I noticed that when looking back at the replay. On the Eagles very last possession with a minute to go, on the second and eight run that Swift took outside for a yard or two, the Cowboys defensive tackle had his hand in the neutral zone. Instead of almost butt-fumbling the ball away on third and seven, we could have been Hurts sneaking on second and third and short. We're probably converting and we don't all have panic attacks on a subsequent Cowboys drive.

Refs were weird in this game. Weird crew.

In the first half on the 3 and out on i believe 3rd down, steen whiffed and blocked no one and the eagles had a great play set up against the cowboys if he did. 

Rookie going to rookie I guess.

On the false start penalty on Kelce, it looked to me like he was trying to sucker the Dallas DL witha tiny flicker of movement, but got caught.

Just watched the first drive. Ugh! On a trap play he blocked...nobody. On a simple inside zone he whiffed completely. He also whiffed in pass pro against Parsons - not a delayed blitz; Parsons lined up in a three-point stance and blew past his inside shoulder. Hurts got the throw off and completed it but no thanks to Steen. When I get a chance I'll look at more, though I'll probably wait for the all-22.

I'll look forward to it.

Hurts wasn't sacked 5 times @mattwill

So... not a great showing it seems.   But he did recover the fumble at the end, which might have saved the game.

Week Nine Prediction results

Last week everybody's predictions were far from the actual score.  This week was the opposite.  @Uscg-green with a prediction of 27-23 was the closest ... only one point from the actual score, so he gets the Chicken Dinner.  Honorable Mentions go to @pgcd3 whose 28-21 prediction was only 2 points off, and also at 2 points was @Westbrook#36 with his 27-24. At 3 points off were @Parrot Head (30-24)  @garingovt2000 (29-25) @Talkingbirds (27-21) and @RememberTheKoy (26-24)

So, for the first nine games the chicken dinner has gone to:
@Alphagrand in Week One where the 66 recorded predictions were 65 for an Eagles win and 1 for a Patriots win
@Iggles25 and @bbabraham in Week Two where the 71 recorded predictions were 56 for an Eagles win and 15 for a Vikings win
@Cliftoma in Week Three where the 77 recorded predictions were 73 for an Eagles win and 4 for a Buccaneers win
@Casey @ Bat in Week Four where the 75 recorded predictions were 72 for an Eagles win and 3 for a Commanders win
@Mike030270 and @Texas Eagle in Week Five where the 78 recorded predictions were 63 for an Eagles win and 15 for a Rams win

@jwill2420 and @mattwill in Week Seven where the 76 recorded predictions were 46 for an Eagles win and 30 for a Dolphins win
@Mortimer in Week Eight where the 70 recorded predictions were 66 for an Eagles win and 4 for a Commanders win, and
@Uscg-green in Week Nine where the 77 recorded predictions were 64 for an Eagles win and 13 for a Cowboys win.

The Bonus pick results this week had the following winners:

@Godfather with "Dak eats Carters D on a sack"
@hputenis with "Cowboys have at least 1 TD called back because they commit a stupid penalty"
@TEW with "Zero Eagles turnovers"
@BigEFly with "Sweat with a sack"
@aptosbird with "Whoever scores first wins"
@Saltpeter with "Hurts gets sacked 5+ times"
@devpool with "Defense gets 3 sacks"
@Captain F with "AJ Brown streak of 125+ ends"
@FranklinFldEBUpper with "Cowboys convert on a 3rd (or 4th) and 12 or longer" (3rd and 14 in the 2nd Quarter)

Honorable Mention goes to @kiwieagle who got the first half of his prediction right "AJ Brown's streak of 125 yards/gm is broken as Devonte' out gains AJ "
And an "in the right spirit" award to @jamiller for "Kenny G with a 20+ yard screen for a TD baby"

The 77 predictions were as follows:
 

I got the lead changes prediction part correct.  

Eagles lead - Tie - Dallas lead - Tie - Dallas lead - Eagles lead

My bad, Dak was.  I read it wrong.

Anyone think Howie is looking to sign any reinforcements during this 2 week break to practice squad? Like to see Suh, slot cornerback like Bryce Callahan added. Maybe a tight end. Where's Richard Rogers? Lol. Always seemed to make a play here for some reason. All vets on board for championship run here and an 8-1 record puts us in front of the line for any of these ring chasers. Can never have enough depth. Injuries have been the story this year. 

Running back my profile pic to troll Dem Boyz after that one 🤣

 

Snap counts

Surprised that they didnt use Milton Williams more as much as the Cowboys passed.  A little too much Cox (no pun intended).  I think we should bring back Suh on the bye week.  They aren't using Tuipulotu.  I think Suh offers more on the roster.

I didn't look ahead if it was mentioned before the game he was going to be there but Penny was a huge surprise lol

Low snap counts for Davis and Williams indicate they were banged up. Peeps gotta to realize we were playing on fumes yesterday and still won. And a BIG YES on Suh. Huuuuge win in big pic.

Penny... 2 snaps, 2 carries on the first 2 plays of the 2nd half.   Some weird #2 obsession, then he disappeared again.   So, the question is WHY?  Why did he get the first two snaps of the 2nd half (and look decent) and then disappear forever again?  

Their usage of Penny (or non-usage) continues to be beyond baffling.

cowboy fans whining about refs ?  the cowboys were able to line up offsides at least 10 times ... the refs did call them 1 time ... next play offsides again no call 

I would also point out how the refs on the field miss a touchdown call plus Dak's sideline call ... i thought they has a ref watching the sideline and goal line ... both easy calls missed 

good thing there is instant replay and visual evidence ... in the end it probably equaled out .. refs sucked on both sides... your NFL .. same crap consistently

My theory is they are saving certain vets on this team for end of year. Particularly Penny and Brandon Graham. Think they better rein it in with Cox and Cunningham. Both are playing way above expectations, in snaps and performance.

We’ve gotta figure out this pass defense.

I don't watch as many non-Eagles games anymore, so I'd never seen that crew before (at least not the head ref).  They were quite bad.  The worst part for me, in addition to those you pointed out (thank goodness for replay reviews) was the Dak 4th down sneak where they didn't even bother to measure.  I really don't think he made any gain at all on that play.  They figured they were enforcing that personal foul call to Byard (which was a horrid call on its own) regardless, so it didn't matter

This is a good point -- we all remember this team's amazing ability to lose the game going into the bye under AR. Dallas had its bye, was healthy across the board, and played about as well as they could. We were beat up all over the place, playing our 9th week in a row and our QB was hurt.

And we still won.

The sneak infuriated me. I will go to my grave (hopefully not anytime soon) convinced he didn't get it and the linesman running in was spotting him short. Then they called the penalty and thought it didn't matter. 100% the refs didn't apply the rules properly.

Kind of hoping this is the low ebb for the D… get healthier along the DL, cycle out the rookie DBs for vets, gel the back 7 with a consistent lineup and get some help in the 4th quarter from the O.
