2020 NFL: Wk.8 Game Thread

Collinsworth is confused that a 31 year old guy who's been out of football for years isn't the same player he used to be.
I think there about 30 players on the field tonight who this statement could apply to.
Cowboys have scored 22 points in 3 games since Dak was injured. Losing out doesn’t seem far fetched.
I have been dying for teams to get good at dropping onside kickoffs into no-man’s land just like that. It’s the only chance to get it anymore.
Did not follow this thread last night - and indeed went to bed in the second quarter - but I have to agree that Wentz is simply awful right now. And honestly, I can't even tell you why that is?
Maybe it's just the accumulation of too many injuries, but the QB who looked so dynamic back in 2017/18 is simply gone.
Edit: To echo what others have said in this thread, it's difficult to overstate how much the entire NFC East sucks.

Wentz has a back injury that's chronic, it's likely throwing off all his mechanics. He's also lost confidence and the team around him really isn't very good despite playing in a trash division.
Even if Dalton returns, their Week 12 tilt with the WFT is the only remaining game where they might be favored. I think they’ll find a way to win at least one of their remaining three divisional games, but it’s far from a sure thing.
I meant to ask this last night, but if the Falcons played the Chargers right now on a neutral field - with or without fans - who would win? Or, if the playoff overtime rules were in effect, would the heat death of the universe ensue first?
I’ve seen various parts of most Giants games. I think their coaching staff is good. They’re not a good team because their talent is not good. But they’re not a mess like the team they share a stadium with.
Arians just seems like such a dumb coach sometimes. Like tonight, that fumble isn't really Jones' fault... but.... gotta bench him even though he's your best RB because that's how you do it.
