Why Can't We Be the Eagles?

Coaching is everything. Vince Lombardi

Eagles DC is killer. I highly respect the Coaching on this team.
Pederson saw some ugly things and, on the spot, adjusted, and got them moving, enough to pull it out.
On NFL Network, Pederson said that last year, he and the players TOGETHER discussed what works and what doesn't. So, now, in real time, they adjust, and they all KNOW exactly what to do in game situations all on the same page. I greatly admire Pederson. He reminds me of Don Draper in Mad Men. Thinks and acts on his feet quickly. And he is RELENTLESS and AGGRESSIVE.

You nailed it man! Football is an always fluctuating game and you must be able to adjust during the game. You can't take a week to go back and look at film!!!!

Peters: a first, fourth and sixth
Wisniewski: UFA
Kelce : 6th Round
Brooks: UFA 5 years $40M
Lane Johnson : 4th overall pick

How is that a minimal investment?

Relative to ours:

9th overall - 97M contract
50th overall
31st overall - 56M contract
16th overall - 84M contract
UDFA - 15M 2 year extension.
 
"Why can't we be the Eagles?"

Let me think..............................................................Because we don't have fans that suck.

(Other than some moron who asks "Why can't we be the Eagles?" on a Cowboys Forum.)

Quite right , Look at Pedersen copying the patriots play and executing it .
Tricks if practised and executed timingly can help kickstart momentum , our coach lives in 90s and expect my person is better than your person execution,in this salary cap era , when the talent is so close ( in fact Eagles D is better than ours ,hopefully this year will be close ) you have to outthink the opposition, doesnt help our play book is known to all opponents.

Watching the Eagles again last night, I came to the realization that this is a team with a great defense and a sub-par offense. Why can't we be the same?

Their best offensive player, outside of the oline, is Zach Ertz. He and Beasley have about the same level of production imo.

Their next best player is probably the RB combo of Sproles and Ajayi. Even combined they don't hold a candle to Zeke.

Agolohor is decent but nothing that we don't get from a Hurns or a Gallup or a Twill.

The rest of their receivers are trash.

Foles isn't nearly as good as Dak.

Yet they have a stud offensive line, just like us, that makes scoring points possible.

Now, their D so far is much superior to ours. However, I'm liking our chances to narrow the gap and to be a top 7 defense. If we can do that, then we have the same blueprint that won the SB last year. Except we have more dynamic offensive players. They got no one in the same league as Zeke.

We are the last team to beat the Eagles.
 
I don't want to be like the Eagles at this moment. Maybe last year? I suspect they will have a downturn this year, and finished with 8 or 9 wins. I have higher hopes than that. I like their general manager, Roseman, but lukewarm on the coaches especially the head coach. He is aggressive that's 1 thing we don't have. I really do question his judgment when things don't work out. I could be wrong that type of coach could be the future and the Garrett or Parcells might be the ghost's of the past. Time will tell.
 
We don't have fans that applaud players lying paralyzed on the turf.

We don't throw rocks, bottles and batteries

Mostly, because we're in Dallas and not Philthy.

We have 5 rings. They have one.

Chill my man.
 
Well, because the cowboys is the most expensive franchise in the world.
We got 5 superbowl rings.
We got hall of famers up the wazoo.
Cowboys fan culture is clean, sane and reliable.
Our stadium is a museum.
We dont spit on our on food before we eat it.

Let me help you!!!!!!!!!!

W/ the 6th pick in the draft, the Cowboys select MO. W/ the 12th pick in the draft, the Eagles select Fletcher Cox.

Poor philosophy. Controlling the LOS controls what the opposing team can do on O.

And that will about do it for this thread.

I will also add their front office is proactive in filling their needs. They don't have the motto of "we like our guys" when its obvious their guys are not good enough. Like our safeties. I can not wrap my head around how this front office and coaches think that is good enough to win.

Why we aren't taking advantage of Zeke and Dak on their rookie deals is beyond me.

My best guess is that it goes to a poor philosophy/lack of a blueprint.
 
I can not believe that a Cowboys fan would ever admire the Eagles and want to be like them. This is one of the most pathetic threads that I have ever seen on any Cowboys message board.
