Eagles had ANOTHER game end of year with 6+ sacks.

Cowboys had ANOTHER game end of year with 0-1 sack.

None of our key losses are coming back. Front 7 looks winded.

Shame on the coaches for #11 having to get on a knee to tell those idiots to let them get their breath.

They could have done the same thing too on the 4th the Eagles ran for a TD. You could tell the defense is winded.

Safeties are going to have to save this season. 4 solid vets out who are key for the run and pass defense - NT, MLB, and 2 CORNERS.

Love the win, but this is parity. Only the hot teams go on now, or those who can survive the injuries. Jags at this point have a better chance to go all the way than our Boys if they can't get the momentum back.

Our top three pass rushers, Parsons, Lawrence and Armstrong, are either dealing with injury or have been sick. I'd like to see us give them the next two-plus weeks off to let them heal up for the playoffs. Play Williams, Fowler and McKinley instead. We don't have to win these two games since we're locked into the fifth seed unless Philly somehow loses both of its remaining games.

Of course I wasn't speak of the last two games, only the Eagles game and the observation that multiple times Minshew dropped back, was rushed and threw the ball out of bounds from the pocket. He did it 3 times in a row to end one drive.

I would like to see Dak do that more often than he does. A simple throwaway is much better than a sack. Of course, Romo had the same problem, so it's either the type of QBs they are or bad coaching (even thought we've had different staffs).

I expected Dallas to win at home with Philly playing a backup QB but it's very alarming this defense gave up 34 against a backup

They gave up 27 against a very good team. Minshew played a great game and hasn’t always been a backup. Minshew had 2 stud WRs, a great TE, and an excellent o-line.

Meanwhile, we put up 40 on one of the best defenses in the league. You think Hurts is worth an additional 13 points?

I don’t, and neither will Vegas.
