GB had 2 rushes for 30 yards on their 2nd offensive drive to put them behind 13-7.....for the rest of the game GB rushed 19 times for 76 yards....and that is rushing all over them?
5 yards per carry.

Yes, they ran all over them and it would have been worse if they kept doing it. Also a 20 yard rushing td was called back for a BS holding.

Joseph had 2 tackles and Suh did nothing.

Quinn had a qb hit.

We are shaking.

To all the 27 year losing fans said Suh or Joseph will be trash can eat their crows. Eagles DL is now one of the best and will present a problem for the Cowboys running game in the re-match.
Unless you actually watched the game and saw the Eagles defense getting chewed up in the run game.

Rodgers' ribs and Hurts' legs won that game. Not the Eagle defense

Isn't this why Dak gets paid 40 mil a year. To carry the team when the running game is struggling.

I hope Dak silences his critics, but until he takes the team deep into the playoffs this is a warranted opinion, especially with the team around him.

I think they’re solid gap fillers until Jordan Davis gets back. Once he does they will be pretty great depth

No not really in todays NFL.Its just fan speak. Dak is perhaps the 10th highest paid qb its just the going rate at that time. sure it would be nice to carry the team but there are few QBs in this league that do that. In fact Id say 1 and even he needs help.

running game and defense is what wins in the playoffs. QB just helps make big plays when they are given to him

Sorry, bro, 106 rushing yards by the Packers is not really considered "running over them". On the other hand, the Eagles rushing for 363 yards was truly "running all over them".
I was only able to watch the first half. It looks like Green Bay ran at will do. I don’t know if they just stopped running or Aaron Rodgers started throwing.

Eagles will be a tough out. They have a mobile QB and reliable running game - which is Dallas' achilles heel. And they have a good enough defense to give Dallas a tough time scoring.

We only do the draft.
We dont take trading and free agency seriously.
Other teams do and we are seeing the differance.
It must be nice to have a real GM. smh

Eagles Dline sucks which was why they needed Suh and Joseph. Now, even those 2 can't stop the opposing running games. Eagles have been giving up yards and points in bunches. But they're winning. Nobody cares as long as you win. Same goes for Dallas.

..GB had legit shot to winning that game. Rodgers made some bad decisions.

As for DL augmentation. Jones was slicing that bread up, like butter on hot toast.

I personally think NYG has better DL.

Thats because our GM and his idiot son are too lazy to get their hands dirty doing real GM work. They only do half a job and then take 4 months off when other GMs are building better teams.

Yet the Eagles gave up 33…against an injured Rogers…

if Moore has stuck to the run we beat the Green Bay…

if Dak ran more the Cowboys offence would be so much more effective…

We have amatuers running our front office.
Other teams have professionals.
It puts us at a competetive disadvantage.

Sounds like it was a pretty good game. But damn 363 yards?

Hurts is not a pure pocket passer. If you can keep him in the pocket he will struggle. Dallas needs to play 8 in the box the whole game and smother their rushing attack. Delayed blitzes on the left by a safety would work wonders against those guys.

Screw the Eagles.

Sounds like it was a pretty good game......it was, so was the seattle raider game.
damn 363 yards? ........ it was unreal, broke a 1948 record.
They even did the power qb sneak, everyone knows it is coming, and they cant stop it.
4th and 1 and he gets 5 lol.

I dont think dallas can beat them.
possible, but not likely.
