Dallas 1 of 7 on 3rd down, Philly 1 of 4 on 3rd and 0 of 2 on 4th down.

Gracious.

I'll say this for them.....its probably a bad game to watch but its far more entertaining then what I've seen from this team in recent weeks. Also kind of cool to see how deep they can go into the playbook.

Trying to second guess can we pull this off, and believe it or not remain positive given the teams "problems"
Philly have stopped using the run as much, and CW is a liability all day long.
I really don't know which hero or clown from either team will take center stage and either snatch defeat from the jaws of victory or pull off something similar to that end of half FG.

Ya because Romo was so damn successful but hey we got the Nooch he’s gonna be a savior

Romo was successful when he actually had control in 2014. This RG was him and Linehan’s offense. It was their design after Garrett was effectively banished from the offense by Jerry Jones.

This is truly unbelievable. I honestly haven't ever seen a team completely unable to get the ball in the hands of their stars. At any level from high school, to college and into the pros.

Does make me wonder if Griffin, Poe, and Worley were cancers to the defense?

I think it's more a combination of the Eagles being pretty bad and us deciding to be more aggressive.

I must say he isn’t lighting it up but DaNooch looks comfortable out there. 7th rounder. It’s amazing.

I’m interested to see how he responds second half. It’s obviously a night where he doesn’t have to do to much. Can he keep a calm demeanor be a bus driver and get a w?

We’re so bad we can’t even lose right. This is the worst team in franchise history and we can’t even not win the division.

Dak is mediocre as we wasted five years with this experiment. This offense has been built with Dak on mind. We are hear because of Dak. This year every defender was jumping his garbage passes on play action as he stared down his WRs.

The moment they started Dak over Romo is the moment it led to this very path.

I’ve been saying if that the Sb window was short but they chose short term success in a completely simplified offense over an actual franchise QB.

That may be true, but Dallas can't keep this guy on the field right now. I don't see Dallas repeating the good fortune they had in the first half.

Let him play and see if he can settle down. He had a number of chances to hit open receivers and didn't.

I think we're being a little too cute with it. Either we're predictable on first down with a run or we throw something short or tricky. I know that this offensive line doesn't give us much confidence, but we need some play-action on first down and try to get those receivers one-on-one.

Right now, DiNucci is mainly trying to throw downfield only when the defense is expecting it and has over-under coverage on the receivers. Get some single coverage and give the receivers a shot to make plays.

I just don't see how the best option to keep the game manageable for your QB is to run all these misdirections and trick plays.

Play the Eagles straight up, and let the chips fall where they fall.

Randy Gregory will get a few sacks on Wentz, or pressure. Hoping to result in fumbles and picks.

From bleeding green...

The PA announcer should just tell the fans to go home now. Nothing more to see here.
