They didn't play well in the first half and the offense really put them in some bad spots. The non challenge on the horrendous spot was also killer. All this without QB 1 and your starting LT it's too much to ask.
The starting LT is there. 77 has played his last down as a cowboy

You all can’t just give the Eagles RG credit…. They played extremely disciplined football in their RG and Sanders is pretty shift. Sometimes the other team just plays better all around. And Dallas defense was playing a unique style that the rest of the league, including them will probably figure out halfway through the season. Hurts is not a good QB.

I would say the defense played well considering the pressure the Cowboys offense forced on them. Some mistakes, but thought they played good enough to win. Props to the running game and offensive line. They opened lanes and provided a pretty clean pocket for Rush not being sacked. Zeke and Pollard with some tough running!

Rush didn't play well today and probably lost this one for us, but no regrets he managed the game great for 4 games and we're in a much better spot because of his contributions.

Offense:
- Rush wasn't sacked, but was hurried enough to cause problems.
- Zeke ran well.
- TEs did OK
- WRs are the weak link on offense. Dallas has a bunch of #2/#3 guys but not legit #1 that can dominate and take over a game.

Defense:
- Held Hurts to 155yds
- 4 sacks
- For the most part kept Smith & Gogurt in check; Brown did well
- LVE is playing better; need a 3rd LB to step up...it's basically Micah & LVE
- DTs got pushed around
- Armstrong is looking better every game.
- Micah is Micah... just don't do anything stupid.

2 ST penalties by KJ and your defensive stars Diggs and Parsons key penalties. On the bright side don’t recall a holding penalty on OL and when Rush missed a streaking Lamb in the 4th quarter and underthrew the pass he was hit well after he let go of the ball I don’t see how it had any effect on the pass .

The NBC announcer was gushing about the pressure applied by Graham in reality it was a terrible pass . Should have been a TD . Let’s put the QB controversy to bed and having played all NFCE teams with HOME games against both Philly and the Giants coming in the future I like Dallas chances to repeat as division winner .

I hate losing division games and to Philly but I just can’t fake outrage right now over that loss….we are 4-2 with dak missing 5 games and 2 winnable games right in front of us. While losing this one sucks, I didn’t feel outclassed at all.

im sure that will be the narrative or theme here but that’s par for the course. Get healthy and let’s rebound next week and I have a feeling the game in December against these guys will be huge.
I wasn't expecting much from our offense given all of the praise their defense has generated (only saw 1 Eagles game). I was surprised that Quinn didn't figure out their offense until the 2nd half.

We lost, but they don't really scare me.

If you told me we would be 4-2 after 6 games with no Dak. I would have gladly taken that!

Good points but I feel like Philly can't out and was pumped up in the first half. All season Philly has been a 2nd quarter team. Also if you look at the 2nd half of games they struggle.

Tonight only 6 points in 2nd half. That 2nd quarter Dallas has turnovers and didn't convert on 4th down.

However, I thought Dallas fought back well after that haymaker. Some work still to be done but I like Dallas chances to win when they play in Dallas.

Lions, Chicago and but week up next so a chance to regroup

I’m really excited about Ferguson . He should take a back seat to no one at the TE position going forward.

Rush has got a noodle arm, Dak can’t process the field and his mechanics suck. We need to scrap the offense completely anyways. A lot of it is just carry-over from the past era. Jerry just looking to stay relevant enough, so he’s not going to take risks.

We need to Draft a QB and give us some real excitement. I’m tired of watching bum QB play all the time, while seeing a QB like Josh Allen throw a dime to win the game against the Chiefs.. that’s the type of play that you get excited for.

Going into this game I said Dallas had to control the run and they didn’t and when we got to 20-17 the very next series the Eagles took 3 and outs of the playbook and ran the ball down Dallas throat . Game set match . With Cam Akers the Rams had no running game Stafford was a sitting duck . Hurts had a running game .

That Parsons penalty which extended a drive is a symbol of what’s wrong with Pro Football . He drops back in coverage breaks up the pass and talks smack to Goedert . So ? It’s man’s sport in every sense of the word except the NFL is PC and has a Dress on . The characters that played this game in the past like Ben Davidson Dick Butkus Wilie Lanier Jack Tatum .. it’s an emotional violent game . Simple
