Game Day ***Cowboys vs Eagles 1st half thread***

[Daillest88]

LoL. Against this third grade defense nothing they do today says anything about their skills. As many said already, it's a worthless game. Hopefully just a nice practice session for the offense, anything but a blowout would be an embarrassment.

No but Wilson is a good option as a #3

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

He’s gonna get Prescott hurt.

You watch.

thats exactly what im afraid of .

 

[gimmesix]

It was not an OPI, he got the defender before the ball was thrown.

Hmm ... I'd have to go back and look at that. If it's within 5 yards and the ball wasn't thrown yet, then I agree.

 

[J817]

Hurts got the nod over dak for the Pro bowl,????

Stats game, Hurts has like 700 or 800 yards rushing along with his passing yards and TDs.

 

[FiveSuperBowls]

And aggressive. He wasn’t scared to fill that gap on second down and for the RB out of bounds

Yup, that’s the second play he came up fast.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Cowboy fanzz do that too

I know but we're not the ones on TV .

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Hurts got the nod over dak for the Pro bowl,????

Yeah, even my giant friends dont get that.

 

[Shinaoi]

Cee dee lamb really shouldn’t be returning punts in this situation.

 

[jazzcat22]

Yes a 3 and out, not go get a TD offense.

 

[Whyjerry]

Is there anything that can happen tonight that’d make you more confident going into the playoffs?

A win and good offensive performance.

 

[guag]

That should have been an OPI but our non-biased fans won’t acknowledge it, lol

I fully expected it and was kinda surprised it wasn't called. Maybe the receiver didn't wave his hands around enough

 

[nalam]

So since Jalen Hurts is a Pro Bowler, can I safely assume that Minshew will lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory this year?

Dont even joke !

 

[jwooten15]

That non-call on the touchdown was because the defender hit the receiver, not the other way around.

It would have likely been illegal contact by the defender in fact had it been a couple more yards down the field.

As it was, the correct call was to not call anything.

Disagree. Lamb was searching for contact and lowered his shoulder in an obvious way. That’s the definition of an illegal pick play

 

[Virginia-Dave]

I hate Lamb as our primary punt returner. He's too valuable to the offense. Why risk it? Especially in THIS game?! Bring him in to return punts if we're down and need a play, that's it.

 

[boysbeyond4ever]

Is it tho? I didn’t see all of it, could of played it off like he’s running a route?

We caught a break - again the problem is the officials don't practice to consistently call things. Definitely went our way this time....doesn't excuse it though. The refs are awful and this shouldn't be how games are reffed, period, no matter who's playing.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

bench the starters Kellen !
for gosh sakes...

 

[ultron]

It’s crazy to think we have the most blocked punts, the most interceptions, and the #1 offense in the league - yet a fairly large amount of forum members trash this team every week

 

[Playmaker3128]

I’d like to see dak run once this drive…
Put it on tape

 

[MarcusRock]

It was not an OPI, he got the defender before the ball was thrown.

You're wrong. This is from the rulebook:

"Offensive pass interference rules apply from the time the ball is snapped until the ball is touched."
​

We got away with one.

 

[J_Allen]

I call BS on that. How do you guys conveniently forget Zeke is aging hurt. Knee brace and damaged ligament in knee.
As cowboy fans we should be thankful he has played thru it all year ( well half a year)
Not criticize him for it. Cause you just wanna be right !

He doesn't need to be out there anymore. He definitely doesn't need to play in the playoffs.
