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

[toto1939]

So, what did we learn this game?

Well, looks like we've mentally screwed up what was the best place kicker in the league. Good move coaching staff bringing back Dan Bailey a few weeks ago and then sending him out to try 50 yard field goals right after coming back from a groin injury.

Lol
Cleveland might win one.

Dropped a wide open pass on 4th down in the red zone with less than 2 minutes down by 4.

So much Cleveland.

Jerry didn’t want to pay the extra $ that came with a better draft pick

 

[texbumthelife]

True. More choices that may end up selecting with an excellent player, good player, average player, fair player or a bust. Same goes for fewer choices. Only time will tell how well Dallas drafts next spring at whatever slot they end up with.

So you don't differentiate between a top five pick and pick 30? Ok...

 

[Clove]

Because it would have been smart to do so

Why wasn't it smart when Romo was in?

 

[Aven8]

Well that's 3 hrs I will never get back!

Have to dump this offense and dump it quick. Couldn't move the ball against backups.

 

[Risen Star]

Now where was that team all year?

Cowboys!

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

In all fairness, when Foles was in they looked worse on offense. They couldn't have wanted to go out there and lay an egg, otherwise they would have started the backup.

Yea but unlike us they knew they were playing with a losing hand and pulled him. Most of the rest of the game I don't think they cared much. Don't think the Eagles are going to do anything in the playoffs anyway. Foles isn't much.

Cowboys!

Take that, fans who said we weren't beating teams with winning records.

Not sure if they'll make the Championship game? They're terrible. They're one-and-done, almost certainly. If not, they go 1-1 and call it a season.

I'd be seriously considering not starting Foles. I know realistically that will not happen, but I think they'd have a better shot with the 3rd stringer. Foles is terrible.

The Eagles arent terrible... Foles is terrible. Could have won the SB with Wentz.

 

[Gator88]

This was a weird game overall. It was the first one in over a decade where the starting QB was healthy and they were eliminated from the playoffs before the game began. While the loss of draft position hurts, what really annoys me is that they didn't do anything to really test the depth out and play backups to get a gauge on them, even if they were playing against Philly's backups.

 

[guag]

Would it have been better to have been beaten by that 5th string team?

Yes, as a matter of fact.

Eagles fan not feeling good over on their forum. Lol

They didn't care, because you don't sit 5 defensive starters if you care. But I'll bet they would have LOVED for Foles to come out and look great against our defense.

 

[CODE_BLUE56]

Yea but they didn't have their starters in for much of the game. Don't know how much they were trying to win.

True, but they looked like crap with their starters in. D was alright I guess, and the weather wasn't favorable. The loss of Wentz is clearly hurting them though.

 

[Clove]

It wasn’t

So we have a coaching problem, eh?

[toto1939]

So, who wants to bet that Atlanta loses this afternoon and we would have snuck into the playoffs with a half-competent effort last week? (not that it would have made much difference)

 

[Gator88]

Why wasn't it smart when Romo was in?

There weren't any games Romo played in where they were eliminated from the playoffs before it began.
