First half Wentz had a bit of a mare, think he missed six passes in a row at one point. 9-7 Cowboys at the half. Then boom totally steamrollered them. Loving the ABC running game (Ajayi, Blount and Clement), they just chewed the Cowboys up 2nd half.

Agreed. I think he deserves a rough patch every now and again...he has being calling some immense plays. What makes this Eagles side different from the last few years is that they can win ugly and if they are not on top of their game, the defense just steps up a heat and bullies the opposition.
There was some brutal tackles made yesterday and I think as the match went on, they just steamrollered their way.
It is going to take a very good side to stop this team.

So hard watching the Broncos at the moment. The defence stands firm time and time again only for the appalling offence to muck it all up and bring them back onto the field. If Lynch isn't the answer then expect Elway to do some wheeling and dealing in the summer to bring in a decent QB.

7-3 suckers! Almost feel sorry for the Browns, they remind me of the Jags of last year, stout defence, not a bad run game and a couple of decent receivers, unfortunately they have a young QB that makes very questionable decisions that kills their momentum.

Crowell: 11 rushes, 18yds, 1.6ypc av.
Yeah, not bad......terrible!
We criminally under utilize Duke IMO - Crowell should've been cut in the off season as he is NOT a #1 RB. Hes had enough chances to prove himself (OL troubles aside) but just hasn't done it consistently. We need another runner in the draft as I've mentioned before. Rashaad Penny, Saquon Barkley, or Jonathan Taylor (although its probably a year too soon for him) would do nicely.

I wasn’t basing the running game comment on last night alone, we’ve a very strong run defence now since we traded Dareus from the Bills. I’m a fan of Duke Johnson, saw him play for the Canes at the Sun Life Stadium and he ruined the opposition.

Yeah, I know - but lets be honest...the run game has been terrible all year and Crowells stats really arent good enough, regardless of the opposition!
Johnson is Miami U's all time rushing leader, yet only gets used as an outlet for swing passes and an underneath threat the majority of the time. He can do SO much more, & must be incredibly frustrated at not getting the chance to show it....while seeing Crowell lumbering his way through games as #1.

Is there a team with a worse injury status than the Texans right now?
They say that things come in threes:
1. Watt and Mercilus out for season in the same drive
2. Watson out for season in training
3. Foreman out for season whilst scoring a TD
With 2 home games (49ers and Steelers) and 4 away games (Ravens, Titans, Jags and Colts), 6-10 and everyone fit is probably the best we can hope for.
No 1st round draft pick too after last season's Brock O expensive failed experiment.
Over to DFP's Jags and the Titans to hold up the AFC South banner.

Giants lost 4 receivers in one game, 3 for the season (OBJ, Marshall and Harris)
But yes, the Texans have had 0 luck this season. Really gutted about Watson, thoroughly enjoyed watching him play, QB for the future there.
Big setback for Seattle losing to Atlanta there.
Bizarre call to fake the FG with 7 seconds left in the first half, what did Pete Carroll hope to achieve? If he'd just let Blair Walsh convert a relatively simple 3pt chance, the game would have played out very differently. Instead, we end up losing by.... 3pts.
Not on a par with that play call to throw on the 1 yard line in the Super Bowl, but a pretty stupid one all the same.

Elway had made comments for a couple of weeks about the playbook being too complex. McCoy paid the price for this although to be fair, he wasn't dealt the greatest hand in the O line and the QBs.

Sick Note
But still despite all the injuries we find a way to be in with a chance to win the game... in 5 and a half years we have only lost by more than 8 points twice... Wilson finds a way, and he will find a way to get us into the playoffs (where we will lose in the divisional round on the road somewhere)... it’s like deja vu
