You could argue that Pedersen might have been too aggressive on 4th down this game. I'll take that all day.

Yeah seriously lol. The 4th and goal from the 1 when the FG makes it a 3 possession game... not so sure about that one e

I thought this was because Sturgis seemed hurt, but then he came on for the PAT/kickoff and I was like WTF? Agree that I'd rather see a bit too aggressive rather than lolkickingteam.

2-0 is nice, but I'm trying to temper my expectations since it was the lolbrowns and lolbears. However, they won both games easily which is what your suppose to do to those teams. Next week will be a true test against an explosive Steelers group.

Most importantly, Carson looks good. If not for some more loldrops and some dumb penalties, his box score would like pretty sexy. No INTs is huge too. I don't remember a single throw yet that I thought "Lucky that one wasn't picked". Only nit pick I have right now is to run the **** OOB or slide. Don't kill yourself on a 6 yard scramble, brah.

Sounds like Power Sturge was suffering from cramps.

Maybe he was in bad shape on that 4th and goal, maybe not.

Either way, the other 4th down calls have been great, and what I was hoping for with Chip. I think D Peder's play calling has been much better than expected overall. Going no huddle empty set to start was fun.

Was a bit over-enthused. I do GAF.

Went from 6 to midnight listening to Doug Pederson answer the 4th down questions from reporters today, mentioning analytics and going for it more often on 4th down. He also doesn't seem to buy into the pass/run 50/50 bull. Could Pederson be who we thought Chip Kelly was going to be? So pumped for this new regime and for Howie's epic comeback. Howie, Pederson, Wentz FTW

Seeing Steelers -3.5 right now, seem low to anyone else? I'm very intentionally not getting my hopes up for this team, but maybe I'm underrating them a bit as a result? I think it's still hard to find more than 5 more wins on the schedule.

Seems low to me. I don't have any faith in the secondary, WRs, or interior OL right now.

split with the division because they are all bad + lions + ravens + falcons is 6, so there is leeway there.

you dont think they beat 1 of Pit/Min/Sea/GB/Cincy?

teams always win a game that they have no business winning. like NE game last year

I think they can sneak a win out of that second group, but I don't think Lions/Ravens/Falcons are gimmes.

Agree. You can't give them credit for winning a game they aren't suppose to, but not ever have them lose game they should win.

2-0 now
Will go 4-2 in division
4-4 in remaining 8 games for 10-6 record.

9-7 at worst

lol we're #1 in DVOA

However, since the 2003 Kansas City Chiefs, every team ranked No. 1 in DVOA after Week 2 has made the playoffs and finished at least 10-6.

I believe.

The turnaround this season is incredible. Wentz was basically free after the trade and aside from the stupid hits he is taking it's just absolute money. Doug appears to be a good coach (wat). We hired Schwartz, moved back to a 4-3 and the sick front seven can finally wreak havoc. As the season wears on the receivers should hopefully fix these drops. DGB might really become an X-factor in this offense. Wentz looked his way a little more this week. I would like to see them hook up more. Hot take: Eagles win this week

I want to believe, but it was the Browns and the Bears.

I'm in the "temper expectations" camp. If Wentz doesn't learn to protect himself, he may not last. Losing Lane is going to hurt pretty bad. Definitely excited about the direction of the team.

Yup. I expect the secondary to struggle, Wentz and the offense may too. Hopefully not. A win would be awesome, but a close game would be encouraging.

Fun with anagrams:

Carson Wentz: Nest Czar now

Doug Pederson: Purges odd one

Darren Sproles: Splendors rare
