The Eagles just kicked the Cowboys butt thread

[CATCH17]

It ain't over yet, you will see a different Dallas team when we play them in Philly. We just looked tired and sluggish all game, no excuses but the Eagles took it too us and were better prepared.

All of that aside. How can we schematically get better?

I believe the Dallas offense is much more talented than Philly but when you have a coach that can scheme like Kelly it's hard to match up.

This is one of those games where you just completely forget that it happened, you burn the tapes of the game, shred the news paper clippings, and delete every post associated with the game. It never happened.

Kinda like after the Saints game last year, or the thumping we took in the playoffs from Min.

Exactly, look what burning all those game tapes got us... we went on to go deep into the playoffs each of those years ......

 

[dstovall5]

Or it could be that a much better team whipped our arse

That very well could be the case, I'd like to think this is just an anomaly. I guess we'll find out soon enough though huh?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Played dumb, careless football today. I'm not even as upset as I thought i'd be. Maybe because my level of upset was at its peak when we were down 14-0.Cowboys played sloppy and careless. Eagirls are a better team at this point. I have no problem admitting it. We knew it was gonna come down to which defense would show up.

 

[yimyammer]

That was about a demoralizing loss as I could have imagined

I could write a small novel about the ramifications of this game going forward (& not just for this season) but will save y'all the brain damage as I'm sure the reasons are obvious to all

Agree. Most of us expected the Cowboys to win despite the short week of rest-prep. What went down was vile...

 

[Blue&Silver]

The good news is it can't get much worse. The bad news is Eagles are 10-0 at home, and have been dominating at home. Their weakness was on the road. That's not good news.

 

[KJJ]

The Cowboys losing today was disappointing but the way they lost makes it troubling. To have their butt handed to them at home in a such an important game could send the team into another Dec swoon. I said yesterday the Cowboys couldn't allow Philly to jump on them early or it would lead to a long day. The Cowboys have been having to battle from behind almost every week and it's concerning.

This is one of those games the Cowboys have to be focused and ready to play or they could find themselves down by a substantial margin and it could lead to a very long day. They can't come out like they did against the Giants and expect to rally back from 11 points down vs a Philly team that has a high powered offense. Getting down by 2 or more scores will force the Cowboys away from the run and put the game on Romo so a good start is a must. If Philly jumps out quick they'll try and pile it on so the Cowboys can't fool around they have to come out ready to put some points on the board.

 

[coogrfan]

Hope you are right. We need to bounce back to get over 500 and for a chance to at least make the playoffs and win 1. Forget the Division, that's a long shot, minus our doing a complete turnaround, and philly imploding.

Jeez, guys. Man up. A week from Sunday we could be tied w/Philly again.

 

[StarBoyz83]

They are a better team its not the end of football lol. We might have chance at a wild card but its not like we were sb bound. We were supposed to be terrible and we were better than 8-8. We will get better over the next few years and we might have chance if romos still playing these next couple years.

 

[mahoneybill]

Jeez, guys. Man up. A week from Sunday we could be tied w/Philly again.

Lets hope so. I'm just looking at tonight, and how we never seemed to be able to stop the bleeding, and get it close enough to be a W.

We played Philly tougher in both games last year than tonights effort.... Hopefully it was the travel, and expending energy to overcome GMen, and not a sign that we have hit " the wall"

 

[nalam]

Primetime embarrassment like this doesn't light fire , then nothing will do.

Let's see if this team has fight , in the second game, now take care of business in Chicago. Their def is weak and take advantage of it, but offense can give a run for money with our weak defense.

 

[lane]

we looked like the cowboys we are used to watching..

uninspired

romo throwing hands and playing even worse than week 1

if he is not right physically and mentally...he does not need to be out there.

stupid angles and missed tackles.

we've all seen this movie before

 

[bkeavs]

Can someone tell me how to get to the Garret/ Kelly better coach thread.
I have a lot of re-reading to do there

 

[Slim_JD]

Team looked totally unprepared. The short turn around did them in IMO, didn't get the proper amount of time to prepare for the Sanchez led eagles. Eagles also played inspired football. You could tell they wanted it more.

 

[CyberB0b]

Just got man handled in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

 

[cowboys69fan]

Wow! what is there to say, that hasn't already been said, very dissapointed!
the came into our house and owned us OUTRIGHT! I hope that the real Cowboys team shows up for our next meeting, are we going to go winless at Home???

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

<Was there any silver lining that can be taken from that whooping?>

The game only lasted 60 minutes.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

. Eagles also played inspired football. You could tell they wanted it more.

^ This.

 

[cowboyblue22]

if you think this Is a playoff team you were really wrong, they are still along way from competing with the better teams in the league there defenses is awful really awful.
