Being a Giants fan, I hope not. But you are probably right. I think eagles are a lot better than the Cardinals, but you never know what can happen on any given Sunday!!

Yeah, its never really bothered me seeing guys get banged up with arms and legs, etc... But head injuries are a scary thing. I thought it was scary enough watching Daniel Jones stumble to the sidelines last year after getting clobbered, but seeing Tua's hands like that you sorta knew it was something serious..

Absolutely. It's Rush's time to shine and at 3-0 why change something that
works just to bring back your big name QB? Dak wasn't exactly inspiring in the
first game either so that should be taken into account also.

I didn't get to see the game but what an awesome comeback against the Packers!
Makes me wish I had gotten tickets to see the game. The Giants are having a
strong season so I would see them as dark horses this time around.

Yeah, CTE is no laughing matter so I hope the head-knock has no lasting
effects. I guess injuries are a part of the game... I always found it strange
that the average NFL player has a career lasting around 3 seasons when soccer
players average around 15-20 seasons. It must be the injuries building up and
becoming unmanageable forcing players to chuck it due to health concerns and/or
a decline in performance.
