Gameday
Posted: October 12th, 2014 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 364 Comments »Dallas trails Seattle 10-0. Let’s hope they trail by a lot more by the time that game is over. And Tony Romo has already taken one huge hit.
The Packers struggled to win at Miami.
The Panthers are in OT in Cincy. Their “juggernaut” defense has given up 24 or more points in 4 straight games and 37 or more in 3 of those 4 games. Yikes.
The NFC is not playing great football right now.
The Skins are playing the Cardinals. It actually might be in the Eagles best interest to cheer for the Skins since they look bad and the Cards are a playoff contender, but I can’t do it. Go Cards.
_
Cowboys are good. Sorry.
They always are in September and October.
Dallas’s first 5-games and 8-games record since 2010:
2010: 1-4 / 1-7
2011: 2-3 / 4-4
2012: 2-3 / 3-5
2013: 2-3 / 4-4
Don’t spoil my hopes for another late season Dallas meltdown AC!
A87:
I was surprised by the numbers.
Just goes to show how consistently mediocre Dallas has been since Parcells left and “his” guys drifted away.
Also . . . those “meltdowns” may have been a function of how mediocre the NFC East has been for awhile.
thank you, bc of the cowboys/giants bandwagon/ny market bullshit this division is overrated every fucking year. it hasn’t been since the early/mid 90’s when this division was truly great, as in competing for SBs each year great
’80s and ’90s.
yep, just ask the buffalo bills. im glad i was too young to remember/watch those SBs. can’t imagine watching the giants/skins/girls winning SBs year after year after year.
Thank you.
Or maybe the Seahawks aren’t as good as we thought.
Nobody wins anything meaningful in October. Sorry.
I unfriend you.
djax another 64yd TD on patrick peterson. *sigh*
Demaryius Thomas putting up numbers similar to Maclin (without the Jaguar bomb) in 2 games *sigh*
Peyton Manning in Kelly Green . . . 40 TDs and everyone’s putting up huge numbers.
It’s not the system Manning’s in or the team he’s on. Or the receivers he has.
It’s him.
Thomas is arguably the 3rd best WR in the league though.
I love the guy.
Dominant.
Best move Josh McDaniels made at Denver.
Hard to get numbers without a QB. Look at Larry Fitzgerald.
Revisit Josh Gordon’s numbers last year . . . .
Turns out Hoyer can play some.
(At least some of Gordon’s numbers.)
Tons of great WRs in the league right now. I wonder how many HoFers there will be when they’re all done.
Flag football phenomenon?
Yup. It’s also the mark of a revolution in the NFL. It’s probably something in the water that makes these guys freaks.
I wonder what sport or position those guys would’ve played 25 years ago?
DE?
Baseball?
For sure, the govt’s secret additives in the water have definitely helped the NFL sell tix . . . .
true he produced under everyone. will be interesting if cleveland is still in it when he comes back. with him they have a pretty complete team.
Browns gm better be calling hoyer’s agent before it gets too late.
Great point.
He’s a Banner/Lombardi guy, too.
I think Fitz has regressed but I don’t really watch the Cardinals play.
He has his 100 and TD already. Maybe he’ll give the Cardinals some slack.
time to shut it down since he’s got enough for an IG post.
Frigging depressing isn’t it. If I had heard even one thing that made his cut appear to make sense or our offense didn’t seem to desperately miss him, I would’ve let it go long ago. But I haven’t, and I can’t.
GET. OVER. IT.
Somewhere, Donovan is preparing his notes on 2nd overtime.
To be fair Tommy, Cincy has an even better D than the Panthers had last year, and the Panthers went into Cincy and made some noise, I’m pretty impressed with them as my expectations were for the clocks to hit midnight and watch that Cinderella team turn back into a pumpkin.
No more impressive wins by our NFC East Rivals, making a ruling on that, go Cards!
Cowgirls look like the best team in the NFL right now.
SEA can be beaten with good defense and a run game. i think chargers are the best right now. then denver. then seattle maybe.
But at Seattle?
Still, there’s the 2nd half.
And my money’s on Russell Wilson. The guy’s star — and I don’t care how good the defense is there or Lynch.
