They've been doing that for 30 years how's that worked out? When will we cash in a SB championship? Or will we just be good enough with drafting and resigning our own to just make the playoffs? The evidence says we'll just be good enough to make the playoffs like we've been doing.

I'm no eagles fan but I can tip my hat when I see teams doing things the right way, I'd hope we'd emulate what other successful teams have done rather than the Joneses trying to do it "their way" which hasn't worked.
No! They went the outside FA, dumb trade route on several occasions. It set us back years and is one of the defining reasons it’s been 30 years. And here you are “wE ShOuLD trADe fOR a THiRty yEAr oLD ReCeivEr, ITT’ll wIRK ThiS tImE”!!!

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.
Oh, ok, starting with the excuses early. I guess it is still a bit premature to complain about next years officiating, right?

Name the time that they signed a highly sought after outside free agent and it didn't work? Name the time they made a big trade and it didn't work? I'd trade for S.Diggs because you have Dak here for at least 2 years this is the time to go all in, you have a SB ready defense you just don't have any weapons outside of CeeDee and Pollard that the defense respects. How do you propose that we get the wr opposite CeeDee, since you want a young one do you think that Cincy will trade us Jamar Chase or how about inquiring about Jefferson from the Vikings? You see the wr that may be traded will be late 20s early 30s but we don't have time to wait on developing a rookie, that's why KC drafted one early but signed JuJu, MVS and traded for Toney and Philly traded for AJ Brown.

We’re better than the beagles all day everyday and even between days
Remember how we pummelled the 9ers in the playoffs and annihilated their 2 QBs? Oh wait, the horrible beagles did that.

Hmmmm… Galloway, Roy Williams, Ferguson, the guard from Green Bay that never even played a preseason snap, Sanders when you consider after that first year he spent damm near as much time with turf toe as he did on the field etc.
JuJu signed a 1yr contract… he ain’t 30. Brown would be an example of a good trade, he was turning 24 and entering the prime of his career. Diggs and Hopkins are 30, the age where receivers tend to go into rapid decline. Hopkins has already begun. There’s a difference between making good signings/ trades and signing someone just because you’ve heard their name!!!

I asked that question for a reason, the Galloway trade was in the year 2000. The Roy Williams trade was in 2008 and Ferguson was signed as a free agent in 2005. Are we as an organization and a fan base going to be scared for life because a trade that happened 23, 15 and 18 years ago didn't work? Really?

About Deion Sanders, he was acquired in 1995 that's
28 years ago and was the catalyst behind our last super bowl so i think, despite the injuries, that FA signing worked out.

Look at the years on all these transactions, 28, 23, 18 and 15. No GM should be around to suffer from PTSD of bad transactions that happened this long ago. If we were a normal organization the GM in place would only remember the last five years or so but no, ours is still resenting the Galloway and Williams trade and scared to do anything because of it. AJ Brown, JuJu, MVS and Toney were all "names we've heard" and we'll hear again at 5:30 today.

The post sort of lost all credibility when it said the Cowboys have the better offensive line.
Cliff notes

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

/thread
That's a great point.
Factor in that Dak eats like 20% of our cap, and Jalen like 1% of theirs. Won't always be the case but it is for now.
The initial post lost all credibility when they said the Cowboys have the better O line.
Come on!

Lol, I brought them up for a reason myself. They were dumb trades that set us back 30 years.?Trading for 30 year old receivers now would be just as dumb, even if you now want to try to throw out other names lol!

It's odd to be asking how the Cowboys compare to the Eagles when the Eagles are about to play in the Super Bowl. I'm not one of those Cowboys fans in denial and thinking the Cowboys are close. There is a big difference between where the Cowboys are right now and the Eagles. I'm sorry folks if that hurts, but if you don't like hearing the truth then you shouldn't have asked the question. Many of you lie to yourselves but I'm sorry, I won't do that.

Yeah, and we have had 3 extra weeks of rest Philly didn't have come beginning of next season, so we should be fresher.

That's the good thing about never advancing past the divisional round: we're always fresher than teams like the Eagles that are always playing in NFC Champ games and SuperBowls, which is probably why we're always better than them.

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

Sorry dude,...Eagles OLine is better than ours, and better than anyone else in league too.

Their OLine this year may be a Top 5 All Time OLine. Ours probably isn't Top 5 this year

Chiefs primarily went draft. Eagles, Rams, and especially the Bucs thought they were a player or 2 away. We’re not, nor have we been close to that category. All 3 of those teams did have some major cap issues coming up, and the Rams are almost back to be a national embarrassment!
Eagles primarily draft too.

Every offensive starter but AJ Brown was drafted by them.

And their defense starters are 6 draftees, 5 FA. (And that's not including Jordan davis).

Where they are drastically better than us, is these James Bradburry type 1 year deals They do late in summer.

No trade sets you back 30 years and if you believe that then you can't be in the front office of a sports franchise, if the Joneses believe that then no wonder we're in the place we're in now. I'd trade for a 29 year old Diggs and for 2 years have him on one side and CeeDee on the other and if I fail to go to the NFCCG it wouldn't be for lack of trying like it is now. The dumb position (which is yours) "hey lets draft young guys and sign our own free agent and sign scrap heap free agents and outsmart the league" that's the plan that the Joneses have worked for the last 10 years or so and what has that gotten us? If it weren't for Will McClay I don't know where this franchise would be, on second thought his great eye for talent is what's keeping us "right in the middle", which is a place that I don't want to be.

Also I've don't like having back and forth with people that are happy to make the playoffs and agree with the status quo that has this team not making the NFCCG in 28 years so this will be my last time responding to you.

Philadelphia has assembled a very good team. They play like a team.

Time for Dallas to catch up.

'nuff said

Go Cowboys!

Eh, but look at his contract. He’s a FA yet will count close to 6m hit against next years cap. They have at least 5 contracts like that where 5 of their 11 starters who are FA will count 54m against next years cap!
