with twists/stunts, simulated pressures, delayed blitzers and so forth. You can't go to that well 20 times a game, but if Quinn can dial it up situationally when it's needed 5-8 times a game, we'll be in business.
The Eagles passing game is very basic overall because they've spent the better part of 2 years leaning on their OL and Hurts as a runner. It's mostly just a bunch of rub routes combined with a heavy focus on Brown on lots of in-breaking routes (slants, posts, digs/in's) with a handful of 50/50 prayer balls thrown up when it's single coverage. Quinn has to be able to warp their tendencies there by mixing up coverages and making Hurts hold onto the ball a bit longer than he should.
This is a game where I think we'll miss the size/length of Diggs, but Quinn and the staff knows damn good and well exactly what the Eagles want to do, but we're going to need a very nuanced, disciplined gameplan, particularly in the secondary.
Should be a tossup as long as we don't kill ourselves with penalties and turnovers, but I fear that it'll be a narrow loss primarily due to their OL being more cohesive (better coached obviously), of course with a few critical 4th and 1 conversions thrown in thanks to their bastardized bullshit QB sneak.
I feel like a win in this spot would be way bigger than a loss though given that it's on the road and the tiebreaker implications. At the moment I think we probably have a 40% or so chance of winning the division, if we win I feel like that'd jump to at least 75% (with HFA thrown in potentially), whereas a loss would barely drop our current chances at all.

Plenty of time to get hurt again.

Can you imagine how much bullshit will be flowing from this guy's mouth if we ever manage to make the Super Bowl again during his lifetime?
Two weeks between the NFCC and the Super Bowl?
It'd be around the clock nonsense.

Again, there is nothing terribly wrong losing this game.
What would be wrong would be for the offense to take a step backwards.
Our goal is to improve and finish the regular season making the playoffs, winning the division, winning HFA in that order.
This game is more important than the 49ers game was, but a loss is not season-ending.
Frankly we are the toughest opponent the Eagles have faced and Dak has scored 40+ on them every game since 2021
