Eagles game. Is a victory impossible?

 

[Verdict]

I think this game is winnable if we spread the ball around on offense and do not FORCE it to Dez and kill drives. Just be proficient offensively and we have a good chance of winning this game. I don't think the play at LT will be as bad as it was last week even if Green plays again.

The defense will also be better. Probably substantially better. I think this could be a breakout game for getting turnovers to go our way.

Side note: We have a guy on our roster who is making about $17 million dollars per year (Dez-cough-cough) who we are paying to take over games. If he is the receiver the Dez Fan Bois think he is, this is the scenario you pay him for. Go get open (don't beg for the ball when he is covered) catch a couple of balls and go show that he still has it and is worth all those Ben Franklins we are piling up on top of him literally every week. If he is for real he should get 10+ catches (on about 13 targets) for about 150 yards and two TDs and take over this game. I'm not talking about flukey ********. I am talking real dominance.

It is time Dez started earning that check instead of just killing the cap. If he doesn't step up in the absence of Zeke, he needs to either be forced to take a pay cut or the Cowboys show his *** out the door at the end of the season.

 

[Verdict]

Impossible? No. More like highly improbable.

I’m kinda excited to see what could be our secondary of the future. Woods will start. Awuzie will play some as well. I already formed my opinion on Lewis and it’s quite favorable. Real solid cover instincts. I would only expect him to get better.

On the other side of the ball? Well, that’s what makes me uneasy. I just don’t see us keeping pace with them. They are well rested and would like nothing more than to impose their will on a beleaguered offensive team.

A bye can kill momentum and break off a teams hot streak.

Impossible? No.

We were one of the hot teams in 2014 when the Deadskins beat us at home with their 3rd string(Colt McCoy) QB. Division games are strange that way.

I don't feel that this game is purely winnable or losable on the basis of just statistical comparison.

Is it possible for a team to come together as a unit and play error free ball and pick up a few errant opponent flaws? Sure, but to me, the matter boils down to the true heart of this current Cowboys that aren't in possession of Pro Bowl talents.

In my view, this group as it sits now, is incapable of putting together a top shelf game starting from the opening whistle...on.

It stagnates when thoroughly pushed and physically intimidated. And this group of Eagles is able to present that physical presence from the start of a game...and keep it up to the final gun.

This group of Cowboys may try pretty hard, but they are missing their big boy pants when all is on the line and demanded for an entire game. They are always, almost there...

No Sean Lee or Tyron Smith..not gonna happen. We can win games without Zeke but not without these three.

We have a punchers chance to win this game. IMO— it will come down to how our offense performs.

If we execute and play our brand of offensive football— we have a chance. If we play like we did last week— we have zero chance.

My gut tells me this team is pissed and will come out fighting after last week. I think this game will be a lot closer than most people think

Lol... I reserve the right to be wrong though
