Eagles 27 Cowboys 21. Hurts has 100yds rushing.  Defense has fumble recovery and INT off of Dak.

Dallas 38

Birds 21

 

4 total team turnovers. 

The best way to avoid 3rd down is to be good on 1st down. Hurts/AJ have bailed us out a lot.

We're not running the ball well, which also hurts.

To BJ this translates to: Run inside zones with Gainwell on 1st downs.

I honestly think this is the game where AJ gets too much attention along with Smith, run the ball down their throats and then hit Goedert down the seams.

Kind of think they’d be closer to 4-4 tbh. Feel like both commanders games without him are likely losses. And rams game to me is a toss up without him. He had some huge plays in that game

Close to 4-4 vs 5-3?  Seems the same to me.  Obviously everything in each game is completely different without Brown on the roster.   

But, this is a really really good roster even without Brown, and they'd have more options without him, including the first round pick traded for him... and the contract he signed.    The offense would work differently, they might have brought in Julio sooner... would have more money to have signed other players offensively or defensively.  Long story short, this team would still be in the Super Bowl contention, just maybe not among the favorites.

Subtract Brown add Reagor and we’re 8-0 

I can agree to that.

The Sunday game vs. Cowboys is on most of the country.  We are the unlucky few who are in the Giants territory and won't get the game!  What option do I have to watch the game?

Move out of that sesspool.  And fast.

Nope.  He's a headache as much as he's talented.

Make it happen Howie.  He can replace Quez.......or Oz.

We were concerned that AJ and Davonta wouldn't get enough targets to satisfy both... then we added Julio Jones.  And you now suggest that they should add another guy who is already upset about his targets... despite winning that game and getting to 5-3?   

Tell me how to sabotage the team without telling me.

Specifically run it at Parsons

You beat Parsons two ways... power and making him think.   The ROs and RPOs directed at him, just as Doug did with Von Miller back in 2017.  And you just run at him like crazy.  Make him set the edge... make him take on a puller.   Make him stop Lane Johnson from bullying him.

Try the FoxSports app on your phone.

I also have been able to use https://fbstreams.pm/  You have to work around the popup windows though.  I have found that "Open Link in New Window" provides a work around that deals with the popups.  Once I get it on my computer screen I cast it to my TV.

I think that would be particularly true given the presence of both AJ and DeVonta here.  Splitting up targets with those three would be a guaranteed conflict, especially when you add in Goedert's targets.

Thanks forgot to tag him.

@mattwill

Birds 31-17

The Boys will try to spread it out and thin out our back seven, they will fail and Dak will be thrown to the ground. Turpin TD, Reddick 2 sacks.

It will be harder to beat Parsons with RPOs this time around…they are moving him around more and they also use more stunts than any other D.  
 

Just run the ball down their throat

It would be very embarrassing if Dallas were on the field alone.

Dak would still throw an interception

I routinely hope for this kind of opening game plan, but the Eagles are a throw first team. 

There is a bye week next week. 

Empty the Jalen Carter and Swift clips.

Absolutely. This is what you've been saving folks for. 

My unpopular, bi-annual reminder for Dallas week: apathy is more insulting and humiliating than hatred.  The Dallas Cowboys deserve your apathy.  Invoke eminent domain over their decades long rent free real estate in your heads.

The RO exposes Hurts to hits. Given his acknowledged knee issue, that’s out. The RPO attacks players with dual responsibilities - run and pass. That’s LBs and safeties. That leave Parsons out. I have no problems with the idea of blocking him, which is easier said than done.

We did run a couple of RPOs last week.

- The TD to Julio was an RPO

- RPO to AJ

But I 100% agree with your premise. RPOs should be "pick your spots". 

This is the type of game I wish we ran more under-center stuff. Easier to just use gap-schemes and run over whichever side Micah is on (and also to avoid Lawrence). Since we don't do that, I hope we keep running more pistol.
