Cowboy players respond to the Eagles coach's rivalry shirt

[Hawkeye0202]

Love it ........likely won't mean do do once the game starts but nice little sidebar fun. Speaking for myself, of all three divisional teams I simply can't stand the Eagles. WFT and Giants I can halfway tolerate but Eagles, hell no........lol

Cornerback Trevon Diggs’ eyebrows shot up when he heard.

Receiver CeeDee Lamb’s eyes widened, too.


But it was Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, perhaps more comfortable as a veteran, who spoke unguarded. Would he want head coach Mike McCarthy arriving to work in a “Beat Philly” shirt?

“No,” the sixth-year pro quipped. “We stay in our lane.”

Philadelphia first year coach Nick Sirianni stirred the pot of the NFC East rivalry when he met with reporters Thursday wearing a shirt featuring a pair of Cowboys and Eagles helmets facing off, Jori Epstein of USA Today reports. In bolded black letters, outlined further in white, the word “BEAT” spanned Sirianni’s chest. Below the helmets, “DALLAS.”

“I can’t tell you how many times since I’ve been here I’ve been having an interaction with a fan and it’s like, ‘Hey: Beat Dallas,’” Sirianni said. “I’ll be wearing this all week. My kids got it. My wife has one. And yeah, we’ll be wearing them.”

Diggs said that as he focuses on the Cowboys’ game plan and preparation, “it don’t bother me.”

Sirianni is just one of these rookie coaches trying to change culture etc. They also practiced last week before SF at the stadium, something they have never done. Just a bunch of gimmicks similar to JG and his bologna.

This Eagles coach just seems like a dork. He's trying to hard. He should focus on the game in front of him instead of a stupid t-shirt he think it's going to fire his guys up and get in our guys head.

Hopefully our guys make him rethink doing things like this in the future.

Dallas is in their heads. The game very much mental. And this may backfire on them.
And have Dallas on their t-shirts proves it. People won't see it as ... go beat Dallas ... They will see it as ... The Dallas Cowboys, oh crap ...

I just hope we don't respond by wearing these dumb things again.

Dallas is better, and SHOULD win, as long as they show up focused, and have a good game plan. Philly seems more bitter and desperate, and division games are usually hard fought and unpredictable, but an Eagle win would be a fluke.

 

[cowboyec]

we're the better team.
we just need to handle home business.

Yup, rent free.

What's wrong with the guy wearing that shirt? What does "we stay in our lanes" even mean?

The HC is plugged into the fandom unlike any before him except Buddy Ryan who fed that "we hate Dallas more than we love ourselves" feeling that has always been a part of that Eagles fan base. The Giants or Skins could win a ring and no big deal but Dallas?

Most of their fans do not know much about this guy and he sure didn't win them over with that bizarre welcoming press conference but I like what he is doing. He's showing his fan side to the fans. He gets it, this is the team they'd rather beat than any other.

I lived up there for 3 years and I can attest to the fact the Dallas hate is real and it has been there for a long time. Philly is the most blue collar city in the division and Dallas the most white collar and just a little too proud of that for the Philly fans.

They will be talking alot more if we dont force Hurts into 3rd and long situations and actually make him pass

I'm sure Sirianni will have his guys jacked up and sky high. I have always felt you weather the storm and take their best shots and then the game settles down where all the hype and off the field crap no longer matters, then you get down to business of executing and performing.

Exactly. Probably a few fisticuffs first few plays. The full-on donnybrook will be saved for game 2 week 18.

Go Cowboys!

 

[CouchCoach]

Sigh, those days are gone forever because these guys know they could be playing for that other team soon. Hell, we've already had Ray Lewis hinting at being a Cowboys and Earl Thomas actually asking to be a Cowboy at the game they just beat Dallas in.

Gone are those days of Harvey Martin throwing that funeral wreath into the Skins locker room after beating them. He felt bad afterwards because the team actually had nothing to do with sending that in the first place, it was a Skins fan that sent it. But that was still one of my high points in rivalry football. I used to live for those games every season.

I just hope we don't respond by wearing these dumb things again.

When Garrett was here I was always wondering if the players would even start the fight, much less finish it.

 

[Lutonio]

I just hope we don't respond by wearing these dumb things again.

This morning, I woke up in a wonderful world where I had forgotten this.

Now you’ve snatched that paradise away from me. I don’t know if I can ever forgive you.

If they went 2-15 every year, their fans would be satisfied if those 2 were against us. They have “Dallas Week”, for God’s sake. I know every team has rivals, but even their drafts are sometimes affected by the Cowboys. One local pub has a green school bus with a big “Dallas Sucks” sign, and our indifferent snark drives them into a foaming frenzy. Far too many Philly fans don’t know how to handle success—climbing light poles, overturning cars and setting fires is a tradition. They eat road apples, boo Santa Claus and throw snowballs packed around D batteries.
