Eh. We'll catch them next time.

I thought they were way more prepared and looked to be in better shape physically. All that hard work they did early on that they were complaining about looks like it paid off today. If our coaching staff is worth anything, we'll have a better shot next time.

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.

I don't see it. You don't roll into Seattle and best the seahawks soundly without being a playoff team. And really that's the only other game we've seen so far against a good team.

Same goes for the eagles really. We're the first good team they've beaten.

We need to take care of the Bears now, but the best part about this game is we get them again in two weeks.

The Eagles offense was like a hot knife through butter. Tonight was a punch in the face to show us how far we still have to go before we're a real playoff team.

A measuring stick that we failed to measure up to.

How could people not see this coming? Who's idea was it that we play a division opponent on a Sunday night? They were in a real dog fight Sunday and didn't get back to Dallas till 5 AM.

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.

How well has that strategy worked? I mean we plays these guys again in two weeks. Maybe it would be a good idea to actually be prepared this time?

I really have to wonder if the short week is just that much of a factor.

Or hope, anyway.

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.

All this short turnaround stuff....the Eagles had the same amount of time too and whooped them.

I thought we looked tired also. A step slow all night. I think we could not have faced a worse opponent than the eagles fast paced offense today. We get another shot at them. We will see if the results are any diff

I'm hoping that this is the reason. We had a tough win in NY while the Eagles have a cakewalk against the Jags...turn around in the shortest time in history to play one of the fastest paced offenses in history. Tired legs most likely. I believe romo wasn't ready either in large part because of that...his hody hadn't recovered yet.

Eagles have been the physically better team than us since Kelly arrived
McCoy had a piece about it last year and Jason peters this year saying they are in the best shape of their lives
Kelly completely changed their workout

Our HC is lucky if he can change his shirt without asking the owners permission

The thing that really scares me is this game looked so much like the final games from the last 3 years. When push came to shove and the division was on the line this team didn't show up just like those games. Not only didn't they show up, but they were kind of humiliated. At least it's not the final game, but I hope it's not a sign of the same old team rearing it's ugly head. Was really hoping we had moved past that and had grown. Only time will tell.
