Next week vs Philly is critical

[Cowboy Brian]

If we're able to win we'll have the tiebreaker over them. After todays occurrences of us destroying the Commanders and Philly moving to 3-3, the Giants at 0-6 are surprisingly in the Bridgewater sweepstakes (who's excited for the hype of what they will do with the pick... I'm guessing they'd be able to trade it for 3+ first and second rounders... hopefully Jacksonville loses more)...

The NFCE is now between Philadelphia and us. Next week we face off in Philly, this game is our seasons critical success factor.

it's not "our season's critical success factor," but it is very important.

This next game is important, but it's not essential. I'll worry about it tomorrow in any case, for now I just want us healthy.

 

[Deep_South]

It's gonna be a war for 1st place.

I'd argue that it is. You know who we play week 17? Philadelphia. That could be both teams at 7-8 for the division.

You really think they are going to give up on Sheli? Man I don't know, I could see them taking Clowney maybe but not a QB. Not yet at least.

No, it isn't.

It's 2 teams at 3-3 fighting for a 1 game lead in the division with 9 games left to play.

I don't see them drafting a QB. If they end up with #1 I predict it'll be a bidding war for the first overall pick, they could easily get a 3 first, 3 second round pick haul ala Commanders paying for RG3 (and that was for #2 overall and if I'm not mistaken they were moving up from #4).

It is critical. You have a chance to be up a game and have a win over every NFCE team.

We were a game up a few weeks ago when we were 2-1. Now we're 3-3 and tied. No, it's not.

With Phully hurry up high tempo offense, they will try to run it a lot ot gas our DL as we are very thin.

Romo and our offense has to help our defense, with sustained long drives to keep time of possession and score a lot of points

We weren't playing a division rival that is tied for us for 1st that following week. Forget about what happened a few weeks ago. We're in mid-late October. This is a critical game. Saying a division game for first place isn't critical is nuts.

 

[crashintonickdm]

its gonna come down to week 17, and finally its in dallas. this game is important, but itll come down to that 2nd game.

 

[mldardy]

I really wasn't overly impressed with Philly today. They are what they always are a big play offense but if that isn't working there is little else underneath. They were also letting that Mike Glennon make plays on them today. That defense is still porous. They have no one to match our WR's/TE's.

I'm going to save this post when this game becomes irrelevant weeks down the road. The Eagles are going to lose more games than the Cowboys will.

save it. copy it to notepad, remember it, write it on your forehead. I don't care.

We need to be somewhat healthly because the eagles will run no huddle all game and their running game and screen game could tear us to shreds.

Murray back is a must, not scared of their D but the Cowboys have zero confidence in any other running back at the moment.

A win puts us at 3-0 in the division. I'm excited!!! I know we lost Ware on the line and Murray. I love how we managed to stick together as a whole to stop RGIII.

As far as Philly goes, it'll be a tough game and we need to come together again like we have been since last season. Their offense is scary!! Desean is a deep threat, Cooper can catch anything that touches his hands, Avant is consistent in getting open once the play breaks down, and McCoy can strike from anywhere.

All of these things combined make me worry.

Y'all are the defensive coordinator for this game. What would be your game plan???

 

[Romo2Ogletree]

Funny, there's atleast one guy each week that says this is a must win.

Get to the young QB and cover desean over the top.
