BREAKING NEWS It's official: Cowboys vs Eagles in NFL Opener

[tomokawan]

I like it. Only the first game of the season. Get a big away game out of the way early. Nothing to lose. No pressure.

 

[calico]

I think we keep it close til late.

The same problems and mistakes from the past 25 will continue hinder this team.

 

[tomokawan]

This is not true at all but hey you keep narratives like that going and there'll be people like me coming in to shut it down he sure didn't look rusty against that Tampa Bay team that eventually won the Super Bowl and Bradys first year there he went toe to toe with Brady so let's how about this how about how the offensive line come out not flat how about the running game come out not flat how about not open the game with an easy touchdown from the defense how about I have six penalties in about 15 minutes and get behind the chains all day that is what happens in those games you're describing he looks flat.

It is what it is he doesn't need anymore reps you know many reps these guys get through all the mini camps camps training camp like they get 10 times the amount of reps somehow you guys tell me that say the 30 reps over a couple of games at most is somehow going to set them up for the regular season game one more than all of training camp yo when he scrimmages and 7 on 7 that they play how many reps did they throw balls they don't say it's not against live full speed competition is that what you think you see in preseason against spare parts I mean so our starter has to risk injury coming off an injury because you think he needs more reps after 9 years in the league and I'll have all offseason to get as many reps as he wants but sure we should put him at harm's way because you think so...

I say it's untrue and he came off a major injury in 2020 and in 2021 through 30 seven touchdowns and ten interceptions how's that for rust how is that for coming back off an injury how's that for letting the coaching staff decide if they play him in preseason at all and expose him to an unnecessary injury I don't care about the 4 or 5 quarterbacks and that's probably at most of veterans see 15 to 30 snaps in the preseason game and how that's going to help their whole season did that help Patrick Mahomes not get his **** beat in the Super Bowl 19 or 20 weeks after game one and by the way Patrick Mahomes hasn't looked good in two years I mean he still looked solid but he hasn't lived his own reputation so all those reps and preseason how little they are isn't technically helping his game because they won more with the run game and defense and coaching the last two years and then depending on Patrick Mahomes to do it all...​

Exactly, they seem to forget. Dak is usually sharp the first game.

You read all of that? lol

of course not; I had enough sleep already today

 

[tomokawan]

Can't remember the last time we played in Philly in the first quarter of the season, let alone this early. At least it will be an early wakeup call if they don't play well. Nothing worse than an early soft schedule that gives this team a big head only to come crashing back to Earth.

Excellent post!

What are you trying to sell me i'm the one here defending Prescott??

I don't need an update on history,

I know his history ,

there's other people around here that believe otherwise but Prescott's a very good quarterback he's top 10 at works he's top five on some years and our problems in the playoffs are not the quarterback and that's a fact nobody wants to hear about the penalties and no run game and no offensive line and bag coaching and bad defense they just want to blame the quarterback.....

Stop with the top 10 non sense.. please. I get it you are the biggest Stan here next to the bozo who decided to show up again but its comical at this point that you will die on that hill that he is a top 10 QB

No particular order:

Allen
Stafford
Mahomes
Jackson
Stroud
Daniels
Hurts
Love
Burrow
Goff


Honestly tell me who you are taking out of this list to move Dak in over? And btw this leaves out Herbert, Bryce Young, and Bo Nix who you can argue could be ahead of Dak.

If Dak stays healthy and comes out and puts up the numbers and wins a "a single" playoff game then sure let's revisit.... but you guys really need to stop holding on to the "1 vote MVP runner up" year.

 

[plymkr]

Now official. Cowboys will open at Filly on Thurs, Sept. 4th.

We will know a lot about our new and hopefully improved Cowboys right off the bat.
I like this because I always want to be measured by the best. Nothing would be sweeter than spoiling their banner raising night.

I got a feeling we’re going to open with Philly and then play them week 18 to finish the year. Just pure speculation on my end. I also think we’ll play the Giants on thanksgiving or the Raiders. I think the NFL likes giving games we’re favored on Thanksgiving.

Daniels has played one freaking year.

 

[5Stars]

Daniels has played one freaking year.

What about the others that he listed then?

 

[cald0d30s0]

Easy for Fangio, just rush with 4 and let Dak throw an interception party.

Lol, many people here will disappear on game 1.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Daniels has played one freaking year.

Yes and he already looks a thousand times better than Dak. And it appears he doesn't crumble under pressure.

 

[Ranching]

0-1.

You're much worse than that...it's good to be positive, but don't fool yourself either. You're 0-1 every morning when you wake up.

 

[75boyz]

Easy for Fangio, just rush with 4 and let Dak throw an interception party.

Lol, many people here will disappear on game 1.

Or load the box to stop the run and force SleepNumber to beat you.
Either way.
So yeah, Dak versus Fangio.
Not a matchup I find in Dallas's favor at all.

 

[leeblair]

That game could get very ugly if the Eagles don't take their foot off the gas.
Assuming they are anywhere near what they were last season it could be the first nail.

 

[acr731]

Daniels has played one freaking year.

Dak has played 9 - what does he have to show for it?

 

[KJJ]

The last time the Cowboys faced Philly in the season opener was when Campo made his rookie head coaching debut in 2000. The Cowboys got destroyed in what was known as the pickle juice game.

 

[DandyDon52]

How do you know that? Nobody has seen him coach yet, as a head coach. Then you call him Shotty as if he was one of your best friends. lmao

Well you dont know that either lol.
I hope he is different than the last 2 HC 's .
As for calling him shotty, that is just easier to type than his real last name. It is either that or call
him Brian.
So nothing wrong with calling him shotty or Shot etc.

 

[leeblair]

Dak has played 9 - what does he have to show for it?

Big stats from facing weak teams and playing against prevent defenses, and a back pocket full of money.
Just wait; when he crashes and burns this season and next season, his fans will be demanding he be enshrined in the Ring of Honor, his number retired, and the Hall of Fame in five years because of his stats.
His number should be retired after he's gone. The Cowboys should never want to see #4 on the field again after the way he's hurt the team.

 

[DandyDon52]

Dak beats the eagles more than he loses. Pretty simple really.

no , most of the time last few years hurts is out or dak is out so they dont play each other.
That record goes back to when phil was a crap team also.
They both should play in this 1st game, and it is in phil, on grass I think, and is outdoors.

Dallas should lose this one, but only if shotty has the team prepared, and is innovative and
aggressive, will they have a chance to upset eagles.

I remember that game. Deuce Staley if I recall went wild. Who knows maybe our Deuce will go wild this time.
