IMO the two biggest money pits on offense this year are Jurgens and Dickerson, both have been awful. The whole offense is built around running the ball and they cant run the ball and the qb making top dollar isnt a good enough passer to make up for the lack of run game. It all starts up front and for an O line that has consistently been ranked i n the top 3 the last 5 years theyve been awful, im not sure anyone would have predicted the eagles O line would fall off a cliff, particularly run blocking, the pass blocking has been ok. If Were looking to trim the fat those two would top of my list.

Seems like alot of posters predicted the Eagles would lose the game. Division opponent. Eagles and Cowboys pretty much split every year. Dallas isnt a bad team at all. Great offense and defense improved some with Quinnen Williams addition. Being up 21-0 and losing is what stings the most. They have to get the run game going somehow. It's the biggest issue with the offense.

Two things This is a playoff win team at best due to fail oline and even bigger fail OC. Better find a way to keep Nakobe Dean cause GD he is a monster now

What I said still stands "I will reserve that for when they play better offenses like KC later this week and lions in a few weeks.”

Patullo hasn’t been fired yet?

I can’t believe they had an entire fictional galaxy and came to the conclusion, "We’ll just reset everything, make the original trilogy meaningless, and Rey can be better than everyone.”

DAL will be on their 3rd game in 11 days this Thursday. They should have not been on MNF last week, LV should have been Sunday game. NFL is ignorant about certain things especially when it comes to viewership, they are going to ride their show ponies, PHI, BUF, KC, DAL, DET, SF…

They have been running a ton of that recently.

Eagles called 8 passing plays and 4 rushing plays in the 3rd quarter.

Looking back at the rams first game against Seahawks I don’t get why some thought a rams win was good. The rams will probably sweep them.

The Eagles latched onto something special and won a SB with a team straight out of the early 90's, maybe even 80's. Minimal passing offense with a huge bruising OL, a dominant run game, and a great defense. I was wrong....they answered the question that you CAN win a SB with that blueprint. And we are all ecstatic about that. Here's where I was right...building your team around the running game is not sustainable. There are 2 reasons why other NFL teams don't build around the run. 1 is the now defunct notion that you can't win a SB with that. 2 is the concern that it's not sustainable. Barkley is a shell this year and our banged up OL....take note....is pass protecting well but can't get push in the running game. If this team could pass the ball, we might be an undefeated or a 1 loss team right now. We are suffering the consequences of building the offense around the run right now.

Eagles Blow It In Big DPosted November 23rd, 2025 Everything is gonna be alright. But don’t take my word for it. I got into the car to go grab a burger after the Eagles lost 24-21 to Dallas. I was in a foul mood and I had a sore hand from punching a keyboard. I turned on the radio and the first thing I heard was Bob Marley say… Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright If you can’t trust Bob, who can you trust? Certainly not the Eagles. They got out to a 21-0 lead in Dallas and life was good. The Eagles weren’t playing great, but were able to take advantage of Cowboys mistakes. Then the Eagles started making mistakes of their own. Dallas took advantage and did enough to win the game on a last second FG. The first instinct for many is to figure out who to blame. Is this more on Nick Sirianni or Kevin Patullo? Offense or defense? This was a team collapse, not just one person or side of the ball. The Eagles were called for 14 penalties. They had 2 turnovers. That’s a group effort. The offense had some nice gains wiped out by dumb mistakes. The defense gave up 7 explosive plays, with three of them going for more than 43 yards. STs made some critical errors, including a missed FG. That truly is a group effort. Losing the game sucks, but the bigger concern for me is how banged up the team is. Adoree Jackson was in concussion protocol. Reed Blankenship left with a thigh injury and didn’t return. Drew Mukuba got hurt late. I couldn’t tell if that was knee or ankle. That’s not ideal on a short week. The Eagles play the Bears on Friday. The biggest concern within the Dallas game is that the Eagles lost the line of scrimmage. The Cowboys out-rushed the Eagles 125-63. They got regular pressure on Jalen Hurts. Dak more often than not had time to throw. He was able to burn the Eagles with multiple deep balls. The Eagles pass rush which was so good against Detroit didn’t show up. Jaelan Phillips had 1 QB hit. He didn’t make any tackles or plays. The Eagles OL was sloppy all game long. They got no push in the run game. Saquon Barkley finished 10-22. Barkley needed to do more himself. He fumbled after a catch and run. He slipped on a play when he had a chance for a first down. There were a couple of runs when he seemed to choose the wrong gap/hole. His blocking could have been better on some pass plays. He wasn’t the only star to make a mistake. Zack Baun dropped an INT that came right to him. Dallas drove down and scored a TD after that. Stars have to make plays. This is a brutal loss and there isn’t any disputing that. You go up 21-0 and then fail to score after that…yikes. Not good. But anyone who says this is going to kill the Eagles needs to step back. Last year the Eagles were up 21-7 on WAS early. They were up 30-28 late. The Eagles picked off a pass and went up 33-28 with 1:58 left. WAS won that game in the final seconds. The Eagles won the next week with Kenny Pickett as the starting QB. The WAS loss was truly crushing. You just knew the Eagles were going to win. This game was more like a slow burn. Once the Eagles stalled you started to think they were going to lose. It wasn’t shocking at all. There is more drama this season and that is always an X-factor. But this team has played a tough schedule and beaten a lot of good teams. They should have the mental and emotional toughness to overcome a bad game. They lost consecutive games in October and came back to win the next four. Nick Sirianni and his staff have a lot of issues to sort through in the next 24 hours. They need to fix mistakes and figure out the injury situation. Chicago is going to be a challenging opponent on Friday. Hopefully that challenge will bring out the best in the Eagles. https://igglesblitz.com/2025/11/eagles-blow-big/

