For those who blame injuries

[Parcells4Life]

Philadelphia was without their starting LT, best LB and PK last night.

And Jay Ajayi is not 28 points better than Alfred Morris.

They were also missing Sproles who is one of the more unique RBs in NFL history. Yes, I know Sproles is near the end of the line....

I also was surprised to be reminded that the Eagles played their first 9 games without their CB1 (Darby).

Doug Peterson is legit.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Jay Gruden and the Commanders are missing half of their team.

They still manage to be competitive

Last night was the absolute best example of an outmanned coaching staff as you could get.

 

[Gameover]

Cowboys won with injuries in 2016.

 

[CWR]

This was discussed all week leading up to the game.

Doug Peterson is legit.

Howard Roseman is legit

And none of the Philly's players you mentioned are considered the best at their position in the NFL. Dallas is down 3 players that are considered by many as the #1 players in the NFL at their respective position. Not making excuses for Dallas but the drop off is significant.

other than maybe lee missing games, what major injuries did we have? unless you're talking about romo

When your teams philosophy is to line and just beat the man in front of you....and not out scheme them - injuries are going to hurt your team more than others. That's why in this day and time in the NFL, you can't win with that mentality.

 

[4lifecowboy]

It isn't the injuries within themselves that hurt us, it is who is injured. The defensive quarterback and the most important member of the most important unit on the team.

How's that "guarantee" that things will be "different" playing at home working out?

They were the Eagles best at their respective positions. Unlike the Cowboys, it's not an "excuse" for them. In fact, they thrash teams like the Cowboys despite their losses.

While we curl up in the fetal position.

Coaches who are totally reliant on their players.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Eagirls have better backups then we do. Just what it comes down to. They have a better defense than we do.

Cowboys are reliant on 5 guys. Dak, Sean Lee, Tyron, Zeke and Lawrence. If one of them is gone they will fill their effects. Its a coaching and personnel issue.

Just like the Packers. They are too reliant on on Aaron Rodgers.....they rely heavily on him to improvise and extend plays.

Its going to happen to some teams. It just is. Panthers rely heavily on Luke Kuechly.

Eagirls deserve praise for being able to play without certain guys.

Just like the Cowboys lost Romo and got better last season.

Jason Peters is. They aren't reliant on the rest of those guys. If Fletcher Cox was hurt.....you'd see a big drop off on what they do. Or Wentz.

 

[Grevus]

Shockingly, Doug Peterson is coach of the year. I didn't think he was going to be a good coach. Whether it's him or not, he's the head of the team and this team makes the moves and adjustments to win. Sadly, we don't

Every team has injuries. Unless youe starting QB goes down, most teams deal with it and move on. The Cowboys collapse. This points to coaching. There is no other way to spin this.

Dez and Tyron missed multiple games last season
