Only thing that matters is stopping Barkley

Can’t let him get record. Load the box with 7-8 every play he’s in. Stop the run. That should be the goal. Problem is I’m not sure we could even stop them running with even loading the box but you gotta try.

With the gifts they got from Saquon and Jalen for Christmas, those linemen might be motivated to block even harder tomorrow.

I don't give a diddly, darn about any other players or teams. I'm more focused on what the heck is going on with us, and how's it going to play out?
I just have a weird feeling, Jerry's got something out there that we are just totally unaware.

The Dallas secondary is as thin as it has been all season...that is a valid problem area as well.

Defensive end Bryce Huff is listed as questionable after having his 21-day window to return from injured reserve to active duty opened nearly two weeks ago. Huff was seen in the locker room on Friday with a big cast over his left wrist.

Mix that with loss of their quarterback...sound familiar?

Oren Burks is likely next-man-up at linebacker in place of Dean, and as far as drop-offs go, this is Thelma and Louise driving off a cliff at the end of the 1991 movie. It’s a long way down. Burks is a veteran, to be sure. He has played in 106 games but has logged just 43 defensive snaps with the Eagles since signing as a free agent from the 49ers on March 17. Dean has been a force this season. Paired with Zack Baun, the duo has become one of the most productive linebacker corps in the NFL. Dean is second on the team with 128 tackles behind Baun’s total of 144. Dean has three sacks, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries.

Conclusion:
Injuries have played a significant role in shaping the performance of the Cowboys’ defensive backs this season. The absence of key players at various points has forced younger or less experienced players into starting roles, impacting overall cohesion and performance. The Eagles have stayed healthy this year and other starters like Darius Slay and C.J. Gardner-Johnson all come into this week with a clean slate. That’s led to a team allowing the second-fewest passing yards this year.

I think you're safe. You're not giving up 268 yards.

But if you're talking not seeing an Eagle in general have the rushing record, then lose the game but keep him in check. If Philly wins and Barkley has 100-120 yards, he's limited to likely sitting out next week. Even with a Philly win, If he's sniffing the record, and with Sirianni being the child he is, Saquon gets pounded next week instead of resting in prep. for a tough home playoff opener. If the Cowboys win, all bets are off for next week cuz the division will still be in the balance.

There's a good chance Barkley breaks the record. He gets an extra game to do it though so it's not quite as impressive. Same as all the other records that have fallen since another game was added.

Barkley is going to break 2,000 yards in Dallas.

I want to see Jerry's face when that happens.
