This is dirty by the NFL.
Bloody hell.
The NFL knows how strong the Eagles are. The NFL knows how weak we are.
NOTHING MORE THAN AN AMBUSH AT OUR EXPENSE.
The establishment wants ratings gold as America's team is humbled for the haters to enjoy.
AMBUSH!

Well maybe the starting QB should get some reps in pre season so he doesn't like an armature for game #1

lol. You are in for a major letdown. We will be in the running for a top 5 pick.

I don’t think it’s going to be quite that bad - the offense is going to be explosive and the defense is going to be a liability. With the draft and the pickins move they have middle of the road written all over them

Not necessarily. That will be the hardest game of the year. The Cowboys will get better as the season progresses. The Eagles won't.

The Eagles will be breaking in a new OC, new RG, new LB with Dean still injured, new edge, new rotational DT, new safety, new 5th DB. They have room to get better. Difference is that they are closer to their ceiling than we are, so we have more room to grow.

This is not true at all but hey you keep narratives like that going and there'll be people like me coming in to shut it down he sure didn't look rusty against that Tampa Bay team that eventually won the Super Bowl and Bradys first year there he went toe to toe with Brady so let's how about this how about how the offensive line come out not flat how about the running game come out not flat how about not open the game with an easy touchdown from the defense how about I have six penalties in about 15 minutes and get behind the chains all day that is what happens in those games you're describing he looks flat.

It is what it is he doesn't need anymore reps you know many reps these guys get through all the mini camps camps training camp like they get 10 times the amount of reps somehow you guys tell me that say the 30 reps over a couple of games at most is somehow going to set them up for the regular season game one more than all of training camp yo when he scrimmages and 7 on 7 that they play how many reps did they throw balls they don't say it's not against live full speed competition is that what you think you see in preseason against spare parts I mean so our starter has to risk injury coming off an injury because you think he needs more reps after 9 years in the league and I'll have all offseason to get as many reps as he wants but sure we should put him at harm's way because you think so...

I say it's untrue and he came off a major injury in 2020 and in 2021 through 30 seven touchdowns and ten interceptions how's that for rust how is that for coming back off an injury how's that for letting the coaching staff decide if they play him in preseason at all and expose him to an unnecessary injury I don't care about the 4 or 5 quarterbacks and that's probably at most of veterans see 15 to 30 snaps in the preseason game and how that's going to help their whole season did that help Patrick Mahomes not get his **** beat in the Super Bowl 19 or 20 weeks after game one and by the way Patrick Mahomes hasn't looked good in two years I mean he still looked solid but he hasn't lived his own reputation so all those reps and preseason how little they are isn't technically helping his game because they won more with the run game and defense and coaching the last two years and then depending on Patrick Mahomes to do it all...​

So what your trying to explain that playing against a live opponent at full speed isn’t beneficial. I thought the goal was to improve the team.

These guys get 10 times the reps in camps and practice then they do almost the entire season, you think they don't throw the ball a lot in training camp OTA's minicamp, practicing on the side, dak actually has a half a field in his backyard, you don't think he gets all the reps...

something nobody wants to bring up,

In 2020 he nearly had his ankle snapped off literally couldn't be much worse of an injury for a quarterback especially one that semi-mobile everyone's talking about he wasn't going be ready for the season he's never will be the same, yada yadda yada​
​
and he had one of his best seasons ever at 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions so why don't we let the coaches decide how many reps he needs and not expose them in preseason I'm all for letting the coaches decide if he needs time in preseason or just get him about 4 times the amount of reps he's gonna get in any preseason games together probably in two days of practice.​
​
Seriously 7 on 7,11 on 11, scrimmages,​
​
I mean these guys are throwing the ball a lot like way more than they even throw during the regular season... What a quarterbacks throw over an entire season between 400 and 600 balls?​
​
MVP runner up all pro In the 2023 NFL season, Dak Prescott had 614 attempts at passing. He completed 392 of them, resulting in 4,516 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions. His passer rating for the season was 105.9​
​
So now I'm betting they throw more than that in TC. Not sure where the rust was in that year or 2020 I mean people are talking about the first game while everyone's going to look like they're not in game form for at least 1/2 you can't simulate full games not even in preseason and why would you expose your quarterback at year 9 to any unnecessary damage?​

Again you’re throwing the ball against air. Let the bullets fly and see how he and the team respond. Remember the infamous Texas coast offense that had to be revamped. Things that could have identified if you play a couple of series

Stop with the top 10 non sense.. please. I get it you are the biggest Stan here next to the bozo who decided to show up again but its comical at this point that you will die on that hill that he is a top 10 QB

No particular order:

Allen
Stafford
Mahomes
Jackson
Stroud
Daniels
Hurts
Love
Burrow
Goff


Honestly tell me who you are taking out of this list to move Dak in over? And btw this leaves out Herbert, Bryce Young, and Bo Nix who you can argue could be ahead of Dak.

If Dak stays healthy and comes out and puts up the numbers and wins a "a single" playoff game then sure let's revisit.... but you guys really need to stop holding on to the "1 vote MVP runner up" year.

Now this is a “great” post.

This game could come down to which team is the healthiest going into the season.

There are the preseason injuries, the previous season rehabilitations and, of course, the "surprise" injuries to the O-line two days before the game. It's a tradition now.
