The Vikings Game was a Good Warmup for the Eagles

So, some have been talking about how great the Eagles are and how we'd be lucky to beat them in December. But the Vikings game showed we can beat these overachieving teams like the Vikings and Eagles. So I'm hoping this game gives our players the confidence they need to execute against the Eagles.

In my view, with Prescott, the Cowboys are a better team than the team we fielded with Cooper Rush. I predict we beat the Eagles in the 2nd game, although I could obviously be wrong.

I know they're probably a tad bit better than the Vikings, but they're not on the same level as the Cowboys as far as potential, if you ask me.

I’ve been predicting we will beat them for a while. Their 3rd road game in a row, on a short week, Christmas Eve. Seems like the intangibles are in our favour.

now when we play them in Philly for the divisional round that will be a whole other thing.

I think you may have your homer glasses on a bit too tight.

Dak owns the NFCE since the zero hour. Dak is only getting better as the season progresses. While Hurts isn't.

The difference is Hurts runs better than he throws and Cousins throws better than he runs. Dallas has problems with QB who run.... so containing Hurts is the key. Pressure him and he looks like Cousins did, discombobulated.

Problem is Philly D looks to be more talented at every level than the Vikes, if the Boys can dominate them anywhere close to this on Christmas Eve, then I'm buying the hype.

Philly's Oline and Dline are tons better than the Vikings. The Philly secondary is also tons better. And of course containing Hurts is going to be a problem

Dallas played a perfect game. If they can replicate that again Dallas can beat ANY and ALL NFL team.

That's all it is, a warmup. The Eagles are considerably better than the Vikings.

I like most all your posts, P2R, but can't agree with you here.

On offense Eagles are all about RPO, which isn't the Vikings at all. And the Eagles defense is 20x better than the porous Vikings group.
