Haven’t seen this posted. Always good to see him eat some humble pie. Enjoy the taste of his tears.

Also— very interesting point their beat reporter gives around the 4:35 mark re turnovers and regression to the means:

There's an article I can't link to here breaking down how Kellen Moore exposed their defense with empty sets.

The convenient fan whipping boy strikes again.
I like Moore when he 1) calls more crossing, slants and go routes instead of comebacks and 2) does not use bunch formation on 3rd/4th and short.

The Cowboys look like a completely different team when Moore is calling slants and forward-running routes than they do when he sends everyone 10-20 yards down the field, has them stop and run back toward the ball allowing the defensive backs to watch the ball the entire time.

I realize the defensive scheme being used impacts the routes he calls, but if you look at Prescott and the receivers, they all do very well with crossing, slants and go routes so that is what his offensve schemes should be centered on regardless of the defense schemes used.

So the Eagles local analysts are blaming the loss on injuries, but the Cowboys had injuries to. 4 starters missing from their defense including 2 CBs and their best LB. After losses, injuries matter. Before games it is next man up. The point is, when the games are played the truth about injuries always emerges.

They get no sympathy from me, as I have been told way too often Injuries are not an excuse. No one cares when Dallas is dealing with injuries and I don't care about some other teams injury.

Sounds like injuries + the way they started the season just wasn't maintainable.

The Eagles are very concerned right now and have a lot of unanswered questions with the health of their football team. We will see Sunday how they overcome adversity vs. a motivated Saints team that is not afraid to play in the elements.

The Eagles never expected their defense to get shredded by the Cowboys, especially the way they stuffed the Cowboys running attack and got to the QB.

They haven’t faced too many top tier teams this year. Will be interesting to see how they show up in the playoffs.
