We could be sitting at

Eagles 10-2 vs Cowboys 9-3 in Week 4 is very much possible...

Dak Hate is NOT about Football
After that game, we have the Bills, Dolphins, and Lions for the next 3 weeks, plus the Eagles' loss is to an AFC opponent so they have the tiebreaker on Dallas as well.

Dallas will have to catch absolute fire if they are going to win this division and I personally don't think they are consistent enough to do so.

You should say the KC's season is never over. Dallas not so much...maybe never.
Not get what you're trying to say.....are you saying we have no shot? Fair enough. I can't make fans...."Fan" lol. Either you believe in them or not.

So the silver lining is they have really tough games and we have really easy games coming up? We need tough games. Every team philly faced this year brought their A game, including us and they only lost one. Why bring this up? Because they are battle tested, they have a target on their backs and every team has been gunning for them. I guess beating bad teams is great for stats but regular season stats don't do anything for you come the post season. We need to win tough games against good teams. We need character building wins. Should we throw in the towel, no, but lets not make the fact that we have a bunch of bad teams coming up and they have a bunch of tough games coming up our rallying cry. We need to beat the best teams not the worst. Teams waltzing into the playoffs with powder puff wins generally waltz right out.
You think that was the Cowboys best A game? I think Cowboys are capable of playing better....hell maybe even Eagles too can make that claim.

And you will get your "character" games coming up. Its not that the Cowboys don't have them. They just came at a different time. We will know a lot about this Cowboy teams rather soon after we face Commanders, Panthers and Giants.

No, but they'd better be 10-3 heading to Buffalo and Miami in December.

Odd because I watched the secondary give up play after play after play and get bailed out by Steele failing at pass blocking. If that is their secondary clamping down then they need to buy some new clamps because they are broken.
Odd because I watched the refs call ticky tack penalties, like the roughing on Dak, that bailed out the offense.

I also watched their secondary flip Dak on his head when he tried to score and their secondary stop CeeDee on the final play.

Yards don’t win games, scores do, and their secondary held the offense to 6 second half points yesterday.

It was over when we lost to Arizona. With a brutal schedule like we have you can’t lose to bad teams.

I know most don't want to hear that after a tough loss like that but this race isn't over.

For those that think it's over after today....did you have the Cowboys sweeping the Eagles? I personally had us 1-1 just like last year. Now what this loss does do is make that a must-win if you continue to win of course. This was the argument I Was making all week when people were calling this a must-win. It wasn't. Sure it would've been nice to sweep the Eagles but that wasn't realistic. The goal was to take 1-1.

They have Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Cowboys and Seahawks...which includes trips to Seattle and Arrowhead which are typically tough places to play. And at this point maybe you should at Jerry's world to that list because shockingly they are on a 11 game home win streak which I had no idea about until last week.

We have Giants, Panthers, Commanders and Seahawks before we meet back up.

So fans.....calm down. The trust test for these two teams hasn't even begun yet.
I agree. The said it before the game. The teams are too close. It would’ve been nice to have won yesterday because the 2nd game now will be must win.

But it’s also extremely disappointing to have 1st and goal at the 6 with a good chance to win the game. The reason they didn’t is because the Eagles defense made a play (actually 2 plays) when they had to helped by the Tyler Smith false start.

Yea, we will know how big of a point differential they can create beating bad teams. Super.

I agree. Eagles don't typically beat themselves......but they sure tried to give you that game yesterday and you have to take it. But we didn't. But no doubt in my mind we can play with them.

My mistake, I thought you were referring to the giants and commanders
Nah...nah hell naw lol. Maybe I worded it wrong i'm saying we will know after we face these dogs coming up that's when our character will be shown. Dolphins, Bills, Eagles, Seahawks....beat those teams 3-1? We're feeling different about this team or should be anyway.

the eagles clinched the division yesterday and went a long way toward clinching the number one spot in playoff seeding

Say what you want, the Eagles are a good team and good teams always find ways to win. I don't see the Eagles losing more than 2 - 3 games at the most. If we're supposed to get all excited about the possibilities of other teams doing the dirty work for the Cowboys then I hope the Cowboys don't make the playoffs and force JJ and his idiot sons to make changes for the betterment of this team. I'm personally tired of these one and done runs in the playoffs and that's exactly what's going to happen if the Boys were to get into the playoffs as a wild card of even better a number 1 seed because this club doesn't know how to beat the better clubs in this league and it shows EVERY TIME when they go head to head against them.

agree 100%... the loss stings, but it is football.

I mean the DPI was the most blatant penalty of the game and the RTP was textbook and just added yards. They got carved up and bailed out by the pass rush or specifically Steele.

There is a reason that secondary was 26th in the league going into that game and it showed.

I never said the Eagles were a bad team. They are capable of winning out. They know how to win football games especially these tough ones. They are great in the trenches and that goes a long way in winning. All i'm saying is they have to do it and they haven't done it yet. I'm a believer of waiting for teams to do it before crowning them.

Let's be real. It's over. We're not catching the Eagles. Maybe we'll get the Wildcard. The Eagles aren't going to melt down and with the kind of losses the Cowboys have been taking, I don't foresee them going on a huge run and beating tough teams.

I would like to make the playoffs but when we play a team like niners we will need to not only show up with a game plan but we have to have these penalties cleaned up. And I am not sure we can do that. We were ahead in the game yesterday and had a real chance to pull way out ahead and make them one dimensional but the penalties started up. Gallup drops a pass that I could have caught. Was plenty of room to run on that play. We started running the ball with authority and holding calls ruined the drive. We played with heart and Dak is now using his legs so that’s a huge help. But these penalties have to be cleaned up.
