Philly allows an average of 17.6 ppg

[KJJ]

Philly has a stout defense themselves. We have 20 sacks and they have 17. If we don’t have some resemblance of a running game Sunday night it could be a long game. If we get down by two scores they’ll be teeing off on Rush.

2022
TB ranks 21st in scoring
Bengals rank 16th
Giants 20th
Rams 29th

That's better competition?

Their rankings suck because of what the Cowboys did to them. Not only that but Buccs were healthy when we played them. Nobody can convince anyone that the two teams in the Sb last year aren’t good wins.

What about pressures?

 

[Rayman70]

We just need about 27 and we win this. They will score about 20-24.

Philadelphia has competed against much better offenses than the Cowboys.

The Cowboys have yet to compete against an offense whose point production is ranked in the top half of the league. The Eagles have played teams that are presently ranked #3, #15 and #12.

The Eagles are ranked #5 in producing points, the Cowboys are #3 in preventing points but #24 in producing points.

The Eagles played the #4 ranked defense and scored 29 points.

The Eagles defense doesn't have the pressure of compensating for a wounded offense. The Cowboys defense did improve their rushing stats somewhat but are not nearly as dominant as some have been suggesting. Opponent rushers have averaged 4.7 yards a carry.

Almost every facet of the Eagles productivity is ranked in the top 7.

Even if the Cowboys defense can hold the Eagles to under 20, which I seriously doubt, the Cowboys with Cooper Rush cannot sustain enough drives to keep up. For the Cowboys to have a chance at winning, they will need Dak Prescott.

I agree, this was the game they needed Dak to win. Philly is balanced on both sides of the ball. This is the biggest test so far for the Cowboys defense. They are going to have to make this a low scoring slugfest in order to win. Rush is not going to be able to keep up if the defense has an off night.

They’ve beat up some dogs…..

I get it, won’t acknowledge that the Eagles are a good team until the Cowboys beat them, then it will be a quality win.

They’re only dogs when WE beat them. Philly beats them and they’re going to the SB.

 

[Staubacher]

It's funny.

We dominate the 2-3 defending champion Rams on the road by 12 points.

Eagles barely squeak by the 2-3 Cards on the road because of a shanked FG.

Yet we're supposed to be terrified?

Our QB is undefeated just like theirs

Don't forget they barely got by Detroit & gave up 28 points to a cellar dweller. (31-28)

I don’t know what they are. Do I think they could keep up with the Chiefs or Bills? Nope.

Right. People are really trying to make the argument that Lions and Jags were great wins……

Exactly, and when we beat them they’ll say “Dallas only beats crap teams!”
