Prior to the season starting our first three games looked super daunting. I realize, we will still be underdogs in all of them but, team for team they don't look nearly as imposing as they did when the schedules came out.
New Orleans. Ingram is not a huge loss for NO but, it's enough of a loss that there is really only one thing to key on in the running game. If you are our DC, you want to know Where TF is Alvin Kamara at all times. Which may or may not be better but, Ingram gives them some late game pounding ability that wont be present now.
Philly. Wentz is a better QB. Foles, has had our # but, I have to believe we will be able to defend him better than we would Wentz. Particularly after how Foles has looked so far this pre-season and season opener. Other injuries have Philly a lot less potent than the one they won the Super Bowl with 8 months ago.
Pittsburgh. Bell may or may not be playing when we play. This team has huge super bowl aspirations as Ben's time is growing near. They are still super lethal on O but, Leveon adds a dimension you have to account for that makes their offense almost unfair.
Looking ahead, Keanu Neal is out for the season for the Falcons. Huge loss for their secondary.
Schedules to me are a non-event. Let's get after NO tomorrow, grab a win, and see where we are. One game at a time.
