Cowboys record in Green Bay and given last weeks results should be enough to make this a non-issue.

It makes me feel more confident, but still doesn't make it a "non-issue". Our offensive line and run game has obviously been great, but the Eagles' defense has a history of really slowing it down too. I firmly believe that if we can have the same sort of success like we've had, we should win handily, but if they manage to shut it down, it could be a tough game as well.

In short, I think that things will ultimately be decided by our O-line against their D-line.

2010 = Jon Kitna
2011 = Stephen McGee
2012 = Tony Romo (Cowboys win)
2013 = Kyle Orton
2014 = Tony Romo
2015 = Matt Cassell

I'd also point out that the 2014 loss was the infamous short week Thanksgiving game where we played a Sunday night game in New York before Philly came in for Thursday. Everyone looked off that night if I remember correctly.

Last 6 regular season games vs the eagles the cowboys are 1-5 vs the eagles in Dallas. And 0-3 in the last 3 games in vs the eagles in Dallas. But it should be different right since we have dak right? That stat makes me scared about the eagles game. We even lost to the eagles in 2014 in Dallas, the year we finished 12-4.

But something keeps saying......don't be nervous because DAK is a chain moving specialist and will lead to the cowboys to victory.
Green Bay beat us the previous five times we played them too......

This is different. We were on the cusp in 2014 and starting 2015 and were derailed by injuries and lack of depth. Probably some coaching deficiencies too.

All these issues have been corrected imo.

I believe this team has arrived to claim what is rightfully theirs.

The game won't even be close. You are overating Eagles, as they were manhandled by Washington and 3rd Cousins last week. After 3 games they were annointed as NFC East champs and Super Bowl contenders. Now we are seeing who they really are.

I hope you're right.

I'll only be somewhat concerned about the Eagles if they manhandle the Vikings this weekend. But what I expect will happen is that the Eagles are roughed up by Minnesota and lose, and then we tack another loss onto their record. Then we can shift our concern to the Commanders and whether Jerry is stupid enough to yank Dak if we go to 7-1 the week after that against Cleveland.

I think we still beat them down, win or lose against the Vikes. Vikes don't have our clock killing offense.

Romo has owned the Eagles. Unfortunately, he seems to be out every time they play here.

This run game will give them issues. It takes away the teeth of their defense in the second half.

I'm thinkin the Vikings are going to soften Philly up just right this week.

With Bennie Logan out and Lane Johnson on the bench and the Vikes and Cowboys coming off byes to play them the next two weeks, PHI is in trouble. With Logan out or hobbled, as good as their defense is, we're going to be able to move the ball on them.

They're going to come out swinging at home this week for the first quarter and half or so before the Vikes gradually choke them into submission. If that happens, we're going to get a beaten and demoralized Eagles team traveling to Dallas next week. They're going to be chirpy and talk a lot about how they have to get it done, but when push comes to shove, they're going to fall apart against a more physical team.

Now, if they somehow beat the Vikes at home, all bets are off. But I don't think they can beat the Vikes, even at home. Not with their protection problems right now.

We match up very well , especially with the Eagles offense. What worries me more is Fletcher Cox or that other lard butt falling on Dak.
Why would you be worried about those two? They will be going up against Martin, Frederick & Leary. Worry about the guy Free is blocking.

The Commanders have won the last 4 games vs the Eagles. They just match up well against them. Free and even Tyron to a degree seem to struggle vs the Eagles for whatever reason.

It's a different era now.
