GO!

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Another game that could have a surprising ending tomorrow
One team has momentum and the other has won many games but the last two weeks it's been the Thrilla in Manilla and the Rumble in the Jungle

 

[Terpman22]

Eagles 31
Cowboys 16

Cowboys will be having Jaelan Phillips nightmares. This is one of those games Jalen Hurts just goes off bc he is sick of so much noise when the team keeps winning.

Dallas is going to find out what a real defense feels like.

I like the confidence. The Cowboy’s best win this year was a tie with the Pack. Something is whispering to me that this will be a close game, possibly an upset for Dallas. Constant distractions will catch-up to PHI eventually.

8-2 and just shut down one of the best offenses in the league to 9 points and gave Goff a career worst completion %.

The Eagles defense as a whole has allowed 9 total passing touchdowns this year (tied for lowest), have allowed a passer rating of 78.0(3rd lowest) and have only allowed a completion rate of 56.6% (lowest). That’s all while being ranked 24th in sacks, which tells you how sticky the coverage has been this year.

And now we actually have a pass rush.

The Houston Texans lead the league in defensive EPA per play at .13.

When Phillips is on the field the Eagles are at .34 EPA per play on defense.

Notable QBs the Eagles have played this year to help accumulate these stats:

All wins

Dak
Love
Mahomes
Goff
Mayfield
Stafford

Sure the offense doesn’t look good but I feel the coverage of this has far outweighed any coverage of how INSANE this defense is playing right now.

Confidence: warranted.

This is the game of the week in my opinion. Also, a monster game for Dallas, as they need to win badly. On the one hand, the Eagles didn't have Jalen Carter or Jaelen Phillips in the 1st meeting, on the other hand, Dallas didn't have Quinnen Williams or Jadeveon Clowney, and Donovan Ezeiruaku (quietly a DROY candidate) was a backup at the time. Perhaps more importantly than any of that though, Philly had Lane Johnson for that game, and don't now.

I think the Eagles come out trying to establish the run with Barkley, as they are even more loathe to be pass 1st with Johnson out. I also think we could see the return of more read option stuff for Hurts (which they ran a lot of in that week one game, but not as much since)

I think the Eagles D is very different than it was in week 1, I don't think they let Lamb get matched up so frequently with Adoree Jackson (as a Lamb shareholder I wish they would though) but I think Pickens is a much bigger weapon now than he was then, with his rapport with Dak, that I think the coverage is gonna be on its heels a lot. I do think they mostly shut down the Dallas run game, but I think Dak can have a good game this week.

I don’t disagree with your confidence. PHI is the better team and their D is a B to face. I also think DAL has the “potential” offensively to make this a game. The NFL is weird and rivalry games can be tough to predict. Good luck!

Oh yeah by no means is this a “guaranteed win” and if Dallas beats the Eagles I won’t be shocked.

But if they come out and get 30+ points and rip off 450 yards of offense, then I would be shocked.

+ I’m in Texas so….lol…really would like a win while I’m here

Do you think this is a Pickens game?

I think it can be. In week 1, they basically locked Quinyon Mitchell onto Pickens and that was that, Dak didn't really challenge it because Lamb was getting open at will, and if it weren't for some drops, Dallas wins that game.

Pickens has only gotten a greater rapport with Pickens since then, and I think if Philly uses the same plan, Dak won't hesitate to challenge it now. If they change it up, or treat Lamb and Pickens as equals, that opens another avenue for Pickens. I would rank Lamb ahead of Pickens this week, don't get me wrong, but I think Pickens isn't gonna be 4 targets for 3-30. He'll get more looks, and likely those will be more downfield as well, even against the improved Eagles pass rush.

I'd be treating Pickens as a top-15 WR, instead of the top-10 WR he usually would be, but I wouldn't be worried about him.

 

[renesauz]

feels like Eagles are due to disappoint, though they are clearly the better team here. Still, wouldn't be high in any confidence pool...road game against a hated and desperate divisional rival isn't the scenario to inspire high confidence.

Eagles 27 Dallas 17...but not a high confidence prediction. NOthing but a Dallas blowout would surprise me

I think an Eagles blowout would be surprising as well. They’ve blown out one team (the Giants) all year. They don’t have the fire power in offense to blow out teams this year.

 

[Rubi]

Here we gooooooo
The Cowboys think they're good again
Everyone outside of the Eagles locker room thinks they're not so good
But they keep winning
The visitors will knock the home team back into their Cave of Despair
Easy one for me...

Pheagles- 29

Jerry's Boys- 19

 

[Football Jones]

Philly doesn't have a chance to repeat, but they do have a strong D. The main attraction is the Cowboys' O against the Eagles' D, but the key to the game might be Philly's O against Dallas' D.

We know Dallas will be a better team next season with all the talent Jerry has brought in as Philly struggles to keep pace, but this one is likely a toss-up. Two similarly talented teams at this point.

 

[unckeyherb]

Dak is something like 19-2 at home against NFCE opponents. Unreal. I said in the Eagles thread that I think this is a loss. But I also reserved the right to completely flip my opinion based on my geekedness for this game.

Soooo, with the additions of Phillips and BG, getting Nolan Smith back and Nakobe playing like an all pro this defense is top 2. They won’t be able to completely bottle up Dallas but they’ll keep them to mid 20’s. Expect a couple of turnovers.

I personally think they’ve been keeping Jalen from running at all. The designed runs are way down and they basically don’t run RPOs anymore.

I think that changes in this game. They’ve protected their QB for most of the season, are 8-2 and honestly if they can get out of Dallas with a win, they might run the table.

Running Jalen open it up for literally everyone else. Saquon benefits the most obviously but the WRs will get open easier also.