Wilson’s a winner. And very good in the 4th Q when he has to be.
Something we would have wished for when we had McNabb..
After 2004, it seems like DMac took a step back.
Or the rest of the NFC passed the Birds.
Or both.
Wilson sold me two years ago in the ‘Hawks playoff loss to the Falcons at the Georgia Dome.
The kid took over the last 20 minutes.
lost a good WR
Sidney Rice was huge for that team.
Always thought he’d be a fit here.
But Reid hated big receivers.
WHY?!?!?!
Are u watching the girls game???
yes — dallas is complete on offense. Finally starting running and asking romo, who is a very good qb, to do less.
Don’t disagree abt SD.
Yep, I think it’s time to officially start worrying about the Cowboys.
this is that huge romo hit tommy referred to:
http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/tony-romo-hobbled-by-huge-bobby-wagner-hit-1645490822/+bubbaprog
No matter who wins tonight. The Boys are the team to beat in the NFCE. And I’m a homer.
why don’t you say it to the Kaiser GermanEagle, you homer!
Because we lost to frigging Poland yday..
oh, my b….
Figures the Seahawks would choose the Cowboys game to choke.
genius!
still early, though.
the Rams showed you only need about 9 minutes in the new NFL to score 21 points.
Against the Eagles, that is.
Seahawks gameplan is garbage. Marshawn Lynch with 2 carries at the half? Why bother having the best power run game in the NFL if you’re not going to use it.
This isn’t Seattle opening night, showing their hangover now.
It sucks seeing all the other teams in NFC East making all these explosive offensive plays, then having to cringe every time the Eagles offense takes the field. Ugh, I hope they get it together tonight. This could be ugly.
just keep hoping for the o line to get healthy, and for foles to get his head out of his ass…
Cowboys OL is dominant. They are manhandling the Seattle D both in run blocking and pass protection. Best unit in the NFL. If they can stay injury free they have a good shot at a super bowl this year.
nah, demarco will get hurt and it’ll be same old same old.
i hate this “07 giants syndrome” where a team is decimated by injuries and then some how becomes a contender.
I’d also add, its unbelievable the difference a new D-coordinator has done for them. With the injuries they have their absolutely no reason at all that unit should be any better than it was last year, and you can easily make the case that it SHOULD be worse.
Too soon to talk about how the entire NFL media-universe will become a super nova overnight if the Cowboys defeat Seattle.
But should the unexpected become fact . . . then I want T-Law to repost his “Rivals” piece, so I can say with conviction for the first time in 20 years:
“I REALLY HATE THE COWBOYS!”
This will be truly a miserable day if the Eagles lose tonight.
You ever listen to WIP? This town is miserable when they win.
Haha, every once in a while I turn it on while I’m driving in to work in the morning. I normally catch the end of Big Daddy Graham’s show, where he talks about music and movies but not really sports. Then Cataldi and the morning show comes on and they usually jump right into ripping someone or the other.
dont even want to see the halftime show.
Just thinking back a moment . . .
You knew Reid was a terrible GM when he passed on Jason Whitten for LJ Smith.
And then made it worse by saying that if the Birds’ couldn’t have traded up for McDougle (another joke) . . . Reid would have taken Smith in Rd 1.
UGH!!!!!!
oh shit i didn’t know we passed on witten for lj. LJ is one of my least favorite eagles. such an under performer. mcdougle was a bust but did have that one moment opening day in 04 where he hit the shit out of eli manning and gave us one of the all time manning faces!
LJ Smith in the first round? He’s not even a fireman!
oh thank god, just checked the injury report and ryans is a go! my biggest fear was acho and matthews, who together makeup about 3/4 of an actual nfl LB, playing together on the field for long periods of time.
Hopefully this isn’t a hobbled Demeco Ryans trying to gut it out because what’s behind him is so bad.
true, but a hobbled ryans is better than healthy acho/matthews. although big concerns on long term health if he tries to make a go of it while being really injured
thank god is right
He was never in doubt. Get real. Iron man meco!
are you sure? where do we go to see that?
larry fitzgerald=beast. just carried the ball and a redskins defender into the endzone! 14-10 cards.
oh tommy belated condolences on your O’s. 2 tough close loses. was rooting for the O’s bc the Royals are AL central rivals to my Indians. that and penn state shitting the bed in ann arbor, i hope the eagles can salvage this sports wknd.
