It’s embarrassing that two line judges are blind and can’t get the proper spot, but it’s even more embarrassing how little awareness McCarthy and the coaching staff showed here.

McCarthy literally never challenges anything. Instead, he’d rather rush to the line and give the Eagles the ball back in scoring position.

If not for this play, I think the Cowboys win the game.

I think Fowlers penalty was bigger then this. 4th and 4. We literally handed them 4 points. 16 seconds winding down and the Eagles offense ran back on the field because their coach waved them all back just because he figured why not do a hard count and let the quarter end...then we jumped. Biggest play of game.

shoulda challenged that one.
can't believe somebody upstairs wasn't telling mike to challenge.
i'm not gonna say it cost us the game...the eagles run game had a hand in that.
but i can't believe that wasn't challenged.

The spot was bad and McCarthy should've challenged it, but no one forced Dallas to try a play action pass on 4th down in their own territory.

The game was lost for several reasons. This was just one of them.

it’s weird. despite being the juggernaut bully, they were playing desperate as hell. siriani would give his wife up to beat us

I like our team in the end. We have everything needed. Eagles are relying on smoke and mirrors. Some team...and it might even be us in December, will show the rest of the league how to stop their offense. Take away that read option and the Eagles offense is not good.

I'd love if the Cowboys could find a run dominating NT before the deadline.

Don't think it cost the game but it still was not a good look for the coaching staff.

We are going to need solid qb play to be a serious contender.

Fowler's penalty was such a dumb play. No game awareness whatsoever.

That was a terrible penalty from a veteran player.

I think Micah has to move back the LB to beat them. They isolate him on the edge. Keep him in the middle of the field. That’s how we opened up the second half and it worked quite well.
