Game Day Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys Postgame

I thought the same thing. I'm not sure his right foot was down.

Philly did a good job getting the next play off before we could challenge.

Win on the books, but the players know this was a loss. Confidence has to be low after this.

Interesting viewpoint. We beat the best team in the NFL.

 

[NumOneQB]

Any given Sunday. A win is a win. Learn from the mistakes and get better next week.

Not sure Hurts would’ve made that much of a difference

Hurts would have broken our heart by effectively running the ball. Dude is hard to stop.

Nice win, but there's no way this team is winning a playoff game. Imagine if Hurts was playing. Holy hell.....

They certainly are likely to win the first playoff game which will be against a losing team if the Cowboys are the 5.

 

[Risen Star]

Someone tell Philly next week that we bought ourselves lunch for beating the Eagles.

Game ball: Damone Clark

Hurts would have killed us running with the lack of contain, but no way he would have thrown the ball any better than Minshew. He had a great game.

Hurts would get killed trying to run while he is injured.

Win on the books, but the players know this was a loss. Confidence has to be low after this.

The Eagles now have several key players hurt and Sanders fumbled twice. I'm sure they are not confident.

Hurts should never be mentioned in MVP convos ever again.

Sirianni can also suck one.

Yeah, I think he was cocky in his post game hand shake comment to MM. Told him "we will see you again" or something like that.

 

[rambo2]

great play by Dak apart from the ridiculously easy throw he missed for a pick 6 and the whole sequence in the final drive was abominable.

Loved the td passes and the deep ball to Hilton.

 

[rambo2]

Nothing to celebrate.
This is a one and done playoff team

I'd bet you a lot of money on that. Especially if they are the 5.

 

[rambo2]

Better hope there is, or we will have a short stay in the playoffs.

They are very likely to win the first playoff game and they are capable of beating any team in the playoffs.

 

[CWR]

I'm wondering if this qualifies as a "big game." I'm guessing it doesn't since Dak won it on his arm.

 

[rambo2]

I don't really think there's much difference between any of the top teams in the NFC. It just seems like we're more likely to be the one to have a bad game at the wrong time. Hope they prove me wrong on that.

The Cowboys have already beaten the 1 and the 2 and scored 40 points against both of them.

The defense shouldn’t be relied on or should we expect anything from them, our money is on the opposite side of the ball. We pay the most in the league for our offense to produce, if that’s 30 points, 40points then they need to win. We pay close to league minimum for our defense(that’s decimated with injuries right now) so expecting them to be good/great is just insanity. That defense gave the offense 4 extra possessions that they shouldn’t have needed or expected. If we want to change anything in the future start spending money on defensive talent(something we haven’t done in 20+ years). With Dak taking up so much space of the cap, he’ll have to get better without the likes of great oline, ceedee, pollard, Zeke, bc that money will need to be invested in defense. Until we do that any talk about how poorly the defense performed should be silenced especially when they gave our offense four turnovers that they squandered away two weeks in row. Today that defense allowed a lot of yards, but only gave up 27 points not 34. Is it good enough to win, no not likely, because no offense will score on each possession, but the number one paid offense should score almost every possession when that’s what you invested in.

I get what you’re saying.

Would like to see our offense at full strength against the niners D.

Could be interesting.

 

[rambo2]

Most importantly, Lane Johnson and Maddox Injury updates could really shape the playoffs.

That is right and they may rush Hurts back too early if the Cowboys win on Thursday.

 

[Risen Star]

Something special's happening.

How is he hard to stop with a messed up shoulder?