These motherfuckers wanna ruin my life. Fucking Eagles better win tonight big
dude im with you. the hate is real with these nfc east games. i don’t care if it’s big or not. i just don’t want a game where we make a whole bunch of plays to try and beat ourselves.
5-1 dude.. Relax
granted we’re 5-1, but it’s a shaky 5-1. and it’s not like the rest of the nfc east have fallen off a cliff record wise. i vote for a sense of urgency with this game. not the end of the world if we lose, but it’s always a big game when we play anyone in the east.
We are 4-1…after we win tonight we will be 5-1… I don’t know what being shaky 4-1 means,l this is football, Not a picnic… Shit ton of adversity presented its self, and 4 times out of 5, we have over come it… That’s facts.. Not interested in judging NFL games with BCS goggles .. Don’t care about style points, rankings..l
..
You are what your record says you are,, I believed that when we were 4-12 and you can bet I be.ieve it today..
…
Doubt many teams can overcome losing the best center and guard in the NFL and be 4-1… Style points are silly
shaky in terms of performance. in games where the margin of victory is 7 points or less a NFL team’s avg record is .500. we can very easily have a worse record since a lot of our games have been close (7pts or less).
style points are silly, just ask any college football fan who has been screwed by the polls/bcs (Penn State fans circa 94).
if we win tonight i don’t think we’ll be shaky
Monster game today for Ziggy Ansah. That was the guy I wanted us to take last year with pick #4.
That was HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Cry bitch crying for a penalty..they better stop them here
Believe it or not, it might be better for us if Dallas gives Seattle a loss
Not if my lifetime, not(edit) where I live.
I assume we will continue to handle our business and be competing with Seattle for home field advantage which is crucial if we plan on being more than tourists in the playoffs…
..
Rather Seattle get a loss, I know we can beat Dallas twice late in the season and take their bitch ass out of the equation our selves… I love that those fraud bitches have to play us twice in crunch time…
..
We control Dallas destiny… Let them give Seattle a loss.. Plus I don’t mind everyone disrespecting our boys and talking about how great the Cowboys are in October.. I know those bitches are soft in crunch time
long season, horse before the cart, whatever cliche you want me to give you. before we worry about HFA let’s worry about winning the east. and that begins with us winning games and rooting against the girls/skins/giants
long season,l.exactly why I refuse to be a prisoner of the moment like the rest of fans who think whatever they are seeing most recent, is an accurate depiction of how these season will unfold…
oh for sure, im waiting for the likes of kendricks/kelce/mathis/etc to get healthy so we get gain momentum/continuity and hit our stride late in the season
the trick is surviving the first part of season so we are at least in a position to do something late in the season.
They are killing them underneath, even though a 1st, they did it before
Let’s get a drive going , this shit so important to me..the fake CUNT cowboys fans will be flying out of the woods in philly, my town, it’s not their team, I hate those bitches
Yeah that’s more like it!
Screaming in my apt like I’m watching the Eagles.
For some reason the Cowboys-Seahawks game is blacked out for me now. WTF.
Sorry, well at least you don’t have to watch this shit at the moment.
I’m not going to the game tonight..watching an Eagles game with 3 140lb one year old guard dogs is not easy…I scream and it sets off my cane Corso alarm system lol
…
These dogs need to get used to an eagles game… Sucks watching an Eagles game with them
The Seahawks look very ordinary.
Looking like the Eagles. No offense, no defense, great special teams.
I’m really suprised the Cowboys D looks decent. I know the yards per play stat is not great, but they’re getting off the field on 3rd down. I’ve always been a pretty big fan of Rod Marinelli though. Thought he’s a pretty good DC.
They won at the line, and tackled well.
Tackling well really is the biggest difference. Winning at the line is important, but you have to be able to bring the ball carrier down. The Eagles would be so much better on D if they were a better tackling team.
