I think the Eagles will collapse

[leeblair]

I don't think the Eagles are for real. They run a high school offense that will be easy enough to stop when crunch time sets in. By "High School" I mean taking your most athletic player and letting him be the bulk of the offense.
Moreover, they seem to be too immature to sustain their game when opposing teams get physical with them, and their head coach is more like the schoolyard showoff with a big ego than a settled leader. Their timing is easily disrupted when they are approached by a physical defense. These intangibles may prove to be their undoing.
When opposing teams scheme to stop Jalen Hurts from sneaking out of the backfield and take away a couple of his "go-to" routes in the passing game, frustration will set in and I think they will struggle.
The may make the playoffs, but a mature coach will shut them down when the time comes. Much like Lamar Jackson struggled when defenses stopped chasing him and dared him to come to them, I think Hurts will be stopped.
Running quarterbacks are always a fad, but never a long-term solution.
That's why the NFL got away from it and the "pro-type" offensive schemes took over years ago.

We’re in no position to be criticizing the Eagles.

Pfft. Says who? You?
The Eagles suck.

I'm not criticizing; merely an observation.
I am at the age where I appreciate effort, and they are trying.
I just have observed what I think will cause them trouble.

This thread ought to lure a few more Eagles trolls from hiding. Here come the Rowdys!

The Eagles will collapse come playoff time.
Hurts is the primary reason.
He will choke and it will be big time!
Name me 1 running QB that has ever won an SB.

If they suck what does that say about the Cowboys? Lol

There’s a lot more things that are going to cause the Cowboys trouble than will cause the Eagles trouble. They’re much more solid than the Cowboys.

Prediction:
The 10-4 Cowboys will host the 10-4 Eagles on 12/22.

Well, hopefully your prediction is a lot better than the predictions were for last weeks game. My prediction is you will be wrong.

Point taken... lol
I'm actually not very good at the "rah-rah go team" stuff.
But I'm trying to stay positive. Hanging by a thread.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

Lol yeah. Eagles will collapse. So will every other loser in this division. Cowboys will be the first to do so. The collapse has already begun.


Don’t know who will win the NFC. I’d say the Vikings but they choke a lot. Probably the 49ers once they get healthy.

Nothing wrong with trying to stay positive. However, after what I saw on Sunday I’m not feeling very positive. I’m just going to keep it real and say I don’t see Philly losing three more games by the time they play the Cowboys. If the Cowboys lose next week they’re going to have a real uphill battle winning 10 games with the Giants, Eagles, Washington and Tennessee coming up. If they’re going to stay in this thing they have to win on Sunday or their best football of the season has come and gone.

Honestly I don't have a handle on the eagles we'll get a clue what happens this week

If we're 10-4 on 12/24/22 then I will be jumping for joy. That will mean we split this weekend's games with the Vikings and Giants and then win out till Christmas Eve. It's possible if we get more consistency on offense and our run defense improves. I can see it happening. We'll know what we're made of after this week. If we contain Cook and Jefferson then we got a shot.

Even though I'm still depressed about the Lambeau debacle and feeling a little negative about the team, there's a part of me that can see how things can work out for us too. O crap, I'm getting sucked in again, getting my Hope's up. But I'm a Cowboys fan for life. It's in my DNA

Me too. Hanging on by a very, very thin thread.

Now, this is where the Geagles get their new rookie QB.......
Dang how life is when you have a competent GM????

Unless we play Olivia Newton John over the stadium loud speakers there is no way Dallas will get physical with the Eagles.
