On to Philly...

of a run game and struggled to protect the QB against the Redskins. We could easily be 2-2 at the quarter. All is not lost....

This season is starting to look a lot like 2017, in terms of results (not necessarily HOW the games were won/lost):

- Week 1: Bmore: we start off at home and the offense sputters for most of the game, 'causing us to lose, despite the defense playing not bad.
- Week 2: Texans: we play Thursday night against a team with a ton of talent, but beyond inconsistent results and overratedness; we lose because we can't stop the run and we especially can't stop it at pivotal times, despite hanging in there until the end.
- Week 3: Packers: a game on the road against an NFC opponent, that has had recent success but hasn't made it far in a few years (obviously, 2017 is closer in recency than 2010). We lost in OT, but that was a game we easily could have won, if we had a few bounces go here and there and (surprise surprise) the refs don't **** us over.
- Week 4: Browns: Team is a mess and has a ton of holes, but we soundly beat them to get the 0 monkey off our backs. Like the Jags (I know the Jags played well Week 1, but Rivers is going to severely hurt the Colts and Mack was lost before the second quarter was finished).

For this reason, I can see us being 1-3, though I absolutely not hope they do.

Still, if the season indeed turns out to be like 2017, I would be ok with a 7-9 record on the season; we will see how things shake down.
