Looks like we catch a break not having to face Goedert. He's out for the next four weeks with a fractured forearm.
Eagles’ TE Dallas Goedert has a fracture in his forearm and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine if there is any further damage, as well, per sources. Either way, Goedert is set to miss time and is an injured reserve candidate. pic.twitter.com/rd9Lnw1fsA

The 2 big runs from Mostert on the final (non-scoring I might add) drive boosted his YPC when the Chiefs were clearly defending the pass to not get beat deep.
Mostert was completely bottled up for 95% of that game.
All due respect for some reason, but the Dolphins OL + Moestert is not the Eagles OL + Swift. [Reply]

There actually is a pretty good possibility the offense comes out as strong as it has all season. Probably not because of Richie James, no, but Mahomes and the boys having an extra week to work with the reshuffled WR depth chart will almost undoubtedly pay good dividends. [Reply]

I belieeeeeeeeve I posted that Etienne was the only way they'd beat us, if we didn't contain him. I don't think I predicted that to happen. (And I bet most of us anticipated that was going to be a tougher game than it ended up being.)
I did call my shot on the Broncos run game; they literally had no other way to beat us, so it wasn't exactly a genius call by me but at least it had the benefit of being correct. [Reply]

I'm pretty sure that take is pure Fan Fiction, pal. I don't think I've made the case anybody here is stupid, I have repeatedly made the case that many of CPers are homers. But that's not the same thing.
I also don't think my opinions are above debate. [Reply]

That wasn't correct either. The Broncos didn't beat us with their running game.

Something is just off about the eagles pass offense. Hurts has kind of just become a "chuck it up QB." They are fantastic on defense vs the run but suspect against the pass. We get the passing game going and we are good. But honestly I could see our defense making their offense look absolutely miserable if we can limit their run game. We may not need to put up a whole lot on offense.
Check out his videos in QB School. Hurts is inconsistent some but he's still making some All Planet plays. [Reply]

That's a deep cut. I don't think I've posted in DC in about 7-8 years. [Reply]
I pick the Chiefs to win almost always. I'm just not as unreserved in my fandom as many others are here. This place became Arrowhead Pride in April 2017, and I stayed the same. [Reply]

Mostert is averaging an entire yard per carry more than Swift with 8 more rushing TDs.
Swift went crazy in weeks 2 and 3 against the Vikings and Tampa.
Since then, he hasn’t done much. His long carry is 22 yards since then. His best YPC is 4.1 in a game. He’s been almost completely shut down by Dallas, Washington, and the Jets. (Same Jets that Pacheco gashed for 115). [Reply]

But fine, they also gave up 28 points to the Vikings offense too.
Now what's your excuse?
I don't think that's the case -- the Chiefs offense has played like garbage against the Broncos twice, but I don't think they're garbage. [Reply]

Personally? I'm rooting that they take Toney out of the cellophane. [Reply]
