I think the Eagles have a superior OL, DL, QB, TE and WR. I think their scheme and coaching is better as well.
The Eagles have an identity; the Cowboys do not. The Eagles say they are committed to winning and back it up with trades and FA acquisitions; Dallas says they are committed, but do nothing of substance. Yeah…they traded for Cooks, but he has been MIA in the offense and instead roll with an inconsistent Gallup and a second-year WR. But needs at RB and OL were not addresses, but Dallas drafted a TE when there were already two on the roster and contributed in their rookie season. Dallas constantly over-values their talent and refuses to address positions of weakness because “we like our guys”. Jerry is only interested in PR because the media eats up whatever nonsense Jerry is spewing! So yeah…it is only fair that Jerry should get all the blame and criticism, since he wants the accolades.
But with that being said, good teams find a way to win when they aren’t firing at 100%…they rise above adversity. The Cowboys had the Eagles on the ropes in the closing seconds of the game…but the Cowboys had a dead ball penalty and Dak took a sack that he knew he couldn’t take.
The Cowboys aren’t closers…they play great with a lead, but when they get behind in crunch time they make dumb mistakes…both players and coaches need to be accountable…not just Dak.
