Playing like this the eagles aren’t real contenders. Eagles have a lot of fixing to do from now until week 17.

This iteration of the eagles is lethargic, sloppy, and not good enough right now

One way. That's the price of being the Cowboys QB. Not enough praise for being awesome and way too much blame when things don't go as well.

I think it's too much fir Dak haters to ignore now.

Dak now deserves to be in MVP talks.

For sure and I think he is

Well

Here’s to hoping Dallas loses to the dolphins and bills since they aren’t losing to the lions at home lol

Dallas is the 2nd best team in the NFL.

Just one team left to prove themselves against...

Been hearing this for almost 30 years. Too bad the team can’t hear it. If they blow this game it will fall squarely on Dak’s head.

Does it also fall squarely on Dak's head if they win?

Or does that only work one way?

Absolutely. He played great outside of that one drive that ended with his fumble. He HAS to do it again next week and the week after that and throughout the rest of the season. Then he HAS to do it again in the playoffs. They likely are still going to end up the 5th seed. It’s not going to be an easy road for Dak but he HAS to do it.

Dallas in first in the division now! I don't think it'll last so we better savor it!

Staubach and Aikman set the bar. That’s not my fault.

I don’t hate Dak, I actually think he’s a great guy and good role model. I just have higher expectations for him than you do.

Their next 4 isn’t crazy

Dolphins and Buffalo whilst on the road aren’t powerhouses. They get Detroit at home which helps

And Washington is Washington

I think the cowboys can win out

We definitely can, but Philly has a higher probability of winning out. Lots of division games which is always tougher than records indicate but Philly is way better than Washington and NY. If the Seahawks can get a much needed win at home that would be nice for Dallas

What I don’t like is losing 75-33 the last 2 games and just looking lethargic and sloppy. That’s what bothers me. They didn’t look ready for either game. They didn’t look prepared or competitive. They looked all bark and no bite. It’s fixable I think but they are not playing a brand of football that I enjoy whatsoever

I always thought for the cowboys to win the division is for the eagles to lose one game to the giants.
Just don’t see it happening.

Seattle is tough in Seattle

And Arizona already beat Dallas so anything is possible. I just want to see the eagles play a better brand of football, everything else is noise

They just look undisciplined and lethargic. Since the bills game they look like they’re packed it in. It takes a lot to claw back into games. Ever since Buffalo they look unprepared, unfocused, and sloppy

Sure they’ve looked like that at various points in that stretch of wins but now it’s not being met with any actual fight. Just people being loud

He’s been getting high all day on the devils grass. I don’t even think it’s legal in Maine. Unbelievable

Mahomes and Reid both livid in post game comments, think that the TD that was called back was a screw job.

But Tony was way offsides.

Did they throw the flag before Mahomes threw to Kelce? Not that it matters but Mahomes may have seen the flag and either thought he had a free play or suspected that there was a pre snap penalty vs. the Chiefs.

The one that they already lost 42-10 to?

For sure and I think he is

Purdy has a better record, massively outperformed Dak in their head-to-head matchup, and has pretty much the same YPG/TD production despite 100 less pass attempts, and has a much higher rating.

He's gotta be the favorite. And looking at the Cowboys tough schedule and the Niners relatively winnable schedule (at least 3-1, but probably 4-0) I think Purdy will quite easily distance himself from Dak by the end of the season.
