The State of the NFC East a Quarter of the Season in

[ActualCowboysFan]

You sure have a big % of your posts that are Eagles related for a guy on a Cowboy board. But, I'm sure you're a Cowboy fan though .
Hurts stinks as a pure passer. He is elite as a runner and he runs your offense well and plays behind what is by far the best OL in the NFL since he started. Every QB is 10 times better behind a great OL and Hurts is no different. He is and will remain a good QB, but not because of his passing ability. Let's see what he is once Kelce and Johnson are gone.

Joined in January for the coronation that never came too.

Let's just say, I'm not impressed from what I've seen of them so far.

BWAAAA!!!! 4-0 coming off a SB run pulling out a few close games even when they dont play as well.

And you are impressed with the Cowboys?

Roy: How are they shaky?
Roy: Pulling out a few close games
Roy: Not impressed with the Cowboys blowouts but impressed with close wins against bad teams.
Roy: Arguing with himself and losing

They look almost identical to last year.

Last year: Struggled at Detroit week 1
This year: Struggled at Patriots week 1

Last year: Beat Minnesota week 2
This year: Beat Minnesota week 2

Last year: Beat up Commanders week 3
This year: Beat up Tampa week 3

Last year: Struggled against Jacksonville week 4
This year: Struggled against Washington week 4

Last year: Averaged 165 yards rushing through 4 weeks
This year: Average 165 yards rushing through 4 weeks

lost 2 key co-ordinators this year, let alone key bodies on D. This team is not the same as last year, not just compairng sturggles alone. Great teams persevere, pehraps they are

As opposed to losing close games against bad teams? LOL

Eagles are 4-0, enough said. There are no style points in the NFL. Pulling out close games is what great teams do. Beating bad teams is what great teams do.

Losing to bad teams is what the Cowboys do too often.

Shaky is not 4-0.

Only a Cowboys fan would try to say something like a 4-0 Eagles team is "shaky" because they dont look in midseason form by week 4.

Lot of speculation popping up that Hurts never had 100% recovery from his injury.

personally haven't heard any word of that. He lost his OC, and as far as I can tell he is doing just fine in Indy with their QB

Yes, I'm aware what they are 4-0 coming off a SB run. What I'm not impressed by is this:

They eeked one out against the Pats
They got very lucky against the Vikings that the Vikings can't hold onto the ball.
The Bucs played well, but that was the most convincing win the Eagles have had this season.
They barely squeaked one out against Washington (I understand that division rival games are different, but still, meh)

Yes, we embarrassed ourselves against Arizona, but I think if we played them this week and SFO that week, the outcome is very different, but be that as it may. We wrecked the Giants season in one game. They haven't recovered from it. We took on a Jets team who has a fierce defence, and we took them to the woodshed. Then, we took on the Pats who the Eagles squeaked by against, and we destroyed them. So, while Philly is 4-0, which is impressive in the NFL, I think, when the Cowboys don't get ahead of themselves, the Cowboys are the more formidable team. In other words, if the Cowboys were to play Philly on Sunday, I think the Cowboys win.

So, let's look at the state of the NFC East about a quarter into the season. The Giants are an abysmal trainwreck who might be the worst team in the league. The Commanders just lost to the Bears and are at 2-3. We are 3-1 going into a tough battle with the 49ers, and the Eagles haven't lost yet. That said, the Eagles have looked rather shaky of late. As of now, I think the Cowboys and Eagles are the class of the division, as usual. I'm looking forward to our games against Philly. I think we are very much capable of winning the division. I think we can take Philly and keep the division trend of not repeating alive. I think our defence can take their offense, as long as we keep Hurts contained in the pocket and not let them into Brotherly Shove territory. I think their defence has holes that our offense should exploit. Their secondary has looked very shaky, and Hurts has been throwing a lot of interceptions of late. If the Cowboys play disciplined against them, I think this division is ours for the taking.

..lol.. easy, Rusty. Lots of football left. Still have so many Unknowns to account for. Injuries being first, player development, coaching tactics..etc.

Wait around till Turkey Day, that should give better indication, where the puck is going.

They blew out the Pats all game. Pats just made it interesting at the end.

Again, biased Cowboys homer vision.

There is two undefeated teams left. Niners and Eagles.

But your not impressed. LOL

As far as us beating them, possibly. Same with Niners. Has nothing to do with them being "shaky".

Of course you think we would win.

Dude is a joke here for a reason and it seems like commenting on games he didn’t watch is probably a factor.

Just a little two homerish.

Oh I was talking about you and your completely inaccurate assessment of the Pats game vs the Eagles.

BWAAAAAAAA!!!!!

25-14 bub late into the 4th quarter. Pats got a late score to make it interesting, which it really wasnt.

4-0 Eagles looking shaky!!!! LOL

Member when you said they won close games against bad teams? That’s shaky. If you’re buying a dictionary I’d suggest adding football for dummies to the cart

 

[Blackspider214]

It is exactly what we knew well before the season would start. A 2 team race. Washington and NY are not good teams. Neither have a good QB. Washington's defense is extremely overhyped. Teams have no issues moving the ball and scoring points on them. We absolutely need to sweep them as we usually we do.

At this point, we almost need to sweep the Eagles. That Arizona loss puts us behind the 8ball and behind the pace of the Eagles, especially with SF on the road coming up. Could be chasing the Eagles from a few games behind extremely early.

Another "shaky" win for the Eagles to go undefeated!!

My God, the Cowboys you couldnt even consider "shaky" at 3-1.

Good read is it? How many times have you read it?

Normal humans see 38-3 vs 25-20. Roy has his own unique lens and just can’t figure out why no one likes him

Nothing new to see here. We all knew this in TC

Not really, let's not forget the Zeke fumble early that spotted the Eagles points early. Either way, I think we can beat them, and I don't see why it's a bad thing to think we can beat Philly.

The Cowboys look like they will surge to the top.
