I enjoyed it, went to undergrad and grad there; the city itself and cretin Egirl fans? That’s a different story
The city itself and the Eagles fans have never been a problem for me. I just think like most things if it's not what your pov is people find ways to exaggerate how bad the other side is. Its not just you but people in general. I see people say every fan group is blah blah blah when they are all the same just most don't pay attention to those in their own groups madness.

I think you guys are being a little hard on Cobb. On paper it looks like a bad game but he did make some plays.

Both penalties were pretty weak. The fumble was a good play by the defender. Cobb had it tucked but was hit right on the ball just as he turned into the defender. That would be tough for anyone to not cough up.

The "drop" at the two was another Dak special. Low and behind forcing him to adjust when he no doubt expected it to be up and out front, away from the closely trailing defender.
He should’ve had two hands on the ball. He was trying to do too much.

It was bs. Can't even play football anymore. All the penalties are making the game unwatchable. I had to walk away several times because of the flags. Refs lost control early.

If you notice, I kept coming back for more mental anguish and punishment. It only took 3+ quarters for us to get it together.

The shaded officiating instigated a lot of the fighting if you asked me. That BS unsportsmanlike call on the sideline that clearly should have been on the Giants set it off.

But hey, it was MNF and the ref's job is to stop the game from becoming a blowout. You might be surprised to know how half a dozen holding calls on one team literally takes points off the board. Sprinkle in a few rarely seen "lined up in the neutral zone" or "lineman not lined up on the LOS" calls along with a few other BS calls and you can keep almost any game competitive.

Tbh, anyone not named Ezekiel Elliott on that offense didn't really put us in a good situation. Jarwin had a great TD, Gallup's natural clumsiness came in handy with the way he flew into the endzone, and that pass to Coop from Dak was pure chemistry and a good play call, but besides those plays, I can't really think of anything the offense did that made me jump out of my seat/get giddy. They played very sloppy in the first half, and they cleaned it up in the 2nd half, but not by much.

Don't forget that Cobb and Dak connected on that TD that was taken back smh.

I don't think it was a horrible call. It is however a horrible rule

I think they are trying to get rid of what Tate did to Lee a few years ago. Cobb didn't even really "block" him, kind of just threw his back into him. Definitely need to look at rules if that is a penalty
