Possibly no Lane Johnson today against the Bills

Johnson reported to trainers this morning that he now has groin soreness. He's getting treatment and will have an MRI. Johnson fully participated all week and has not received any treatment until this morning. https://t.co/EwPYdARB1a

I hope he plays vs BUF so he's sore for next week.

Was just listening to NFLN. Didn't realize their pass D is ranked so low. I hope Brock and Kyle decide to open it up. Like I say every game, Brandon is your friend and to me the go to guy. I hope Brock rubs it in their face and revenge game from last year. Use Brandon!

This is winnable. I wonder if there is some over reaction on how great they are.

Their pass defense is ranked low but last game vs KC was the first time they had all their starters in the secondary together. And they shut out KC in the second half.

I'm still skeptical of their corners. I can think of 5 key drops the chiefs had in the second half, horrendous drops. So it wasn't like they were punking them like ward did to Metcalf.

today will be interesting cause the bills don't really have anyone good to throw to outside of diggs. Bills also have a poor run game.

Im still hoping for an upset.

Very true, it was raining pretty hard during the KC game. You're right they weren't punking them like Ward did to Metcalf but on papaet they were pretty good. I know how high the 9ers are on cloud 9 right now, I'm just trying to not get my hopes up and keeping expectations low. I hope the 9ers execute their game plan flawlessly!!!

This has likely been discussed elsewhere, but who made the schedule so favorable for the Eagles this year? They put them up against the Chiefs the week after the Chiefs come back from Germany and the Eagles are coming off a bye? In addition, they gave them a longer break coming off the bye, MNF vs Sunday. They also got a MNF game in Wk 3 after getting a Thursday night game in Wk 2, the other team had a normal rest between Wk 2 and Wk 3.

Other than the Chiefs, they haven't had a road game against a team with a winning record (currently) so far this year. The schedule makers couldn't have known this, but things have broken well for the Eagles so far this year. By contrast, the Niners have had FIVE road games against teams with winning records. The Eagles' point differential is less than half of the Niners. This upcoming week the schedule is finally not advantageous for them.

That just makes us more battle tested!

On the flip side, niners got shafted schedule wise. We had to play multiple teams coming off their bye. Only slight advantage we have all season is the couple extra days of rest against Philly.

we also travel more than everyone. It's why I was surprised that we didn't stay in ohio for the browns/Vikings stretch.

Wonder if it's on the leg he always kicks back early on?

Schefter already setting up excuses that will be picked up as the only truth....

After today's game against the Bills, the Eagles will face two opponents in two big games that each get extra rest. Next Sunday in Week 13, the Eagles host the 49ers, who played Thanksgiving night and get extra rest. Then in Week 14, the Eagles travel to Dallas to play a Cowboys…

Lane Johnson is out today. I am sure he will be back next week but may not be 100%.
