Gardner Minshew will start at QB against Dallas

[Aven8]

We saw him last year when they played all their backups. With Brown he could be really good.

If our defense actually limits the Eagles offense with Minshew, I wonder if they'll get credit for it. With the way some are building up Minshew for this game.

Oh they have their answers and comments already typed up, just cut and paste, rather we win or lose, the onslaught is coming like a bad winter storm.

Why do I feel I am on an Eagles fan board...oh, wait...I am...

Fans wanting emotional insurance are the worst.

 

[Bagman]

Smart decision.......but takes all the juice out of a W by the Cowboys

I'm not in it for the juice. Hopefully just get the W and lock up #5 seed. Then get healthy and ready to put a beat down on the NFC SOUTH champ.

Y’all seem to have this mistaken belief that Minshew is not a good qb. He’s the best qb on the e-gals roster, and is a starter for a sizable chunk of teams out there. He got a bad rap because he was in one of the most historically bad teams in Jacksonville. Just because filthydelphia is wedded to Hurts doesn’t mean he’s the better qb.

44-6

Wait...the HC announced something about a player's status? Not Howie Roseman or the team owner or a VP of the team?

What kind of sorcery is this? Very strange indeed.

Minshew is very capable. Dallas cannot come in acting as if the game is won before the kickoff.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Last year, against a Dallas defense resting Parsons and Diggs, Minshew had a passer rating of 81 and a QBR of 51. That’s as average as average can get.

Disappointed that Hurts won’t play but I think it’s obviously the right decision. Was looking forward to how both staffs would game plan differently than the first matchup knowing there’s a good chance for a third game. Enjoy the game and have a nice holiday.

Great. If the Cowboys lose, I'm gonna have to stay off the internet for a while. They will get destroyed by just about everyone.

 

[JohnsKey19]

With their OL, RB and WRs/TE, any veteran QB can put up good #s in that offense. Cowboys D still will have their hands full.

True he can be good but what he does not have is the big ability to run. Eagles have lived off the RPO and with the real threat of Hurts pulling it and running. Much of the eagles run game has depended on Hurts running who has over 700 yard rushing. Cowboys need to come in focused and ready because as you said he has game but he does not present the same problems that Hurts does

Watch how we play down to the level of competition, ..and have to scarcely squeak out a last minute score to win the game ... ala Houston Texans ...

I don't care if we beat Philly by 1 point. I'm interested in winning. Philly has a very good defense and will present problems.

 

[IceStar-D7]

Seen this movie before-doesn't end well Seems like every time we face a backup they kill us. Don't trust the coaching staff to make a game plan versus guys they know. Players they never played against

 

[Rayman70]

Minshew will carve us like a turkey. We cant cover anyone. Bland is the most trustworthy cb we have. He's good. But I don't trust any of the rest. Diggs is more iffy than the stock market.

 

[Rayman70]

Cowboys defense went from being considered one of the best in the NFL to now having both Cowboys and Eagles predict that Minshew is going to pick them apart and have a huge game against them. Let's see how this defense responds to that.

we are bad against the run and mediocre against the pass. We are injured everywhere.

 

[SlammedZero]

Why do I feel I am on an Eagles fan board...oh, wait...I am...

The Eagles lovefest around here this season is disgusting.

not sure its a love fest. I think most of us are admitting the truth. Now would we like to see it end better for Dallas? HELL YES. But haven't we seen this song play out before? I think many are just trying to stay away from drinking the Kool aid.
