Week 1 game thread

[Mr B]

Dak outsmarted him, mostly. He spat on the ground, he laughed in Carter's face, didn't flinch or have any visible reaction upon being spat on, gets guy ejected. 10/10 bait from Dak, didn't think he had that in him.

If Carter is suspended another game it will be ridiculous.

$50K fine and move on.

I don't like how Dak smiled pre game and did his whole charade.

He technically already served a one game suspension since it was literally before he even played a single down. Only difference is I don’t think he will lose a game check because he was active for the game. For this reason, I think just giving him a really big fine makes sense but I can also see the NFL making an example out of him.


The guy that hit CJGJs helmet off last year wasn’t suspended or fined, so we will see.

That wasn’t a suspension, it was an ejection. He just happened to be dumb enough to get ejected 6 seconds into the game. Lol

[Mr B]

I didn't see those 2 1st round picks anywhere on the field last night

Hopefully they show up down the stretch, cause the Cowboys looked pretty good without them, they really might only be 1 player away.

If they had a star pass rusher, they probably would’ve won.

This is just rationalizing.
The eagles weren’t passing well.
It was the running game. Parsons isn’t great against the run.
Plus they didn’t want to trade him. He forced their hand.

Not to mention Mazi Smith is starting if Micah is still on the team. Jalen himself might have run for over 200 yards if the Micah trade never happens.

AJ brown and devonta smith were both clearly still injured, but they weren’t missing Dallas week. Despite this, Jalen hurts still completed 19/23 passes. Not very many yards, sure, but he kept drives going with both his arm and his legs. A pass rusher would’ve definitely helped.

Also you guys keep saying the rush defense will be better without parsons. If we are going off of 2024 team defense averages, 158 rushing yards given up would be 2nd worst in the NFL.

It would have been worse if Micah was playing.

Hurts threw for 152 yards. There was about 50 on one play. Parsons impact on this game would have been minimal. He will be missed this year especially against pass happy teams.
The cowboys loss because lamb dropped passes and the red zone fumble.

And what happens if the eagles defense didn’t drop three interceptions?

Granted I haven't been on the forum much, but was it really fans saying that or was that how the front office for the Cowboys rationalized it? I think it's the latter.

I don't know if Hurts escapes a couple of the sacks we should have had but missed if Parsons gets his hands on him or cleans up those plays. Hurts really killed us with wide open lanes, but I think that was more on Damone Clark. Not sure if you noticed but Damone Clark was benched for Liafau in the second half. Made a huge difference.

You needed to trade Micah Parsons specifically to get a Kenny Clark?

There was no other possible way to get a decent run stopping DT?

lmao according to you, players always get what they want against Jerry.

Those were on dropped cowboys passes. The ball was literally in lambs hands then almost picked.

[QB_Eagles]

I'm watching the game on ok.ru now... I think Dak spoke ill about our injured fullback, that's why Jalen Carter got angry.

[Mamba Mentality]

Eagles might hit stride later in the season but for now I'm not sold on this team. The new OC looks terrible, he was running Barkley into 9 man boxes and the passing offense looked vanilla and exclusively flowed through the TEs and RBs. Also their defense looks mid, I don't see that changing considering all the turnover they had this offseason.

True. I guess this time Jerry said enough is enough.
I love how the narrative has changed.
Anyone who thought the cowboys had a remote chance of winning the SB this year was a delusional homer. Vegas had the over under for 8.5 games.
Now that Parsons is gone the narrative is the cowboys were one player away but messed it up. lol
It’s amazing the mental gymnastics some will go through to maximize their trolling.

I'm super bitter this morning. Played Devonte Smith in all my fantasy leagues.

Not all. There was one that went right through quinyon Mitchell’s hands. Wasn’t deflected first. Also earlier in the game I think it was Jihaad Campbell that could’ve had one that wasn’t deflected although I will admit that one would’ve been a nice grab (similar to how Ceedee lambs last ball probably wasn’t a drop either if we are being honest).

The eagles literally always start slow during the sirianni era. This was not a pretty game but honestly I think it’s progress believe it or not. The biggest thing for me though is other teams will 100% try to provoke Jalen Carter from here on out.

I mean, yeah

It's trolling

Not exactly, it's more I'm making fun of a team for doing stupid things and then the fans for saying "if we didn't trade Micah, we would've never gotten Kenny Clark!" like that's even remotely a reasonable thing to say

Why would you do that?
