Lots of Eagles injured, can we take advantage?

McLeod--out (starter)
Johnson--out (starter)
Sproles--still out (sometime starter, general PITA when playing)
Ajayi--out (starter)
Peters--torn bicep, bruised quad, will be in and out of lineup as usual (starter)
Wallace--out (deep threat)
Hollins--out
Mills--out (starter)
Jones--??? (key nickel DB)
Marigos--special team ace still out
Jernigan--might finally play, probably not (starter)
Ngata--never know week to week

Well, can we do it despite our injuries? They have lost four games by a total of 15 points.

Blimey! Dolts.
Does. It. Really. Matter?

Have we sunk this low? To depend on others' distress for success?
I say no!
We used to be champions, mates!
Arise!

No offense, but are you new to watching Cowboy games under Garrett:huh:

God, I hope not. Will glady sacrifice the season if it means running Garrett out of town.

It's for the long term health of the team.

This is where I am at too...………….I hope the Eagles give us one hell of a beat down and Garrett is fired on the plane ride home.

If anybody thinks that doesn't make me a "real fan"...……...dont care...……..they can suck it if they dont like it!!!

If you inserted Jaworski in as QB, this team would still lose by ten.

Don't laugh but I have a feeling we're going to upset the Eagles and for the time being, stop all the talk about Garrett being fired. This is exactly the kind of game these coaches are known for winning. Other words, this is a crossroad game for Garrett. Win and you're right back in the thick of things but lose, you're pretty much done.

The only thing that makes me think we have a chance of NOT getting curb stomped by Philly is that usually JG tanks until the very last second where it looks like it’s so bad he will get fired and he will do his job and we play well

The only thing that could possibly stop 'all the talk about Garrett being fired' is Garrett being fired.

This is exactly the type of game the cowboys win..
Just because it literally make no logical sense and because it's complete fools gold..

Watch dak throw for 300, 3 tds and zeke add another rushing....i honestly would not he surprised.....and then watch them get blown out the next week

Lane Johnson will play with an MCL sprain. Sproles was set to come back and he re-injured his hammy, feel bad for him. This was his last year and he’s played one game.

I see this game being closer than most expect. The Eagles O hasn’t been great getting TD’s and not FG’s which keeps teams in it. The D has been vulnerable to the big play. If Dallas can establish the run (that will be tough) and Dak takes his shots they can easily stick around and try an steal one.

To me this is a tale of two teams that seem to be going in different directions but since the NFL is so week to week that could easily change.

This team under Garrett has never taken advantage of the other teams injuries, it's almost like they don't pay attention to them due to the whole 'We focus on ourselves' schlock. If anything, teams with backups play way beyond their means vs our vanilla team.

Why plan anything? Garrett entire scheme is based on FIGHT! In fact, our scheme is so vanilla, that teams don't even have to plan much against us.

Are you forgetting the Cowboys just got beat by 2 TDs by the Titans? They really suck. The Iggles are just injured. They still have enough championship pedigree playing this game to end it by halftime.

Do they still have Wentz?

This game will be over before halftime.

HBO usually has good Sunday night programs.
