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.

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.

What did they do when Romo went down last year?

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

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

I think their backups are better than ours. Their drop off in talent from starters to backups was less. Zeke to Morris is a big drop off. Tyron to Bell is a damn CLIFF. And Lee to Jaylon/Durant is another significant drop off. Blame FA and drafting. But, these are the same coaches folks raved over last year when we were winning.

Anyone that thought we could survive the loss of Tron, Zeke and Lee with better coaching and spirit is drunk **

And don't forget we lost Heath too...........lol

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.

Agreed. But there is a huge difference. For example replacing Zeke is different than replacing Sproles.

starters are starters for a reason because they are the best players on the team. Some fans were trying to use Baily as an ecuse last week .... The Eagles did it without a dam kicker and just went for 2 pts . The next man up is just as important as the man in front of him . If you need All Pros in all postions .... maybe the team is not as good as they thought.

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.
They didn't get better last season without Romo. They would have pretty easily beat the Packers in the playoffs with Romo.

Against the Chargers and the Cardinals......

You always have caveats. You said if Cox got hurt it would change how they do things. Well, they lost Cox for two games and their defense was still very decent and they went 2-0.

Largely because they have better coaching than we do as well as better depth.
