To put some pressure on us if we hope to win the division

[youngjerryjones]

Pathetic to be this scared of the Eagles lmao

coaching staff has dominated eagles and NS coaching staff for 2 years now...until I see different Cowboys by a mile

What happens if we win? Or does the possibility of us winning melt the flux capacitor inside the dilithium crystals?

I don't know about who we got or they got or will play or have to play all I know is we are beating the Eagles Sunday night. So whatever that does for our division chances.

To me the schedules are about the same.

We play Vikings, Packers, Giants, who we already beat. And of course the Eagles twice.
They play the Packers, and Giants twice, plus us twice.
Now Eagles also has the Saints, as you never know what team will show up for the Saints.

There are a few other teams we both play if you want to consider them even type games. Colts, Titians. Those teams can look good at times.

Too early. It's a marathon. What would happen to Philly if Hertz missed 4 or 5 games?

Then they rent from Avis during that span.

If we don't beat the Eagles this weekend, it's very likely they don't lose a game until they have to face the Packers the last weekend of November. A loss puts us two games behind them in the standings and having to face the Packers and Vikings before the end of November.

A loss this weekend and we could be 3 games out of first by the end of November.

Philly may not lose to the Packers it’s not like Green Bay is rolling with a head of steam. They just lost to the Giants. This is a big game for the Cowboys on Sunday night because if Philly ends up being a 13+ win team we’ll be playing for a wildcard spot. They could very well win 13+ games if they beat us on Sunday night. They’ll be rolling with a head of steam.

Exactly, I've never been a guy that says a team is good or not based on who they have played. Just beat the team you play on Sunday. Then move to the next game on the schedule. Football is a sports that any team can legitimately win on any given weekend.

The EGirls are a problem.
I don't like them any less than others on the board,
but you have to face reality.
We are going to have to beat a good team if we want the NFC East this year.
It's not that hard to understand.
No cake walk this year.

NFL is a box of chocolate.
You never know what you're gonna get.

It’s a long season for sure. It takes many shapes. Everyone’s depth will get tested.

It has been this way for what seems like 10 years. Eagles the toughest opponent within the division. The only time Washington was the toughest was by default, when Dak was injured and when Romo was injured.
So really just another typical season. Around 3 years or 4 ago, remember when the Eagles were ahead of us by a 1 game. About this same point in the season.
They were to beat us and we went to Philly and smacked them around. And took over 1st place.

Not saying it will happen this time, but seems it happens often.

honesty not worried about it….we needed to go 1-1 between them and the rams and we already won…the way I see it they are playing with house money at this point and still have a great path to the playoffs. I fully expect them to split with Philly and that likely starts with a L on Sunday.

…
Gonna be a fun ride

True, Less pressure on Boys as they are not expected to win and more pressure on Eagles as they are in home.
