We know what the Cowboys biggest issue is, but they could fix that if they wanted to and have a chance to compete.

The biggest issue is the run defense and I don’t think that’s going to be fixable until the offseason. even the offseason might not fix it because it’s been an ongoing problem for years. If coaching/scheme could correct it wouldn’t be getting worse.

What's a collapse?

They are alreadyd 8-1. 3 more wins probably locks them into the playoffs.

Regardless if they collapse or not if we don't win the games that we should and pull out a win here and there we are not gonna get any closer to them. We have to take care of our business and give them a loss 12-24

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

More like Will Anderson or Jalen Carter. They have a Pro Bowl, MVP candidate QB now..What u smoking?

How did we collapse exactly, I guess the bills in the Eagles collapsed also. They lost two team worse than the Packers
Packers 4-6; Commanders 5-5, which is the worst team. BTW they haven't lost two teams, only once.

I expect Eagle to drop more games but right now only concern I have is Dallas. They got a lot of stuff to work on to improve, if they take care of their own business then I am not worried with philly at all.

Yes we are. We’re always in a position to criticize the Eagles. They lost to the commanders LMAO

You won’t be laughing if we lose to them in a few weeks. Lol They may end up finishing ahead of us, they’re only a game and a half back.

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.
Washington is much better than most think, and they match up really well vs Philly, much better than the Cowboys and the Giants.

I didn't really base my observation on just the Washington game. I had been watching them a little each week.
But I re-watched the Cowboys vs the Eagles from the last time, and on the field the Cowboys actually outplayed them except for a few plays. I've noticed how childish their coach acts.
Against the Texans it really showed. The Texans were a mess, but I noticed how the Eagles got out of sync at times.
They are using a gimmick offense that works until teams scheme for it.
I think Eagles fans are in for a heartbreak.

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.
Elway, Young and Wilson jump to mind. Obviously, they were also light years better from the pocket than Hurts but they were all great "scramblers."