Super Bowl hangover. They’re a lot less intimidating when somebody punches them right back.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I’m sure a replay will change it
We got it. I’m Seattle for now..lol
Well, Troy Aikman is highly aroused and making me feel uncomfortable. I’m channel surfing.
LOVE ITTTTTTTTTT
wow
Suck it COWSHIT!
what happened im stuck in Skins tv territory.
Wilson ran it in tie game
nice, thx
NP
Guys I’m 46 going on 47, I would make love to the Giants before I would even have a little like for the cowshits. I grew up in great pain, and i’ts cause of the fake fans in Philly that think the Cowboys are their team. I HATE THOSE MFERS
I have a stressful night ahead and it could be great, half-half or death.
Mind you, I could go to Dallas, never have been, and yet would have no hatred whatsoever, just jealousy of the fans who had a great team. Yeah I hate the arrogance of all teams fans, but the cowfake fans take the cake. The reall Dallas fans deserve their team.
Life is getting better.
dallas is dallas at the end of the day.
They are the better team today, turnovers, thanks god. 🙂
Man, Cowboys and Seahawks going at it like division rivals.
And we haven’t even gotten to the best part yet. 4th quarter Romo is coming.
Rex Ryan seems to be done after this year in NY. Do we fire Davis if the defense continues to be bad and take Rex?
Purely from a football perspective %100 yes. I do think that he has dug himself a hole with his mouth though. A great coach but too much personality for a Coordinator.
I doubt the Eagles fire Davis. Kelly just doesn’t seem to care enough about defense. He’s laid out his parameters (two-gap 3-4, player heights, etc) and Davis follows those, so I think that’s all that matters to Chip.
I’m also not sure Rex has the type of character Kelly would be into.
i trust this organization from the top down to do the right thing. i doubt that kelly “doesn’t care enough about defense.” he knows what give offenses trouble and wants that system in place. he’s not an expert on running defenses so he stays back and let’s his coaching staff coach. he knows this is a process and won’t overreact in the short term.
you need time to get the personnel in place in order to be successful. perennial bad teams overreact, fire the people in place, and have their attention drawn to the shiniest new object they see. this is not a recipe for success in the nfl, let alone on any level.
give fipp time to develop players and obtain talent that fits his scheme. i say he’s done pretty well considering the secondary we have/had and the fact that trent cole and brandon graham had to be converted to OLBs.
I had this thought also, but I wonder if Rex and Chip can work together over a whole season, with Chip liking to keep things calm and quiet and Rex seemingly liking to talk in the press a bit.
Anyone think we should’ve taken Spencer?
Not really. He’s a solid starter but not special.
Yeah when we did all that traded down though, we got Kolb right? And then whatever else I can’t tell you.
Stewart Bradley and CJ Gaddis I think. Though if we hadn’t had the pick to waste on Gaddis we may not have gotten Brent Celek.
K, wasn’t sure.
Fuck, they got get TD’s there.
17 points on turnovers. I thought Dallas had a scary horrible defense?
That special 4th quarter Romo TD makes me happy. Don’t wanna jinx anything, knock wood.
The lady in my apt grandson Philly Brown plays for the Panthers, I know no one gives a shit, he rarely plays. Surprised he was drafted.
He spiked the ball, unsportsman like conduct
Delay? That’s personal foul no?
No, just a delay of game if you spike the ball outside of the end zone. (Apparently a 2007 rule change…)
Gotchya
Boy Shady’s going to get pounded if we don’t have guys back when we play Seattle. Edit: Worse than normal
Unreal
Fuck them we got Parkey
Wow they ran the Eagles spin play..geez
what the heck is going on here. where did dallas get a defense from? jerry needs to start making more personnel decisions in Dallas.
Seattle is starting their Super Bowl hangover today I guess
i’m sure they’ll snap out it by the time we play them
Bingo
That’s big, that’s beautiful, a relief they don’t have to punt from there.
who the F is sterling moore.
Not much different than Sherman Dez play
Guess it’ll come down to a 70 yard record breaking fg win for Dallas.
Nice Wilson
That’s why his name is on the ball amirite?
Who drew that fucking horse shit play up?
K Romo throw you INT
It’s like Andy Reid is calling Seattle’s plays. No runs, are you kidding me?
