Jordan Howard has been the only enjoyable aspect of this offense this year.

That's a hell of a throw from Wentz and a great catch by Goedert.

Unless he was to take some big hits in the second half I don't think so. He is good at not taking the big hits, and they aren't bad enough to be drafting top 5 this year.

Do you know if Singleton is a part of things Rube...or strictly a back up for injury?

Special teams maybe?

Plus he is still a pretty decent QB and will be paid as such. Doubt he walks away from whatever his next contract will be.

He has 27 kids to put through university after all.

They just signed him from the practice squad. He's active but I'd be surprised if he gets any time on defense. Maybe some special teams.

If it's high enough they'll use it for another Clellin Ferrel

Was at an event all afternoon so just finished the Saints game now..man that defence is for real. Best D I've ever seen the Saints have in my time as a fan (not that that's saying a lot..). Very solid on both lines too, amazing to see them put up 36 with a bunch of backups in Chicago against that D.

5-0 without Brees now, if I'm Payton I hold him out one more game against Arizona, rest over the bye the following week then make the switch..there's no point rushing him back the way they're clicking. Love to see Latavius Murray go over 100 yards and a couple scores as well, he ran hard today.

I hope your wife isn't giving you the gears too bad, DropIt!

The sad thing is that after this week, the schedule gets pretty easy so they'll probably finish 9-7 or 8-8, which will be just enough to allow people to keep their jobs and screw us out of a decent draft pick.

Starting to really look like The Eagles should have traded Pederson and kept Frank Reich.

Nelson Agholor might be the worst Eagles WR I've ever personally watched.

Easily the best defensive unit since the Dome Patrol era, can’t wait to see what this team is capable of when Brees is ready.

It will be interesting to see which one of Green Bay, New Orleans, or San Francisco end up having to play in the Wild Card round. But I am impressed with what the Saints have done. Sean Payton matching wits with Bellichick would be something. Me thinks Parcells will be siding with Payton there. No doubt the NFC is far more competitive.

Its only 9....but 7 daughters . He's on the hook for a few weddings and might end up with 50 grand children. So yeah he is the one guy who probably will manage his money reasonably and still need to make an extra 25 millilon.

Yeah thats a good question (and im not conceding the division to GB at all) and my initial instinct would be to say GB because of the division.

Truth is that West division looks like a gauntlet and at some point they have to start beating each other. Also, the Niners play both the Pack and the Saints later in the year which will decide a lot of things. Their schedule has been a cupcake thus far but that changes the last half.

Long ways to go yet.

How lucky are Colts fans that McDaniels is a total flake? They're probably already halfway to firing McDaniels and going full rebuild after Luck retires.
