Do I think that means we're ****ed? Absolutely not. But it's enough to slow us down, and enough to keep the game close, where anything can happen. The Eagles made it the Super Bowl for a reason, they aren't gonna just lay down for us. Chances are this game is close.

Folks love to talk about Caliendo but despite playing against some good DLines dude has held up well. They just put the "weakness" tag on him because it's lazy and he's not Joe Thuney. And like I've stated previously. This defense has faced Lamar and Henry and Allen and Cooks. They've seen similar rungames already. And even when Barkley has had big games they lost to Washington and was in huge danger of losing to the Rams late.
