Division is gone. Dallas 3 games up now and looking strong. Only things that's stopping them from winning the division is if they let Romo back in there.
Both times he went for it instead of kicking were mistakes and were compounded by the horrendous play calls he came up with.
This was my thought too but at this point I'm worried about the errors in judgement from Doug. I was hoping he was just overwhelmed and they were growing pains but maybe this is just who he is.
You know just as much as we do.
I didn't mind that fact that we were going for it in those situations. We got into an early hole and he was being aggressive. But WHY in the name of Zeus's butthole would you use your SMALLEST running back (who gets knocked down if the wind blows too hard) and run a pitch or sweep?? Put Mathews in there behind a full back and let him plow straight ahead for one yard. Sproles is not a power-back. I love the little dude, but let's call a spade a spade.. he's MUCH more effective in space, not trying to move the pile. It was infuriating. The play-calling was highly suspect yesterday, especially in critical short yardage situations.
I have no idea. Aikman tried to be nice by saying "Oh he's a rookie so maybe that's why he didn't get the call" or something like that. They weren't even close calls either.
Probably shouldn't have drafted Mathews. You can still pick up Smallwood. He probably has a shot to get those grind em out yards. Mathews blew his chance with the fumbles. They fed the guy the first 2 weeks.
Yeah, Honestly Matthews has no business getting carries unless someone gets hurt. He offers very little
Quite true but I'm holding on. Sproles will get injured. And with that the Eagles will lose one of their main weapons due to stupidity.
There's no upside with having him IMO. He wont be a bell cow even if Sproles gets hurt and has fumbling and injury issues.
I think we got a shot. we seem to be much better at home and we have beaten some good teams there already. why not
Wentz has to have his best day as a qb for us to keep up and win this one. atl is gonna score
Agree with most of this, but not the bolded. If you watch play by play, you'll find Cox is double teamed 90%+ of the time. Any time a DT requires double teaming like that, he's effective, even if he never touches the QB or a ball-carrier.

Yeah, still don't get this. It is hard to rely on him, sure, but he always seems to produce when he can go.
At first I was hoping they'd make the NFC Championship game so our future pick moved up a round. But at this point since that doesn't look likely, I'm fully hoping they lose every game the rest of the season. The fact that their pick that we get might be better than our pick that we lose is awesome.
Our entire team rushed the ball well. If I'm not mistaken he average around 5 ypc and that was still 3rd behind Smallwood and Sproles.
Wasn't even looking at YPC. To deny the eye test is silly. He looked GOOD today. Explosive, elusive, protected the ball well, etc.
Go back and watch. You will see a common theme--on just about every decent run he had he wasn't event touched until into the second level
Just thinking about this. Last year we had Cooper, Randle, Huff and Givens. Are any on an active roster this season?
