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.
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.
