The Eagles are 1-0. Despite preseason projections, that offense looked strong. Hurts completed over 70% of his passes and threw a TD to each of his three receivers. No INT's. He also ran for 64 yards. Meanwhile the RB, Miles Sanders, averaged almost 5 yards a carry.
Then there is the Eagle defense that held their opponent scoreless in the 2nd half. Together, their offense and defense provided the 2nd largest scoring margin last week and they were #1 in yardage margin.
Sure, the Falcons are weak but is our defense going to be any stronger come week #3? Can we stop an athletic QB and a strong running game? Isn't that exactly what this Cowboy defense can't do?
An 0-2 start doesn't concern some of you? An 0-3 start should terrify you.
If the Eagles should defeat the 49ers, their morale will be sky high. They play well in our stadium.
In the past 30 years only 4 teams reached the playoffs after starting 0-3, all one and done.
The Falcons defense is atrocious. Everybody has big games against them.
