Game Day Chatter Thread | Week 7 | Eagles at Cowboys | 10/20/19

[Cujo]

I see 9-7.

 

[data]

There won’t be a Wild Card from the NFC East. Division champs or go home. Week 16 will essentially be a do-or-die game.

 

[Smitty]

I'm still complaining about Lawrence's play. He needs to be way better.

 

[Smitty]

Also, still no playaction this week. I wish it would come back into the offense.

 

[data]

Eagles will be like 7-7 and we’ll be 8-6

 

[Smitty]

It was pretty obvious Garrett was removed from the offense

Of course.

It's like a see-saw. Some weeks Garrett is in, some weeks he's out. Mostly on the basis of whether we win or not.

~flush~

There was some PA. The Jarwin TD just to name one, but there was more. There was also a lot more presnap motion this week.

 

[Smitty]

Well Jason Garrett sux but he owns Doug Pedersen

I'd go so far as to say he's maybe just straight up a better coach than Pederson.

I know, Super Bowl and all.

But Pederson has done shit besides that year.

Wah. Jeez at least you lost to a talented team. We lost to the fucking Jets last week. On the other hand, he at least admitted he was embarrassed. Garrett robot boy just tries to learn from all his losses and yet fails to...

Yeah, but the handoff fake then downfield shot is gone. Not just long bombs, but even medium-depth passes. I don't recall much of that.

 

[Smitty]

I really hope just getting in isn't enough at this point.

What if he wins a round but loses in the divisional round again??

Their personnel moves have been pretty shitty lately as well. I do wish we had gotten Goedert over Williams but we weren't interested for some reason. That kid is good fumble not-withstanding.

I don't agree. The Eagles kinda handed that game to us.

This team will be tested in the next month and a half. Let's see what kind of statement they make.

 

[Smitty]

Zeke looked like a different man today. Not sure if he was fired up or the Eagles just suck at tackling. Either way he was way different.

His month and a half warmup after not taking the offseason seriously is over.

Eagles were bad last night no question but give the Cowboys credit. They jumped on em quick and never really let up. You can crush another team's spirit that way and we did. We got a few turnovers and cashed in on both of them to start the game 14-0. The scored, we responded. Every time they had something positive, we responded. They never closed the gap on us. We won the first half with aggressive play-calling and won the second half playing conservative as hell save an ill-advised bomb. We took it to them. Play-calling, execution, overcoming mistakes. It was all there last night. Hopefully a couple weeks to get healthier and we can go on a tear.

 

[Smitty]

I have no idea why the defense couldn't play with this level of passion until now. They took it to the Eagles from the start. Night and day.

The Eagles might be falling apart. I wouldn't get my hopes up for the defense just yet.

 

[Smitty]

Its a total pattern with Garrett....games you should win by a landslide- they get their asses kicked. Games no one gives them a chance....they win. Obviously its not that way EVERY time...but its pretty damn close. Totally frustrating, but something that has been a Garrett trademark.

It's not really close at all to "every time."

But I would believe that it happens to us more than to other teams.

Of course, I think someone posted our record versus the spread and it was actually way better than average.

 

[Smitty]

An actual impressive interception.

 

[Smitty]

Such a weak ass call.

Just fucking awful.
