The Eagles have the QB having the best year.. that does not mean he is the better QB. Anybody can have that one amazing year and then come crashing back to Earth as the league figures you out. It's too soon to say if Hurts can continue to grow his game or he gets swallowed up as teams start forcing him to win from the pocket.
But in other position groups?
The Cowboys have two running backs in the top 20 in the league in rushing yards and top 10 in rushing TDs.. On what planet are they "tied at best" with Sanders and Gainwell?
The Cowboys DEs have 31 sacks.. the Eagles have 25.5 . The Cowboys DEs also have 36 TFLs to 27 for the Eagles. Both groups have forced 7 fumbles. I gotta give a decided edge to the Cowboys there. The Eagles do have the much better DT group to be sure. The offensive lines have played about the same level but the Cowboys could be getting some serious upgrades here in the next couple of weeks. I'll also give a nod to the Eagles LB group just because of Edwards.. Dude is everywhere.. but I like the Cowboys safety group better.. though clearly losing Brown and Lewis have hurt the Cowboys at corner. But what they lost in experience they gained better physical tools. It's scary to go into the playoffs with two such inexperienced guys starting.. but it would not be the first time a team rode a couple of youngsters in the secondary to the promised land.
The bottom line is the Cowboys had Eagles are comparable. Who wins will be determined by who plays the best on that day. If Eagle-killer Dak .. you know the 450 yard 3 TD guy.. shows up though it's church for the Eagles.. and they know it.
I don't think we should try to be the greatest show on turf w this mediocre wr core to an extreme.
But trying to make a kelse out of Schultz'kowski or Ferguson to an extreme isn't a solution either because they just JAGs
We try to win with the same run first mentality similarly but they have just as many horses as we do running and they have three better horses at wr who are more clutch in every aspect of their game esp scoring.
I see the closeness and resemblance in talent
I just think their top 6 skilled players are better as a group in this regular season
And Aj Brown has 2 tds w 18+ yard averages in the playoffs
And the NFC playoff teams are grass
I'm taking the paper playoff stats and Brown and the most successful QB even though I know we're more Evenly matched
Our guys are dropping way too many balls
