This Eagles win was a blessing in disguise

[CowboysFanSince88]

Oh. I get it. You believe that seasons and even sometimes games unfold just like other games in history.

No I believe a team is more aggressive when they haven't won in a month and no one in the media is giving them a chance to win.

 

[DTown214]

Completely agree. It's one of those things that seems illogical but I understand what you're saying.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Of course it did. The Eagles knocked off the lone unbeaten team.

But, then again, they might be flying high and be ripe for us to knock off. Or something.

Well isn't that what we want??? A eagles team who is feeling good about themselves after a fluke win?

There you go again. The media matters? How?

 

[Sportsbabe]

At the end of the day, all that matters are Ws. The fact that the "media perception" of either is irrelevant.

I don't think the Eagles did anything today that was different than what they have done previously. They won matchups, got some turnovers.

All that matters is how they match-up against our team.

Unless they are run by less than critical dunces.

Because of playing a reeling team on the road coming off our bye, we're playing a determined team who needs to defy the odds one more time to establish itself as a legit NFC contender.

Don't you think that makes the cowboys look at the eagles as more of a threat? If the eagles had lost the cowboys would not have approached this game the way they did the greenbay game.

Over think much. Lol

Just line em up!

 

[Sportsbabe]

I feel the exact opposite. That game next week just got more difficult.

As the great Bill Parcells said ...you are who you are. Kick it off.

Hate to say it, but you are right.

Takes the emotion and especially media right out of the argument.

Then that means discussing matchups and personnel. And that is something the casual fan is not equipped to deal with.

You don't think the players pay attention to what the media thinks about other teams? Even if they don't watch someone they know will tell them.

I can't wait to see how you feel when we get to the Cleveland game.

If they pay more attention to the media that tells me they are sleeping through coaching sessions.

That darn evil media, I swear. They not only cause locker room disharmony, they can even influence game outcomes.

Well that game will be dangerous too if they are still winless

it's a blessing because the Vikings loss means they have the same number of losses as the Cowboys and the Cowboys are that much closer to a first seed in the NFC

 

[Macnalty]

If we play normal Dak Ball which can be categorized as no turnovers we will be a tough team to beat. We are rested and have a deep respect for our NFC east members, the cowboys are lethal on multiple fronts this year. Eagles will have to decide early and pick their poison as we will calmly place our offensive foot on their neck. No doubt Jim Schwartz the defensive coordinator will not sleep well this week.

Way, way too early in the year to start thinking about a first seed.

I was ok with Eagles winning today because it puts us in a tie for the best record in the NFL. Also I hate playing desperate teams in the division. Playing divisional games can be quirky but playing a desperate divisional game just adds to it. Also they didn't really win this game as much as the Vikings were a no show. Vikings had like 5 turnovers in the game. Eagles ran a kick back for a TD. Someone else said it earlier in the thread but it's not like Wentz went in and killed it and that offense put it to the threat of the Vikings.

I predict we win anyway regardless what they did this weekend but I really hate playing desperate teams that have the game against us to save their season and I hate playing against winless teams. Next week I hope Cleveland wins. I'd rather face a 1 win Cleveland team than a winless Cleveland team
