How Lane Johnson’s Retirement Will Affect the Eagles and More Questions for Week 5

PelisseroBut Ben is going to come in with a plan to attack whatever weaknesses he sees on film. They're going to have their hands full. I don't think you can go in saying, yeah, we'll beat them 17 -14 again. I know that happened against the Vikings in the rain a couple of weeks ago, and they were able to just play that grinded -out defensive game.

PelisseroBut it's a great chess match, I think, especially Ben going up against Gannon. And let's see, without Cooper, as you mentioned, without Parsons, exactly what Green Bay has in store. We've also got Raiders at Patriots this week, which it's a rematch of the weirdest game of the 2025 season. and I know we've talked about it.

PelisseroI was there week one. Raiders beat the Patriots in New England. Mike Farable's first game as coach and everyone goes, what's going on? Pete Carroll's reviving the Raiders. Raiders lost basically every game after that. Patriots basically won every game after that. And it was a complete flip after week one. Now you got a Raiders team that even in losing last week, Sheil looked pretty good.

PelisseroAnd they go up against a Patriots team that I really believe, I know we're going to talk Raiders later, but the Patriots, what you saw last week, I don't think that was a fluke. I think that they really kind of found themselves and they, Mike Vrabel has been good at this through his career.

PelisseroTake when all the noise is coming together and be able to refocus your team on what actually matters. Yeah. Vrabel and Drake may hate each other. May's got the yips and shouldn't have traded Keishan booty. It's like, all right, what do you say after the game? We don't have to take any more shit.

PelisseroLike that's basically what it is was it was a no more shit taking game for that. And now, all right, don't have the letdown. Now come and take care of business at home where your fans, will be, finally, you'd think a little less on edge than they've been, but this is not a cakewalk type of game by any stretch.

KapadiaIt's like we look at the schedule before the season or even we do it now. We're like, oh, well, their next three games are this. And it's just a reminder how much things change because I don't know that there's a big difference between these two teams and how they're playing right now. I mean, you mentioned it, Patriots, you have the bounce back game last week, but that's one game.
