How do the Cowboys compare to rival Philly Eagles?

[Cowboys1966]

. But the Eagles at Chiefs will certainly be the Thursday game to open the season so maybe travel to Europe to play the Pats.

week 1 could also be the niners .

We’re better than the beagles all day everyday and even between days

 

[Hadenough]

Eagles are better at CB and D line they rotate d line players often and are fresh not having to rely on any one player. Hurts is a better QB. People talk about coaching and system for Hurts and yes that helps but he executes and makes the throws. Dak is missing throws and making bad reads even when he has had the time.

 

[Blue&Silver]

we win in the one spot it matters

cheerleaders.

I 2nd that. We have the best in the league. The Super Bowl of cheerleaders, and consistent winner for decades.

Hurts was better this year, but I'd have to see another year of results before I'd say he's better overall than Prescott. Eagles O line is way better.

 

[vlad]

Their oline is clearly better, id say we have at least a draw at head coach. Qb is a push. Rb is go with them just because of froth and we have zeke which i feel is a net negative.


If hurts performance is repeatable, I’m afraid they’re going to be a massive problem for at least a few years. If the situations were reversed cowboys fans wouldn’t **** about hire bright our future is.

Their future is quite bright sadly, but not as sad as Stephen and Jerry running this into a ditch. Have to give McClay credit, but their GM >>>>>> than ours

I've seen several posts and comments here Da Zone, stating the Cowboys are not that far behind the Super Bowl contending Philadelphia Eagles, ..
So per opinion/thoughts, how do we the Cowboys compare to the Philly Eagles in various areas, units and positions ?

Here's a look at mine.

MANAGEMENT TEAM/FRONT OFFICE - Eagles

COACHES:
Head Coach - Eagles
Offensive Coordinator - Eagles
Defensive Coordinator - Eagles

OFFENSE
Quarterback - Eagles
Running Backs - Cowboys
Tight End - Eagles
Wide Receiver - Eagles
Offensive Line - Cowboys

DEFENSE
Defensive Line - Eagles
Linebackers - Cowboys
Cornerbacks - Eagles
Safety- Eagles

SPECIAL TEAMS:
FG kicker - Eagles
Punter - Cowboys
Return specialist - Cowboys

This should go over well. I have not looked through all the posts yet. So are we talking the 2022 season or overall?

OL for Eagles better than Dallas for 2022, and probably the past several years.
FO Eagles by far as they are not afraid to make the tough decisions to improve, the coaching, hard to say, but for 2022, for sure Eagles.
QB, 2022 Hurts over Dak, but need to see more, Hurts small sample size compared to Dak.
WR, 2022, Eagles, 2021 Dallas, TE's as a group Dallas, Eagles have Goedert. RB's, that has more to do with the scheme, OL blocking and play calling. We seen the effects.

DL / LB or front 7, Eagles, DL, Eagles, LB edge to Dallas. I lumped the front 7 in there as that matters also how they play together.
DB's, will lump together also, I say Dallas, as we seen how they can be beat, CB's, until Brown and Lewis were injure, Dallas, S's I still say Dallas.

K, edge to Eagles, based on Maher's TB game more so than the entire season, P, yes Dallas same as return game, though Turpin also was not as good later on in the season.

Overall roster, can't go against the Eagles, look where they are and look where we are. But that includes coaching as well.
Now 2023 with all the FA's, especially the Eagles starters compared to Dallas, will be different, but Their FO shown it is not afraid to make the necessary moves.

OFFENSE
Quarterback - Eagles
Running Backs - Cowboys This may be a push.
Tight End - Eagles

DEFENSE

SPECIAL TEAMS:
FG kicker - Eagles Push

Your way off on some of them. Eagles Oline is the best in the NFL. Cowboys is middle of the pack.

Cowboys having better RB's is debatable. Dak is better than Hurts.

This is homerism 101 which is fine but Dak used to be better than Hurts but he is no longer. The absolute best you can get in my opinion is a push. Hurts has figured it out and he has better weapons. His Oline is the best in business much like daks between 16-18. His weapons are hard to compete with he has AJ Brown and Devonte Smith who are weapons his running back tandom is good but that goes back to the line. His TE is no slouch either. there is a reason they had the #1 offense for the year

Dak is going to have to work hard in the offseason to fix whatever broke in him this year because as much as I like him and regardless of the reasons he has turned the ball over too much which was a reason i couldnt stand romo. That said neither one of those dallas QBs were completely at fault with their repective debacles regardless of what these folks in here continue to regurgitate

Cliff notes

Eagles better at every position
QB push but you factor in salary and how it affects cap and Eagles better

i disagree salary has zip to do with skillset if you want to factor in salary dump on the dumb GM that did it. 2 QBs in a row overpaid and underacheived. The OP was simply comparing position by position and which team is better at each spot. I agree that QB is a push if not leaning slightly Eagles way but I dont consider salary at all.

The fact is that when comparing rosters salary has a lot to do with it

I dont believe @quickccc had salary as part of the equation when starting thread. i think he was just doing a position analysis but I understand what you are saying and i agree they did it better faster. I dont equate salary into anybodys position when evaluating thats on the GM.

Does it impact the overall team yes
Dak is dak
Zeke is zeke
lamb is lamb
Parsons is Parsons

I judge them by their skillset

 

[Diehardblues]

They have elevated well above us. And look to continue .

 

[atlantacowboy]

They advanced further than any cowboy team since the 1995 season. So, that by definition makes them better than any cowboy team assembled since 1995.

THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!!!! THOSE RBS are better because of their line, their line is way better, Reddick is better than a few of our players even #11

 

[Coogiguy03]

Based on what exactly?

Exactly

Next year…Eagles are blessed on next year’s schedule compared to the Cowboys. It’s comical. In addition to the annual advantage of short road trips to two of the three intra-division rivals, while Cowboys travel a long way for all three. While the schedules are similar as they’re in the same division, the NFCE draws the AFCE. The two best teams are Buffalo and Miami. Both are home games for the Eagles, both are road games for the Cowboys. That leaves NY Jets and New England as “road” games for Philly. If those are 1:00 PM games the Eagles are home in time for supper with their families. And the Eagles have to play a division winner schedule, Cowboys 2nd place. Eagles get Minnesota while the Cowboys get the Lions. You tell me which Is likely better next year. Eagles get Tampa Bay while the Cowboys get Carolina. The Bucs will be in a major transition, Panthers D was very improved by seasons end. I think I’d rather play TB. And Eags get KC while Dallas gets LAC. Certainly most teams would prefer to play the Chargers except, perhaps the Cowboys, who face the opposing OC most familiar with them. KC might be an easier draw for Dallas. And even with the NFCE playing the NFCW. The best team is San Francisco, by far. Of course, home game for the Eagles, road game for the Cowboys. The Eagles have two potential international games as KC and NE host one each. But the Eagles at Chiefs will certainly be the Thursday game to open the season so maybe travel to Europe to play the Pats. Cowboys only potential int’l game is vs. Buffalo. All things considered, Philadelphia won the division and still gets an easier schedule the following year. No justice for Jerry.

Hard to say teams will be tough this far out. Happens every year: teams u think will be good aren't, and ones u assume will be bad are good

Th will be at least 3 years in a row where the Eagles play the tough teams at home and the easy ones on the road. You're right, it is comical...and ridiculous the breaks this team continues to get.

The Eagles made their own breaks by not losing to Jacksonville and Green Bay.
