Dallas just beat the best team in football. Let that sink in

[DFWJC]

I’d have chiefs, bills and 49ers over them but they are a top tier team
If we play them again we won’t win if we don’t play better defense. The last drive was our only stop of the day. The turnovers saved us though but hard to depend on getting 4 turnovers again

And with Minshew as QB (and I like him) you can add to that list. Certainly Cincy and maybe a few more.

We held their #1 QB to 0 yards and 0 TDs too.

Except backup Qb had 2 Tds and 1 rushing TD as well and threw 355 yards., LOL

Philly will be fine. The Cowboys have a lot more problems with the players they have out. Their defense has holes all over it.

Without Lane Johnson they scored 0 points, had 2 turnovers, and went 4 and out on the last 4 plays and gained 0 yards on that series in which their right tackle was totally over matched..

Not going to waste all day going back-and-forth on this. You got my opinion and we’ll see how it plays out.

The Saints will be attacking their right tackle. Watch what happens. Saying that the Eagles are fine at this point isn't true. You might want to look at what actually happened against Dallas. Philly for sure is feeling the heat. They know that they have a problem without Lane Johnson and it could be a big part in ruining the end of their season.

Philly is going to end up in the Super Bowl. They overcame the loss of their starting QB that was having an MVP year in 2017 to win the Super Bowl. If Lane Johnson is done they’ll overcome it. Philly is loaded.

 

[Starforever]

The fact that their backup QB shredded us and we didn’t get a single sack on him is a big red flag.

True

 

[SuperBowlz]

Minchew balled out besides the 3 turnovers. The good thing is putting 40 points on their D who had all their starters except for that Safety who has a bunch of picks (Gardner-Johnson) or something like that

Your take makes no sense. The NFC and the Super Bowl is up for grabs. About 10 teams could end up in the Super Bowl and our Dallas Cowboys are certainly 1 of them. The way it is now, I would bet against Philly making it to the Super Bowl. They could, but the odds are against them.

Philly has been the only consistent team in the NFC. No one else is really that good. You just like arguing, go ahead and take the last word. You like turning everything into a marathon.

The Cowboys and the 49ers are good. 11 and 4 is good. Especially, with playing 5 games with a backup qb and a rookie left tackle. If you don't know that the Cowboys are good, you are blind. A team that pretty much scores 40 points a game is certainly good.

The 49ers playing with a backup rookie QB is bound to catch up with them in the playoffs. In the playoffs games eventually come down to your QB having to make a play. I know the Cowboys are good, I never said they weren’t, but they clearly have defensive issues. It took Dak’s best game of the season to pull off the win yesterday and he still had an INT, which has become a weekly occurrence. Anyone who’s watched the Cowboys the past few weeks knows they haven’t been real consistent and their pass rush has vanished. They were winning games with their defense the first half of the season and now now they’re having to score 35+ to win games. If you have to score 35+ a week to win games to overcome an INT problem with your QB and a defense that’s fallen apart, you have issues that will catch up with you in the playoffs.

We'll see... but if they meet SF in the NFC Championship SF D will handle the little running QB.

A rookie QB has never won a Super Bowl or reached a Super Bowl. At some point in the playoffs Purdy is going to have a game put on his shoulders and it will come crashing down on San Francisco. The reason they couldn’t win a Super Bowl with Jimmy G was because when a game got put on him in the playoffs and SB he couldn’t come through. By the way Hurts is 6’1” 223. He’s not a little guy. You must be thinking of Kyler Murray.

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!!!

I’ll be impressed if we actually beat SF or Philly when it actually matters. Our wc game will be against a sub 500 team that I expect to beat. Beating an elite team in the Div round is ancient history and something I’m skeptical of after 26 consequent seasons of playoff irrelevance.

 

[Fmart322]

I don't look at the eagles as the best team in football even though they are. I see them as a division rival.
So anything can happen.

Also, I think we're 7-4 at Philly and 7-4 playing at home since 2012.
We've always matched up well vs Philly.

 

[starfan1]

I might fall off my chair if we make it far enough to face Philly in the playoffs.

Am I wrong in thinking it’s just game 2 in? Beat Tampa then go to Philly ? The only way we wouldn’t go there is if lower seeds beat minny and San Fran

 

[rags]

While I'm glad we won, I think the W was tainted a bit due to the fact that we faced Minshew instead of Hurts. If we have to face Hurts later on in the playoffs, the result may be different.

 

[baltcowboy]

Good lord, the ESPN player idiots are already saying the Eagles win. if Hurts played while ignoring our defensive injuries. I think the reason why the Eagles are 13-2 is because of their defense. We scored 40 on it.

Maybe. It could also be different because we have Williams, Hankins and LVE back, and a more acclimated Hilton.
