Jumped off my couch when the D came out with the initial 3 & out and was ready to eat crow, but it's steadily evened out since then. The coverage has been good for the 1st and 2nd, but they keep giving up the 3rd. On the other end of the defense, the pass rush hasn't been there aside from Reddick. Really expected more from Sweat and Carter this game. Can't seem to stop #87 at all unless he misses the ball.
Secondary gives up all the big plays it seems.
Offensively I'm still not happy with the lack of Penny carries, especially with Scott being inactive. They ran some plays from the split-back, which I LOVED to see, but would've loved even more with Penny/Swift. Don't know why we came out so pass heavy when this is a team you want to establish to run against early.
Again, what do I know, I'm here on my couch and they're getting paid millions of dollars.

For what it's worth, I've been screaming at the TV for the pass rush to hit him almost every time Prescott drops back.
And shitting on them heavily for not getting there when everyone has been hyping up this D-line

That was dangerously close to being a historically bad regular season loss.
Brian Johnson needs to lose his playcalling abilities NOW.
Fortunately, Dallas was just as interested in losing as we were, and we finished it off.

I would LOVE Johnson to lose those privileges, but at this point they're clearly committed to him the same way they are with Gainwell.

The Eagles still have the same problems as a couple of weeks ago. They do not take care of the football. I don't think I have ever seen a team put the ball on the ground 3x and recover the ball all 3 teams. They were very lucky yesterday.
I said this before and I have not seen anything that would force me to change my mind. This is not a championship caliber defense. The secondary cannot even stop mediocre QBs from lighting them up. Never mind decent QBs like Prescott and the elite QBs the Eagles will face over the next several weeks. Until this defense gets sorted, it is only a matter of time before they cost the Eagles a game. It will probably happen once or twice in the regular season and then again in the playoffs.
I have been mostly happy with the offense but that pass call on 3 and 3 with 4:57, wound me right up. You run there and eat more clock or force Dallas to burn a TO. Gain a yard or two on 3rd, then you bring in the brotherly shove. If you do not gain enough yards on 3rd, then you punt.
Enjoy the win. It is always great to beat the Cowboys. The Eagles have the bye with some time to sort out the defense and figure out what they are going to do without Goedert for probably the rest of the regular season.

Good game. The refs were equally awful to both teams, so I make no excuses there. Dak is catching a lot of crap for some plays, and rightfully so, but yall's victory was legitimate and earned. See yall again in December.

Loved the outcome, a must win and a hard fought game.
After the Phillies debacle we could not handle a home loss to the hated Cowboys.
I’ll happily take it for now.
I’m hearing a lot of ex players who opinions I respect crow about how we’re the best team in the nfl, no doubt.
No doubt? 1st and goal from the six with about a minute left and that’s no doubt?
A left knee of the TE hits five inches short of the goal on 4th down, no doubt?
A force out at the six inch line on a two point conversion, no doubt?
Three of our own fumbles that we recover, no doubt.
The same team got smoked by SF by four TD’s. No doubt?
We have the best record in the league.
We have the 7th best point differential in the league with the 22nd toughest schedule. We are 28th in pass defense who gives up a QB rating of 99, which is better than what our star QB has achieved. We have made opposing QB’s Jalen Hurts. That’s a big problem.
As far as Dallas goes, they have us at home in a few weeks. Win that one for a season split, and they need to make up one game the rest of the season to force tiebreakers. With KC, BUF, SEA, SF on our schedule in the next few weeks versus DAL upcoming schedule in that time, there are plenty of opportunities for them to make up that game. This division race is no where near over.
We need to coach with the urgency as if we lost some of those games. We seem too comfortable given our performances in those games. Coaching urgency is sorely needed.

Please fire the OC immediately! Ok, maybe that's a bit harsh but, how many more games are we going watch where the Eagles have a 2 score lead late in the game and, instead of running the ball to keep the clock running, they pass pass pass...
Every, friggin' week this guy does the same thing! And we keep coming close to losing because of it. Eventually, they're going to get beaten with this studity.
