The Eagles losing in the Super Bowl does not prove that they have a poor process in place

[Blackspider214]

But for a garbage ticky tack holding penalty at the end of the game, likes of which hadn't been called in the whole playoffs, Eagles would perhaps be champions today. Their process did not fail them; the NFL's officiating did. The Eagles FO game is strong.

Yeah, let's not mention the defense letting KC score on every single 2nd half possession. And would have scored another TD on the last drive with ease if they needed to. Vaunted front 7 got 0 sacks and really didn't disrupt Mahomes at all. It's the refs fault!!

Also was a clear hold. Not once but twice. DB admitted he held but thought it would slide at that moment of the game. It didn't and shouldn't have.

I bet Philly looks closer to what they are now than some of you think. Underestimate Roseman at your own risk.

They also have 3 picks in the first 64 picks this year. They could again trade one of those first rounders for a veteran guy like they did with AJ Brown.

I get the feeling some here are banking on Philly regressing a lot in order to make us competitive for the division. Don't bank on that. Jerry and doorknob of a son need to be cautiously aggressive this offseason to make us better. I fear Jerry thinks like some fans and believes the Eagles are gonna regress enough to give us the leg up. It's a dumb strategy.

I didn't underestimate anything.
I didn't say I was banking on anything.
I didn't say anything about regressing a lot.
I didn't try to compare them to Dallas.
I didn't suggest we would have a leg up.

All I said was "I bet Philly looks very different next year with all the FA players up."
Look at their list of FA, that is all.

Of course it doesn’t. Eagles are a sound franchise.

They'll just replace them with other FAs

I may hate the Eagles but I wish we had their ownership and GM. They’ll be just fine in the years to come. May not be back to the SB next year but I bet they will return before we sniff it.

No ****.

The Eagles have played in 2 of the last 6 Super Bowls. The average NFL team takes 32 years to play in two Super Bowls.

Consider that, although their two Super bowl appearances were very close, only three players, Fox, Johnson, and Kelce, started in both SB's. That represents an 86.4% change in their starting roster.

They rebuilt the team in five years and returned to the Super Bowl. I haven't seen another example of that large of a change in a SB roster that close together in years.

Two different coaching staffs under the same GM went to the Super Bowl within five years of each other.

I understand our own frustrations as Cowboys fans and I can recognize sour grapes but, as much as it boils my blood, I have to give props to the Eagles GM........and then take a long shower.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Nothing surprising to anyone with a brain.

Jerry is first about money. Always has been always will be.

And the birds do have the system set up for continual success to the point of winning or at the least contending for Lombardi's and the Cowboys clearly do not.

Lurie cares about money too,

 

[Rayman70]

I agree. They just lost to a better team is all. It happens. Hurts DID cost them.

and only 1 in the previous what 40. Yeah they are in a good stretch, but they were bad for years and never went to SBs. Packers went 30 years between SBs, Steelers have 2 in the last 43 years, it happens. Do I like it, no but there is nothing I can do about it

One of the view sane posts these days. All that loser talk over here is quite hilarious. These Cowboys including their QB are a joke, nothing more. Regular season pretenders who fold in the play offs like lawn chairs. In the meantime other teams risk it all, go to the SB, lose it all and get to the SB again by risking it all again... and people here can't even recognize that because of their love for this dimwit QB and Clownshow of an FO. Yay for us, lol.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

You can say what you want about Philly but they had a great season and made it to the SB and almost won. We should have half the processes they do. Did I want them to win....no, of course not but nobody can deny that the birds did well and made it to the big dance. I honestly thought they would win after Mahomes went hobbling off the field but I was wrong.

Next year is a whole new ballgame.

 

[Rayman70]

the loss couldn't have happened to a better Team/city.

The Eagles losing yesterday in the Super Bowl does not prove that they have a poor process in place (yes we are all happy they did not win-duh). Getting to the conference championship game or SB proves that the franchise built a legitimate contender.

The Eagles have built seven contenders in the past 27 years vs the Cowboys’ zero in that time span. Philadelphia obviously is on a more correct path than the Cowboys. Making the playoffs is not as high of a standard anymore, because about half the teams now make it.

The Giants are also way ahead during this time span. You can enjoy the regular season wins and consistently making the playoffs, but without more postseason success, it’s just bark without bite. Satisfaction with the Cowboy’s past 27 years process should only be had by the Jones family and anyone directly/indirectly getting cashflow from interest in the franchise.

No need to look foolish or shill on a message board for an ownership group that has admitted they are not as interested in building a championship roster as they are in making a buck. Actual fans only care about consistently (once every 5-7 years) building teams that can prove they are actual contenders (and hopefully champions) instead of building profitable pretenders.

This is a new a refreshing topic.

Eagles lost....now they will struggle to keep this team together. They will still be good but not this good.

Exactly. They literally turned over their team and got rid of wentz and havea 'completely different team' that they went to the superbowl with.

That's what great front offices do. They know how to manage players and get around the salary cap to put together teams that actually have a shot at winning superbowls.

Eagles will shed players and rearrange the chairs so that they will be competitive again very soon. Eagles went from being our punching bags to being in the Superbowl. You either have to have a generational talent at QB or an excellent FO that is willing to go all in if you want a superbowl.

 

[john van brocklin]

Jerry is right.

Deal with it.

The 30 year plan continues.

If its a 30 year plan that means a SB victory in the next 2 years, right ????

It also isn't obvious that the Eagles are doing it right and the Cowboys are not. I would wait another year and see who wins next year.

Yeah it’s obvious. The Eagles have made it to two different Super Bowls with vastly different rosters in the span of 5 years winning one. Yes, it is definitive proof that Philadelphia’s front office is doing it more right than the Cowboys’. The Cowboys are trying to make it to the final four once in the past 27 years-the Eagles have done it 7 times already.

No need to wait-the evidence speaks for itself. You can be a Cowboys fan and admit the obvious.

 

[Blitzen]

Or you're a decent team that got an easy schedule, some luck with opponent injuries / timing.

I expect regression.

We as Cowboy’s fans hope for regression. They built a great offensive line and solid defensive line and came close to winning the SB. Fortune favors the risk takers.

People act like the Egirls got blown out, The reality is Reid knew exactly what he was doing by sitting on the ball for the last 2 minutes. At a minimum had KC scored at the 2 minute mark there is a very good chance Egirls tie it up. It wasnt like KC defense was lighting it up either.
