The three factors i'm sure most of us are concerned about are EE TS SL. For other's i assume Garrett is a questionable factor.

For me today's game is in the hands of the fans who attend the stadium. Too many Cowboy fans that attend the home games watch the game as if they were at the movie theater watching the latest coolest film. Well today's game is no movie. If your going to the game you should do your duty, just as you demand the players and coaches do their job, you must do yours as well.

When you see everyone sitting down miserable, you should get on your feet and demonstrate hope and maybe even a little bit of insanity to try and fire some of them up. The dead belong in a cemetery, not in a NFL stadium on Sunday night football.

What say you?

I agree with you, and I think out of town Cowboy fans represent better in our road games than the home crowd. That said what concerns me is how this team starts the game on both sides. Give the home crowd a reason to stay engaged in the game, a quick 3 and out on offense or allowing the Egirls to march down the field for a TD on the first possession will take the air out of the building

1) coaching staff is pathetically poor at in-game management
2) I will assume that the eagles don't get a holding call against their OL (the NFL/refs just HAVE To keep the streak alive, correct?)
3) we have no one, I mean no one to stop the mad (pass) rush of players from Dak's blindside
4) the scheduling God's screwed Dallas in that they get a late sunday game and then turn around for a day game on thursday
5) I live in Eagles territory and it is UNBEARABLE when they beat Dallas


I personally will go into the game excited to see Dallas compete and somehow squeak out a win....will that happen? I didn't see the standard "guarantee" from @GORICO so that concerns me

Do coaches ever get hurt? Garrett inactive for today?

That big Redhead getting out of sacks, Ajai, and Blount punishing our defense, Ertz making Jones look silly, Cox abusing Martin......just to name a few.....

We need to have a good game plan with new wrinkles. The same old stuff isn't gonna cut it! We also need to come out with a swagger and hit them in the mouth early. I worry their college offense might be to much for a dinosaur like Rod to adjust too.

Hmm that was the cheesiest thing i've read today, hey it's still early so.
Since you wanna play silly, yes coaches do get hurt on the sidelines, it's rare but it does happen. Some people think Garrett is always inactive.
Anymore questions?

Garrett abandoning the run after the 2nd drive?

You are off on this.

The fans at the stadium have been good.

If the team scores points it will be really loud, if they struggle to score it will be more relaxed because fans here are driven by offense.

Your right. Hes like and injured player on the sidelines that cheers on the team. Like Dez when he was hurt. Clapping and patting fannies. LOL

Better question of which DON’T bother me. From injuries, to Zeke suspension to Jerry distraction. It’s all not good and not a formula for success

I was at the season opener many fans sit quietly throughout the whole game. Now if their elderly, disabled, or handicapped or what have you then i understand why, but if their limbs are working they need to stand up and make some noise. Otherwise they should save the money and stay home.

Home fans have been decent this year. Especially for the Chiefs game.

I'm concerned about this offense keeping pace. I'm concerned about Byron Jones tackling and Anthony Brown's penalties.

The eagles have a significant talent level advantage.

Plus this is a game they mark on their calendars and after last years overtime loss probably have been talking about this game all year.

On the flip side i can see the eagles losing a few games after winning today.

I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that were about to start a downward spiral that wont end well. Hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see a good outcome to this season. With Zeke's suspension and the injuries, I aint feeling good about this game and then the demoralizing that could instill itself in the team could snowball to a top ten draft pick this year. Just a gut feeling I have when I think about the Boys finish to this season. Call me crazy if you like, but thats what I'm feeling. I am seeing it all slip away and end in a quagmire. Hopefully I am wrong.

I worry most about MIKE. I don't see how we can win with what we get from Jaylon.

LT is a big hole too, and I wonder how they constructed a game plan to cover it up. Biggest concern there is it's not safe to assume we win matchups at RT or LG, either. The pressure will be from all over, so putting a TE out there on the left and having them add a LB on that side gets us nothing. We're going to have to win matchups at skill positions quickly and consistently. And need to win the takeaway battle by two or more to have a shot.

Today would be a great day for a big play from STs.

My only concern is Philly’s d-line. We gotta get the ball out quickly, use some misdirection, and try to hit the edges with our rushing attack...
