If we win against Philly - we win out!

[Verdict]

After last week's loss, this game is now a fork in the road for the team for this season.

Yes we really needed to beat Atlanta because of tie breakers. If we had beaten Atlanta they probably didn't have enough games left to beat us for a wild card spot unless they win out because that would have in effect given us a 3 game cushion on them with the tie breaker.

His sceme vs ours looks "other-worldly".

I have no doubt if Dak was an Eagle in that offense, he’d be right on par with Wentz, probably better because Dak is a little better using his legs than Carson. I shutter at that thought. Linehan, schematically is not where we need him to be in the passing game when it comes to passing routes, the overall fluidity of the game.

 

[Verdict]

I know I'm notoriously bad at handicapping games, but I can't imagine why people think we're going to win this one right now without getting players back.

This series is about one team savaging the other in the most brutal way possible when they have the advantage. And PHI has the advantage right now. If we have no LT and no MIKE, we've got no chance. what are you guys seeing that I'm not?

This is a classic trap game for Philly in the same way the Falcons were for us last week. Philly doesn't "need" the win and we desperately need a W. Desperate teams are really hard to beat. Dallas is desperate this week.

The players should play as a unit a little bit over their heads. Philly knows that we are a beat up team and should come in a bit over confident. Every team also has a bad game or two at some point in the season. Philly is due for one.

Our DL could give Wentz fits and even though he has played well they have played a soft schedule. He is still young and young QBs make mistakes under pressure. I think we may get a couple of turnovers this game.

If we play good, solid football we have a good chance of winning this game. If we commit any turnovers in this game early, it could get very ugly for us though.

All of that is true. I still can't get past the matchup disadvantages with Lee and maybe Tyron out, though. The NFL is a weird league, though.

I agree with his premise as well but trap games really don't apply to Dallas-Philly games.

the eagles have huge motivation to win this game if the beat cowboys the division is theirs the lock up a playoff spot before thanksgiving

 

[john van brocklin]

Everyone is very down and I totally get why. It was depressing to see the falcons game. But really Philly is the best team we play the rest of the year. It will be hard but I believe we will have a much better showing against Philly and may even win it.

If we do, we will run at least 4 wins off in a row! Then Zeke is likely back and with him I'm sure we take the last 2. That gets us into the tourney and anything can happen then.

Hold your head up guys. We still have a decent chance to get in the playoffs this year.

I will have what he is drinking !

 

[DenCWBY]

Depends on the money and the terms.

I think Jones could get a good coach like Harbaugh if he was willing to pay him. Jones gets the "meddler" label, but Parcells would vouch for him otherwise.

And besides, any coach's contract is guaranteed. Harbaugh gets paid $7 million a year or whatever for however long the deal goes regardless.

One things for sure, nobody would be as bad as what he dealt with with York and Baalke.

Good point!! We need a no nonsensical leader who has carte blanche to bring in his own guys if need and has a heavy hand on all the player and coaching personnel that stays and goes. Jerry is going to have to let go of his favorites if so required.

Yes. There are no sure things. Dallas will not be able to play as well without Zeke, Lee and Tyron. But we may get a better game out of these guys than they should play.

I was thinking the same thing. If we win SNF we will be 9-4 going into the Oakland matchup with only one more game left for Zeke to serve his suspension.

It hinges on Smith being out there at LT. We can't have Green out there and win.

 

[Elziegreat83]

Can someone refresh my memory on tiebreaker scenarios for a wildcard spot if 3 or more teams have the same record? It's not head to head in that situation right?

 

[lostar2009]

Even if we lose to Philly the next 3 games (Chargers, Commanders, Giants) are very winnable and might be the easiest stretch of the schedule. Assuming Lee and Tyron stay healthy I think we can beat Oakland, then Zeke comes back for what will likely be a must win game in Seattle. I think we can lose 2 more and be in realistic wild card contention, assuming we beat both teams that could contend for a WC spot in Washington and Seattle. Obviously I'd like to win out too but realistically I think we can drop one of the Philly games and the Oakland game. The 3 game stretch mentioned above is what is "must win." That said, the second Skins game scares me.

I agree we can mop up the rest of this schedule and we will split with Philly at the end. Most likely they will rest their starters the last game of the season. But winning this game would be huge for us. Especially if Atlanta start to tank the rest of the season.

I wouldn't expect Atlanta to tank. I think you are about to see them get on a run and if they make the playoffs don't be surprised to see them in the super bowl.

Atlanta? They haven't beaten a playoff caliber team yet. Their only real victory is on us. Don't be fool by our coaching staff dumbness to think the Falcons are suddenly legit.

 

[theebs]

I’m very concerned Dallas fights their tails off and gets blown out in both games this week.

The season wouldn’t be over but it will make December twice as tough.

Just have to go get to 10-6 with a win over Seattle somehow

Come on really? You can't really believe that?

 

[Greasylake17]

It might have meant the Cowboys drafting Wentz as well? Not bashing Dak, but Wentz looks great.

Wentz is going to be a star. He has played so so well this year. He is going to be a force to reckon with the next 10 years.
