Final Week of Season, Cowboys at Philadelphia

[Aerolithe_Lion]

True, there are several unknows around the league right now and he and Philly are 1 of those unknowns. As a Cowboy fan I would love nothing more than to see Philly crash and burn but there are some unknown factors in place.

I don’t know if he ends up not being the worst QB in the division, but him starting means we no longer have the league leader in interceptions, league leader in fumbles, and league leader in sacks taken (despite Carson only starting 12 games)...

so our defense not starting every drive in our territory has got to be a big boon and improvement from 2020, right?

So Dallas goes to NY in December and Philadelphia.

Didnt hurts fumble a lot last year?

This from a reliable but not “checkmark” NFL schedule leaks Twitter, so grain of salt...

We’ve got Tom at the Linc on TNF, and Dallas other game is MNF week 3

The eagles finish with a bye then 3 of 4 at home. If they run the ball really well they will be right in it til the end with this schedule

In the last 13 seasons, Dallas and Philly have met in the final game 6 times. Every single game involved that year’s division winner.

This will be the 7th time in 14 seasons, the most popular matchup in the league in that span.

We're going to demolish the Eagles!

After week 6, 1 team they play won more than 7 games last year, and that’s the saints who no longer have Brees. If they’re halfway decent at all, they could go on a serious run

and of those previous 6 times the season ended with a Cowboys vs Eagles game, how many of those were in Philly?

Yea could happen. I believe they will run the ball well and the defensive line is still good. No idea how the players will take to a new staff. If they like him it usually gives teams a bump in energy.

a bye and 3 of 4 at home though is just setting them up for some sort of success, at the minimum at least in those 4 games which could determine the East.

I’m guessing Wash plays the Giants last game.

 

[AsthmaField]

A rookie season where he got no first team reps in training camp nor until week 14 of the season

Hurts got benched in the last game of the season…

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

This will be the 5th of the 7 in Philly. 2021, 2017, 2016, 2010, 2008.

only 2 in Dallas 2013, 2009

Not because of his play

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Easy win to finish the season...nice.

I wonder when the last time we played both the Giants and Eagles at HOME in Dec was?? Probably never.

Check this out, Philly had an awesome season on the dline despite all that happened:

take into account they far and away led the league in intereceptions thrown, fumbles by the offense, and sacks taken, our defense was starting drives in our territory over and over every single game. Yet they finished 17th in scoring D, that’s kind of amazing.

I think they like cold weather games in December a lot. Makes for good football, I know the Viking play a lot of road games in December too because of it

yeah he wasn’t a whole lot better

There is a reason they play the SBs in warm weather cities. The weather sucks, and having weather impacts games is even worse.
