2025 Season | Week 1 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys @ Eagles | 9/4/2025

[Sheik]

Now it’s off to the club to go smack some bitches asses and get crunked up or whatever.

 

[Smitty]

Yeah, maybe they should actually play in the preseason so they don’t have to work all the kinks out.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Dude what are you talking about? I’m Prescott’s biggest critic but other than two or maybe three passes Dak played very well tonight. He wasn’t anywhere near the problem.

I saw almost nothing to complain about with Dak. Hell even that almost INT was because Lamb fell on the play. Otherwise that's a completion/drop.

 

[Clff15701]

We have talent at the DE spot. They will only get better. We look 10 win range maybe.

 

[Simpleton]

Offense completely wilted in the second half. Lamb drops. Dak finishes with 188 yards passing. Javonte 3.6 ypc after being at 4.4 in the first half. Pickens only 3 receptions for 30 yards.

Not gonna cut it, Brian.

Sure, but what did the Eagles offense do in the second half?

Weird game overall, no stops in the first half, only 3 points in the second.

Dak should've had another hundred if CeeDee didn't drop those passes. That was horrid. Game changing. WTF

 

[Texas Ace]

No shit.

I hate this new age of soft football.

 

[Smitty]

No, it's not.

It's going to be the same thing it's always been since Jimmy Johnson left town.

So let's say the Cowboys end up being a good team this year.

So fucking what?

We already know how that story is going to end.

They'll get to the divisional round at best and find a way to NOT win that game the way they've found a way to not win that game since 2007.

It's a loser culture that breeds loser moments when the lights shine brightest and that will never change so long as the team is run the way that it is.

Not trying to be overdramatic but this is like the worst case scenario. They clearly remain stuck in neutral and not good enough to hang with the big boys.

Yet they aren’t gonna bottom out so we can hope to get an elite talent in here or affect real organizational change as fans get disgruntled. They will win their 9 or 10 games and lose early in the playoffs, or be eliminated the final week of the regular season or something, just enough to string us along and keep us paying again next year.

Kneeland is going to be very legit, he beat Johnson several times tonight.

 

[Sheik]

Yeah, maybe they should actually play in the preseason so they don’t have to work all the kinks out.

It’s going to be a lot of close losses with a few demoralizing blowouts along the way. They never tried to take the game over until it was too late.

Lots of conservative games like the Parcells era.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Sure, but what did the Eagles offense do in the second half?

It was very weird. Even down to the run game from both sides disappearing after the rain delay.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Yeah I liked the way the Dline started to look as the game went on. And you could say it was because of their guard. But our DEs started to actually beat their OTs too.

They just hung with the big boys. What are you talking about?

 

[fortsbest]

Ceedee qA. disapointment. Dak made some dumb throws. The D stepped up in the second half and showed Eberflues can actually make adjustments. All in all, I'm not happy we lost, but I can see the promise this team has. Pickens needs to get used more. The Terpin thing is ok, but Pickens has to be more involved. 3 targets or so is ludicrous. Good nigh gents. Be safe.

 

[fortsbest]

Sorry, too much Eagle Rare.

 

[kidd]

At least three opportunities to take the lead and we couldn’t do it.

That sucks. But again I wasn’t expecting to win.

BTW, Dak lied his ass off to Garrett and Garrett knew it!

 

[Cowboysrock55]

They just hung with the big boys. What are you talking about?

Yeah, way too much to read into the first game of the season. These games rarely mean much other than a win or loss.

 

[ravidubey]

Rain delay defensive adjustments were really good.

This team again lacked the guts and toughness to take advantage of Carter’s ejection.

You CAN’T not take advantage of these opportunities

I have no idea what got into Lamb

 

[Smitty]

You have to drive the offense more than 188 yards through the air. You think Mahomes or Josh Allen doesn’t have to deal with 2 or 3 drops in a game ever? I suspect they still manage to throw for more than 188 yards.

Lamb drops one, elite QBs find a first down on the next play.

Dak doesn’t find first down strikes at a high enough rate so drops are fatal to our offense.

I’m speaking about in comparison to elite QBs, the ones who win all the time.

 

[Tony D]

Sanders fumble, CeeDee drops.

Clean that shit up.

We would've scored every drive. At least FG's. They didn't stop us once. We stopped ourselves.
