Ah yes, the postseason. Which the Giants will definitely be playing in
Jaxson Dart is out for the “regular season,” per John Harbaugh. Seems to be holding out hope he can return, dependent on the timeline, for the postseason.

Coaches spend entire days of practice on 3rd down and situational football and we now have a stat that ignores both!
Week 2 (pre-MNF) early down SUPLEX rates! SUPLEX is combined Successful play rate + Explosive play rate (my simple and dirty way of a football version of OPS). 1st & 2nd downs only, outside the final 2 minutes of each half, garbage time removed. Top-right = good O/good D

And look, I’m not an idiot. I know how important success on 1st and 2nd down is. We’re just getting so out of hand with this

God no. Wentz has been terrible. They’re surviving with Wentz. Not winning
Stick with Wentz

It took years of overrating and overpumping up Justin Herbert for people to finally realize he’s a slightly above average QB with flaws and now they’re killing the guy instead of simply realizing what he was this whole time

FG ends the game. Why are we running the clock down?

It's simply shocking that people can be this incredibly stupid
RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"
Community note
RFK Jr. referred to "chemtrails," a conspiracy theory alleging secret chemical spraying by aircraft. No evidence supports this; trails are condensation (contrails) and a 2016 peer-reviewed survey of 77 atmospheric experts found 76 had seen none for such programs. epa.gov/regulations-em… iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… statnews.com/2026/09/17/rfk…

Why what happened?
Sources: Steve Belichick has resigned as North Carolina’s defensive coordinator. He’s been on medical leave since August 6.

I really hate this quote. "Checking it down might feel monotonous"??? Dude, it's football. Short passes shouldn't bore you. You're a QB. Do the right thing.
Drake Maye asked if he's more comfortable with checkdowns than he was earlier in his career: "It depends on the game...realizing what the defense is doing and what we're trying to accomplish on offense...checking it down might feel monotonous, but it's the right thing to do."

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fan account know less about the salary cap
There needs to be a proper write up on how badly Howie Roseman has jacked up the eagles cap. Landon Dickerson is due $90,000,000. He has void years going to 2031. Retirement literally accelerates the cap to today, but Dickerson believes he can still play, so IR it is. However, in 2027, this becomes even more problematic. No team will want to inherit this contract, so Philly is left with a ticking timebomb, a lost roster spot, lack of depth, cap hell, and eventually problems with the NFLPA based on how they handle him. This situation is spread across the top of the Eagles payroll. Specifically really bad with Hurts. Dickerson is the domino effect which will cause Philly to roll further void years into current players, virtually guaranteeing they're on the roster until 2030+. One single players drop in performance, retirement, injury, will cripple them for 4+ years. Their lack of depth is already apparent. Rosemans only prayer is that the NFL salary cap literally doubles in size, and he's banking on TV contracts for it to happen. The main problem with this is the streaming platforms. CBS, FOX, and ESPN are growing increasingly concerned with the amount of exclusive games the streaming services are being awarded, with the TV channels demanding the NFL reduce the likability factor of most of these games. However, Netflix and Amazon are already finished with their streaming trials, they're ready for a heavier load. All of this to say, the NFL will always end up on top, but it's highly likely there will be some internal temporary casualties. A moneyball type film will be made out of this scenario one day.

They have to bench him. It’s the second straight season of this
Landon Dickerson allowed 4 pressures and 1 quarterback hit today. Among 138 qualifying offensive linemen so far in Week 1, his 40.3 PFF grade ranked 136th.

Just say “I’m not watching this particular game”
Eagles have four 3 & Outs. That’s with a top OLine, Saquon, and solid WR/TE talent. Not sure how much more you can give Jalen Hurts.
Community note
Eagles O-line struggled in the game vs Commanders, allowing 3 sacks on Hurts with poor run blocking and manhandled per reports, contrary to "top" description. Team had at least 3 straight three-and-outs in second half. reuters.com/sports/nfl/eag… phillyvoice.com/eagles-command… nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nfl/philadelph… nytimes.com/athletic/75915…

The Eagles MUST bench Landon Dickerson if they want to be successful on offense
