Near zero probability of winning with 3 INTs vs a good team.

The defense held the Eagles to the 2nd lowest total yards and lowest passing yards of any opponent this season.

The Eagles offense had a short field multiple times. The 85 Bears defense would not win that type of game.

Kudos to Rush, but he failed hard last night. Good news is this makes it an easy transition back to Dak. Time for anyone hoping for a qb controversy to move on. Time to put the ball back in the hands of Dak and see if he can get this team over the hump. No reason to look back

Cooper Rush failed last night, but overall it's been a good run.

4-1 as a starter this season.

He set us up nicely to go on a run and make the playoffs.

Many projected (myself included) we would be 1-5 or 2-4 at this point
Yeah. He was a success. If anybody told you at the beginning of the season we lose Dak for games 2-6 and that we go 4-1 through that stretch you would have said "sign me up"!!

Oh I agree. Good positioning for the rest of the season with Dak returning this week and Washington coming back in the next month.

Take away those mistakes and MM needs to challenge plays that are obvious mistakes made by refs. It was a first down. Take those mistakes and it’s closer.

2 in their zone and the failed 4th down at their 30 was too much to overcome.

Or maybe the Eagles are just better. Better offense, one of the best DB core in football, better coach, better GM.

Rush made plenty of mistakes, but he had a near zero margin of error entering the game. That quick start by the Eagles sealed the game. But in the end, the Eagles are just a better team.

Yeah, pile on Rush....what a surprise. Yes, he played poorly the 1st half and his 3 INT's were bad. However, he led Dallas back to a 20-17 deficit early in the 4th quarter and the defense failed to stop Philly from driving 75 yards in 8:00 to seal the game. Also, what about the stupid 4th and 1 pass call on their own 30 down 14-0, the failure to challenge the result of the preceeding 3rd down play, and the piss poor OC's decision to go pass happy when the running game was working in the 1st half????? Oh, and what about all the bad penalties?????

So just like so many say Dak isn;t to blame for everything in a loss, neither is Rush.
