Game Day ***Cowboys vs Eagles Post game thread***

[Risen Star]

So while you're lamenting our run game and the loss of Murray, look toward the Eagles. They are proving the opposite. Maybe you need a line and a back?

 

[Floatyworm]

I wonder if Kyle Orton would want to get off his couch and make a few million dollars...He had a QB rating of 87.8 for the Bills last year, 18 TD 10 Int.

That bridge has been burnt.....

R-E-L-A- X


KELLEN'S GOT THIS!!!!!!

 

[Risen Star]

How much of a cap hit do we take releasing Romo in the offseason? He's too expensive as a backup.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I can and will.

I'm trying to myself. We are 2-0 in the division. We could be 0-2 without Romo and Dez.

 

[Vintage]

So I guess if you're an Eagles fan you're sitting there flabbergasted wondering how the heck can't you win with Sam Bradford.

Yeah. I was wondering how you were holding up.

 

[mldardy]

We could be 0-2 without Romo and Dez.

Now that would make me feel much worse.

Here was my posting from March 12 when all of the 'get Peterson, OK to lose Murray' talk was going on:

My prediction - first Eagles game, this scenario occurs:

Value of Demarco Murray is proved without a doubt not by him rushing for the 85 yds he gets during that game, but by the fact that Adrian Peterson (which the Cowboys 'brilliantly got') misses a block on the Eagles blitz straight up the middle which knocks Tony Romo out for the season - with Romo's replacement winning 2 of the remaining games and Dallas falling to the cellar in the NFC East. Way to protect your $100+ million investment in Romo, Jerry.

Man, that was a pretty terrible prediction, lol. The only thing you got right is that Romo got hurt.

AP in Dallas? Nope.
AP missing block? Nope.
Murray running for 85? Uh-uh.
Romo hurt? Yes.
Romo hurt by blitz? No.
Romo out for season? Uh, no.

Forgive me if I don't put a lot of stock in your cellar of the NFC East prediction.

As much as Cowboys fans are disappointed about Romo getting hurt... Eagles fans are more upset that Bradford didn't.

They have problems but they gave us all we wanted.

we expect that of division games, and these two have seemed like friday night fights going the distance, no blow away games, nothing high score impressive, but defensively they have been fights

 

[CxC1993]

Love winning & being 2-0, hate that Romo is hurt & out for a few weeks. Speedy recovery for Dez & Romo please!

 

[AsthmaField]

I was also 'way off' because Murray only got 55 yards (total) instead of 85.

You predicted 85 yards rushing... not total yards from scrimmage.

So you only missed by about, oh, 83 yards.

DeMarco Murray 2015 stats

Week 1 - 8 carries for 9 yards
Week 2 - 13 carries for 2 yards

 

[NickZepp]

Not really. The game was never close after the blocked punt for a TD. And even before that they could never move the ball on offense all game.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah. I was wondering how you were holding up.

I'll give you my parents' address. Take your shoes off at the door, head to the basement and say that to my face.

 

[Risen Star]

This is how I handle loss. I'm about to enter 8 weeks of Brandon Weeden under center. If I didn't laugh about it, I'd be swinging over my drain pipe in the shower right now.

It was uncanny how he knew they'd play each other though.

Creeps me out.

It's a gift, no doubt.

Hard to blame him for bringing it back up to the board. A well deserved pat on his own back.

 

[Risen Star]

Someone please remind DeMarco that he went to Philly to win a Super Bowl.

 

[Risen Star]

Listening to Murray in the post game show. He says he need to run the ball better. Period.

Sounds like he's determined to reach double digits rushing next week.

 

[Zman5]

People are going to talk about Brandon WeDone like how people talk about Trent Dilfer after this year.

"If you have defense like 2015 Cowboys defense, you can even win a SB with Brandon WeDone".
