Dallas Cowboys (-2) vs. Philadelphia Eagles

© Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports
There’s a reason we’re high on Dallas selecting a top receiver in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Even with Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, Dallas’ offense needs another playmaker. Now, with Dak Prescott dealing with an injury to his shoulder, it’s going to be very interesting to see if the Cowboys lean more on Ezekiel Elliott than they have all season in Week 16.

Regardless of which Cowboys gets the heavy workload offensively, the big reason we’ve put Dallas on upset alert in NFL Week 16 is that its defense isn’t doing it right now. The Los Angeles Rams just took a sledgehammer to this unit, and even though the Eagles come into Sunday’s game with two healthy receivers, we see them having the ability to dictate offensively and win this game at home.

I can see it. I hope we win. But Philly can adjust better than us. As far as a coaching change? Well we will see. I will not ever submit my fandom from the Cowboys however. I'm here for the long haul. Go Cowboys!

Written like someone who didn’t see the game last week or even know the score. It was 37-7 in the fourth before we went prevent you chew up clock. The exact antithesis of taking a sledgehammer to a defense

Even with the two garbage time touchdowns how in the hell could he even say that lol?

.....Um, what?

Right? What does that even mean?

 

[glimmerman]

Right? What does that even mean?

Maybe they meant that they had a sledge hammer taken to them.

.....Um, what?

Yea, what a bizarre thing to say?

Obviously the writer didn’t watch the game, but even if he just looked at the box score he’d know better.

What a clown.

This guy has the credentials of Pete Prisco.

It could happen though. It’s not an upset. Division rival, on the road, for the division

Or written by someone who has never used , or even seen , a sledgehammer.

Or an American football game

They may have taken a sledgehammer to the game, but they never used it. Besides it was just a 2 1/2lb stubby.

Every time everyone expects the Cowboys to win they throw up a huge dud. When all odds against them, they rise to the occasion. Hard to tell which Cowboys team will show up tomorrow. Eagles will come out swinging, that’s for sure... can Cowboys throw it back? I hope so.

 

[Rayman70]

GIVEN THE STAKES and where this game is being played, it will be very difficult for us to get a W. We will need to be on point early and then maintain that all game.

What game was he watching?

Last year's playoff game on NFL Network...
