Dallas just beat the Eagles team that is the best team in football. Dallas handled the run, created turnovers and the DBs kept making plays. It was a wonderful Christmas Eve. This Dallas team has fought through injuries and are tuning themselves up for the Superbowl. Watching Peters line up as TE and maul two defenders was incredible, I want to see more of this.

Outside of the pick, Dak was on fire. As TY gets in football shape I think he will be a problem for Coordinators. Lamb is smooth on his routes and his growth over the last three weeks is very noticeable. Zeke and TP are grinding dirt yards, and what impressed me was the team stuck with running which kept the play action working.

This game was a cross between a chess match and a wild west shootout.

Keep throwing at Bland and teams will learn today, he will make a believer out of the QB.

Enjoy the win, Merry Christmas Y'all,
Go Dallas!!!

We have to also let it sink in that we barely eeked out the win despite Philly being led by Gardner Minshew, who accounted for at least 2 turnovers. Anyone who thinks they’re not a better team with Jalen Hurts who’s having an MVP year is kidding themselves. We would’ve had a tough time dealing with his mobility. The only way we got Philly off the field for the most part was 4 turnovers. That saved us from giving up more points. I’m certainly happy for the win but our defense is going to have to play much better than what it has the past 4 games or we’re headed for doomsville in the playoffs. We needed Dak’s best game of the season to win this game. It took everything the Cowboys had to keep Minshew and company from pulling the game out. Parsons looked like he was going to pass out he was so tired. We had to take a timeout to give him a breather.

Cause he had a boo-boo. Man up,"hurts". No cred for Minshew? Had they won, you'd be singing like a canary.

Psst...your center on the PS snapped the ball 0 out of 0 attempts. Worthless stat.

Whatever you want to say, if we hadn't blown games to the 5-8 Jaguars and losing record Packers we'd be the #1 seed, as it stands now we have to go on the road where we haven't won a road playoff game in 30 years. Wake me up when we make the NFC Championship which we haven't in 26 years.

I’m just glad they didn’t have Hurts on that last drive. He would have kept running to keep that drive alive. He might have been able to scamper into the end zone.

Sure, if we get them to turn the ball over 4 or more times, we can beat them in the playoffs. But that's no guarantee. The Eagles turned the ball over 4 times twice this season. They lost both those games.

They forced those turnovers. The Cowboys defense is pretty good at it. Nobody has gotten more turnovers than they have over the last two seasons.

I don't even know what many a slip twixt a cup and a lip means and I'm not going to bother to ask. I care about winning championships not beating the best team without their best QB when we should be the #1 seed from it but we blew it. Most of you have such short attention spans on this forum I see it you're happy as hell when we win and mad as hell when we lose. My emotions don't change game to game, I want to see results in the playoffs, then I'll be happy. Got it?

If we are playing this game, Eagles eeked out a win against Cooper Rush, while he gave them 3 turnovers and short fields for much of their points. What is the difference? Hurts played that game.

Dak usually has his way with the Eagles defense. Hurts hasn't proven anything in this league yet. The year he is having right now, Dak had his very first year.
