2023 Season | Week 14 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Eagles @ Cowboys | 12/10/2023

If they threw a flag every time he was held, it would affect the continuity of the game. It's unfair to Parsons, but I honestly think that's how the refs look at it. Or they just have a grudge because he's outspoken.

Yeah but damn, throw 3-4 a game. Half the “holds” they called on the Cowboys last night were a fucking joke. I’d say 2-3 were blatant holds, but nothing like what the Eagles OL were doing to Micah. What a joke.

 

[UncleMilti]

Good win, but I didn't love the way the offense played in the second half.

I'm also muted because if the Eagles win out, they still win the division, and they probably will win out because they have all cupcakes left, while our schedule is difficult as shit.

I’d have agreed with you 4-5 weeks ago. Now…no way. The cupcakes are there on the schedule but the Eagles look a bit in disarray and the D is giving up passing AND rushing yards. I could easily see them dropping 1 or 2 games.

That was a great throw and catch at that point in the game.

Hell hath certainly frozen over.

Gotta give credit where credit's due, to the team and the believers. I've dumped on them when they came up limp. Only fair to acknowledge when they were more than equal to the task.

That's the big thing. If they don't want to bog down games with a hundred holding calls, fine. But then don't call it the other way. You can't ignore the many blatant holds on Parsons but then call every little ticky tack hold we do on the opponent. That's the bullshit part.

And in reference to that sign from last night...

Thanks Bipo.

My hat is off to all those who kept the faith, who believed in the Cowboys, and correctly assessed the Eagles for what they really are.

I had serious doubts about the Cowboys, their record in these kinds of games is not encouraging. But they came up big when they had to.

Season's far from over, but the team crossed some kind of threshold, IMHO.

Balanced officiating played a part too. I am not sure they would have held up as well if the refs started screwing with them

Also, the Cowboys game vs the Lions is looking a lot easier now. Over the last few weeks they've been looking like the same old Lions.

I'd rather be the 5 seed and playing well than the 2 seed and putzing around the last 6 weeks heading into the playoffs.

I appreciate McCarthy constantly tying things back to Schottenheimer, having that old school influence is really important in a league where nowadays some of these hot shot OC-types can lose their heads chasing shiny stats and headlines.

I'm not 100% certain on this but I think if the Eagles lose one more, we'd win the division if we beat the Bills/Dolphins/Skins to finish 13-4, even with a loss to the Lions.

Basically that Lions game might not mean a whole lot, although I don't think they have any real shot at winning in Dallas considering how average they've looked as of late.
