can someone score a TD in this game?

Apparently they can't even score a field goal.

[Mr. Scot]

So it's 5-0. What are we, bottom of the seventh? When's the manager gonna go to the relief pitcher?

[Hoenheim]

Jesus Christ, I just watched a football game with 0 TDs scored by either team.

Yeah, a team that would be Dee moderately successful if they won 6-7 games is reminiscent of the early '90s Cowboys. LOL! Troy got that CTE.

The early 90s  cowboys spring from a 1--15 team with some key high draft picks. I'd assume that's what he meant

The pass protection in this game has looked reminiscent of ours.

Pass pro league wide is poor. We have had about 5 drafts that have produced very few good Tackles.

Preseasons going to preseason. Good examples of why good coach and scheme for the eagles overcomes poor talent. At least on the offense.

Certainly seems that OTs these days are harder and harder to find. It used to be that an OL was considered the safest pick a team could make in the first round. These days it seems like one of the riskiest. First round OL busts all over the place.

Most definitely, Matt Kalil is a perfect example of that. 10 years ago he would have been on the pine right now but he's not and it's why I hope they lock up Williams and Moton long term. Might not be a pro bowl set of tackles but it's close this day and age.

Re-signing Williams is an absolute must. We've been straight trash at OT for the entirety of Cam's career. We finally have an All-Pro OT. Letting him walk is simply not an option.

Well suffering a injury like he did will bring down the cost quite a bit. He really gambled and lost on that one. I don't see any reason Moton will struggle at LT because the kid is technically sound and athletic. Hopefully Williams doesn't rush back and injure himself even more.

I don't understand the Browns hype. I still can't see them winning more than 4 games.

Hyde-Chubb looks like a real potent 1-2 combo, plus Duke Johnson is a great 3rd down back to spell them.

Mayfield has looked really solid this preseason, this being his weakest game but dear lord hisO-line was abysmal. Taylor is a suitable stopgap til they feel they feel they can start Mayfield. 

Landry and Njoku are two very solid if not good receiving targets, Higgins looks like a solid guy who can contribute for them.

Defense has a lot of young, solid talent, and the culture is starting change, though I'm still not a big fan of Hue. I can see 6 wins from this team as easily as I could see 2.

Clevelands starting defense shut Philly's starting offense down. If we did the same thing to NE tonight, everybody would be grabbing the Jergens.

I wonder what odds you could have gotten in Vegas to bet that the Atlanta Braves/Miami Marlins game, and the Brown/Eagles game would end up with the same score of 5-0.
