Recap from Week 6: To say the least would be to say this was not a good night for Philly fans. Number 2 record in the NL with all that star power and the lackluster output except for the one game. What happened? And more on point, for the Eagles cheerers, how do you lose to the Giants? Have they gotten so much better in 1 week after losing to New Orleans, or is Philly reeling? For me, I said to start the Eagles D but that did not pan out as they lost, gave up 34 points, along with only 2 sacks. I was wrong to start them. I then stated to bench Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo. Dart got 195 yards passing, 58 yards rushing, and 2 TDs, while Skattebo got 98 yards rushing, 12 yards receiving, and 3 TDs. I was wrong to bench both of them. Finally, I said to start A. J. Brown. He ended up with 80 yards receiving but nothing else, so I was wrong to start him. Looks like I am reeling too. Gross. I hope I do better next week.
And by next week, I mean the Thursday night matchup that pits the Steelers with the Bengals in Cincinnati. Before the season started, who would have had them 1 and 2 in the division after 6 weeks? The Steelers have turned their rush D around a little bit these past 3 weeks, so let’s keep Chase Brown on the bench for Cincy. On the other side, the Cincy D has been susceptible to the rush, so Jaylen Warren is worth the risk at RB for Pittsburgh if you need a sub play. Finally, if a TE sub is needed, Noah Fant is worth the risk as the Steelers have been vulnerable to tight ends getting yards against them plus Gesicki is out for the week. Okay, let’s end it there. I hope I, and yinz do well.