Seriously? What are they thinking?
Marshawn Lynch had 2 carries in the first half. He’s up to 7 now! So definitely more runs than Andy.
Keep these fuckers deep and make them punt
You funny haters. Cowboys still in there. Ffs.
Hard to understand, but I guess I’m missing something.
I am missing the Cowboys worst D today.
Why? You’re not watching the game?
Lol
chris baker of skins is back to his old cheap shoting ways, nearly took carson palmer’s head off
OOOOO Aikman please call the personal foul on the qb ..asswipe
Watch this…3rd 16, watch the middle and short pass.
Beautiful, kept them deep like I said they should. They listened to me and it worked. I’m right, right, right.
Man you’re really into this game lol.
Dude the cowboys are the bane of my existence.
I can appreciate that ;).
appreciate the effort/hustle!
is jason garett just the most expensive cheerleader ever?
WOOOOO HOOOO Great punt.
What did the Seahawks trade to KC for Andy Reid?
Penalty no doubt
Troy Aikman disagrees because he’s Troy Aikman.
Yep
He got it, no doubt he was going to run that.
RUn RUn Run
The Seahawks suddenly realize they have Marshawn Lynch on the team, decide to use him.
It was the perfect call out of the shotgun
Lucky bastard
Idiot
He was out of bounds anyway
i fell like im watching the girls/hawks game reading BC1968’s posts!
lol
Goddamn he better make that if their guy makes a 56
Off topic from BC’s narration but I could reaaaallllyyyy use a Brendan Oliver TD here in the SD game.
Oh FFS, stopped at the half yard line.
Am I annoying, or can I keep going guys? lol
I say keep going. Makes me feel like I’m not watching the game alone.
lol k thanks, I can’ t shut up
Knock yourself out, the Hawks/Dallas game is blacked out for me.
k lol
shitty/archaic broadcast rules, fuck the nfl
big turnover in the skins/cards game. cards have good field position.
4th quarter turnover please!!!!!!!!
ryan kerrigan going to the locker room, big loss for the skins if he can’t return
possible concussion
Make these short yardage fucking tackles..only 5 yards guys…ok 2nd down
Yesssss Brendan Oliver!!! The dream lives!
3rd 5….we NEED THIS!!
fuck he wasn’t even looking damn it
He’s been talking to employee 26.
Holding Dallas 1 and 20..we need to keep em back guys
the cards rookie kicker is money, another FG makes it a two score game for the cards
Nice, short yard tackle that time by sherman…ok guys 2nd 20…pressure is coming on romo get ready int
Beautiful..nothing stupid 3rd and 20..NOTHING FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!!!!
You knew it would happen.
This is unreal
It’s just like watching the Eagles.
Challenge it? This was close
I don’t know that he had control on the way down.
Watch the foot, wasn’t established, only chance they have.
That one foot wasn’t established guys I don’t know
He never established that foot, it slide, but it wasn’t possessed PLEASE listen to me refs.
“it slide, but it wasn’t possessed”
What exactly are you saying?
Eh Doesn’t matter I was just praying for shit
This sucks
Romo will int if he gets this call. Please foot, pleased not established.
It’s funny that people all of a sudden say the Seahwaks suck but I cannot remember that the reigning super bowl champion would struggle with the apparent worst defense in this league.
your words are confusing
We know how u feel no need to rub it in
It’s about being right on here..that’s all
INT INT INT
The Seahawks are tackling like the Eagles.
int int int
This defense is night and day from the one that demolished the packers week 1. What happened?
shouldnt you be stretching?
No not all ..please shhhh
My brother told me not to at the dinner table last week. He never seems to get injured so I listen to all his advice.
Tellng you ,, that hangover comes sooner or later.
int int int
oh goodness..
Need a long drive by Russell lol
Seattle completes its choke job.
So seriously, they had to trade like a 5th round pick for Andy right?
Didn’t want it in Romo’s hands
Ugh we may be looking at the class of the NFC East.
We need a drive here to take the lead that’s all. No worries.
Where’s German Eagle . . . .
About 2.5 hours ago, he said “The Cowboys are good.”
Yes. They. Are.
Not who we thought they were.
