News: It's official: Cowboys vs Eagles in NFL Opener

[RonWashington]

Goodell? He LOATHES Jerry. That's why the Commanders and Cowboys were the only teams fined during the 2010 lockout when everyone was front-loading contracts. Source: Todd Williams himself when I had some beers with him.

Yeah when Jerry tried the palace coup and it failed Goodfella became a lifelong enemy .

Can you provide the asterisks on that game with the bad call? Surely it must be noted.

The improper ref call was the called failure in the end zone against Green Bay, which would have put Dallas up by 7. That very call became a rule change instead, for the entire NFL. Wrong being made a ruling fact, afterwards.

A last 4 second field goal would still have been a loss! That was after a 13 win and a playoff win by the rookie.

That would have changed the current record to 3 wins of the 5 playoff games. The next game and the NFC Championship Game would have been against a team that Dallas had already beaten that season.

That may have established an even stronger statistical view as seen today.

 

[blueblood70]

Exactly, they seem to forget. Dak is usually sharp the first game.

It's not that they forget,

I mean he's had probably some off games in game one and he's had some great games in game 1...

I think the point is preseason doesn't matter,​

​

they're going make a big deal about playing 15 to 30 snaps in preseason, they are probably 1000 reps in practice and scrimmages.​

​

I mean that is what camp is for ,you're supposed to be getting in shape preseason games are technically as time has gone on been for the young guys been for the new guys on the team trying to make the team, it's for the rookies, it's for the 2nd year players, the 3rd year players, trying to find their spot..​

It's no longer what it used to be preseason used to be, getting guys who didn't do this year-round they needed the games to get into game shape they needed the games to actually get sharp... .

I mean they're kidding me have you seen Derek Henry and guys like CD Lamb what they do in their off seasons?​

​

I mean the way they're working out the money they spend on their bodies and their health the facilities are open year-round they also sometimes travel to other places and workout with other NFL players I mean this is no longer necessary to have any preseason games except for the young guys.​

I'll say this once again not one player or one team is fully ready no matter what they do in preseason for an hour long game in game one so they're all working to get sharper and in better shape in that very game you can't practice that full speed game plans game planning strategies I mean everybody from every player to coaching staff needs game one but preseason is not going to get them there it is not worth risking your star players in preseason..

Hey that's my opinion...

 

[blueblood70]

no , most of the time last few years hurts is out or dak is out so they dont play each other.
That record goes back to when phil was a crap team also.
They both should play in this 1st game, and it is in phil, on grass I think, and is outdoors.

Dallas should lose this one, but only if shotty has the team prepared, and is innovative and
aggressive, will they have a chance to upset eagles.

not really, They literally posted the actual head to head and Dak is 2-1, I get what you're saying but Prescott has had great head to head games against Jalen Hurts...

So let's get this straight prescott with a much worse team a worse GM a worse roster around him.... I mean not as good a coaching staff somehow has a winning record against Jalen Hurds who has everything?????

you get that? I mean you see where we're going with this, I mean people fail to use that when discussing Prescott in a positive light because all they do is talk about his bad games or his bad moments without mentioning the fact that some of these guys like Matthew Stafford and Jalen Hurts have teams around them that just about any quarterback that doesn't screw it up is going to win a Super Bowl with....

I mean that is exactly the point I try to make around here,

I love Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach but give me a break they were not the heartbeat of this team they never carried this team, that would be one Emmitt Smith, Tony Dorsett, the offensive line, the defensive lines, epic coaching staffs,

I mean do we not see the difference here?

