Please tell me the other players that I do not like ??

I gave you a concise explanation of why I think they lose to the Panthers, based on the games on either side.  I made that exact same statement before the season began.  You can not look at games in a bubble, you have to look at the flow of the schedule.  Teams get caught looking ahead and lose all the time.   Teams are deflated after an embarrassing loss and lose all the time.  A good example of this, Joe Webb. We came off the huge win against the Giants and then let down against a team with Joe Webb at QB.

Finishing up, if my opinion is completely irrelevant, why do you keep responding to it ??

 

You seem to really dislike any player that Howie has drafted since he took back over for Chip.  

You didn't give an "concise explanation".  You said it is going to be a trap game as if this team will be in any position to be overlooking anyone.  At best they will be 2-2 coming off a loss, in all likelihood they will be 1-3 coming off of 3 straight losses.  What will the Eagles be looking forward to past the Panthers for in that situation?  Looking forward to getting blown out by the Bucs?  Makes no sense.  

Eagles lost to Joe Webb coming off coming off a highly emotional comeback win over the Giants that essentially put them in the drivers seat of the division.  They were also on a 3 game win streak holding a 10-4 record.  

Now you're going to argue that your opinion isn't completely irrelevant after you flipped out about you have no effect on the games?

Dallas hasn't been a 'bear' in a quarter century... much more a paper tiger.

That Paper tiger has beaten the Eagles 5 out of the last 7 games. No need for this.

Again the point is he’s missed every round

 

That's a separate point than your original point that it's a big disappointment to you that a 2nd year 4th round draft pick hasn't supplanted an established veteran who is also a captain on the team as the starter.  Because that flat-out just isn't a realistic expectation to have had for Wallace this season.

Former coach and the Chiefs the week before, and the Super Bowl champions the week after.  Those two opponents will distract from the focus they should have on the Panthers.   Maybe they will just lose because they are not the better team.

Your point?   The Cowboys are talked up annually about being 'contenders'.  They are pretenders.  What their record is against the Eagles is irrelevant in the last however many meetings you want to focus on.  The Cowboys are overrated, and have been for decades.  

 

No need for what?   Calling the Cowboys out for being overrated... as they have been for years and years?  .

Who was the QB in those wins ??  Who was the QB in the last 4 wins over the Cowboys ??

You obviously do not remember end of last season when that same team led by Andy Dalton smashed us.

I do.  The Eagles sucked last year.  4 wins.  What does that have to do with the Cowboys being overrated constantly?   They are not a 'bear' in the NFL, and haven't been in 25 years.   If they win this game, that won't change.

At least one of those wins sent those losers home for the playoffs. Lol

Well let’s use logic. If Dallas is overrated and have been for decades but Dallas has won 5 of the last 7 and also have a 70-54 lead all time what does that make the Eagles? 
 

I love being an Eagles fan but just saying Dallas Sucks isn’t enough for me. I don’t talk trash when I’m losing. 

Sirianni’s shirt couldn’t possibly matter less. Win or lose.

It's an expression, and you are taking it to the extreme of the definition.  Why give them anything as a rallying cry.  Just do your work, and come out and execute.  The whole thing is unnecessary.   If they win 35-10, people are gonna blame it on Sirianni for his silly shirts ??

This what I have so far. Going to be off the grid most of tomorrow fishing but keep making predictions. The extra day on Sunday should help me catch up for Monday night. 

@LeanMeanGM bold prediction: they show Jerry jones more than Mike McCarthy’s lazy eye on MNF 

Also forgot my prediction. 
 

Eagles: pain

cowboys: more misery

Don't know why he chose to poke the bear.  They went toe to toe with the Super Bowl champs two weeks ago, and cost themselves the win more than Tampa beat them.  

I don't know about toe to toe. A few more catches or better throws by Brady to wide open guys, they would of dropped 50 on the Cowboys. Now they have significant injuries and suspensions. 

Also his T-shirt says beat Dallas so I'm pretty sure the cowboys know that's our intentions. Now if he guaranteed it sure then I would be ripping on Nick.

Let's use logic... they are overrated every year by the national media... they are shoved down our throats every year in National TV games, including this year in the kickoff game matched up against the Super Bowl champs, even though they didn't make the playoffs and were a sub-0.500 team last year.   They are overrated.  

Being a paper tiger doesn't mean anything about them just in relation to the Eagles, but across the NFL.  There are about 4 NFL teams with a worse playoff record over the last 25 years than the Dallas Cowboys.  FOUR.

 

But, if you want to make it about the Eagles vs. Cowboys... let's do it.

Only 4 teams worse than the Cowboys in Playoffs wins since 2000.
Only 5 teams better than the Eagles in Playoff wins since 2000. 

 

The Cowboys are paper tigers.   They get talked up all the time, but when time to shine comes, they shrink.

Former coach.  How many players on this team is he the former coach to?  Graham, Cox & Kelce?  Is there anyone else that is still around from Reid?  And Graham isn't even playing.

The Chiefs the week before really has no relevance whatsoever to the Eagles preparation for the Panthers game other than they will be preparing for a game with some desperation coming off of at least one loss or maybe even possibly 3 straight losses.  Which again points out why the Eagles will be in no position to overlook the Panthers and look ahead to the Bucs.  The only scenario where the Eagles would potentially be looking ahead of the Panthers and getting distracted by an upcoming game against he Bucs if the very unlikely scenario where the Eagles beat Dallas on Monday night and then beat the Chiefs the following Sunday and then head into Carolina 3-1 coming off of two upsets, one being monumental if they beat the Chiefs.

It is an expression.  I'm not taking it to anything.  The facts also line up with the fact that Dallas actually does suck.  And over the past 25 years, that's undisputed.  (See what I did there? . ) 

 

If the Cowboys win 35-10 and people blame it on Siranni's shirt... I wouldn't be surprised.  A lot of people say a lot of stupid things.   I've read that the Eagles lost last week because they didn't line up Mailata at FB last week.  But this week, we can use Lane Johnson there instead, since Mailata is down.  

 

The shirts don't matter.

You really didn't.  Because the drafting in the other rounds has nothing at all to do with your wildly unrealistic expectations that you apparently had for a 2nd year 4th round draft pick to supplant as the starter an established veteran who is a captain on this team.

My king. 

We should start a trend of play action run. I'm not talking about a delayed hand off either.

I want to see Hurts drop back and go through all his reads ( hopefully more then 1) then fake.throw it to all of them and then boom hand it off like 25 seconds later!
