That was a freakton of football yesterday, no? Well, there’s one more to go and at least one of the teams is worthy of a look. But first…

Newsy Notes:

-Why? Part Infinity: Three UVA football players are dead because. Just because.

-Shittiest Carousel Ever: Qb Walker of the Panthers is injured so now it’s back to Mayfield. This is peak ‘quarterback hell’.

-The Colts get the “New Coach Bump” and a win to boot. Several sites I came across were calling each other out because the Massive Consensus was that it was a bad hire. To that I say, “What could Saturday possibly have done in 5-6 days to make a material difference in the fortunes of the team?” I think it’s diddly squat, myself. Sure Taylor played and Ryan was re-installed but these are moves that anyone would have made. Ease up buckos.

-Kadarius Toney got his first TD a year and a half into his career. He had 6 touches that produced 90 yards as well. Nothing good was going to come of the situation in New York so I just hope the Giants get something out of the draft picks.

To The Game!

Commies/Eagles:

-If you look at the sked it’s likely Philly gets to 10-0 because they get the Colts next week. After that they’ll have a stretch were they’ll pick up their first loss. There’s the Packers and then the Titans, the Giants on the road, Bears on the road and then Cowboys in Dallas-three straight roadies in December is where it happens.

-The same questions that dogged Fields had also followed Hurts around (“He’s a running qb with accuracy issues”) and he’s responded with 18 TD’s (hands and feet) and a mere two interceptions.

-That ball protection stuff he’s doing is why the Eagles have a fantastic +15 turnover differential-the Vikes were in second place with 8 before the game yesterday.

-Can Washington generate any offense at all? Their last two games they’ve put up an average of 17.

-PFF recommends that you take the under on Heinicke’s 0.5 TD prop. That’s so cold. According to their criteria he generates a turnover-worthy play 8% of the time he drops back to pass.

-A Dim Hope?: The last time these folks met the Commies held Philly to 72(!) yards rushing.

Do your thing.
