Eagles vs Bears - Black Friday Thread

[Aerolithe_Lion]

It’s fun seeing Brown finally get his wishes at the expense of the team. I told you way back, a cancer.

Probably not the best word to use. Cancer often does the opposite of making you immortal

Lol.

Jalen Hurts is like McDonald’s

If you rate McDonald’s hamburgers on any of the scales that define a quality hamburger, it’s going to rank very very poorly. Bun consistency, meat freshness, condiment quality, size, healthiness, sear, juiciness, whatever. McDonald’s does not make very good hamburgers; but what they do make is really good McDonald’s. It’s not really a hamburger as much as a weird meat sandwich they sell that tastes really good.

If you ask Jalen Hurts to run Matt Ryan’s offense or Philip Rivers’ offense or Drew Brees’ offense or even Dak Prescott’s offense, it’s probably gonna look like this. But if you ask Jalen to run what works for him, it’ll be cheesy and unconventional and sometimes even impractical… but it has worked, really well up until this year. Weird, poorly rated burgers are super popular for a reason.

Kevin Patullo just doesn’t understand what that is supposed to look like

I made a post after the trade for Q of how much a difference an elite DT makes. I was attacked relentlessly.

Ya sometimes these reactions in here are hard to predict sometimes they aren’t

I would think 99% of the fan base would know that we’ve needed one for a long time not sure why they’d attack you for that

Ya I think that’s our best hope now

And it's our best hope for a long playoff run. Getting a WC means we probably just make it. If we want a playoff appearance to actually mean something, then we probably need the division so we can have a home playoff game. I think a home playoff game by winning the division is the best way to make it count.

IM starting to think this loss was better than a bears loss. This team is just not that good... so similar to 2023 is about to happen. They can not run the ball at all, and Hurts is just not consistent enough as a passer. I bet they end up 10-7 at best.

doesnt matter really... does it> We were unbeaten at home in 2023 werent we??? And then we got a beat down by the Packers..... AT HOME in the playoffs.

That'd be ideal. If we can catch up to them on wins and take the division, we have a real shot at doing something.

I was torn as well and there's opinions all over the Internet split right in half on what we were supposed to be as Cowboy fans hoping for but the fact is they gave up two 160 yards on the ground now not only do their offense look shaky their defense looks shaky and maybe we have a shot at the division which is an automatic In for the playoffs.

Not expecting to go to the playoffs either way so having the Eagles lose just feels right..lol.

Me too but I’m not picky I’ll take any playoff position

Do you think this is the same team that we had then? Do you think this is the type of team that will fold like that? Furthermore, if we are going to have a chance, I think I'd rather our chances at home than on the road.

Yeah we said that in 2023.... 2nd seed LOL or were we the #1 ? Either way that didn't turn out well uh...

Same here, but I think if we can steal the division, we have a better chance at doing something.

I think this team is different than that one. This team has a lot more fight. Do you think that the 2023 Cowboys would come back from 21-0 down? Or beat the Chiefs four days later?

T

That's fine, but why does it matter if you go for two at the end of the game rather than there? You go for two early and miss and you know how desperate you need to be. If you wait until your second score and miss, then you are still two points short and you had no knowledge of whether you needed to conserve time as much as possible or not.

I'd rather have the knowledge of what I need rather than feeling like I'm within a TD and conversion only to come up short on the conversion. At least missing on it early, I know I need to do what Philly tried, to take the FG as soon as possible and try to get the ball back for a Hail Mary.

Going for 2 made zero sense.

If you miss the 2 now you have to kick an onsides. With the current rules that’s a low chance play.

If you take 1 there you don’t need to worry about recovering an onsides kick. Yiu kick deep, play D and hope for a stop. You get the ball back with over a minute, no TO’s needing 8.

Taking 1 keeps you in the game longer,

Nashon Wright is a player now, fans here are so impatient with young guys.

 

[JustChip]

Herbert will carve them up. They are in the playoff hunt and will be on the outside looking in if they lose

Normally, but the Chargers OL vs. the Eagles DL is a mismatch.

At this point, it's all the same for us. We have to win out period, and hope for others to collapse.

If they win out, we still have to hope for some collapses. We're totally not in control.

I dont disagree... we clearly are better at home, but we were damn good at home in 2023 also.

 

[CWR]

i think that the cowboys are going to have a hard time beating the chargers also.

Yeah me too. Chargers and Lions will be tough.

Looking at scenarios, it appears a few fanbases--including ours--would like to see the Vikings beat the Seahawks and the Browns beat the 49ers this weekend.
