Gurly TD. Rams are pounding the Giants.

We control our own destiny. That said, the Eagles are winning the games they’re supposed to and we dropped ones we should have. Simple as that.

The Eagles are better than the Cowboys. Simple as that.

We weren't about to trade up for Wentz, not with this FO. Remember Romo was going to play another 4-5 years at that time, lol. They were going all in for him and only got Dak as a developmental QB.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

I'm happy that Jacksonville is a thing

Honestly, credit to the FO for finding the ROY with a compensatory fourth rounder

You get points for having Alice Cooper in a gif.

It's easy to be anti-Eagles. We're on a Cowboys board for Christ sake. It's hard to sound anti-Eagles when you honestly look at how they are playing right now.

It's one thing to acknowledge that a good team is in fact good.

What we've seen the last several weeks on this board borders on hero worship though. A bunch of grown men have been tripping over each to label the Eagles NFC champions in November and go on and on about how much they'd rather have Wentz, Pederson, etc. than what we have.

I'm actually surprised some of you come up for air long enough to type out such posts.

 

[Sydla]

It's a myth that I'm a Wentz fanboy.

No you are an irrational Dak hater.

F

I think they did well with Lewis, Awuzoe and woods.

So they save a D. Maybe a D-.

NFC east next year
Prescott -Cowboys
Wentz - eagles
Darnold-giants
Rosen- Commanders

Darnold may very well stay in schol.

lol.

Let's see what happens today and then when we play.

I agree with you. I can't speak for anyone else here.

On another note with Philly, it's not just Wentz. It's smart moves they have made post Chip Kelly. Pederson and Swartz were great hires as well. They are loaded on both sides now because of smart organized moves.

 

[TWOK11]

So instead of trading away multiple picks to get Wentz, we got the NFL ROY in the 4th round?

And you somehow believe that constitutes a negative?

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

Saints are trashing the Bucs

 

[Risen Star]

You do realize Wentz was taken 2 picks before Zeke right? The cowboys had no chance to draft him without giving up a boatload off picks. Wasn’t going to happen considering we thought we had Romo still.

Do we have to keep talking in circles here? Maybe I can leave it up on the bulletin board for you kids.

We allowed the Eagles to go up ahead of us and steal the #1 ranked player on our board. The most important position in all of sports and a position of current need. We played it conservative, they took the risk and they've been rewarded handsomely for it. The Browns would have much rather moved to 4 than 8. The Cowboys held the cards not the Eagles.

But this is good. It's progress. We're past the thoroughly myopic Wentz sucks phase of acceptance. We're now into the pretend he wasn't available phase. I promise you, this ends with you guys all shrugging your shoulders and going "Ok, Prescott's a scumbag.".

 

[Alexander]

Did anyone see AJ Green and Jalen Ramsey? Green went haywire and started throwing punches

Yes, because Ramsey decided to be a punk.

 

[DOUBLE WING]

I loathe the Eagles. I'd love to work on their team plane.

But I have to be honest. It pains me to see this. He was there for us and we shunned him. For some big headed freak who likes to beat women and a flim-flam man.

Franchise altering decision for both teams.

I mean, I like Jalen Ramsey too, but come on...



In all seriousness though, it's not like we chose one over the other. I don't think trading up for Wentz was ever a serious option because our "brain" trust wasn't all-in on a quarterback of the future. They expected to still get mileage out of Romo and groom Dak or whoever they would grab in the middle rounds behind him.

Wentz is going to be really good. So is Dak. When I look at Philadelphia, the only thing I feel a tinge of jealousy over is their defense.

 

[HungryLion]

No you are an irrational Dak hater.

[TheCoolFan]

I'd still take Goff over Wentz. Almost 2 years younger too

 

[Jake]

lol.

Let's see what happens today and then when we play.

I hope we beat the hell out of the Eagles - twice.

But making a bunch of excuses and crediting their success to "the refs" just looks silly. They've got one loss. To this point, they're better than the Cowboys.
