Agree. This is a house money scenario for Dallas.

I would disagree with that.

A win, and Dallas is in first place with the Lions and Bears next.

A loss, and the Cowboys fall two (and a half) games behind the Eagles, who will have a stranglehold on the division.

They will only have a stranglehold if they're actually a good team. Which frankly has yet to be proven. If they can boat race the Cowboys then we can have that conversation. If they eke out a close win over a team with a backup QB at the helm then they will have proven nothing except that they are (slightly) better than the Cowboys with their backup QB at the helm. They will still have the psychological disadvantage of having failed to get within 20 points of the Cowboys the last two times they've played with Dak at the helm. Anything short of a double digit win for them this Sunday comes with a "yeah but..." Plain and simple.

The problem is Hurts can move and turn a busted play into a 50 yard run at any time.

The defense can do everything right and still get gashed and we don't have the offense to keep up.
Hurts never had a run of 50 yards but other than that you make sense.

Yeah Hurts is quick, strong and agile but not really fast. I doubt he could beat Daniel Jones in a footrace. He IS a good athlete though and is improving as a passer. But you still want to force him to beat you from the pocket as opposed to letting him run around and make plays.

I know that. Tell it to the sassy troll. He's the one saying hurts will bust out 50 yard runs.

Somehow these opposing teams, position groups and players become mythical figures on this board that can do the impossible. Dallas definitely has a stiff test ahead of them but I feel the defense is up to the task. the real challenge is on the other side of the ball where I think moving the ball consistently will be the problem, mainly due to Dallas playing with its backup QB.

It's like when "fans" feared Taylor Heineke last year. It's really funny to me.

The editing of Joyner's comments speaks about the inciting mature of the press more than it does about what Joyner truly feels. His addendum, which was redacted by the press to have a titivating aspect was simple. If the Eagles don't stop the Dallas rush from getting to Hurts they could lose.

To the editing press......"Mission accomplished."

"That defense is formidable. That defense is no joke." Seth Joyner

I know I said after the 49ers loss that I would be even keel with our team until they got past the divisional round. I lied! This defense makes me a believer. GO COWBOYS!!!!
