Fantasy projections

Kirk: 23/35 for 277 yards. 40% chance he’ll go for 300+ yards
Cook: 19 for 89 yards. 37% chance that he goes for 100+ yards
JJ: 7 for 100 yards. 50/50 shot that he goes for 100+ yards

We’re not a playoff caliber team…
…yet

and we don’t have to be, yet. But we have to be by the time playoffs roll around, and we have to have enough wins to get in.

So, to that end, 3-1 is encouraging.

Defense hasn’t looked stellar, but they’ve had some tough games. Green Bush, Detroit, & Philly all have good offenses, and the D is still maintaining a decent PPG average. Still allowing FAR too many yards and there are other problems, but they’ll improve as the season wears on, IMO.

I’m hoping so. It’s either that, or Donatello really doesn’t need to be the DC. There’s too much talent on the team for them to struggle like they are. I’m hoping it’s the new coaching staff getting their scheme adjusted & figured out, but it’s frustrating to watch.

You don’t have the Eagles fan as a neighbor any more, one positive of moving to the next neighborhood over.
