Just going by the eyeball test, Dallas looks to be the 3rd best NFC team judging by Dallas' slow starts and how consistent the Eagles are on both sides and how dominant the 49ers defense is, along with their efficient offense unless the Cowboys really flip a switch and show out against the Eagles on Xmas eve finish the season strong, it may be a short Playoff stint.

Distant 3rd? Lololololol. We were within one score in the 4th with dorky Rush giving the Eagles 3 or 4 turnovers early on.

You can say those 2 teams are better but way behind? Nah.

You do realize that the 1st string Cowboys were playing the Eagles practice squad which still scored 26 points on Parson and company?

You realize the post I'm replying to makes no mention of starters and only requested to be called when Dallas beat Philly in January?

Think Philly cares that Dallas was done a few starters when they won earlier this year?

We played all our starters against their entire backup unit. Gardner Minshew and company still put 26 points up against our starting defense. You should know this. Beating down their scrub unit didn’t do us a bit of good, we went one and done the following week. By the way, no prize for you. :thumbup:

Of course I know. Does the post I'm replying to make any mention of who's playing?

IIRC Dallas is 4-1 over the last 20 years against Philly in January. Does that matter?

You made it sound like it was some great accomplishment the Cowboys winning by such a large margin. I wasn’t the only one who mentioned to you that our starters were playing Philly’s B team. It hasn’t mattered that we’re 4-1 over the last 20 years against Philly in January. We haven’t gotten past the divisional round of the playoffs while they’ve been to 4 NFC title games over that period including two Super Bowls. They’re 2-1 against us in season finale elimination games the past 20 years.

Only thing I did was provide the scoreboard of Dallas beating Philly in January. Just because Dallas beat Philly when they were not a full strength is irrelevant.

Playing to win a game with all your starters against a team that’s not playing any of their starters is relevant. Philly’s B team still scored 26 points against our starting defense. I really don’t know what we were trying to prove in that game. We couldn’t beat good teams. I said after the game it’s going to be a one and done…bingo!

Where is any of that mentioned in the post I replied to?

Just because I provided what the poster was requesting does not mean I'm trying prove anything.

You didn’t mention any of that, I’m just bringing it to your attention and anyone else that may be following this discussion. Like I said, your post that I replied to made it sound like it was a major accomplishment beating down Philly’s B team in the season finale last year. It was mentioned by at least one other poster that they were playing with their backups against our starters. I really don’t know why you even brought up that game.

You need to read the post I replied to because it did not mention B team, scrubs, or backups. I know who Dallas played and the team Philly put on the field. I'm not here to argue or apologize for Philly or help anyone make their argument. Once you realize that then it should be clear I only provided what the poster was requesting.

My comment was directed at your post. You didn’t mention B team, someone else mentioned we were playing Philly’s B team. All you mentioned was that we beat Philly in the season finale last year and posted a link to the statistics of the game. There’s really no point continuing to argue it.

Of course I did not mention backups or whatever else. It does not matter what anyone else mentioned because it was after what I was responding to. It really should not be that difficult to understand. You seam dug in on a position and making assumptions.

The fact that you didn’t mention backups is the reason you got the response for me and the other poster. Had you mentioned we beat Philly’s backups you wouldn’t have gotten a reply. You’re getting all worked up over nothing. Just let it go it’s not a big deal.
