If I were an Eagles fan, I'd love it. He's got nothing to lose and he instills some confidence in his guys against their #1 rival. He still believes in his team and no coach in the NFL shows that more than he does. Time after time, he's put it on his guys and most of the time they come through for him. Think every player on that team didn't get a pick me up after that loss with what he said?
If the Cowboys had lost that Niners playoff game after Johnson's guarantee, the media would have had fun with it for a week and then who'd care?
The fact is Pederson feels he has the better team, just as I have until proven otherwise, and if he's wrong no one's going to care. He's counting on his team being a counter puncher after a tough loss and putting it on them in a back to back away game looks like good strategy to me.
Some here think that will fire up the Cowboys but I have doubts about the psyche of this team until I see them respond to a losing skid. A team needs more leaders than just the QB.
