Can this team win a potential round 3 against Philly?

As excited as we are all about that win yesterday, that game was largely irrelevant because we arent going to win the division and Philly will clinch everything with a win against the Saints next week.

Hurts didnt play and the defense still gave up 27 points and was getting torched through the air. Unfortunately, we dont have any reinforcements coming to help our passing defense.

The solace we can take from that game was they came into that game mostly healthy on defense, and they couldnt do a thing to stop our own passing attack.

If we are going to get to where we want to go, we have to be able to beat this team, and most likely it will be in the Divisional Round. After what you saw on that football field, do you honestly believe we can beat that team in Philly with Jalen Hurts back or will this win be the highlight of our season?

well, if we lose this game, it would be a mental edge for Philly, that we beat you with our back up...but Dallas putting up 40 was the message that we will score on you....

if Hurts plays the next game when we play, it will be interesting...both teams will be ready. it will be an all out football war. the winner gets the NFCCG....

It'll be different facing that offense in January, outdoors. They don't have to contend with any elements in Jerry's world. It will be more of a grind it out game (assuming we win the WC)

Yes. They are both very good but flawed teams. Could go either way in the rubber match.

Saying that, if I had to lay money, I'd probably lay it on them. They've been more consistent. And unlike our guys they haven't really learned how to lose yet.

Philadelphia will be the favorite and the weather won’t be as good but I think this a tougher Cowboys team then in the past. The Cowboys can beat the Eagles even with Hurts. I thought Minshew looked better then Hurts when he played us earlier in the season. The 49ers are the team to worry about though.

I would have to say NO, the odds are stacked against them and there is not much to hang your hat on. Yeah, Dallas scored 40, but philly kept giving it to the Cowboys and it seemed the Cowboys didn't want it. This game should not have been that close with all the turnovers and chances Dallas had. And of course it was their backup QB, who was pretty solid against Dallas D. You can imagine Hurts making some yards on his runs which is a major Dallas weakness. And then you have Dak who seems to shrink in the playoffs. If Dallas makes it past the WC, which is a big if.., it will take philly to implode like they did yesterday and hand it over to the Cowboys. So we will have to hope it happens again. We shall see.

They Can win, they just have to do it. Notable things they need to do to win: re-establish contain and a great pass rush, no turnovers to them, go out hot on offense and sustain that through the game... and force at least 2 to 3 turnovers they capitalize on.

I doubt it. They are talented and their coaches are so much smarter. They will come up with something that takes Dallas three quarters to adjust to.