One thing I noticed watching the game yesterday. We can get AJ Brown the ball a bunch of different ways. We have plays that work for Devonta, plays that work for Goedert. My question, why can't we do all of these things on the same drive. We started out early running the AJ play book, then moved on to Devonta, then Goedert later on. Why is it impossible to run all of these plays on the same drive? Unpopular opinion, Hurts is incapable of handling information overload, and he has to be focused on specific things to be successful.

Eagles' run game still non-existent in crushing loss to CowboysThe Eagles' rushing attack was missing again on Sunday in their 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.By Dave Zangaro • Published November 24, 2025 ARLINGTON, Texas — The Eagles still can’t run the ball. A year ago, Saquon Barkley rushed for 2,000 yards and the Eagles were able to impose their will on opposing defenses week in and week out. This year? Their run game has been almost non-existent. It didn’t show up again on Sunday in their crushing 24-21 loss to the Cowboys. "I wouldn’t say frustrated. More disappointed in myself,” Barkley said after the loss. "Not frustrated with anybody else. I’m a big believer that the run game starts with me and ends with me. I’m in a little funk right now. I’ve had funks like this before. Just gotta break it. The only way I know how is by flushing this, working my butt off and getting ready for my next opportunity.” Barkley on Sunday had just 10 carries for 22 yards. He also caught 7 passes for 52 yards but had a costly fumble in the second half. But is Saquon in a funk? "He’s not in a funk, man,” left tackle Jordan Mailata said. "He’s hard on himself. That’s the guy Saquon is. Good dude. One of the greatest dudes I’ve ever known. He’s just being hard on himself. It’s on all of us up front.” The Eagles on Sunday built a 21-point lead early in the second quarter and then took a 21-7 lead into halftime. The 2024 version of the Eagles would have run the ball down the Cowboys’ throat to kill clock and leave AT&T Stadium with a bully-ball win on the back of the Offensive Player of the Year. This team just isn’t capable of that right now. In total, the Eagles had just 63 rushing yards on Sunday afternoon. Barkley had 10 for 22, Jalen Hurts had 7 for 33 and Tank Bigsby had 1 for 8. "I’m not getting the run game going,” Barkley said. "I’m not getting yards. I’m tired of the excuse of people trying to stop our run game. I don’t really subscribe to that. It’s gotta be better. Gotta make plays.” A year after having an incredible run game, this year’s Eagles have struggled on the ground and have found that they can’t lean on that facet of their game the way they’d like. The Eagles have played in 11 games this season and have gone over 200 rushing yards just once. They did that in 8 of 17 games in the regular season last year. And Barkley has gone over 100 yards just once in these 11 games. Barkley, 28, now has 185 carries for 684 yards, an average of just 3.7 yards per pop this season. Those giant holes he had to run through in 2024 just aren’t there this season. "It’s not on Saquon,” Mailata said. "It’s on all of us. It’s on all of us. You can just watch the film. We always say we’re one block away and as tiring and as repetitive as that is, that is the truth. I’m tired of saying it. But it starts with us. We gotta do a better job of execution. Until we do that, the run game’s not going anywhere.” The Eagles had a two-touchdown lead going into the second half on Sunday and Barkley had just four rushing attempts in the second half. You could blame the coaching staff for not giving him the football. Or you could look at the situation and realize they felt like they had to pivot away from that attack because the Cowboys were shutting it down. "Anytime you’re one dimensional, that makes it tough,” head coach Nick Sirianni said. "I think we didn’t have the run game going again. When I say that, it’s on everybody. It’s on the coaching and it’s on the playing. In this game of football, it’s never just one thing. We’ve got to identify what it is and try to get better from it.” The Cowboys utilized more five-man fronts to thwart the run game. The Eagles attempted to throw them out of those looks but it never really worked. While the Eagles’ passing attack helped them build a lead, they didn’t score again after that third touchdown. It’s obvious that offensive line has not been healthy this season. The Eagles were without Lane Johnson (foot) on Sunday, while Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson have battled through their own injuries all season. Barkley on Sunday night said he is healthy. That’s notable because he led the NFL in carries and touches last season. And he also doesn’t think he’s pressing. "I’m not playing well,” Barkley said. "Just got to play better. That’s really it.” https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-run-game-cowboys-saquon-barkley-jordan-mailata-nick-sirianni/696966/

