In context

BillA big thing for me, and not to spoil the rest of the discussion about the division, but I think the other teams in this division other than Dallas are going to be bad.

BillAnd I'm just operating like Dallas and Philly can both go 4 -0 in their divisions. Now, Philly always has the weird Washington game every year. Right. Where is it every year or every other year? It's pretty much every year. There's something weird, and you're like, Philly's a big favorite. You have them in a three -teamer or a two -teamer or some sort of parlay, and all of a sudden they're down 10 -7 in the fourth quarter.

BillYou don't know what happened. But here's one other thing, Sal, before we finish. Yeah.

BillWell, first of all, new OC, better chemistry, added Jalen Phillips and Woolen. I don't know how they keep adding free agents every year. But I feel like this is like a last harass season for them because they have these offensive linemen that are talking about retiring, right? This is almost definitely Lane Johnson's last year.

BillThey have the Hurts contract. They've paid some guys. They have some younger guys that they hit some draft picks, but they're going to have to pay those guys too.

BillThey have the Barkley money. Like, I don't think this is sustainable past this year.

BillAnd I feel like during this season, if they need something, they're going to go get it.
