That is the last challenging game the Eagles have before they play us on Thanksgiving Day so to see them beat a GB team with Rodgers would scare the hell out of me. I do have comfort in knowing that the Eagles defense already lost to teams with QB's on the road who are not as good as Rodgers which was Kap and Palmer. So there should be no reason why GB can't beat this eagles team at home this weekend. Also the Eagles defense is giving 25 pts a game on the road so this has to be a loss.

If it's not will you be concerned about the Cowboys facing a 9-2 Eagles on Thanksgiving Day?


I will be very scared and need Aaron Rodgers to cool them down lol

I would be pretty interested. The Packers are, in my opinion, our main obstacle to making it to the dance. I'm not concerned about Philadelphia that much. They are among the worst in the NFL in points per drive. They've been winning, but it ain't that offense.

Not that worried, still think we can bully that defense if our OL is healthy

I'm not concerned with them at all.

I don't care what their defense did to that JV team they played last night. They are soft and we have the ability to push them around on offense.

I've seen plenty of Mark Sanchez and the guy is below average. I expected the Eagles hype. They get it every year for whatever reason. They haven't won anything ever and they won't this year either. If we stay out of our own way and not turn the ball over, we will beat them.

I'm not under estimating either team. I think they are both pretty good teams. We need to stay healthy to beat either of them.

I was always taught that in the end you should own creating your own destiny. If we have to do this all on our own without any extra help, then so be it. Let's do it.

Them beating the Packers means nothing to me. Until they beat us - convincingly I might add - I'm not worried.

In this hypothetical scenario I guess it depends on how badly they beat the Packers and <how> they beat them.

On the other hand, I believe the Packers are very much the same they've been in 2012 and 2013 -- a very ordinary team that happens to have the best QB in the league. With Rodgers they can feast on most teams but over the last couple of years almost universally lose to good teams.

Sound, disciplined, Cowboys football will beat the Eagles.

Punt it out of the endzone or out of bounds.
Contain Sanchez and disguise coverages
HOLD ON TO THE DAMN FOOTBALL.

The Eagles are a ballerina football team, much like the 2007 boys.

Punch them in the mouth, hit them hard after the catch, contest every catch.

Grind out the W.

The Eagles are smoke and mirrors.

The only quality win they have was Indy and without the refs handing it to them they lose that game by 2 scores. They get by on big plays and returns. Their D can be ran on all day long and they can't run the ball and suck in the red zone.

Pretty simple formula to beat them:

Run the ball

Don't turn it over

Jam their receivers

Get pressure up the middle

Don't kick it to Sproles

I can see them losing at least 4 games and possibly 5 the rest of the way.

If they beat the Packers, which I highly doubt, then the Cowboys will probably need to sweep the Eagles in order to win the division,,, but it all really depends on where Dallas is at. They've still got plenty of asterisks and question marks as to how good they really are and how the coaches will game plan. If they can execute like they were earlier this season and start making teams pay for stacking the box then they could win out,,, they need to be more aggressive in their play calling and start bullying teams, too much vanilla conservative crap leaves too much opportunity for the other team IMO.

That's how the Eagles have been this year as well. I guess something has to give here.
