Been thinking about this game with Philly this week. I HATE the Eagles. Can't stand em. I desperately want Dallas to destroy them. I really hope my analysis is wrong and I HAVE to eat crow on Monday.
BUT-- I can't shake the read I have on Dallas and this upcoming game. In looking at where both of these teams are right now-- even though they both are at 3-3 and have had their share of ups and downs-- these squads appear miles apart to me.
Why?
Philly is getting healthy in the secondary and D Jax is coming back. Dallas? CBs hurting. OL hurting. WRs hurting.
Mentality? Pedersen confident and calling a W. Dallas? SSDD. No emotion. No passion evident. No responding shot fired.
Matchups? Philly offense vs our D is scary. Ertz kills us regularly. D Jax historically kills us. We can't stop the run. Poor pass rush. Advantage Philly. Dallas Offense vs Philly D? Cooper likely to miss. Beat up OL taking on a highly aggressive quality DL? Trouble for sure.
Who has the buzz saw coming into this game? I can easily see Philly coming out aggressive and swinging. Bringing a more physical game-- and I can easily see Garrett and company crawling into their conservative shell and going into shellshock.
Who has the body language of a team with fighting spirit? Philly for sure. Dallas looks like a deer in head lights. Especially on Defense. We have decided to run the "Bend over and Break down and Cry" defense.
In the end-- as much as I hope I am wrong-- I see a one sided beatdown coming on Sunday.
Philly 38
Dallas 21
I hope and pray I am wrong and get to eat my prediction on Mon. Sorry fellow fans. I have zero confidence in this coaching staff to pull this team out of it's death spiral this week.
