barring a major injury to Hurts and several guys on D, they will be very difficult to handle. Conversely, we will need to be overachievers to remain in the hunt. We don't have the wiggle room for injury due to lack of depth.

The Cowboys have been underachievers. They have better overall talent than the eagles but still
sruggle winning the division and winning in playoffs.

we will get punched in the mouth hard this year,early and often. The East looks loaded for Bear. We look luke warm as a team. But the draft we had might be what saves us except for the fact we didn't draft a rb. On paper, Philly looks flawless.

Roseman is a dude who is in tune with his team's needs and tries to fill them. I hate the Eagles but give credit to him for that.
Hate to say it .... but the Eagles are a better front office management than what we have with the Jones. they make the more impact
trades, move and stacked drafts for the future .and they will tinker with the FA market

While we gripe and be paranoid and conservative about " cap dollars" and do the Money Ball approach.

But at the same time he has the same weaknesses he’s been having for the last few years….can’t stop the run, secondary and linebacker play…
He appears to shoot for the moon with his trades and signings. He has swung for the fences at least. But have only one SB to so far show for it. One more than us recently as a matter of fact. Again I hate the Eagles but admire how Roseman wheels and deals and how do they always seem to be under the cap and we are always penny pinching here in Dallas is above my pay grade. I guess Jerry has been swinging for the same fences as Roseman but our credit card ran out this year. So we do a reset and get young and cheap. And hopefully good in a couple three years.

He looks like he's done a better job than he did the year before. He was the architect of their collapse last year.
I believe the Cowboys and the Eagles know and knew there will be significant head coach candidates available after this next season compared to after this last season. Daboll, Tomlin, Taylor, McDermott, etc. Sirianni and McCarthy are goners. And Hurts and Prescott are not going to save either one of them. That’s how the business goes. And Roseman is no genius. That’s like an NFL “urban legend”. The Eagles exhausted $43 million in dead cap since March 2023. They lost some guys they otherwise would have liked to keep. Now they’re borrowing against the big contracts they’ve handed out, again. It’s the same as the Cowboys did. You have to pay the bill eventually. Cowboys are having to pay the bill now. Jerry Jones is the same genius as Roseman. The differences are Roseman is not spending his own money on anything team related and Jerry can’t fire himself. That’s advantage Eagles and if it’s not going to be Prescott, the Cowboys have no capable quarterback in 2025.

According to one GM, with the way set up financially, they have 2-3 years to take a swing at the Super Bowl before bills are due and/or major players will need new deals or walking papers.

Take the swing. There is no backing into a Super Bowl win. Get there, something good might happen, some thing bad might happen. You’ll never know if you don’t get in the damn game. The Eagles are trying to get in the damn game. Isn’t it the legitimate effort that fans appreciate? I’ll bet Eagles fans know Barkley won’t play more than eight games this season. He’ll get injured, as usual, but they went for it. Goofy head coach, $51 million per QB, expensive WRs, all manner of free agents most of which are worthless, but they threw down. Failure is easier to understand if there was a legitimate attempt to succeed.

I wanted Dejean on the Cowboys, he’s going to be a good Safety. Even if Dallas was picking at 40, Kool-aid might be the better pick, but Dallas probably drafts Brooks or maybe JpJ, they did get the next DE after the Eagles 16 picks later. Unless you wanted Brooks, secondary or a DT I still think Dallas got the position they wanted.
