How long does Philly stick with Wentz before going back to Foles?

Again. You seem to not read what I write or struggle to understand it. I totally agree with all of that. Please show where I said otherwise. That is exactly what I'm saying Philly should be trying to do as it is what seems to work for them this year. It seems as if you are 100% in agreement with my point, yet you are arguing :noidea:

It was probably Wentz' best game of the year, outside of the Washington game, given the opposition and conditions. It still wasn't a great performance though. But nobody has played well against Buffalo this season. If I had to guess Wentz did better against Buffalo than any QB they've played this year.

The dolphins had more passing yards the week they played them

I didn't see any of the game but looks like a big bounce back win for Philly. This probably gets them back in the top 10 in @knowyourenemy power rankings. I saw it was another game under 200 yards passing for Wentz which has been the case for 4 out of his last 5 games this year. Philly is 3-1 when he throws for under 200 yards passing. Maybe his role is more bus driver and maybe Philly is better off not asking him to do too much.

I actually love the way the offense worked yesterday. We know that the receivers are a huge weakness for this offense, so we relied on the running game (41 carries) and then let the RBs, TEs, and only solid WR carry the offense. This is virtually the same thing they did in Green Bay and it worked out.

The one nice addition was that Carson was willing to make a few plays with his legs. 8 carries for 35 yards. I think that without Jackson, this is sort of what the offense needs to look like. Yes, it’s not as flashy, but if you put up 31 on the Bills and 34 on the Packers doing it, then who cares?

This should be the identity of the offense. It probably shouldn’t have taken them 8 games to figure it out (though I guess letting up big leads early kind of hurts the running game a bit).
