Who saw this coming? In my opinion, Eagles just looked defeated from the get go, perhaps the 49er loss was a carryover.
Offense
-Didn't feel Dak had one of his best games, but he had some terrific moments: pass to Cooks before the half and the Ferguson throw against the zero blitz come to mind. Did have some accuracy issues throughout the night, but still played high level football.
-Thought the run game looked the best as it did all year, they made the Eagles pay playing two safeties back. Looked like they split the carries.
-Excellent replay challenge by MM at the goal line that avoided a 4th down play.
-Steele had a nice bounce back game, not perfect, but far better. OL was terrific against an excellent front.
-Cowboy Offense still had major penalty issues, that will cost them win's if they continue.
-Welcome back Michael Gallup! TD, long reception, drew a PI, was his best game in over a month.
-Red Zone offense was much better then in the first matchup.

“ HERE WE GOOOOO !!! ... “
I expected much more of a defensive challenge vs Hurts & Eagles - i expected much more RB Swift than usual, Dallas Goedert vs our LBs & safeties, and thought the game would be decided in the final 6-5 minutes of the 4th quarter.
- I did expect we would present much more of a fight -challenge this time vs Eagles, than last time on the road, on their turf. Why ?
- Dak and Mac’s Tex Coast offense is much more different and improved now, we push the ball much more vertically than what we did last Philly game, ... we are moving Lamb around more, involving speedy Cooks much more, and guys like Ferguson are really coming into their own-
- And then when you add more RBs in pass game, and can get production outta Gallup like we did, we present a much more stronger, more difficult challenge to not only Eagles, .but every team we’ll face.
- This ref crew so much slowed the game down with their persistent flags, seems like it was an automatic yellow every three plays, no matter the team ! ... let them play !!
- Some penalties on OL with Tyler, Biadsz, Steele and Martin, who lost his block on Fletcher for a Dak fumble for a Philly return TD ( their only TD of the entire night) Steele played adequate enuff to allow us to operate without chip help all night long, but he allowed a sack and there was a scary low knee hit on Dak.. (Yikes!)
But per OL, we were able to run the ball effectively, and Dak had looks to punish Philly secondary all night long.
- Dak hit several passes to several targets, spread the ball around, the strip fumble for a Philly TD was the one blemish, but Philly could not rattle him, and he actually rattled their suspect secondary.
- i'm still hungry for those patented 40-50+ Pollard explosive runs , but at least we seem to involved the RBs in the pass game. Rico returned from an injury, ..and yes great replay call on Rico's TD.
