If/when the Eagles beat the Cardinals today and WHEN the Skins lose to the Seahawks, my Birds will be right back in it and I think will then control their own destiny.

I believe in Jalen!

Sometimes rookie QBs have good first weeks mainly because opposing defenses don't have any film on him. The second week is crash back to earth usually.. The Seahawks have no defense. If Washington defense can slow down Seattle offense at all, then a Seattle victory is not guaranteed.

I figure given you have Washington & Dallas coming up, those games will decide the division.

The no film thing has been widely discussed on Philly talk radio this week.

But a counterpoint to that is Hurts now also has a full game of NFL starting experience to draw upon this week.

Not as big a factor but sure. The NY Jets QB has 13 games of NFL experience as well.

After only 1 game I'm not ready to make many declarations about Hurts yet (even though he did look really good) but I think it's safe to say a kid who played for Oklahoma and Alabama and had an impressive NFL debut, is going to be better than Darnold.

He might. But this story of successful college QB having great debut and then fizzling has been played before.

That is certainly a fair point.

And after his rookie 2016 season if you told me by 2020 Wentz would have not won a single playoff game and be benched I'd have said you're insane. So who knows how this will play out...but I'm hoping for the best!

Who is the color commentator for this game?

Also a 0-2 score is just weird.

After a hideous start (par for the course this season) my Birds are right back in it! 14-19.
