If Sow can go at RT, he’ll be facing a fellow alumnus from Eastern Michigan in Maxx Crosby.

Two Eagles, baby!
 
Wait, what the hell happened to Reiff?
 
You want to know what really broke Mac - was the windy Bills game. He sharply tanked after that, and was skittish to start the '22 season which turned into a disaster. He had a chance to rebound at the start of this season, but I think he knows BB doesn't trust him. BB's stupid alltime terrible decisions the last 3 years has ruined Mac.

The Real beginning of the end came the very next game in Indianapolis, after their bye week of all times! I felt confident going into that one too...
And then the whole dam team takes the field and immediately proceeds to lay a ****ing Brontosaurus egg: penalties, turnovers, trailing big early, special olympics team clownery, defense can't make one last stop... Sound familiar? It should, because it's been that way here ever since then.

Carson Wentz' days as a starter (or even as a backup?) might be over; but one thing he can take with him is that he screwed-over the NEP - twice.
 
they were on the field for 40+ mins

I understand that; but to call their play on Sunday fantastic just isn't accurate. They performed much, Much better than the offense did; but they also looked discouraged & defeated as well, and I just don't see their condition improving at any time for the rest of the season.
 


Why isn't Siddy the Sow being given a chance to start a game at Left Guard? Tony Mafi absolutely Sucked there last week. But if Bill loves Mafi so much, then he should move him to Right Guard and move Onemenu to Right Tackle, because VD Lowe has been Much worse than I hoped he'd be out there, very disappointing.
 
Mind backing that up?

Save yourself the money, because Nobody's Coming; it's Just Them, or what's left of them anyway... And try as they will, they just don't have the manpower any longer.

with this oline , we are going to get blown out again. maybe they have a gameplan like vs the eagles to get the ball out quickly. it was similar line in that game.
is it a coincidence that the single game strange and owenu played they ran for 100+ yards?

Sad that Strange is bitten by the injury bug so early in the season.
 
I expect a better effort than the last two weeks. I'd expect they go even more conservative on offense and stick to the run even if it’s not working.

I don’t trust the line to protect Mac or open holes in the run game.

At this point I’m looking for bright spots. A breakout game from Boutte or Thornton would be fun. Nice defensive plays from Mapu, or White was would be nice.
 
Left guard has truly been a revolving door
