Game Day ***Cowboys vs Eagles Pre-Game thread***

[HighTechDave]

Last game of the regular season.
Will it make a difference?

love the signature..

 

[Ranched]

The Cowboys have scored 479 points this season, tied for most in franchise history (1983).

They are the only team this season w/3 players to have 700+ Rec. Yards & 6+ Rec. TDs in Coop, Lamb & Schultz. This is only the 3rd time they have achieved this (1985 & 2005).

Technically Heinicke is a backup, but he started almost all the games this season. Saying he is a backup is like saying Dak was a backup in 2016.

Not really. After Romo recovered from his injury and was ready to play he never got his job back because Dak won the job due to his outstanding play. Romo ended up having to hold a press conference and relinquish his job. He was released during the offseason. The only reason Taylor Heinicke continues to start is because Ryan Fitzpatrick was lost for the season with an injury. Washington will be looking to replace Heinicke during the offseason.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the Cowboys defense looks tonight without Parsons. This will be the first time we’ve seen the defense this season without him. We’ll see if we can generate any pass rush. We ranked 13th in sacks this season.

You're reaching. That's just dumb and faulty logic to justify your wrong post.

We didn't last week with him there so it's likely to be a decline in that area but the matchups will dictate that.

 

[JoeKing]

you won't see, miss the point much?

there's no way to measure if it was JUST Mp out given all the players out with his. So yes i will respond because it defies logic to say that without any data going to come from this game given real facts i states. Its like saying, we lose without Zeke not playing in 2017 when also Tyrone and others were out those same games. No way to gauge it unless sit was only Parsons out on defense. Diggs key player, brown key player, Wilson key player, others so im correct,

so your point was invalid. you are welcome

You are obviously just here to talk crap and chew bubble gum and you are all out of bubble gum. LOL

You’re reaching so far it’s a wonder you didn’t dislocate your shoulder. lol Dak developed into a starting QB his rookie year after he took over for Romo. Dak played so well Romo got released a few months later and Dak earned a $40 million contract 5 years later. Taylor Heinicke is a backup journeyman who’s played for 3 teams in 4 seasons. He is what he is an average backup QB. Had Ryan Fitzpatrick recovered from his injury Heinicke would’ve been back on the bench. This isn’t even remotely close to the Romo/Dak situation. Washington will be looking for another starting QB in the offseason.

Nfl had 2 bye weeks in 1993. This whole first ever week 18 finale bs is not true. I guess the 17th game makes it different and more true though.

Yeah tied for 13th with two other teams. This vaunted pass rush is as average as average gets. Our only real pass rusher plays off ball LB half of the time.

It’s not real good that a part-time edge rusher is our leading sacker. If our offense continues to sputter we better hope we find a pass rush in the playoffs.

It doesn’t say much for our front four when our leading sacker is a part time pass rusher.

Forget all the garbage about the players, the coaches, the opponents. It’s not like this season is unique regarding those things mentioned, outside of COVID. How many times have the Cowboys won 11 games, maybe 12, in a season.
We are 11-5, won the division with weeks to go in the season, going to have a home playoff game, and actually have an exciting defense for the first time in many years.

Despite all the whining and wringing of hands over our flaws, we went undefeated in December before losing a tough game by 2 points last week.

Don’t come at me about opponents, QB, or what you think the winning scores should have been. I’ve seen high flying Dallas teams win with only FGs and win 13-10.

11 wins (maybe 12) don’t come that often. Seldom do we play multiple games at the end of a season with the division sewn up like it was this year. Enjoy the ride! Go Cowboys!

you heard me ..if you are here to be right, you failed. <<<me chewing bubble gum....

And you saying Heineke is a backup but Dak wasn't because Dak eventually became a starter is ridiculous. Dak was a 3rd string rookie QB. Nobody knew how it was going to turn out for him. Had Romo recovered from his injury earlier, Romo would have been the starter and Dak would have been back on the bench. There was even talk of Romo getting his job back had he not made his speech.

To say Heineke was a backup when he played us is a big reach. He started since week 2. He started 12 games before playing us.

If these sissies treat this like a preseason game they deserve to get destroyed in the wild card round.

Missing Parsons won’t be the story tonight, not when it’s also Diggs, Brown, Kearse, and maybe Wilson.

 

[blueblood70]

so KC do they have a lot to play for? Mahomes and the starters in so far 2 series. bTW hope that KC defense wasn't trying to tune up drew lock running all over them.lol

exactly not one starter like 3-4 key guys..
