Teams have been keeping it close with Philly, can we?

[Coogiguy03]

Several games this year, teams have given the eagles a scare, by keeping them off guard, and making them actually work hard. Can we put in a good fight to make them work hard??? If we do, I KNOW we will be successful and come through with a win. Please give your thoughts

What kind of question is this?

Washington stinks, why wouldn't Dallas be able to?

There's one common denominator in teams that have either beaten Philly or played them very well. YOU HAVE TO MATCH THEIR PHYSICALITY. Getting great physical play from our Oline and Dline is what we need. Period. If we can run effectively and push the pocket consistently on defense we beat Philly.

see arizona game lol. We should be able to keep it close but if their front kicks our OL tail then we get deer in headlights dak and it could end up ugly. But i think your right we should keep it close.

Based upon teams have slowed their offense, and everybody and I mean everybody is putting points up against them...if we struggle to score and stop them, we are not who many of you think we are, lol. I still have no clue what to expect

The Eagles fumbled twice inside the 5. That should have been a 21-28 point win.

Last year's first Eagles game was like the SF game this year. Big national media game, Eagles came out full force to play, and had the backup Cowboys QB on top of it. A more recovered Cowboys played the second game and won albeit, against Eagles backup this time.

Look forward to this week's matchup. QB vs QB. Some say Eagles are struggling vs last year. Maybe in that they aren't dominating as much, but still only have one loss. Not going to be easy. If Cowboys can win this game, my faith is renewed they are fighting for Playoff sucess after that San Fran disaster.

The first series or 2 will tell the story. Normally in these games, we go 3 and out quickly, and the opposition has a huge drive.

I can see these "yeah but do you remember when we lost to the cards" posts going on for years to come.

You mean can we just stay on the field with them?

Agree. Very moody team. Easy to predict what will happen sometimes by the first few series. That's the last few years. Always surprised when they comeback from a downer first quarter.

Its indicative of a couple things 1 our fanbase is emotional and 2 is the league is week to week. Anything can happen

Prescott will be coming in hot off his best game, he has no fear of Philly like he does SF.

Their secondary is soft, if we get a lead on 'em; we should and can pressure Hurts into a loss

When Philthy attempts to punch Dallas in the face, just duck. If they can withstand the beginning, Dallas has a good chance at a win. Tough, physical teams give Dallas problems.

 

[SlammedZero]

While I understand there are obviously exceptions and outliers in history, this is a division game. The 2 best teams in the division at that. It'll be a slugfest. I don't see either team running away with the game.

I would say the common denominator is committing to the run.

SanFran is as physical as they come. Eagles out physicaled them and delivered a beat down.

Teams like the Jets and commanders....that just keep running running running.....even if it's for 2 or 3 yards a pop, shorten the game, make them impatient, and flip the script.

It seems counterintuitive since they're the #1 rush defense, but that's how they are built, to make you abandon the run and force you to pass pass pass. If you refuse to fall into that trap, it screws up their plan

If we can force Hurts into ill-advised throws we have a good chance. We have the pass rush and playmakers on defense to do just that. Be aggressive!

Ugh, it sure would be nice to get that 49ers monkey off of Dak's back. Has to happen sometime........right...........RIGHT??!!!

If Micah doesn’t get schooled again in Philly

That sound like a good plan to use against every team the Cowboys play.
