I’m sure once the game starts, my native preferences will come to the fore and I’ll be yelling for the Eagles. But, at the moment, still thinking rationally, I have really mixed feelings...

And, I said the Boys have a decent chance of losing...

That being said, I’m really enjoying watching Mahomes. Barring some unforeseen issue/injury I’m looking forward to seeing him mature and gain some more experience.

You just need to get rid of Reid to have a shot.

Never seen a fan base so excited about being 8-7, but oh well.

Congrats to Philly, Wentz was due to finally beat Dak. NFC East is such a terrible division and the Cowboys can’t even break 500. Good thing it should be Garret’s last game next week.

This week should be his last game. Heck, 5 years ago should have been his last game.

Anyone now agrees with me that Dak is just an average QB? He was demanding some miracle catches out of his receivers today because of his horrible throws.

You’re definitely right about that! Jerry will probably give him an extension haha

Happy to have been wrong. Congratulations, Eagles!

He had 6 drops and he just had an MRI on his shoulder this week and isn’t near 100%. I’m sure his shoulder was pretty numb with medication before the game.
He missed throws that he’s hit all year.

Yes, the Deflatriots are scrutinized only because they don't spy well enough to avoid getting caught. Just ain't fair...

It is comical how excited Philly fans get. Their team beat DALLAS. Let’s see how they fare against a halfway decent team.

I will say that I’ve thought Dak to be better this year. At least up until 2 or 3 weeks ago. Im sure injury factors. To me, the better question is what’s Jason Garrett’s excuse.

Jobe · #72 12-22-2019, 06:41 PM

Wow. Gotta give it up for the Eagles! Big one. What is up with Dallas? They have talent yet...... Yikes.

I guess when your rival’s 4th round draft pick QB is 4-2 going into the game over your big money 1st round QB, you get super excited to finally win again.

I'm a Pats fan like you, but Dak had a good year and he's better than average. I don't know about elite, but in the top 10.

He was hurt a bit today. Didn't practice much this week.

Again, I'm a Pats fan and couldn't care less about the Eagles. But, this was Dallas' division to win (or lose depending on how you look at it). The Eagles have a ton of injuries and can somehow win this horrible division. It's a win for them today.