I’m expecting a big game for the offense today as they finally uncork Jalen.

Birds win 42-24

DALLAS SUCKS!!!

 

[Snotbubbles]

I feel like the Cowboys are getting a bit overrated here after beating up on the Raiders. The Raiders are a bad team all around.

The only pause I have about this game us it's a division game and the Cowboys are at home. But it's not enough for me to pick Dallas, It's just enough for me to say that the score will be close, but Eagles win. Something like 27-23.

That's a strange statement. They have the fire power. The thing is, look at their schedule, they've played almost every good team in the league. There aren't many weeks where you'd expect them to blow out their opponent. They're getting ready to go on a stretch in their schedule where they face some of the worst defenses in the league instead of some of the best. When all is said and done, the offense will be top 10 in the league, probably around 6-8 where they've been virtually every year with Hurts.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

This is hyperbole - take it easy:

I call your bum QB a running QB and every key to victory or way to open up the offense is if Jalen runs. Hilarious.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I can’t predict an NFC divisional game. Both teams are completely different. Week 1 teams barely resemble what they become later. That transformation is bigger than any single weekly change.

Eagles O line is missing two starters? I think the key is Overshown tracking down QRB Hurts when the middle collapses with all the firepower the Cowboys now have at DT. Yall got the buffalo kid but Williams is that dude. No hyperbole here - he is him. OSA is now free to wreck.

I know Dak can turn back into a pumpkin at any point but IIRC, he’s never lost to Philly or maybe only once? Somebody brought up his divisional record and it’s insane.

Cowboys are also playing at home for the first time since Kneeland’s passing. It’s going to be emotional but that can backfire sometimes too and players wear out after an initial charge.

Let’s just hope we get a good game with just the right amount of scoring and no injuries or bad calls.

GO COWBOYS!

1. Its true though, the offense performs best when he need to be accounted for by the defense, either in reaction to designed runs or RPOs or both.
2. No one takes issue with people calling him a “running QB”. We take issue when people call him a “RB playing QB.”

Did you know Dak’s is 21-2 vs the NFC East at home in his career?

Also, no NFC East East team has repeated as division champion since 2004?

I don’t know why it’s strange when it’s a completely factual statement. It’s possible that the offense suddenly starts to show life against a bad defense on the road. Just don’t think it’s probable and yes an Eagles blowout would be very surprising to me.

ETA - and it looks like you predicted a close game so what exactly do you disagree with?

The Eagles don’t have the firepower is the strange statement IMO.

The roster is the same as last year.

The Offensice Coaches are not.

Thats my guess to what is strange as if the Eagles “do not have a roster that can score points on offense” seems like …ya know…something strange to say.

You can say the coaching has been lacking, the play calling, the cohesion, the line play, the execution etc.

But IMO saying “they don’t have firepower” is strange

Got it. Ok that I can understand. I should have used different words but my overall point was that I would be surprised with a blowout either way. I think it comes down to the last drive.

It's true Eagles don't have many blowouts on their record this year. It's also true they've played a brutal schedule and mostly good defenses. Outside of that one weird game in NY, nobody has blown up this defense though. Meanwhile Dallas has allowed several teams to blow up on them. I don't think the Eagles blowing them out is likely...I expect it to stay close most of the game though I predicted a 10 point win...but I wouldn't find it surprising either. Not because of who the Eagles are, but because of who the Cowboys are

 

[GrantK]

Anything more on this?!?! Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (personal) will travel separately from the rest of the team for their Week 12 contest against the Dallas Cowboys and has no game status.

You can say the coaching has been lacking, the play calling, the cohesion, the line play, the execution etc.

But IMO saying “they don’t have firepower” is strange

Got it. Ok that I can understand. I should have used different words but my overall point was that I would be surprised with a blowout either way. I think it comes down to the last drive.

Anything other than the eagles are the best at everything is going to get you called out. You should know that by now lol

Anything more on this?!?! Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (personal) will travel separately from the rest of the team for their Week 12 contest against the Dallas Cowboys and has no game status.

He’s playing?

I’m not sure what people are looking for other than “why did he travel in a separate plane”

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

feels like Eagles are due to disappoint, though they are clearly the better team here. Still, wouldn't be high in any confidence pool...road game against a hated and desperate divisional rival isn't the scenario to inspire high confidence.

Eagles 27 Dallas 17...but not a high confidence prediction. NOthing but a Dallas blowout would surprise me

I think an Eagles blowout would be surprising as well. They’ve blown out one team (the Giants) all year. They don’t have the fire power in offense to blow out teams this year.

That's a strange statement. They have the fire power. The thing is, look at their schedule, they've played almost every good team in the league. There aren't many weeks where you'd expect them to blow out their opponent. They're getting ready to go on a stretch in their schedule where they face some of the worst defenses in the league instead of some of the best. When all is said and done, the offense will be top 10 in the league, probably around 6-8 where they've been virtually every year with Hurts.

I don’t know why it’s strange when it’s a completely factual statement. It’s possible that the offense suddenly starts to show life against a bad defense on the road. Just don’t think it’s probable and yes an Eagles blowout would be very surprising to me.

The Eagles don’t have the firepower is the strange statement IMO.

The roster is the same as last year.

We try. You cant handle it.

We make fun of you for not being able to handle it.

You repeat a previously witty response we use on you and attempt to make it your own.

Everyone else asks us to knock it off

Rinse and repeat.

So talking football…

How do the eagles handle missing two of your linemen? Do you really think the revamped Cowboys line can’t get pressure now?

To start, by only missing one lineman. Cam Jurgens is not listed on the injury report.
