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.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
