It was nice to see the team rest in the 4th quarter while Washington had to play a very physical Pittsburgh team. Could be a huge advantage on only 4 days rest. 

YAY!!!!!!!

Here we go!  Let’s hear the excuses of the ‘pukes: good-but-not-great-win-you-beat -backup-qbs!  Don’t care, as long as it’s hated division rival organization, this games has always been a grinder.  Not today,  we know the opponent was wounded & old fashioned butt-whoopin 🦅

 

Jerry Jones is crazy for this, It think both teams missed some passes because of it.

Once the sun went down so did the Cowboys. This defense really is hitting on all cylinders. Getting out of Dallas with a win so convincing that they can rest guys for Thursday. This is what good teams do to bad teams. 

Sirianni took the points in this one.

Their previous stadium ALSO had sun glare problems. Jerry Jones loves him some poor stadium design. 

Kind of crazy that I’ve gone from hating a team from Texas to hoping a team from Texas wins. 😂

Man I can't remember the last Dallas game that was as easy as that.

That stadium is an awful design for games at this time at this time of year, the sun shining through the windows affected both teams. 

Fair play to Vic Fangio, his defense was rough to watch the first few games but they look among the best in the league now. We're fun to watch when all the offensive pieces are in there. 

The Washington game will be interesting, I think they're good but maybe not as good as their record suggests. Roll on Thursday. 

2017 in Dallas when we also won by 28p. Remember 2017?????

This defense held Cooper Rush to 45 yards through 3 full quarters.    That might be one of the worst QB performances I've ever seen.  It's probably our best Defensive Performance of the year.  

 

Hurts haters gonna hate even when he gets praise.  QB1 for years to come

 

Even with that interception, Hurts was terrific Sunday, once again. The INT was just a really good play by Trevon Diggs, but Hurts was nearly perfect after it, and that’s what you get from Hurts. Every quarterback is going to go through some adversity, it’s the nature of the position, but Hurts is so good at shrugging that stuff off and going back out there and playing smart, aggressive and efficient, and we saw that Sunday. His first pass after the INT was a 27-yarder to Jahan Dotson. Shrug it off. Hurts finished 14-for-20 for 202 yards, two passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns and a 115.0 passer rating. He’s only the sixth quarterback in history with five consecutive games at 115 or higher, a list that also includes Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan and Patrick Mahomes. And four straight games at 70 percent or higher. And then there was 7-for-56 rushing, including a dynamic 24-yard scramble on that huge TD drive before halftime. Hurts isn’t being asked to do a lot right now, but what he’s doing, he’s doing at a very high level ... even with that interception and fumble.

"Television replays caught Lamb pointing at his eyes, as if he lost the ball in the sun.

Would Lamb be in favor of curtains?

"Yes," he said. "1,000 percent."

Will he bring it up to Jones?

"I mean y'all are doing my job right now," Lamb said.

It might not matter since Jones has been dug in on the matter since the stadium opened in 2009.“

Fans can downplay the sun and its effect on this game if you would like to, but even the Cowboys had some difficulty due to it and it’s their stadium! I don’t think it was a coincidence that once the sun went down, the Eagles clobbered this team in the third and were playing backups early in the 4th.

Why 44-6 specifically? 

It occurred to me (while watching "Top Gun"), that maybe you weren't watching the Eagles when 44-6 happened. Do you know that game?

We went into the final game of the 2008 season at 8-6-1. We needed the 7-8 Texans to defeat the 9-6 Bears and the 5-10 Raiders to beat the 9-6 Buccaneers on the road, then we needed to beat the Cowboys (at the Linc). Winner of the game, would go to the playoffs. 

It was also (if I'm not mistaken), Dawk's final game as an Eagle at the Linc. 

 

 

If you've never seen the movie "Silver Linings Playbook", the Eagles and 44-6 play a role in the movie.

I think Washington is as good as the best of em. This is definitely our toughest game on paper.

This game could decide the division. Short week, tough opponent and the same division record. There are a bunch of games to be played, but this will be critical for seeding

My goodness in the current NFL the Eagles held the Cowboys quarterbacks combined to under 50 yards passing! Friggin insane.

But Fangio just plays soft zone all the time and never blitzes!

Since Cooper DeJean was inserted into this defense everyone has looked so much better. Two playmaking linebackers. They’re blitzing. Fangio has these guys on fire.

Both rookies have been amazing so far. They also have a really young core, these guys will just keep getting better as a unit.

Jalen Carter has been a game wrecker in the middle. The bulldogs are doing their thing. This defense just feels like they have playmakers on all levels. When was the last time we could say that about an Eagles defense? It’s been beyond dominating.

Yeah I’ve seen silver lining playbook once but a fair few years ago. I know it leans heavily in to the Eagles but perhaps the 44-6 game in that movie was missed on me at the time. 

Thanks for sharing though as no I wasn’t a fan in 2008, little bit too early for me.

They have completely rebuilt the D while still adding to the offense.

You look at the guys they had on defense when they went to the SB and had that year with a crazy amount of sacks. The line consisted of Sweat, BG, Hargrave, Cox, Reddick and they added guys like Joseph, Quinn and Suh through the season. Williams and Davis were in years 1 and 2. The current line is not on the same level as a collective, but they are still a few years away from their prime and have been getting better as the season goes on.

At LB'er you had White and Edwards, losing Edwards hurt but Howie has managed to bring in Baun on a bargain basement deal and he drafted Dean in 2022 who is starting to come into his own.

At DB you had Slay, Bradberry Maddox, Epps and CJGJ. Blankenship was a rookie and they let CJGJ go before bringing him back. You now have the rookies back there in place of Bradberry and Maddox. Add in Rodgers/Ringo for when Slay goes down compared to McPherson/Scott.

Is there an argument to say this D is perhaps better overall than the 2022 D? The DL definitely isn’t as good but then it is getting better. And the secondary I think is much better. And in a passing league that may give them the edge on the 2022 version.

After I left the computer, it occurred to me that that might be the case, I think I remembered you saying that you began watching the Eagles around 2010? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else, not sure. 

In the movie, they find out about the 44-6 game at the dance contest (near the end of the movie). 

 

Oh, and I forgot to mention, that all of the things that were needed to happen on that final week of the season in 2008, happened. We ended up losing in the NFCCG to the Cardinals

Cee Dee complained that he couldn't see on on the TD pass from Cooper that he missed.   Jerry came out and defended the Stadium and "Sunlight" issues.    Keep doubling down Jerry.  Your own team is telling you it's a problem.  I'm not trying to give Jalen a pass, he definitely could have played better that 1st Qtr but the Sun clearly impacted his vision and he was holding on to the ball a lot probably because he couldn't see.  Once the Sun went down, he lit up the Cowboys and made history in the process.