Oh yeah, that was a horrible play.

Yeah, I didn't mean it literally....obviously.

Maybe the silver lining is it builds some good will among future free agents, making this a place where someone can envision being appreciated. Not saying it was the right move.

Yup, this is why I said earlier this week that if they can get out of Dickerson's contract after this year, they should. He's a fantastic player and a warrior, but he's playing on borrowed time. His play at all cost mentality is something I respect, but it's also hurting the team. Same with Jurgens. The fact of the matter is they need cheap contracts on offense to offset the upcoming spending spree on defense. They need to get out of some of these inflated contracts on offense.

He was in a sling after the game so he’s likely gone one way or another

Dude but if they change play callers, the new guy might get real confused and struggle to get the plays called on time. Oh wait…

Yup, the biggest pass plays were Pickens just being a damn good WR and winning battles he's expected to win, and Michael Carter taking out his own guy letting Pickens get wide open. If the DB are healthy and Carter isn't in the game, that play is most likely covered. Instead, you have a backup player in a key spot taking out his own teammate.

Doesn’t just have to be a coach. Gipson should be gone. How is he still in the nfl?!

I can't remotely agree with any assessment that Hurts played pretty well in that game.

Hurts is far down on the list of players to blame because he did play a decent game, but he absolutely, 100% can NOT take that 3rd and 2 sack. We can question the play call, the routes run by the WR and the OL protection, but Hurts had outlets in Shipley and Goedert as well as a lane to take up up the middle (albeit a small one).

