Since 2020 the Cowboys are 1-4 against the Eagles

[RonnieT24]

when someone other than Dak Prescott starts at QB. Their only win came in the Covid year.
The offense has averaged 15.2 points per game in that span.

Meanwhile they are 4-1 in games Prescott has started.
The offense has averaged 37.6 points per game in that span.

I shall say no more. If one does not get it by now then one never shall.

...hooray?

 

[RS12]

The desperation to salute mediocrity knows no bounds.

Thanks for pointing out that Dak is injury prone and missed half of those very important divisional games. Just another reason he is a significant problem.

Great, but I didn't realize beating the Eagles was the main goal of the team and its quarterback. So, now why don't you do that for his playoff games since 2020?

Oh wait, nevermind. If you do not get the above by now, then you never shall.

I swear that 30 years of winning anything meaningful beyond the regular season has caused many to lower the standards of what success it to the point of the OP. And it is truly a sad state of affairs. Don't get me wrong, I applaud the regular season stuff but to say someone "does not get it by now", as if that's the end-all-be-all goal, based on regular season success is well, laughable.

To be honest that was my first thought too....Dak has missed as many eagles games as he played in since 2020. He certainly isnt ancient yet, but thats not a good sign for a guy getting into his mid 30s.

Dak has been a better QB than some give him credit for, but we shouldn't have handed him 60+ a year without seeing more this year.

I really hope he rebounds next year, because the front office is paying him to be the guy over the next couple years. Regardless, I'm a supporter of spending a day 1 or day 2 draft pick over the next year or 2 to develop the next guy.

A healthy Prescott for sure would have given Dallas a better chance, but I'm not so sure he carries the team in this case. Philly was playing hard. Dak has always played well vs. Philly, but it doesn't mean he would have this year. We have a lot of injured players out.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Amazing

 

[DIAF]

Us losing twice to the Eagles this year isn't because Dak wasn't the QB, Dak is losing both those games regardless because this entire team just stinks and the Eagles are legit unfraudulently good for perhaps the first time since their SB season

If Dak were playing, do you think they would've shut down Lamb for the rest of the games? Just curious.

If you don't beat the eagles in the past several years you aren't winning the division.

'Injury prone'. Haha. Now that term takes me back. Back to a time on this forum when ten or so members used that term regularly and profusely.

It was a time (not really that long ago) when those same members would make proclamations. Proclamations like, "Any other quarterback can replace Romo and not have injuries that will sideline them like they do him!"

Sure. A few folks tried logic. Logic like injuries are unpredictable. That anatomical injuries (especially skeletal in nature) are the result of physics-related trauma minus existing physiological deficits like diminished bone density.

Nonetheless, logic was laughed off the forum. Then that faithful day happened and Romo's successor was officially named. And those same members triple-downed on their proclamation that the term 'injury prone' for the position would be forgotten--along with Romo.

I guess life does have a laugh track.

/admittedly stupid yet somewhat self-satisfying rant

Another thread by a Dak over Dallas fan

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Another takeaway from this is Dak has only managed to be active for 50% of those games

Folks don't like facts my man

I mean when you come up and try to make a valid point like Prescott's nine and four against the eagles but somehow, we got swept by the eagles this year, so the gap got bigger, and the Cowboys have no shot competing next year, even though with Prescott he's 33 and eight against the NFC East... if anything, you want to mock the playoffs or what the record is with Prescott against the rest of the league that's fine ,

but we're talking about the gap in the NFC East, IMHO nothing's changed, not in my opinion, the Cowboys have always challenged the eagles the Cowboys have always been good against the NFC East the injuries like 2020 and this year were excessive and by the way this year I think we're more excessive, because it happened all year happened before the season started it kept happening weekly we are losing starters losing the depth when you lose your top 4 pass rushers and your top 4 borders is not going to be a good year....​

nobody wants to hear that, because that's not their narrative, they're trying to say that there's a gap now so big between Washington and the eagles that we won't recover in this offseason and we're going to be bad once again and that's a fallacy because we can't tell the future but the past history says that with Prescott if you give any kind of resemblance of a solid run game a decent online and a defense that at least can hold a team to a reasonable score he will beat them he will beat the NFC East he will beat the eagles....

To me that's just really overreaction and recency bias to say the Cowboys are now losing pace in the NFC East and I'm saying that's garbage it's a down year like in 2020 when the Washington team got lucky did they win the division at like 7:00 and 9:00 I mean I don't remember but it takes that kind of year when you're better teams lose their players and some other team gets credit for being better when they're really not...

But if you want to keep receipts somebody can come back here and refresh this mid-season next year if we're healthy and yet we're still getting our butts beat by the eagles or the team called Washington...

Why are there 3 posts about it since yesterday that are claiming the gap got bigger because the eagles dominated our preseason roster our backups so yeah of course there's gonna be some that come and dispute it I mean if you guys wanna try to have the whole negativity thing is there's a gap in the NFC East now so large and we're only using recency bias you know us losing so badly to the eagles and that they think Washington is such a better team that we will no matter what next year not be competitive with those two teams and we're gonna remain in the bottom of the NFC East regardless of injuries without bringing up facts that this is one of the most injured years the Cowboys have had to ever go through 2020 was pretty bad and we bounce back from that but now because we got throttled by the eagles that the gap is big go read all the in game post game and all the stuff on the eagles so yeah we're gonna talk about the eagles and NFC East because others are using it as a barometer to have next year's gonna go then you're gonna have to listen to the positive side of it the flip side...

Anything else I can help you with I mean if we have to read that garbage then you have to read the alternative theories on the same subjects...

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Hey look, we lost.

The Dak over Dallas fans that haven’t been around for a couple weeks show back up.

 

[blueblood70]

If Dak were playing, do you think they would've shut down Lamb for the rest of the games? Just curious.

yes, IF the same exact fact existed and they were out of it.. he was that injured and played until we were mathematically eliminated but last game, he fell harder on it and us more sore post-game than usual so they shut him down.

if there was something to play for ie ES22 to get into the playoff's played on similar injury.
