The Eagles just kicked the Cowboys butt thread

[LittleBoyBlue]

Bull crap! All the crybabies wants to quote Parcells and say "you are what your record says you are" when we are below .500. Then when we are 8-4 it doesnt apply for some reason.

I really wish we had Parcells with this team. Not because of his past greatness.
Just his common sense ball control and TOP management.

He would be the difference.
Garrett hurts this team.

I'm impressed with Chip Kelly's team, they imposed their will upon us by dominating the line of scrimmage on both side of the ball.

 

[Fredd]

on the bad side, they handled us in every way possible on the field and off...their pre-game comments appeared to also dominate Dallas
on the bright side, if we win the next two and seattle beats philly this week, we are alone in first with two to play

 

[Sarge]

The better team won. I've said it since last summer and the pre-season. The Eagles are the team to beat in this division. We do not have an answer in stopping their offense. Are the Eagles all that? No. They just have an offense that is no match for our defense and that is a problem.

Still a long way to go though and anything can happen. I am thinking the Eagles are BETTER with Sanchez than they were with Foles.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Tryone Crawford. Other than that, nothing.

And that is sad. I don't understand how all those other guys can be so weak and no challenge for the opponent. And how long is it going to take Lawrence to get going? He is young and virile. What's up with that?

 

[NumOneQB]

Eagles are just a better team in all phases. The Cows O has been compensating for the bad defensive play but can't do it every week. If the O doesn't come flying out of the gate, the game can get out of hand pretty quick. We've seen this 2 weeks in a row now....

I just hate that the Eagles more or less said, "we're going to Dallas and kick their butts, because they aren't all that."

Chirped all week.

And Dallas laid down and let them — without any fight.

I just can't understand that weak mentality.

That weak mentality comes from our red headed idiot. Weak coach = weak team.

Lol, I do agree with you here but you can't give a pass to the most glaring offender in this franchise. The man who is responsible for the personnel this team has on defense....

He's a rookie who missed most of the year. He's going through growing pains.

 

[Cebrin]

Defensive game plan was atrocious. That soft zone garbage wasn't working the first half. Why come out and repeat it? Offense just didn't execute well. Romo had some off throws, Beasleys fumble, OL confusion and the refs certainly weren't helping at any time. Had we sustained drives when we had the opportunity, we could have stayed in the game. Once you get down 23-7 at halftime, you become a throwing team. You don't want to be a throwing team with Romo not at 100%. I know everybody saw him lay down under pressure so he wouldn't take the hit. Hopefully we come out smarter next week and clean this up. I think we can beat Phili, they just played better and planned better.

 

[30yrheel]

Eagles actually look better with Sanchez.

 

[BigD5]

I don't understand why we didn't just stack the box and dare butt fumble to beat us. Play man outside. And blitz butt fumble to death

 

[Blackspider214]

We need more ty crawfords. Maybe they needed this beating. Maybe they will take this and respond to it. Sometimes a team gets beat and learns from it. Silver lining?

Really? So getting beat by Arizona and Washington back to back didn't teach us anything?

 

[Seven]

They did mug Bryant.

The thing is we did not do anything in response. If something is not working, you adjust.

We kept hugging the sidelines with practically every route. Very frustrating.

Yep.

 

[Seven]

The team got its but kicked.

For those of you watching at home I do have a question. Were the Eagle DB's mugging players as badly as it seemed? It seemed like Dez was getting very interfeered with by Fletcher on pretty much every ball in Dez's direction. I'm curious if I'm the only one that saw that, especially considering Ertz drew what seemed like a pretty weak holding call on Wilcox later in the game.

Mugged often. Wilcoxs' hold was as blatant as they come. He's a mess.

Eagles made good case for sports science/interval training last night in Dallas; clearly the better conditioned team on 3 days rest.

Discussed on more than one occasion on this board when examining Kelly's methodologies.
