This all seems pretty strategic. You get 8 dem senators who are retiring and/or not up for re-election end the shutdown, you let the rest of the caucus attack them, then you drop these Epstein emails to focus attention back on Dirty Don.
For all the talk about the Eagles defense, the Lions defense is better than the Eagles in almost every category. The one major difference is red zone defense.
The Eagles haven’t had a great pass rush. They are bottom 10 in sacks. It’s why the great Roseman who let his best pass rusher walk has been bringing in washed up vets like Smith and Graham. Their pass defense is still good because they have a good secondary.
