We have to Beat Philly

[Hawkeye19]

It doesn’t matter if we win the division— we have to beat Philly on 12/24. The W gives us a huge and vital momentum and confidence boost, and plants the seeds of fear, doubt, and uncertainty in the Eagles.

Sets up a massive showdown in Jan— but if we get swept in the regular season— I think out mental game will be off and while it is difficult to beat a team 3 times in a season, and we would be desperate— I think a beatdown on 12/24 is the message we need to send, the statement we need to make, and the lunch money we need to take if we are going to even entertain making a playoff run

Lets be thankful Garrett isnt here to make a tshirt.

Cowboys will overlook Jags

 

[stuckindc]

Think NY Giants from 07. Eagles are primed for a playoff defeat

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

The statement we need to make.

The lunch money we need to take.

The backbone we need to break.

The claim we need to stake.

(Our rhymes are better than Drake's.)

I disagree that a win against the Eagles is a must. If it's a close game and we play well, then the message will have been sent that we are contenders in the playoffs. I think we beat them in a third matchup no matter where it is played. A win just keeps us alive to win the division. A loss doesn't really affect our aspirations for the 5th seed.

My God you are insufferable. This team could be undefeated and you would be saying anything negative you could. Its amazing.

I think Cowboys aspiration are still higher than 5th seed.

It's not up to them. Even if they win out they need help.

Yeah at this point. Why wouldnt we want the 5th seed. Carolina Atlanta NO or Brady? And its not looking like Brady is even going to finish the season if Tampa keeps going in this direction.

 

[tyke1doe]

Don't we have the Jags next?

 

[Doomsday77]

The only reason Xmas eve game would matter is if we can take the #1 seed and that would mean Philly would have lost one between now and then. If Philthadelphia has it locked up then they won't give a hoot and will play back ups.

 

[Doomsday101]

True but what they can do is take care of business and put Philly in a situation where they must win out. Few weeks back Miami looked like one of the top teams in the NFL now they coming off back to back loses. Things change quickly in the NFL

 

[JBS]

Nothing in this original post has any legs. It’s all nonsense

 

[charron]

But they don't have to.

I'd like them too but win or lose the cowboys will still be a wildcard team if they take care of the lesser opponents.

Which one of ya'll are Skip?

...so true, Hawk. I feel the same. The psychological output of that game will determine many things for Dallas.

I don't think Cowboys are, fans maybe so but we do not play the games.

I sure hope you're wrong.

No. For many reasons, a win is a must against Philthy.
