Nothing could go wrong there.Joyner was a helluva player, but he’s such a bad analyst.Agreed..the way the Eagles have been running the ball, you run on 3rd and 2 and you are at 4th and 4! I'm normally an optimist and pretty positive guy...but man that absolutely sucked yesterday.
3 hours ago3 hr Tank Bigsby had 3 snaps. He had 8 yards on 1 carry. What the hell are they even looking at?Jahan Dotson had 34 snaps and 1 target. 0 catches. Cam Latu played 3 snaps. He needs to be on the field more.Jaelen Phillips played 59 snaps and didn't record a single stat. Honeymoon is over, maybe the extension won't be as expensive.Nolan Smith had a pretty quiet 40 snaps too. Jihaad Campbell only played 11 snaps compared to Nakobe Dean's 62. I know it's going to be tough, but Dean has to come back.

The offense sucked, the penalties started compounding (including both of these terrible calls) and the defense started losing guys.No one is talking about the 12 men penalty that negated a pick either. Or baun dropping one that hit Him in the hands
3 hours ago3 hr Final Cowboys Second Game Score Prediction ResultsWell that sucked! Many of the talking heads on network shows picked the Cowboys Offense to wear down the Eagles Defense. It turned out that they were right. With that said, here are the week's prediction results. A total of 62 predictions were recorded with 16 for a Cowboys win and 46 for an Eagles win.@RLC's prediction of a Cowboys 26-20 win was the closest, and wins the chicken dinner.It was a lean week for Bonus picks. Only four were correct or close to correct@RLC doubled up his wins for the week with "Offense sputters while defense shows that they're human. Everyone panics."@Jeep_man was correct with "This game worries me, Dak always saves the best for the Eagles"@mikemack8 had "Today is a scheduled loss I think unfortunately, and the officials will 100% find any way they can to help Dallas win at home" There certainly were a lot of penalties, but to my eyes, the Eagles earned most of them, so mike was half correct, if not completely correct. Thoughts?@DrPhilly got the second half right with "Hurts is sacked 4 or more times and has over 33 pass attempts"Two more Bonus predictions deserve to be mentioned@Eagles1960's "The next Eagles game they lose because of a lousy offensive effort there will be blood and some type of change" remains to be seen whether there will be any change.@Casey @ Bat's "Adoree Jackson struggles. I really hope I’m wrong" possibly was right. The Cowboys leading receivers were Ying and Yang. Perkins was spectacular with 9 catches on 9 targets, while Lamb was pretty bad with only 4 catches on 11 targets. I'm not sure how Adoree's performance matches up with those results. Thoughts?In the first eleven weeks the closest predictors have been@Freshmilk and @Bwestbrook36 in Week One's 72 predictions@just relax in Week Two's 55 predictions@Diehardfan in Week Three's 56 predictions@Screaminbeagle in Week Four's 61 predictions@Walkdawalk in Week Five's 59 predictions@Giggity_goo in Week Six's 50 predictions@kiwieagle and @Diehardfan in Week Seven's 52 predictions@McMVP in Week Eight's 50 predictions@b_west3 in Week Ten's 54 predictions@Talkingbirds in Week Eleven's 56 predictions@RLC in Week Twelve's 62 predictionsHere is the final list of the predictions and bonuses:
3 hours ago3 hr 7 hours ago, ManuManu said:I had forgotten about that Cam Jurgens "head turned too quickly” false start. My goodness.What I keep thinking of while watching our entire OL jerk around 7 times before the snap:Our entire offensive operation is a complete joke.
3 hours ago3 hr Jihaad Campell: 8 games started-53 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 QB hit, 1 INT, 1 FF, 2 PDNakobe Dean: 4 games started- 26 tackles, 4 TFL, 4 QB hits, 3 sacks, 1 FF.I don't want to replace Campbell with Dean in the future, I want them to be a tandem. Their games are so different. Campbell covering with Dean playing behind the LOS would be lethal.