Everyone's always wanting to talk about Romo and Prescott's failures in the playoffs without mentioning the fact that some of the Super Bowl winning quarterbacks here basically played on all in teams ,even though they didn't use that term back in the day...​

How do you think Danny White made it to three straight NFC championship games having a reverse touchdown and interception ratio ??

that's right during the season and during the playoffs he threw more interceptions than touchdowns, the man was the reason they didn't go to the Super Bowl, FACTs. He was carried into those championship games, the same way Mark Sanchez, Blake Bortals and others have been carried into their championship games and yet that's all Prescott gets compared to Romo they talk about a playoff record..​

​

Newsflash, that is not attached to just the quarterback ,do we lose sight of the fact that there's like 48 active players on game day but only the head coach & the quarterback has a record?? really??​

​

because I think they all have playoff records, but why does it not mention it's not mentioned enough.​

There are so many players to blame having those poor records that play other positions they're the ones that screwed up, 11 penalties on the offensive line, not blocking well, from the offensive line no run game, defense getting ran over ,coaching staffs being out coached..

I mean come on guys I'm sick of hearing this the Cowboys last two great quarterbacks have not had the same benefits as some of these other players we keep talking about....

There's a reason guys like Kaepernick and Garoppolo can get to Super Bowls they may not have won it but they're not better than Prescott they're not better than Romo they were on better teams just like Brock Purdy right now has been on a better team..

Nobody is being fair here everybody blames the playoff records on our two quarterbacks and then when they go over and give all the credit to Roger and Troy they forgot to mention the teams that they were playing with they were never asked to carry a team without a run game and without a good offensive line or a good defense, they weren't ever!!

Dallas should lose this one, but only if shotty has the team prepared, and is innovative and
aggressive, will they have a chance to upset eagles.

The last 20 games the Cowboys are 11-9... 20 games doesn't go back to when they were bad by the way you could keep saying that but they keep editing it out and you guys are bad about it too I mean you know the 90s happen right the Cowboys won a lot of games back then and then they won a lot of games in the 2000s when we were bad it comes in cycles but if we just stay in the last ten years that's 20 games it's very close and we've taken division titles from this team and this Super GM and Prescott's 2 and 1 against Jalen Hurts with a worst team we know we have a worst team here we don't have the same coaching staffs and talent that they have and yet we still find a way to win...

That's the fun thing about the rivalries.. This is the true rivalry that's why nobody's really talking about Washington or New York and I know I'm not scared about Washington I don't think they're taking the next step I think that was anomaly last year yes they're a better team than they were with Daniel Snyder but they barely beat our practice squad last year we split with them playing with our backup so this is why the Eagles rivalry is bigger. it has been for some time we've been basically going back and forth winning the divisions more than anybody else in the division..

When healthy the Cowboys will threaten the division more than Washington or New York they will be more of a threat to Philly if we're healthy..

1 - The season is measured by what you do in the post season, not the first game of the season.

2 - If the cowboys win, this place will be filled of dreamers believing the cowboys will win the super bowl baby!

3 - Per the post season in 4 years Hurts has a total of 6 wins vs 3 loses, appearing in two super bowls, winning one of them. Prescott in the post season in 9 years, has a record of 2 wins vs 5 loses, never making it to the super bowl. If Hurts is a loser, Dak should have won at least 4 super bowls by now!

4 - Please see #1. I honestly believe the cowboys will finally get past their post season blues, but it won't be until the GM is given full control of the team and the GM isn't the owner of the same team.

In deference to 2 -. If the Cowboys cover the spread this place will remain filled with dreamers.

In deference to Jalen Hurts, he’s hated here because he reminds Cowboys fans of how poorly their favorite team’s owner/GM manages building a roster. It’s not like Hurts is in the Mahomes, Allen, Burrow category. The other 52 guys and the coaching staff count even more than the QB1. Jerry doesn’t get it.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

F the Igglets!

PS: Aim for that loser Jalen Hurts' knees and take him out early. Teach him a lesson for being a disrespectful jerk and embarrassing Texas!

PSS: Sorry for sounding so mean. I'm in a lot of pain. This "c" is killing me. Thinking of the Igglets and their loser QB upsets me. Apologies to everyone. Just letting off pain. Double apologies to everyone.

