Trade Eli for Wentz.Quote:

Sproles is still incredible. He hasn't slowed down a bit.
He's shifty as fuck.
so many missed opportunities
If he had more carries over the course of his career I think we'd be talking HOF. He is top 10 all purpose yards fwiw. 2nd best return guy on that list too (Brian Mitchell being the best).
DEZ BACK

I'm going to have a heart attack
Why do you call 3 straight passes? Same shit at the end of the first half that led to the goal line pick. Dak looks uncomfortable against the blitz, he keeps just lobbing the ball up over the middle and he's lucky every time it isn't picked. So again, why not run the ball once in the series? Wouldn't you like to run some clock even if you don't move the ball?

Great game fun to watch.

I don't get why they don't trade Romo. Like say oh look he's healthy, we got Dak so now Romo's activated and ready to play, then trade him. Jerry Jones has drafted really well recently and this class looks pretty stacked. I'd think someone like the Rams would consider him for a upper mid rounder at least pick with Goff not being a starter yet and Romo as a stop gap while still in the playoff race with a legit RB and defense.
the rams would be incredibly stupid to trade for him
no team with a crap offensive line should trade for romo, lol
sweet jesus it's like having andy reid back.... how does a coach lose a game like that.
Notes from game:
1) Prescott = most overrated QB in NFL
2) Can the Eagles please get a WR during Wentz's career?
3) A few CBs would be nice.
4) Terrence Williams offensive PI may have been one of the smartest plays I've ever seen a NFL player make. Mad respect for him there.
5) I had the Eagles at 6-10 coming into this season, but man is it frustrating losing a game like that. Eagles should have won that game with ease.
6) Doug Pederson please wake up
I don't understand how they should have won with ease? Dallas dominated in total yards, it's not like Philly was just marching up and down the field and then turning the ball over. Dak throwing that goal line pick was a huge swing, because Dallas could have been looking at a 17-10 halftime lead instead of a 10-13 deficit. I thought Dak left a lot of plays on the table, not finding open receivers in the middle, overthrowing and underthrowing open receivers (the fade route to a wide open Dez in the endzone that hit the trailing defender comes to mind). What makes you say the Eagles should have won easily?
Eagles always find a way to lose to bums.
Wish Romo had been starting. Not sure what greenday saw but I saw Dak win the fucking game, duh.
I think a healthy Romo wins that game in regulation. Dak looked lost against the blitz - I'm not saying he won't get better with experience, but Romo would have been better prepared to handle that pressure. Dak targeted Dez 14 times, Dez only had 4 catches, and I can't recall a pass I thought Dez should have caught and didn't. He missed him so many times, especially those red zone throws. And if not for T-Will committing that penalty, Dak would have thrown 2 redzone picks.
Your basing that on all the success Tony Romo has had winning games under pressure or... what?Quote:

That's what Romo has had to deal with for years. His best years as a passer have been squandered by poor defense.Quote:

The Eagles didn't win the time of possession or turnover battle. They didn't rush or pass for more yards. They did a really good job against Prescott for most of the game, but who cares? The game's not over at the end of 3 quarters and sometimes not at the end of 4. He made the plays at the end.
Philly is not a better team than Dallas. They had a good game plan coming in and executed it well for most of the game and still lost.
And I'll say it one more time. Prescott is a ROOKIE 4TH ROUND PICK who suddenly became the Dallas Cowboys starter, a team that went 4-12 last year. If anyone could step in and play in that offense they wouldn't have gone 4-12 last year.
Dallas is 6-1. Best record in the conference. I'm not even going to mention struggles because every fucking quarterback struggles and he's a rookie. Even mentioning it is stupid. He's played well all year and is a solid ROY candidate and Dallas is in 1st place. Calling Dak Prescott overrated is stupid.
What else would he be basing it on? Romo is one of the best ever under pressure. As an eagles fan you should know that better than most.Quote:

I also don't know how many times our CBs are going to let WRs make them look like they shouldn't be NFL CBs. That Dez Bryant play in the endzone should've been an easy TD and if the CB was looking was picked. There was another play down the left side of the field where if Mills turned around it would've been a pick. I forget which WR that was thrown to.Quote:

I just think he's the product of an amazing system and is overhyped. Dallas is definitely the best team in NFC East and I think I give them all the respect they're owed, but just not a fan of all the hype the QB is getting there. He doesn't impress me.
He was far more impressive against a top-tier defense than Wentz was against...the cowboys
I'll say this once more.Quote:

And I mean it's not even arguable. Dak could go 100/100 for 300 yards like Wentz did on 3 and 4 yard passes and screens. But that doesn't show much. It's literally meaningless. Anyone who thinks Wentz played well or had a better showing than Prescott wasn't watching the same game. And if Prescott can beat you playing his worst game so far as a pro, you don't have a prayer when he's at his best.
Idk. I think with better receivers Wentz would look a lot better. But that line held up really well most of the game. He had all day to throw most of the time and sproles was KILLING the Dallas defense on the ground.Quote:

I thought for sure we were going to lose when he started breaking off those big chunk runs in the second half. I can't believe he only got 15 carries as well as he was running the ball.