3 hours ago3 hr I know hindsight is 20/20, but was giving Saquon Barkley a new contract after 1 season a careless move? Howie nickeled and dimed to not keep important pieces like Becton and Rodgers and paid a 28 year old RB who JUST got paid the year prior. I know the OL is half the issue this year, but was Saquon unhappy with the deal he signed? It's great to reward players for achievements, but he's such a team guy I think he would have understood if other guys got paid.
3 hours ago3 hr Nick has been inexplicably horrible at end of half and end of game situations the past three weeks. It should have cost them the Green Bay and Detroit games. It probably makes the Detroit game come down until the end if they didn’t get bailed out by that terrible PI call they called for AJ.And then yesterday just camping before half with two timeouts instead of getting aggressive and calling a timeout with 45 seconds left against a QB who has been notorious for late game clock mismanagement.

I was on board with some kind of adjustment, but not major money.
3 hours ago3 hr O line keeps saying the defense shows different looks. Are they not coached to handle that?
3 hours ago3 hr 13 minutes ago, ToastJenkins said:No one is talking about the 12 men penalty that negated a pick either. Or baun dropping one that hit Him in the handsDak sped up the count to get the 12 man, it was a known free play - the boys had a penalty too so missed out on the yardage. Baun would’ve caught that last season, just not his year in the turnover department.
3 hours ago3 hr 11 minutes ago, ManuManu said:I don’t think anyone is talking about the 12 men on the field penalty because Dak knew it was a free play.I read somewhere this morning that penalty was wrong anyway, the Cowboys ran on an offensive sub and the refs should have held the snap for 10 seconds to allow us to sub too, instead the Cowboys snapped it after 4 seconds, that's why we didn't look set and had 12 on the field.

No idea if the Cowboys actually substituted or not, and I don't think the ref knew either.The refs were 100% looking for penalties to call on the Eagles. No one can convince me otherwise.Too bad the Eagles gave them plenty of opportunities to do so. Our coaching sucks, period.
3 hours ago3 hr Felt this Cowboys game coming all week. Dallas treats us like their SB + our offense refuses to take accountability. Our defense is good enough to beat *any* team, but the offense needs a mind-shift change and to cut Jalen loose. The only way forward is to throw, throw, throw with legitimate NFL concepts 19 minutes ago, mattwill said:Final Cowboys Second Game Score Prediction ResultsWell that sucked!

3 hours ago3 hr 3 minutes ago, NOTW said:O line keeps saying the defense shows different looks. Are they not coached to handle that?We’ve had to shuffle a lot of guys in along the OL. Even guys like Jurgens or Dickerson are probably trying to find consistency, and then we have to plug and play Fred or insert Pryor at TW. Long story short, the lack continuity means that this OL group hasn’t mastered the basics - so wrinkles will be disruptive.

He's got some wistful notion about being super tough and just playing through it when in reality half of our OL can't even move right now. The inside of our OL is an absolute sieve
3 hours ago3 hr The Rams schedule is super easy the rest of the way with the exception of the Detroit game. Eagles are going to have to win out to have any shot at the 1 seed.
3 hours ago3 hr The day after always provides a bit of perspective. Lots to look into. Overall both Hurts and the D played pretty well though not great. Ultimately, the lack of a running game, the penalties, and the mistakes killed us. Too many to discuss.From a long term perspective, we aren't going to win many games with a lead back getting 22 yards on 10 carries. The OL simply cannot run block. We've seen it all year and it is BY FAR the biggest problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there is any hope of getting it fixed this year.

The only way forward is to throw, throw, throw with legitimate NFL conceptsDak has given this team fits for a while now, especially when playing at their spot. He elevates his play in almost every matchup and carves them. He’s not the same quarterback that most view him as in those games. It’s probably why I think he’s better than he gets credit for because there’s just too much scarring there for me watching him go on runs where he completes 80% of his passes.
2 hours ago2 hr Dont want to hear short week as an excuse to not name a new play caller. They are fairly likely to lose regardless. Tough to come back from such a disaster in just a few days. Little time for fixes. No time for certain guys to heal up. Like Jackson's concussion- no chance hes back. Mukuba in a walking boot- nearly 0% chance for him to play too. OL has not recover time...Its as good a time as any to make the change. In fact, its basically the one thing that can help next week more than anything else. As better play calling can cause an immediate improvement. Theres really nothing else they can do to provide such an immediate impact.Finally, IF and its a big IF they win, then the opportunity to change probably passes. Another game later in the season, coming off a win, closer to chasing that 1 seed... theyre not gonna do it if they beat the Bears.Do it now.
