To each their own. The eagles lost to the commanders and barely beat the same colts we blew out. I'm not saying Dallas is better but it's all there to play for.

I hate to say it but Eagles has a better OL than we do. They also have more explosive offense than we do.
Eagles also really shored up the DL. Difficult ones to run against.

They are a tough match up for anyone.

Christmas Eve will be interesting to see how each team adjusts their schemes based on the earlier game and knowing there is the high probability of a third game. Enjoy the ride, it should be fun.

Dallas has the better offense once the majority of the starters returned from injury. The Cowboys have the better offense.

Just from the Eyeball test, the Eagles still look to be the Top NFC Team.
We look good but these slow starts may work against lesser teams but they will likely not against better teams.
The Eagles look more consistent and possess the talent to put Dallas away should the Cowboys get off to a slow start, where they may not be able to recover as they have been able to against lesser teams.
Dallas, San Francisco, and Philadelphia are on the same level. All can go to the Super Bowl and if they play the wrong team in the playoffs they will be going home.

I keep hearing that yet none speaks if their flaws. We match up well with them. They start fast but finish slow and we are opposite so something has to give

Screw the eagles! The Cowboys will beat the eagles. This team seems to be coming in on their own and are playing some good football. Yeah, Dak has some slow starts but he is making plays and the running game is cooking.

Oh, and another thing. Screw the eagles! And, screw the 49'ers!

I couldn’t disagreed with your statement anymore than I do. We match up very well against the Eagles. The only differences they have a running quarterback for teams are already starting to figure that out. If they played anybody with a winning record, they would not be winning. Screw the Eagles.

We will find out in a few weeks but the Eagles definitely made an effort to bolster their run defense by adding Suh and Linville Joseph also I believe Jordan Davis is coming back.

It's going to be old school who can control the line of scrimmage football and I wish we would have signed Suh. At this point that would have been a way better addition than OBJ.

We are as talented as they are but we need toughness and Micah I can't do it himself He's going to need some help and Suh would have been the bully that could help us.

The Eagles have played a lot of close games against bad teams. Apart from the Packers we have absolutely obliterated most of the bad teams on our schedule. Even with Cooper Rush we were beating bad teams by multiple touchdowns.

Most of these fans clearly dont watch much football other than the Cowboys.

I’m not even sure they were watching the Cowboys. They were at Hooters watching some thing else.

Maybe. But as of now Phili has a better offense by eye and by stats (pass/run/scoring).

Boy, talk about a bunch of cry babies. I just saw a youtube video with 2 philly sports casters saying how 35 points was really good against the Titans defense and how they could have scored 50. Really? 50 kind of like us? Well cry babies, if you want to score 50 next time don't pull your starters with 10 minutes left in the game. Then you won't have to cry about it. We live rent free in their heads.

Eagles are looking at the Cowboys as their biggest hurdle as well.
We will see soon enough how this plays out.

Davis is already back.

I don't think the Eagles have proven they are the best in the NFC.

If you look at the squad versus squad comparison, I see no separation.

After Brown and Smith they have nothing. With Goedert out at TE, they have nothing there.

Their 2nd option at RB is their QB. The length of their luck when it comes to Hurts health is finite. Run your QB enough times, it will happen. Then what?

Bottom line, the Eagles are extremely thin at the offensive skill positions.

If it had been Hurts that went out after game #1, he wouldn't be coming back to a 6-0 team.

The Eagles won 3 games by a combined margin of 7 points to three teams with a combined record of 13-23. Hardly dominant.
