Never seen a team implode like that.

I mean you see teams fall apart when their QB goes down or they got mauled/destroyed by injuries to multiple key players.

But the Eagles went from 10-1 (which was, in honesty, a fraud 10-1) to then looking like the worst team in the league over their next 5 games, going 1-4 with blowout losses to us and he 49ers and losing to a TERRIBLE Cards team at home.
We have a collection of implosions.......simmer down.

Which player did Detroit call eligible?
Apparently, the guy who caught the ball. But because they were trying to be sly about it, Campbell also had two other O-Linemen walk over to the official too and because the official appeared to be walking away when they were walking up to the official, I believe that's where things got all out of whack for the official. But even with all the BS that was going on after the Detroit TD, a penalty was called on Detroit the Boys stopped Detroit's 2nd attempt at the conversation only to have Parsons blow it by being offsides!!!!!!!! When Detroit went for it for a third time, the Boys were late coving the RB back and if it weren't for a bad pass by Goff they WOULD have scored the 2 point conversion. Sometimes you need a whole lot of luck in the NFL to win a game and the Boys used up all their lucky chips on that last Detroit possession and now will have to rely on their own ability to win against Washington if they want to win the Eastern Division. I don't expect Washington to just rollover for the Boys, so I hope that they pack their hearts and guts for this game because it's going to be a wild one that Washington is going to play hard and try to win for Rivera's last game with them.

The defense held onto what?????? Detroit marched down the field like they were playing against a Practice Squad defense, it was bad, really bad. The Boys were fortunate that Goff's swing pass was low and away to his RB because had it been on target they would have scored on that two-point conversion. The defense in the second half of this season has been undiscipline and horrible, it's not the defense that we've all grown to love and respect. Quinn needs to get his butt out of the luxury box and down on the sidelines so that he can look his players in the face when things are going bad.
Honestly i dont think the d has done too bad. 19 points seems pretty good if u ask me.

The Cowboys are clearly better than the Eagles..........?????????? After watching Detroit on their last possession punk the Boys all the way down the field and should of or could have beat us if it weren't for the help of the officials, I don't see a clear separation between the two clubs. Personally, I'm sick and tired of teams abusing our defense when it matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Boys went down to Arizona and got their lunch handed to them by a bunch of bottom feeders. The defense couldn't stop Arizona all day long and they couldn't stop Detroit when they needed a great defensive stand. Keep dreaming that the Cowboy defense is better than the Eagles, because it's not. This second half of the season has been like the movie Ground Hog Day for the defense, they keep getting beat against the run over and over and over again.....LOL!
Buddy if you think the Eagles D is better than Dallas I have some swamp land for you in Florida. Must be one of of the dumbest comments of the year. You’re obviously an Eagle fan.

How much?????? I'll take two acres and a side order of fries..............LOL! All I'm saying is the Cowboy's defense that has been advertised as one of the best in the NFL is no more. Since the start of the second half of this season I've witnessed a defense that teams are abusing with their run game and that last drive of Detroit's when the Cowboys needed a big stop was nowhere to be found. Both the Eagle's and Cowboy's defenses have been pitiful and ARE about on the same level as each other.....................

if the refs called the game right, it would have never come down to that last drive. am I concerned about the last drive? yes. am I concerned about defense's ability to make crucial stops? yes. same thing happened in Miami game. but the phantom call against Hendershot screwed us and gave life to detroit, so I don't want to hear about help from officials. Officials helped put detroit into that situation to begin with. if not for that then we held detroit high flying offense to 13 points.

hopefully referering will be better in playoffs and Parsons gets some holding calls and we don't get phantom penalties.

The defense got lucky against a good Detroit team. When they had to have a stop on Detroit's last drive the defense went MIA and that could be said about the Buffalo and Miami games too. Against the better teams in the league this defense cannot hold it's own when those teams decided to run the ball. If this club wants to be considered the next bully in the Eastern division then it has to stop teams from running up and down the field. This game against Washington is going to say a lot about how good this team really is or are they on pare with the broken wing Eagles................

I totally agree with you on that Hendershot call, it was as bad as it gets, BUT with that said when the Boys had to have that stop, had to get to Goff, had to bow their backs, what happen????????? Detroit marched down field like the Boys weren't even on the field with them. It was bad, really bad to watch players running around looking lost out there. I realize that Quinn put them in their prevent D, but I'm sure when this defense was ran in practice it didn't look as bad as they looked on that last drive and if they did Quinn should be fired for calling the same defensive play, play after play. The Cowboys were lucky Goff was QBing Detroit instead of Purty or some other good QB on their last attempt at that 2 point conversion because their running back was open and had a clear lane to the end of the end zone had the pass been on target. For some reason whomever was responsible for that RB got over to him late, which shouldn't have happened. It's the little things that are going to kill this club from getting deep into the playoffs and Quinn better clean them up.................

oh, I don't disagree. I like to see this defense make a stop when it needs to against better teams. so far we haven't. Bills, Miami and even Detroit. and that's pretty much every team in the playoffs. there are no cupcakes.

Apparently no one was paying attention. Because to those of us who were this is no surprise. Sooner or later it was going to catch up with them. My only surprise is that it took this long. The Eagles crashing back down to earth is very satisfying to witness. All off season there were some who said they lost to much to be contenders this year. They were right.
They are apparently this years version of last year's Vikings.

The real head scratcher is how little pressure their uber talented defensive line is getting.

At this point, I think half the NFC is.

They could easily be 7-9 right now. Easily. They barely won most of their games.

And they're 1-4 in their last 5.
yet they beat the best teams like cowboys,chiefs,bills, dolphins i dont buy it, they need to play better on defence,

They just held Dolphins and Detroit two of the top defenses in the league to measly points. You do realize that that stupid prevent defense against the lions allowed that last drive. Guess you didn’t watch the turnovers the D had versus the lions. Comparing Dallas D to the Eagles is laughable. Don’t let me bring out the stats to prove how wrong you are because it’s not even close. Eagles D is horrific.
