Cowboys in a fight for division

[Joe Realist]

It will come down to Jan 1 in Philly.

Wentz will play better Sunday night. It will be a touchdown or less difference.

I am more concerned with the Commanders over the long run than the Eagles. But for this week I am more concerned with the Eagles.
It won't be easy against them. But sure hope I am wrong and it will be easy to beat them.

i fear no team, but respect them all

Not even close. The Eagles will be 3 games behind by that time. Jan 1 will be a formality.

Too inconsistent. Their defense sucks and Bell was still suspended. So, no, I don't consider them a good team (healthy Ben or not). They got dominated by Philly and Miami with a healthy Ben (Miami was whipping their ***** well before Ben got injured).

Philly's defense has shown it can wreck a game. They've also gone through terrible stretches of play in two of the last three weeks.

The ability to run against them will be huge. Philly played great today, but we also saw Minnesota's complete lack of offensive punch finally rear its head. Stopping McKinnon with a line missing its starting tackles is a different challenge from stopping Zeke and what is likely the best line in the game.

We've got to win the battle up front. If we do, I think we win the game.

Eagles offense is basically dependent on Sproles having a good game,If we contain Sproles then we win.Hope to see Tank get in a sack or two against the backup RT.

For us beating the Eagles next week...

 

[CVN68_Cowboys]

Let that city full of Andrew Dice Clay clones bring the fight to us. Love our chances.

 

[Fmart322]

Not in a fight at all. Pretty clear we are the number one team in the division by far. Eagles defense is one of the most overrated I've seen in a while

We're the number 1 seed in the NFC right now.

 

[Cowboys22]

Go look at philly and skins schedule. They will both be a non factor 6 weeks from now.

No it won't. Go look at their schedule. If we can't stay 2-3 games ahead of them with our schedule, then things went south real bad in Dallas.

 

[CWR]

It's like every time we're good, the NFC East is highly competitive. When we suck, the East takes a break.

Unreal how that works.

 

[DandyDon1722]

Im definitely not feeeling as confident after watching Eagles dominate Vikings who were considered best team in NFC at this point.

I don't think it's even close. We care clearly the best team in the division and nobody scares me. Remember, Wentz played with a lead the entire game, it'll be a different story when he's playing catch up.

Eli was mediocre again today and Washington choked one away.

The only team in the Division that can beat us is us.

 

[JJHLH1]

With Minny losing we'll have #1 seed due to better conference record.

The Cowboys and Vikings both have one loss, but the Cowboys loss was to a division opponent. Wouldn't that give the Vikings the #1 seed? Of course it's way too early to be thinking about this. I just hope we beat Philadelphia next Sunday.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

If Wentz keeps forcing bad throws, especially into triple coverage, there's no way their DST will keep continually bailing them out....not against any type of decent offense that will finish off those short drives from the T/Os.

I'm not worried about the Eagles or the Vikings. I'm worried about injuries. If we stay healthy, especially key players like Mo, B.Jones, Lee, Zeke, Beasley, Witten, T. McClain, T.Will (yes, T.Will) and at O-line, I don't think there are but a few teams that can take us out barring some fluke T/Os/ST plays.

Overrated how though?

They have a strong DL. Great pass rush. I would take that overrated DL all day, everyday.

I respect Schwartz's scheme. But they are used to playing one-dimensional.

The Commanders shut them down because they can run and their OL matches up well.

This game was a lot like the Pittsburgh game. They did the little things to break will.

And that defense did what it does best, be aggressive. That is the key with them.

I have many many more reasons to squash the Eagles other than worrying about the bye at this stage.

I just want to beat them because.

Conference record is the tiebreaker for non-division opponents... after head-to-head.
Minnesota has a really good defense but we can run on anybody. They're olive is in shambles... no run game.
Of course, we play them on the road so that may tighten the game up. I still think we win that game.

As for Philly next week, you can put it in three inch headlines; WE WII WIN THE BALLGAME.

They have a good pass rush and an opportunistic secondary that takes advantage of the pass rush. That's really about it.

They're giving up almost 5 yards a carry, and that's two weeks in a row Wentz has looked completely pedestrian, with today being just bad. If he's not taking sacks like he did against Wash, he's turning it over like he did today against Minn.

They're completely mediocre on offense, league average in just about everything, and now with the sieve at RT i'd expect them to do worse.

Minnesota is just a complete disaster on offense. Between OL injuries, AD out, the worst rushing attack in the league or close to it, no playmakers to catch anything besides Diggs. And Bradford. Their defense is legit, but they haven't played a team that can actually run the ball.

I'd have little problem saying Dallas, as of right now, looks to be the most complete team in the NFC. Having two of the 'better' teams with weaknesses along the OL and severely lacking playmakers, our defensive weaknesses aren't looking to be that much of a hindrance. Considering both teams rely mostly on their pass rush to win games, our OL and run game balances that out pretty nicely.

This is a weird season but it's shaping up to be one where Dallas actually might be the best team in the conference. Haha. Crazy.

They have a average Dline, ****** linebackers and a poor secondary. Only two players competent on that d are Cox and Kendricks, even he has played poor this year. We will run down their throats with ease
