Were the Eagles sandbagging?

JRock will actually say no (to a point).....not only did they have a bye week to gain they were also playing for the NFL East title.

I think the Eagles came out, got punched in the mouth, couldn't respond and decided to lay low to fight another day and not give away any gameplan after it was obvious they were not the better team on that field.

I don't think they had any intention of sandbagging and Dallas just kicked their a$$ from the beginning.

I think you will see a much more complex gameplan on both sides of the ball on Sunday, but the Cowboys are the better team. Doesn't matter though, it is Cowboys vs. Eagles and the Eagles will come ready to play. If the Cowboys get up early again, we are in trouble. I just wish we still had Dawkins for moments like this.

Go Birds!

Should be a much closer game this weekend, and while the Cowboys do seem to be playing better football, the Eagle have the experience, for the most part.

I am a little nervous about the Eagles' young WR's, and if Westbrook can be close to 100%.

Losing the starting center right before playoffs doesn't help either. Plus if you ask me we have been over achieving since losing our #1 and #2 MLB and rotating people in and out all year. That and not having 3/5ths of our offensive line almost all year. It really is amazing how much they have been able to accomplish. We are hurting in the trenches and that is where playoff games are won.

Doesn't matter though...it's put up or shut up time and these are the hated Cowboys. I think we have a decent chance to win because I will take an Andy Reid coached team over a Wade Phillips coached team in the playoffs any day. I think Andy Reid is 7-0 in first round payoff games but I could be wrong.

I miss the old days when the Cowboys actually had people on the team that I wanted to get hit by a bus like Michael Irvin. Yeah, I cheered when the Eagles ended his career at the Vet.......now it is just sports hate for the players which isn't nearly as fun.

Not sure I could handle hearing sh*t from their fans for the next year if they do beat us. Especially from Cowboy fans that don't live in, or have never been to Dallas...they are the worst.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
