Chose a bad week to invoke the ghost of Saint Myron.

Former Eagles QB Ron Jaworski: Jayden Daniels is the best rookie QB I have ever seen.

Personally I would pump the brakes on that hype a little, we can all recall when RGIII was the greatest thing since sliced bread in DC, but Daniels sure looks like a great pick.

Mailata returns at left tackle for this game after going on IR. That’s a nice boost. Fred Johnson did ok as a replacement but now the line should be back at full strength.

The Eagles have activated Jordan Mailata from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the Commanders. After a four-game layoff, the Eagles starting left tackle is available to play.

I expect a good game tonight, maybe even a great one. Eagles are healthier and more battle tested, and I think they should win. But I could definitely see it go the other way.

The Steelers did some interesting things against Daniels, including using a 5-man mush rush to keep him in the pocket and make him one dimensional. It worked but it's a risky strategy due to his live arm.

Philly generally plays more of a bend but break d under Vic Fangio, and it has really been clicking in recent weeks, pretty much grounding most passing games. The rookies, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, are playing great ball, as are linebackers Zach Baum and Nakobe Dean. What used to be the weakness of the Eagles last year, pass coverage and tackling in the short and intermediate areas of the field, have become strengths.

So I'm not sure Philly will attack here, I think they will run their umbrella coverages and basically try to force Daniels to methodically move the ball down the field without making mistakes. I think it will work, but he could break loose and make some big plays and pull the upset.

Good turn of phrase by Travis Kelce on his podcast with Jason this week: Jerry Jones is at war with the sun.

I think fighting the sun...is a tough battle as a human being on planet earth, but that's just me.

Travis Kelce has a strong stance on Jerry Jones and his ‘war with the sun’

There could be, for the mythologically inclined, an Icarus-Jerry Jones comparison to make.

I was surprised and annoyed that Seibert didn't play last week, as he was in my fantasy lineup. Was that well known before the game? I wasn't paying as much attention.

It was noted early in the week as a hip injury, immediately followed by Zane being picked up, so id say YES, known as possible and likely by Wed/TH last week

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Guess we will see.

I've said for awhile that I think we split the series but advantage Skins if we can pull off the upset @Philly, beat up after a short week against the Eagles at their healthiest.

That said, I still like our chances tonite

I don't take any solice in beating the undefeated Eagles when our team sucked. It reminds me of the Cowboy fans who bragged about their one win in a 1-15 season was against the Redskins who won the Super Bowl a month later.

As for tonight as I said on our board I don't like their chances. too beat up on the road in a short week. But I like them in the rematch and I surely like their future over the Eagles. I'm also enjoying the entire meltdown in Dallas.

 

[Iggloo]

Oh I did. That was a shocking loss. This is much more of an even game and few will be shocked if either team wins it.

 

[Iggloo]

Did we give double credit to the black guy who said, "some red school" though? I mean he was technically right two times. Weigh the averages.

Honestly think it will be a more 'even' game when y'all come to Northwest later this year but I still really do like our chances

 

[Iggloo]

Games are never even. Ironically enough, our next game is when we come off of playing the Steelers. So it is what it is. Anyway, good luck tonight!
