I don't know if you remember or if you were a Cowboy fan when Jimmy Johnson predicted that the Eagles season was done, they weren't going anywhere. That was 2006. The Eagles were 5-6 at the time and their QB, McNabb was hurt. Their QB was perennial backup Jeff Garcia.Not a fan of sticking. Just let it be I guess. Let the **** play out. What’s it to you?
*Yawn*
Is their coach wearing a better “Beat Dallas” shirt next time?
We’ll pummel them again in Week 18 if we need to.
I don't worry about the Eagles. I worry about the Cowboys.Historically, the Eagles play their best when everyone leaves them for dead. "Put a fork in them" is their rallying call.
The Eagles have a two game winning streak going into the next two games against the morbid Giants and Jets. Then comes their bye week.
After their bye week comes the last four games of their regular season, all against division rivals.
They end the season against the Dallas Cowboys in Philadelphia....a week after the Cowboys have played the Cardinals.
A loss by the Cowboys to the Raiders or Saints, one loss to the Washington Unnamed, a loss to the Cardinals combined with an Eagles run on the Giants twice, Washington twice and the Jets........does any of this seem unrealistic?
The Eagles has been a team that almost always surges late in the season. It is entirely possible that a 10-6 Eagles team hosts a 10-6 Cowboys team in a game #17 to determine the division champion.
We all know the typical outcome of such a game.
The Cowboys must avoid this scenario at all costs by creating their own end of season surge.
They’ll do nothing.

I am the one that hates the Eagles the most but I must say this, if you and any others think that the Eagles aren’t a good team, you will soon found out.
Yes you are absolutely correct I don’t think they’ll catch us at all, but I’m just stating that I believe they are much much better then what we seen earlier in the season, to the point that yes they my make the Wild Card.The damage is done.
They can go try and get a wildcard.
You go girl!I'll give you that but we base all of it on a history that hasn't happened with this roster. We've had so much turn over but keep painting these guys into the same corner we did with Romo, Witten, Dez ect. This is a different team and let's hope against hope they don't follow the same narrative just because they wear the star.
Surely we aren't that cursed right? Personally I still think we have dawgs on this team and they won't allow that to happen. I think they beat the Raiders then get some key players back and win 5 straight before squaring off with the Cardinals. I'm not buying all the recipe BS.
Cowboys need to take care of their own business. If they do that then will be just fine. As for the Eagles they can't afford any slip ups and while the schedule looks easy it should be noted a lot of top teams have lost vs so called easy teams.
yupif the cowboys have that type of collapse the head coach and most of the staff and lots of players will be elsewhere next year
the denver game is the only surprise when the schedule came out thats fans picked wins and losses..This is why I hate losing games we should win. I do think we can run the East games..
This is what I've been saying, this season emphasizes why the term "Any Given Sunday" is said. Just because a game looks "easy" on paper for a NFL team, doesn't meant that the NFL team will win it. If the Cowboys, Rams, Packers, Bills, Titans, Chiefs, Ravens, can all have games were they lose or struggle to an "inferior" opponent, then so can the Eagles. Some seem to believe that the Eagles will be immune from having a bad game for the remainder of the season. When so far none of the top teams in the NFL have been immune from having a bad game or having an opponent with an inferior record show up with their A game on one or both sides of the ball.

Jimmy specifically said, "Stick a fork in them, they are done". The Eagles promptly went on a 5 game winning streak and won the division after defeating the Cowboys in game #15.
My point is that the Cowboys and fans cannot assume they will win the division. There is still plenty of time for the Eagles to catch up and they aren't playing any difficult teams for the rest of the season. They have nothing but division rivals and the Jets. they are on a two game winning streak and still have a bye.
The last four weeks in the NFL:
the Eagles have the 2nd most points scored. They are averaging 35 points a game. They are 4th in total yardage. They lead the league in rushing yardage and are ranked 6th in yards per carry. They are tied for most rushing TD's.