The offensive line is excellent. The commitment to the run game is finally sinking in with that coaching staff.
im here. But people give me shit for stating the obvious. Dallas. Sucks.
Hey. You were on this.
All. Week. Long. Actually.
Curious to see reading GEagle’s comments tomorrow.
One of those crazy games, we got it.
All their passes seem low percentage
Game here.
Hearing the chants of “DEFENSE! DEFENSE!” in Seattle kind of kills the whole 12th man hype.
Thinking the exact same thing.
The Cowbandwagoners go everywhere.
On the bright side with Seahawks losing we can get number one seed
True that, but you gotta hear shit talking from asshole cowshit fans
this is sickening.
Eagles better be impressive tonight.
wow got mugged
or not.
Absolutely.
Wilson looked like a horrible rookie there.
F. U.
GermanE:
At whom was that eloquent comment directed?
Dallas. 😉
just wanted to confirm
All good mate. 🙂
Wow Pete, looks like a college team that’s for sure….lol
Troy Aikman . . . dial it back a bit, dude
I like him sometimes, but not when he’s talking about the Cowboys. Homerrific.
I do feel bad for whoever the Seahawks play next week. They’re going to come out pissed.
Who. Cares.
Are you always a dick?
Seriously. Are all Germans like this?
Why? What’s the problem?
You know Germans
Lol. Racist. 😉
Hey watch it I’m trying to get a team in LA called the LA Berliners.
🙂
Send the tissues out to him. One loves to see the Eagles win and be right, the other the complete opposite. It’s a jerk-off fest.
Stop whining. Don’t know what all your problems are. I love the Eagles to bits. Just like you do IHope.
lol he actually said stop whining
Yes. And I meant it.
But you were directing to not one person in that thread. Not one person was whining, so I don’t know how you meant it.
Ehhh Look at it this way, going to Seattle doesn’t look that bad all of a sudden.
I love Eagles fans. Eagles better make the playoffs first.
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China
As much as I paid for my Chinese sweet and sour last night.
Exactly.
It was good. 😉
I mix peppermint with green tea and then some regular for the caffeine and run it through the coffemaker, comes out good.
Seattle is a home game
Oh that’s right 49ers were the away game, that’s even better.
This could make for one depressing night.
YOu aint shitting, no tv radio and only porn on the internet for me pal
not all bad i guess
Peter King . . . he’ll be a one-man cheering squad for the Cowboys tomorrow.
“OMG, the Cowboys may be better than Denver . . . because no one goes into Seattle and does that” . . . .
BLAH. BLAH. BLAH.
The cascade of bullshit starts in 3 minutes.
At least I’m gonna win my 3-1 bet on the Cowboys.
If Dallas is smart, they’ll keep doing what they’ve been doing and not going to a prevent defense.
That almost prevented the Eagles from winning.
Hey guys things are wrapped up in early October, forget about football. KC started 9-0 last year…what happened. People know shit in early October.
KC didn’t play Seattle at home.
That’s not the point..lol
umm they went to the playoffs.
Wow, forget it.
I guess it’s not over, but Seattle’s played like garbage today. I don’t see that changing now.
Need a pass interference
Seattle had ZERO timeouts.
Dallas is in FG range.
Why is Romo not taking a knee?
Why risk a fumble or penalty?
that shit is not going to cut it.
Dallas doesn’t even have this loud of chanting in Dallas. Where’s Seattle’s fabled 12th man?
We replaced Russell Wilson with a rookie, let’s see if anyone notices..
It will be nice to see the Seattle balloon get deflated a little, I guess…
i didn’t think they were dominate as last year none the less gotta give dallas credit…
And so the cascade begins . . . .
Even if the Eagles win, no chance I read anything about the NFL.
Because, as of today, there’s only 1 team in the NFL.
WOW. We better win this game tonight. I can’t watch sportscenter at all this week
All week you’re going to hear “We should have run the ball more” from Seattle. Idiotic playcalling. This is what happens when you put the game in the hands of Russel Wilson.
He’s not nearly as good when he doesn’t have a dominant running game and defense backing him. Still a very nice quarterback, but all this “top 5 in the NFL” talk is nonsense.