Eagles vs. Cowboys instant observations: In a trade of epic meltdowns, the Birds won – so they lost.Turnovers, penalties, and offensive dysfunction all contributed to the Eagles blowing a three-touchdown lead in a loss to the Cowboys. By Geoff Mosher PhillyVoice Staff Kevin Jairaj/Imagn Images Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni looks on before the game against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. For the first 15 or so minutes of the Eagles' big clash Sunday against their NFC East rivals, they looked every bit as dominant as the 8-2 record they carried into AT&T Stadium. The Eagles scored touchdowns on their first three possessions against the hapless Cowboys. A.J. Brown caught a touchdown, Jalen Hurts ran for two, and DeVonta Smith added some spectacular catches. The Cowboys dropped passes, fumbled twice, and committed fourth-down penalties that enabled their 21-point deficit. Then came the rest of the game, in which the Eagles looked more like the inconsistent team they've been all season – a bunch of three-and-outs, a bunch of penalties, no run game to stabilize the offense, and a pass rush that disappeared. By the fourth quarter, the Eagles hadn't scored any more points, while the Cowboys stopped shooting themselves in the foot and actually rallied back to tie the game on Dak Prescott's third touchdown. Then came a series of blunders for the Eagles, including two lost fumbles, that cleared the way for Dallas to march downfield against an injury-depleted Philly defense and win 24-21 on Brandon Aubrey's 42-yard field goal. The Cowboys nearly had the game won on the prior possession, but CeeDee Lamb's end zone drop on a ball put right in his wheelhouse, followed by a failed fourth-down attempt, put the ball back in the Eagles' hands. But the Birds' possession ended with Jalen Hurts taking a third-down sack to force a punt. They never got the ball back. The Eagles fell to 8-3 while the Cowboys won their second straight to get to 5-5-1. Let's take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly from this game: Good (bear with us here...).• Getting the ball to A.J. Brown early and often for the second straight week helped kick-start the offense, and this time it came in a more productive manner than just stop routes, hitches and comebacks. His 16-yard touchdown catch on a deep post was his longest catch since Week 8 against the Vikings. Brown led Eagles receivers in targets last Sunday against the Lions but averaged less than 8 yards per catch. This time, he went over 100 yards and averaged almost 14 yards per reception. • How good is DeVonta Smith? He's like Plastic Man and Megatron combined. I don't know how many receivers with his skinny frame make as many contested catches as he does, including the one like his 41-yarder on 3rd-and-long that resulted in Smith landing flat on his back. That couldn't have felt great. Did he come out for a break? No, he actually took a shovel pass on the very next snap for eight yards to set up a touchdown. Smith, who had to take a delayed flight to Dallas for personal reasons, finished with 89 yards and averaged almost 15 yards per catch. • The designed QB keeper once again led to positive results, as Jalen Hurts dialed his own number on a 2nd-and-7 on the second possession and straight up the gut for a touchdown, making sure to keep his knee off the turf as he barreled into the end zone. It's the third straight week the Eagles have gone to the keeper in a high-leverage situation, and it makes you wonder why it was kept in the playbook for the first eight weeks. He had another later in the game that maybe was designed but came against a slot corner blitz. Hurts eluded the tackle to get 9 yards. Unfortunately for the Eagles, this has become one of their most impactful rushing offensive plays. • Pass protection was generally good for Hurts, who was sacked just once and had plenty of time on most of his 39 attempts. The o-line is struggling to help the run game and had way too many penalties, but overall, pass protection for Hurts was once again a strong point. Even on that late sack, Hurts had enough time to drift around the pocket. Maybe nobody was open, but that wasn't a pass pro breakdown. • Add Javonte Williams to the list of running backs that Nakobe Dean has blown up over the past three weeks, along with Josh Jacobs and David Montgomery. Dean came on a SIM pressure in the third quarter on Dallas' opening drive, bull-rushing Williams back before shedding Williams to sack Dak Prescott for a 7-yard loss on third down. It's a feather in the cap to Dean that the offense can pick up his blitz and still can't stop the fourth-year linebacker from drilling the quarterback. Bad • It feels pretty safe by now to say the Eagles just aren't going to reprise the lethal run game that carried them to a Super Bowl last year. They've tried some different things – under center, jumbo packages, 12 and 13 personnel. Nothing is working. The o-line just isn't opening massive holes, and Barkley continues to have far more runs of minimal yardage or stuffed runs than productive runs. Somehow, the Eagles have covered up this flaw, but it's probably time to do away with any hope that the run game will be the foundation of their offense. • Like we've seen all season, a red-hot Eagles offense went ice cold. After the 21-0 lead, the Eagles punted on four straight possessions from the second to the fourth, with two three-and-outs in there. Then came the weird stuff – a missed Jake Elliott field goal, followed by a rare Saquon Barkley fumble. They closed the game without scoring for about 42 minutes. The last two will get plenty of attention this week, but it shouldn't dwarf the fact that the Eagles once again showed no ability to sustain their offense after another hot start. After converting four of their first five third downs, the Eagles finished 5-of-12, which. means they went 1-for-7 the rest of the game. • Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's four-man rush wasn't as impactful against a good Cowboys offensive line as it had been recently. Most of the Cowboys' deficiencies early in the game were the result of self-inflicted wounds, not a suffocating Eagles pass rush. In the second quarter, Dak Prescott capitalized on a good pocket and moved the ball efficiently, finally getting the ball into the end zone before halftime. His sudden ability to move the ball carried into the second half as Dallas scored 17 unanswered points. Three different Cowboys receivers had receptions of 43+ yards. • Adoree' Jackson got picked on in the season opener against Dallas, and was fortunate that some passes that night were dropped. The Cowboys went after him again and hit on some impactful plays, including George Pickens' touchdown right before halftime, and kept it up until he left with an injury. Which led to ... • For the first time, Cooper DeJean saw significant outside cornerback reps, in place of Jackson. It didn't go well. He was on the wrong side of several Dak Prescott connections, including a 48-yarder by Lamb that came with a pass interference that was declined. It had been a while since CB2 on the Eagles was exploited, but when it came, it really stood out. Ugly • Holy penalties! The Eagles were flagged 14 times for 96 yards, and three of the starting five o-linemen were each flagged – at some critical times. If turnovers were the Eagles' biggest culprit, penalties were a close second. The Eagles have been hurt by flags over the past few weeks, but this was their worst. Fred Johnson and Matt Pryor, the two fill-ins, each had really bad penalties in the second half that put the offense behind the sticks. • Brace yourself for the injury report in a short turnaround week before Friday's "Black Friday" game against the Cowboys. Adoree' Jackson, Reed Blankenship and Moro Ojomo each left from injuries, and later in the game Quinyon Mitchell went down. The Eagles won't have much time to lick wounds this week. https://www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-vs-cowboys-instant-observations-nfc-east-nfl-week-12-jalen-hurts-dak-prescott-aj-brown-ceedee-lamb-analysis/
