Reading on the Eagles forums

[ESisback]

yeah, i wasnt shocked...i was a little surpirsed that they think the cowboys defense is worse than Jax is...i guess they are just focused in on our run defense vs our pass rush. We should get everyone to bbq/grill/smoke wings on Sunday night so we can channel "smoking the birds" !!!

Trust me, the feelings of Philly’s coaches and players are quite a bit different from their fans.

Eagle fans are delusional. Living up here in Eagles land is wonderful listening to the radio when they lose. They all sound like they wanna cry

Especially since they consider their Super Bowl a regular season game against Dallas.

“Dallas week”…

Never heard anyone around here refer to playing
them “Eagles week”.

My wife and daughter are already on notice for Sunday night, they are leaving the house.

That’s ok.

Hopefully they’ll come back with a pizza.

Was poking around this am to see what they are saying, a few themes-

- they think they are going to win going away by 2 td's at least
- most feel the game will be over by halftime because they will jump on us (since they score so much in the first half)
- they feel the JAX defense was better than ours
- They think that they will have multiple interceptions from Rush
- They are confident that the cowboys have no chance and that they will have 150+ yards rushing
- They think there is no hype on their team and all the hype is on Dallas and that the cowboy's defense is vastly overrated


They are confident (as fans) i will give them that....really hope that we put the beat down on them...nothing would give me more joy than watching that on Sunday night

Eagles fans have to believe this. They're 5-0 getting Dallas at home with their backup QB. Losing is not an option. If they lose this game, they're in trouble. Because they're eventually going to Dallas and hopefully we'll have Dak healthy.

Don't blink gentlemen, hold it in for as long as you can. You might miss something.

Oh that reminded me of something. Tomorrow is garbage pick up.

 

[CWR]

no hype on Philly ROFLMAO

this thread reminds me of last year when Carolina was 3-0 before facing us and talking smack on their forums

How did that go?

I was literally about to post the same thing. They have every reason to feel good about their team, but they look to still be compensating from the way we boat raced them, TWICE last season. Back up QB or not this defense will be flying all over the field.

 

[HungryLion]

Acceptance has created this.

Yeah mocking them sure is doing something to solve the issue.

 

[JBond]

Used to hear the same kind of things around here when we thought we had the much better QB. Now that they have Hurts over Rush they are confident. Their excitement started in the offseason when they had an incredible one and there has been nothing to slow their brains down as the Eagles have killed everyone mostly. Looking at their easy schedule you could see how they could have 14 or 15 wins.

I have to agree they have an advantage with Rush at QB. And our defense will me mitigated by Hurts rushing at times. They will score points. I doubt 20 points is going to win this one for us. First to 30 wins it? This is the first true test for our defense.

Containment. Then Mr. Parsons and the rest of the D-line... This is Mr. Hurts... Containment and then smack the crap out of him. We have actual NFL quality players at all three levels. Been a moment since we have had that.

Eagles fans are delusional. This is going to be a tough game to win if the offense plods around like it’s done the last two weeks. The defense will need some help from the offense, Sunday.

 

[Cowboys5217]

I think they're scared.

 

[Blackrain]

I cannot say I completely disagree with any of these things.

If the Eagles jump out early to a big lead, I have doubts Rush can bring them back. If the Eagles make the Cowboys one dimensional, I would say the Cowboys offense will struggle a lot.

- I expect the Eagles to come out smoking early. If Dallas is not ready for the intensity they will fall behind early. The Eagles OL is the best OF the Cowboys will see this year. I am under no illusions that the Cowboys will sack Hurts 5 or more times, or pressure him constantly. It is almost a disadvantage that Dallas played the Rams last week because their OL is so bad. It was not a good tune-up game for the Cowboys. I wish they played a team with a better OL.

- we don't know how good the Cowboys defense is. They have yet to play a powerful offense. Every team they have faced so far has been struggling on offense and this could mask weaknesses in their defense. They very well could be overhyped to some degree.

- again, if the Cowboys become one dimensional I can see Rush throwing a few INTs. The Eagles CBs are very good. Slay may be having the best year of his career.

- The Bucs had 150 rushing against Dallas and they are the 2nd worst rushing offense in the NFL. The Rams are the worst. Washington and Cincinnati are both in the bottom 10 as well. Let's face it, the Cowboys have struggled stopping the run so far this year. They had problems stopping Daniel Jones too. If that continues the Eagles could rush for over 200 yards. The Eagles offensive line is really really good. Jason Kelce may be the best run blocking C in the NFL right now.

We are going to learn a lot about the Cowboys this week. We are going to learn about about Jalen Hurts too. I think Dallas will try to stop the run and make Hurts throw the football.

Just so you know the whole Eagles offensive line is hurt except Lane Johnson.

They all had limited practice so they're offensive line is not exactly 100% at the moment.

The Giants didn't seem to struggle against Green Bay. And Green Bay's defense was supposed to be their strength.

I'm not sure what is so great about the shegirls? I watched the last game against Arizona and honestly what is so great? Went back to some clips of other teams they played and I see nothing that blows me away! Hopefully they open the playbook alittle more for copper rush..

 

[Pompey-Cowboy]

Personally, I'm just delighted that this is week 6's most relevant game, never saw that coming after week 1......

 

[infamousstyles]

I can see this going one of two ways. This is either the official dallas defense coming out party or we get some defensive humble pie (which may not be a bad thing in the long run). I think both makes us better and both makes wins in the playoffs more attainable. (Which is all I care about).

 

[Longboysfan]

Philadelphia, where quality of life is supreme.

Like any other Democratic inner city.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Eagles gonna spank the Cowboys like red headed step children.

only if dak starts and plays.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

The fact that they are so arrogant and cocky, is exactly why it would be so sweet for the Cowboys to win on Sunday night. Losing to a Cooper Rush lead Cowboys team at home, will have Eagles fans crashing down hard and the meltdown in Philly on Monday would be Epic to listen to on Philly radio.lol

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

no hype on Philly ROFLMAO

How did that go?

Yeah, there are some NFL analysts who already where putting the Eagles in the Super Bowl after the beat the Vikings, but they say there is no hype around their team? lol

 

[jazzcat22]

First, it must be nice to have fans that back their own team on their own forum.
I mean, if you go by what is posted on here, half of this board are more pro Eagles than Cowboys.

Second, last year as we were making our way toward the NFCE title, our own fans said, yeah, but we haven't played anybody, we will get bounced in the 1st round....which we were...but that is not the point. The point is the team was looking good, and many did not support how good they looked at times. Only crapped on them.

So now Eagles have not really played any body either, but yet they ARE a SB team. Hmm, sounds like double standards again.
No one is saying they will get bounced in the 1st round because of that.

Just another day of entertainment I guess.