Top 5? Usually they crown him number one overall
Yeah, and they completely abandoned the run this game. Insane!
Dallas DBs played tough.
The refs let both sides play real football.
Seattle’s lack of a WR exposed.
And Wilson . . . wow. Looked like an imposter.
He’s a game manager — in a good way. But he’s not peyton manning or even tono romo — gun slinging isn’t his game. He’ll get positive plays and won’t turn the ball over.
In fairness to Wilson, he’s had his moments.
good ones, I mean.
yeah reality is you cant win them all.
Our resident QB evaluator is going to have a stern word with you.
Aikman: “Great win for this franchise”
They’re 4-1.
Not 18-0.
This was their superbowl.
I thought they could easily be 0-5.
A team not that much different from the Eagles?
The difference between winning and losing in the NFL is not much.
Except when JAX is the opponent.
Djax lost today on a blicked field goal to end the game.
It’s insane watching teams be crowned in October. Bordering on retarded, but it’s been done a million times, so there’s that.
If we looked better I would have crowned us. Seattle is 19-2 at home. I do think it’s a big win for them and a statement win the division.
When was the last time a team won the Super Bowl by peaking in October?
Dallas being an actual contender rather than just another hot-starting also-ran depends on at least four things that history suggests are highly improbable:
1.)DeMarco Murray staying healthy;
2.)an undertalented defense not being exposed as the season goes along;
3.)Tony Romo not falling apart in December;
4.)Jason Garrett outcoaching his counterpart in big late-season games
Looking at that list, I’m not worried. We’ve seen this movie before. The postseason “how did such a promising season fall apart?” laments from the Cowboy apologists might as well already be written.
Jason Garrett doens’t call plays.
No, but he does mismanage the clock, blow timeouts, waste challenges, etc. Having a chump as your head coach still hurts you even if he’s not calling plays.
Exactly right, on both your posts.
Number 2 is such an excellent point, when you overachieve, you can only do it for so long, it doesn’t get better. This is an overachieving defense right now. Hey that could change, but shit, we’re going to hear fucking COWBOYS out our asses all week long. We need to thump the Giants.
Don’t look now but the Skins have got to within 3 with a little over 2 mins to play.
No timeouts and the Cardinals just got the onside kick attempt.
After coy boys win I don’t even care.
All major television outlets will be running 24/7 news on how the Cowboys franchise is back on top.
This is how crazy things change. Seattle was crowned opening night after mashing up on Green Bay, now look at things. Green Bay is good, but nothing special.>Where are the good teams? Are we talking about Dallas? Yeah maybe right now, but it’s october, no worries.
I remember someone on here saying don’t assume Seattle wins cause Dallas is playing well..oH yeah..that was me…my arm hurts from patting my own back…
Thank God for Romo, the year the Pats went undefeated the Cowboys were clearly the best team in the NFC. Romo is the wildcard.
Kirk Cousins Romo’d the ‘Skins.
Thanks Kirk Cousins. I needed that.
Cousins just tossed a TERRIBLE pick six to end the game. Haha LoLskins.
I hate waiting all damn day for the Eagles on Sunday night games.
Next week will be terrible.
Next two weeks, that is.
Unless we win, I could use the break.
We win and watch the Giants/Cowboys beat each other up next week.
This means a lot. I mean not season deciding, but we have to play really well on offense, we have to stay in first place, and I want to have a nice tear free week.
Peaking in October don’t mean jack. Tell me how the Cowboys are doing come December.
Go down to xeynon posts down below. Excellent points.
It’s not that far down.
Dallas will be meeting a completely healthy Eagles team by the way. Hopefully Foles will be Foles, and Shady will be running well with the OL back together.
fucking pumped baby, im ready for that 1st half thread!!!
I’m not a huge BG fan but I broke out the rookie year BG 54 jersey hoping for some good juju. If we lose the jersey is getting burned.
I’m in all-black. I’ve got black sweat pants and an Eagles black t-shirt over an old, black thermal shirt.
Crap gotta change, my white Randall to my black Dawkins…
Shit I hope I didn’t mess anything up doing that, ehhh well I’ll blame you guys.