If it’s still going to be Sanborn, Murray, and Mazi manning the middle of Dallas’ D come week 1, we probably won’t be seeing a whole lot of Jalen Hurts

Be a better person than rooting for kids to get major injuries that will affect them their entire lives.

[StarOfGlory]

The nightmare however is in #1

In the last 25 years we're 5-13 in the postseason.

Reality is if we win the first game this year, it will be a good win, but it's not the entire season.

Some people want to ignore Dak’s 2-5 playoff record (.285 winning percentage). Dak had almost always been a good to excellent regular season performer. It’s time to be a good post-season performer. Poop or get off the pot as they used to say.

The Dallas QB is better. The Dallas defensive ends are better. The Dallas special teams are better.

This division will now build a very strong winner.

This sport is a dynamic physical confrontation. NO ONE RUNS. Jerry learned that fact well before he left college ball on a National Championship Team.

 

[DZSierra]

This sport is a dynamic physical confrontation. NO ONE RUNS. Jerry learned that fact well before he left college ball on a National Championship Team.

Exactly what has Jerry learned on what it takes to winning a super bowl after Jimmy Johnson left?

Yeah, tell the Eagirls that no one runs anymore... I have little doubt that Fhilly doesn't make the super bowl if they don't get Barkley. Didn't do much in the super bowl, but they would never had made it there without him. Good running back actually can make a average QB look really good

Team sport, no one guy alone...

First, unlike some fans, Cowboys don't run from challenges.

Switzer led a Super Bowl win and won more games in Collegiately and in the NFL than did 'your' Jimmy.

Both Barry and Jimmy did it with close to the same players, not all the same. Success wasn't only because of Jimmy. Bill Parcells walked onto the Training Camp at the Alamodome in San Antonio as well. (much more to a view now, than a Jimmy worship.)

A couple more months and tissues will be getting very expensive. Oh, invest into a current calendar. p.s. your children grow up too.

The Eagles have always been second to Dallas...get real. They won't get consecutive...want to bet?

 

[Concord]

Cowboys are going to punish the Eagles on Opening Night!

They will announce their presence with Authority

 

[CCBoy]

Based on EPA/dropback when trailing in the final five minutes, Dak Prescott ranks No. 6 in the NFL since 2020. Only Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes rank ahead of him. That’s pretty good company to keep.

Jalen Hurts is a much different story. Aided enormously by his All-Star cast, Hurts rarely has to do much heavy lifting as a passer late in games. When he does, the results are rather paltry. Trailing in the final five minutes, Hurts ranks 37th in the NFL, behind names like Bryce Young, Daniel Jones and Mac Jones.

I know you have it in you.

That loser disrespected my country and my state. All because he is badly misinformed, brainwashed and a loser. When asked why he refused to show up with his team to DC to celebrate, he refused to answer like the coward that he really is. He doesn't deserve my respect right now. And I'm not rooting for kids to get injured. I'm rooting for that loser who is a man. Big difference, so back off!

Look in the mirror...his rookie season should have added at least a win and changed your projected crying into a winning percentage here and now. Their being cheated out of a last two minute win would have by itself left 'Da' at 3-5.

Not ignore, then ignorant applies.

You're absolutely right...

CeeDee Lamb & George Pickens – Dallas Cowboys​

The Cowboys made a splash by pairing George Pickens with All-Pro CeeDee Lamb.

Lamb remains the focal point of Dallas’ passing attack, while Pickens brings vertical explosiveness that was missing in 2024.

2024 Season Stats:

• CeeDee Lamb: 101 receptions, 1,194 yards, 6 TDs (11.8 YPC)
• George Pickens: 59 receptions, 900 yards, 3 TDs, (15.3 YPC – with Pittsburgh)

Though Pickens is new to the Dallas Cowboys, his ability to stretch the field should complement Lamb’s versatility.

If their chemistry clicks, this could become the most electric duo in the division.

This could end up being the biggest factor in taking the game 1 against the Eagles.
