Eagles haven't beaten a Good Team on the Road all Year

[Pessimist_cowboy]

That was all the defense, they dominated those games.

You seem slow ...

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

You can't be serious.

Just this year, two of the very biggest games were roads games at New York and at Washington.
New york was getting on a role at the time and most considered it very big at the time.
Lose the Washington game and the season would have been over.
He (and team) had game winning drives for the win in both.

This guy has no clue about football save your breath . The guy is from another planet .

We stopped philly. They scored 3 pts. If there is one thing ole monte has figured out, its chip kelly.

We certainly bottled up their running game, especially by getting a lead and forcing Foles to pass. He was definitely off that day in a way he hasn't really been all season.

For our part, the offense was AWFUL that game. We didn't score a touchdown till the 3rd quarter and didn't really put it out of reach till the 4th when Romo threw his lone TD pass of the day.

It's easy to sit back now and say we shut them down, but it wasn't a comfortable game by any stretch. In no way was it easy and it took a special effort from the defense combined with Foles' inaccuracy to pocket us that game.

There's plenty of room for both us and the Eagles to play better, I wouldn't say we figured them out - it was a struggle.

It's very hard to have confidence in a Cowboy team that has played so poorly all year long. Nobody thinks the iggles are going to be a playoff juggernaut but based upon their performance the last couple of months it's clear they should be a heavy favorite over the cowboys. That being said, it's a divisional game, so who knows?

In film review . "We". actually didn't stop them. Foles did. He couldn't hit the wide open receivers.....but, they were there, wide the freak open.....

That and the fact he suffered a concussion ....

I do remember watching that game thinking how lucky they were because there were several times he missed receivers that were open.

 

[Blackspider214]

They've been 6-3 since Foles took over (6-1 after they dropped the first two when Foles played really poorly). I would call that a much better season. We have a .533 winning percentage with Romo the starter, and they have a .666 since Foles took over.

Wow you are cherry picking to make them sound better than they are. Disregarding Foles poor play so you are throwing out those games. Well I'll do the same. I'll throw out the KC and Bears game for us. So cool, let's disregard those losses as well as Romo played poorly.

Fact is, they have one single win more than us. If we win on Sunday, they are eliminated from the playoffs. Hardly a better season than us.

You are off on a few things. Foles took over half way thru the Giants game and played very well in a win. Then Foles started in the Bucs win and was NFC Player of the week. The following week was the Dallas game. Foles missed the next game vs the Giants (Barkley started and played terribly). Foles started the rest of the way. So...
Since Foles became the QB (counting the Giants game), the team is 8 and 3...and 8 and 2 over that period in games Foles played a signifigant part of.

I remember when Dallas fans actually had a backbone, that day is over.

Monte Kiffin hasn't figured out anybody and that includes Chip Kelly. Go back and watch that Eagles game, the Cowboys held them to 3 points because Nick Foles looked like a Jr. High School Quarterback out there. He had receivers running wide open all game and he couldn't get them the ball. It was one of the most worst performances I've seen from a Quarterback. 80 yards passing? That had nothing to do with Monte Kiffin and everything to do with how awful Nick Foles was.

 

[GiveDezdaBall88]

Foles will be awful agan, dude cant handle the big moment

I didn't throw out those games. 6-3 since foles took over. .666 win percentage

I thought he started in the Dallas game. Thanks for clearing that up. 8-2 is pretty dang impressive

 

[Wayne02]

And after they beat the Cowboys, they still will not have beaten a good team on the road all year.

 

[TOEaglesRule]

Assuming they win Sunday - never a sure thing in spite of what some say - it will be very interesting to see how the Eagles do against San Fran or whoever else is #6. I think they might suprise some of you.

 

[TOEaglesRule]

And after they beat the Cowboys, they still will not have beaten a good team on the road all year.

Funny, the arguement has gone from

Eagles havnt beaten a good team...then they won in Green Bay

to

Eagles havent beaten a good team with their starting QB...then they beat Arizona and Detroit

to

Eagles havent beaten a good team on the road. (and that should be amended to add 'with their starting QB')

To disprove that last one, the Eagles will have to win in Dallas, then beat a very good team at home.

So whatever happened before Foles is irrelevant?

Foles is the starter. I don't understand your point. Yes, games Vick and Barkley started are pretty irrelevant. Why would they be? And as another poster corrected me, they're 8-2 (not 6-3) in games Foles has started.

So games where the starting QB going into the season is irrelevant just because they did not go so well? Riiight. Last time I checked, those games Vick started counts in the W/L column. And Barkley never started a game this year. Don't know where you are getting that from.

You make no sense. Last time I checked, the regular season so far has been 15 games for every team. They all count. Yet for Dallas, all of them count but for Philly, only the ones count that they made their run in. Is that what you are saying?

Because for a team that is having a way better season than the other, you would think it would not be coming down to a winner take all game. Yeah?

Whoever started the Giants game (the week after Dallas beat Philly 17-3). I just guessed it was Barkley. I don't really care who it was. I would say what a completely different QB with a completely different style (a.k.a. Vick) did with this team is pretty irrelevant. That's like saying Tebow's Broncos were relevant to Peyton's Broncos even though they had 90% of the same players. So, if Romo played 8 games this season and they went, say, 6-2, and Orton played 8 games and they went, say, 2-6, would Orton's Cowboys really be relevant to Romo's Cowboys? This team is 1-4 without Foles and 8-2 with him. There's a pretty clear difference that this is a completely different team with Foles. You're acting like this team with Foles is not better than your average 9-6 team. That's stupid. The Packers with Rodgers are better than a 7-7-1 team. I don't see what's so hard to understand.
