    This is a no lose type of game... We lose, it was expected. We win, even if it's "ugly" , we are back in the discussion as a Super Bowl contender type team .

    If we lose BY ALOT, it's a total loss.

    A close loss is highly acceptable... preferably losing on a bad call, so we/media/everyone can truly blame the refs.

    Win this one, then you have to win next week against the Colts.

    Put the division away.

    If for some strange reason we win this game, people here will still be whining about the NE game.

    10. Philadelphia Eagles (7)
    Starters: LT Jason Peters, LG Allen Barbre, C Jason Kelce, RG Brandon Brooks, RT Lane Johnson

    The threat of suspension continues to hang over Lane Johnson, but he’s been on the field thus far and has impressed at RT, allowing only three total pressures and no sacks or hits on QB Carson Wentz. Ironically, it is the old stalwarts of this line—Jason Peters at LT and Jason Kelce at C—that have been the poorest performers through four weeks, with Kelce in particular struggling in the middle. Allen Barbre and Brandon Brooks at guard have been very good, allowing the team a far greater platform to run the ball than a year ago.

    didn't newton have high grades last year or the year before?

    that's discouraging...

    i hate that the cowboys have the best line in the league....they don't deserve it..

    1. Tennessee Titans (25)
    Starters: LT Taylor Lewan, LG Quinton Spain, C Ben Jones, RG Josh Kline, RT Jack Conklin

    You wouldn’t know it from their record, but the Titans all of a sudden have the game’s best O-line through the first four weeks of the season. Taylor Lewan and Jack Conklin both rank among the top five OTs league-wide, with Lewan sitting atop the PFF offensive tackle rankings with a grade of 90.8. The other positions haven’t played quite as well, but there has been no single weak link along the line, with every player performing at least at an average level once Chance Warmack went down.

    They used I think 4 first rounders for their O-line. They have to be good

    It's encouraging we limited Murray.

    His productivity bone?? Really though, this reeks of a PR move. They didn't want the media backlash of cutting a player that has such an emotional backstory, so instead they do him a favor by stashing him on the IR. He's not been good since he got here, and they absolutely NEED production from that position now that Watt is out.

    How is that? They put that line together through the draft and spending money. They actually created it. That's like saying the Texans don't deserve JJ Watt.
