A few tidbits:

Hurts is a more polished Milroe in some aspects, although Hurts makes accurate throws and quick decisions far more consistently.

Brady is harping on Hurts not being on time with the ball. Brady is really good with some of his insight, but he’s no Tony Romo.

Hurts still rolls right to throw it away, no matter what.

Tush push tidbit. Philly gets down to the goal line, lines up for the push. Washington’s 4 skies over the lines and hits Hurts. Called for offsides. Does the same thing next play, gets warned he can be flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Hurts is intentionally hard counting every down. Next attempt Jonathan Allen jumps. Referee then warns Washington HE CAN AWARD PHILLY A TOUCHDOWN!?! if they keep jumping.

Cooper DeJean has had a good year and fits in well on that defense.

41-23 Philly 10:24 in the fourth. Washington has three turnovers.

That sequence was getting comical the way Washington kept jumping offsides. And 4 wasn't just jumping, he was jumping over the linemen.

The Eagles ability and the Bills inability to run this simple play decided both games.
I had the impression from earlier games that the Bills were a physical team. I came away from the chiefs game believing that they have used their home field and weather advantage in Buffalo to push opponents around. In KC they didn't appears to have the tools and some of their play selection down the stretch look suspect. Although he probably made that 1st down!

Eagles are crazy stacked. Commanders have a bottom half the league roster but have the QB. I think we'll be back soon with how good Jayden Daniels has looked. He might be the best QB in the NFC.

If he can avoid injuries, I believe that you are right. He is good enough to win championships. He needs a second WR, a better TE and a RB who can catch passes.

At a certain point, if you are offsides, it is a half an inch penalty, but if you time it right, you might get the offense to false start or better yet, cause a fumble. That situation for the defense is all upside and no downside.
Until the ref says he can simply award the TD, which I had never heard of before, but makes sense.

Yup, have to fix the defense too. Fortunately we have a lot of cap space available. And likely will make more available by restructuring some contracts.

Maybe Daniels falls back to earth but I'm not so sure. His only bad games this year he was working through a rib injury. So, like you said, staying healthy is big.

Washington has a TON of cap space this year. The Eagles have none. I expect them to win the division next season.

The way I read that rule, a running back being tripped by someone on the side line when there's no one between him and the end zone would be awarded a TD.
