This Eagles win was a blessing in disguise

only the weak think like this. think like a lion and not prey

So you want the Cowboys to play a desperate 3-3 eagles team instead of a 4-2 eagles team who is feeling better about themselves over a flukey win?

Of course, regardless of next week's game result the Cowboys would still be up by 1 game. Now the Eagles can tie for first place, is that motivating to a team? The logic that you hope for a division rival to win in a tight race because you think they wont play as hard the next week seems like a weak psychological strategy. The Cowboys control their own destiny and should be prepared the same.
Do you think anyone in the Cowboys locker room thinks great the Eagles won this week theyre not going to play as hard?

But in all honesty if we were to lose It's not going to be a big deal because we would both be tied at 5-2 but I want the win. I even took off the monday after the game because I will be in no mood to talk about the game with eagles fans

even with both teams being 5-2. If we are going to lose let it be the browns

I would hope not since they get paid. This type of thinking is for the fans

You can look at an Eagles win or loss any way you want and try to rationalize some advantage but I formed an opinion of them weeks ago when they gashed Pittsburg. They've got a very good defense and our o-line better bring it's A game.

He has come back down to earth. He didn;t even look that good at home today and has looked worst on the road

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

We're going to get Wentzed.

Maybe Wentz will get Daked. lol

 

[Rob-G]

I get you're trying to find a positive out of this, but could care less about how they're feeling and they're feeling pretty confident right.


If we're the better team, we should win and it won't matter how they're feeling.


I don't know if our D can hold them to 15 points like the Vikings D did, but I know there's no chance in hell they do to our O-line what they did to Minnesota's shaky O-line.

Seriously, you already requested the day off to not have to talk to the philth fans? Having the philth tied with the Cowboys won't be so bad? Iggles winning today is a blessing in disguise? What is wrong with this picture?

Since when is Pittsburgh the measuring stick for how good a team is? Have you forgot the eagles defense didn;t play that well on the road the past 3 games? Gave up 58 pts on the road the last 3 games and that was against teams who don't have the offense we have

Took the day off to celebrate a cowboys win or to avoid being at work after the eagles lost to detroit, was but beat us and we have the better offense.

Because regardless of what Garretts record is, and assuming Cowboys and Eagles are on equal footing, will still enter the game with the same added chance to win. This is called a memoryless statistic. You'd be factoring in years that the team was clearly worse than it is now and it ultimately has no bearing on future years.

Why should I disregard garretts record in this situation but factor in the rest of the league, which has no bearing on the Cowboys?

The Eagles defense held Pittsburg to less than 30 yards rushing and sacked Rothlisberger 4 times, limiting him to less than 240 yards passing on a ton of attempts. And giving up 58 points in 3 games on the road isn't half bad either. Feel free to look at where the Eagles defense stands statiscally, it's actually pretty good.
Never underestimate your enemy. But hey, that's just me.

Vikings win......Eagles come in as a 3-3 team the cowboys don;t take as seriously and probably lose

Eagles win.....Eagles come in as a 4-2 team who just beat a 5-0 vikings team which means the Cowboys will take the eagles a lot more seriously like Green Bay

If the Eagles would have lost today, we would still be ahead of them regardless what happens next week.

That is at HOME. I am talking about on the road

Yeah true but even though we would be 5-2 and they would be 4-3, I still hate losing to them. I rather lose to the browns

 

[Playmaker247]

Eagles d is vastly overrated IMO.

 

[Playmaker247]

Eagles secondary and linebackers are pretty bad

Yes, the Pittsburg game was at home. Your point was that the Eagles gave up 58 points on the road and that's true. But that's not half bad either. Again, look at their defensive stats, they're better than our 'Boys stats, for what it's worth. I'm just saying don't take the Eagles lightly. They DO have a good defense and are being coached much better than they were with that shmuck Kelly. And their special teams are playing lights out. It's going to be a bloody battle and I'm hoping we keep playing the way we have been.
