2016 NFL Week #8: Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) @ Dallas Cowboys (5-1)

[Scot]

Ballsy call for sure. Not the kind of thing Garrett normally does, but it was ballsy and we probably won because of it

I completely agree
The play calling is different with Dak in there. It's almost like he trusts him and Zeke To get the tuff yards when it really counts

Whereas with Romo he plays it safe

Garrett finally broke his 0-fer against rookie coaches.

He wasn't 0-fer against rookie coaches going in, pointed that out before today

My bad. Kept seeing stats like 0-6 on the nets.

That, and Dak is a powerful runner. Tony isn't.

Well. The Philly coach wanted to know if Dak could play from behind. Check.

He wanted to know if Dak could handle lots of pressure. Check.

He was curious if Dak could handle exotic coverages. Check.

But most of all, he wanted to know if Dak could overcome a bye week full of idiots like Garrett in his ear, filling his head full of STUPID shit, and still be effective. Check.

Dak checked all of the boxes tonight. He graduated finishing school.

This was a scary moment, thought he was going to attempt to power through that hole. I'm glad he spun around.

David Helman face though. He should join us on this forum.

Kiss yo daddy ...

Guess those wary of the Cowboys coming off the bye were right. It fucked up our momentum and gave the offensive coaches a reason to go back to the failed based around the pass offense.

Makes me mad how Garrett comes out after halftime saying that they have to go back to being a run first team and working the passing offense around that.

Jason is always behind the times. Happy with the results. It almost felt like they were calling Romo plays. They sped up and things clicked like the last 5 games.

Yep i was yelling that at the TV all game long. THAT'S A FUCKING ROMO PLAY!"

And those plays had quite predictable results too.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Jerry for sure as shit was sloshed as hell though.

 

[bbgun]

Skip will be insufferable and Stephen A will be inconsolable

I noticed that at the time and had to laugh

Almost like he wasn't sure it the TD was going to hold up or he was waiting to see if there were any flags before cheering

It's time to lock up that outdated "Romo Playbook" in the old office safe

Romo won't be seeing another down as a Cowboy

 

[JBond]

It felt like they wanted to see how he did with a Romo game plan. Not well. Both rooks stepped it up.

 

[Doomsday]

Jerry for sure as shit was sloshed as hell though.

So was I. First game I popped any beers for all season.

 

[Scot]

Zeke is still in first place after the bye week. And the 2-5 ranked guys behind him all still have their bye weeks coming up

Nobody will be able to touch him!

Unless they ban him for several weeks for domestic abuse that he didn't commit. I thought that bullshit only happened in the Army, command would still punish you even the legal authorities didn't charge you, in such cases like DUI etc.

Barry Church with a potential fractured arm, and Morris Claibornes groin injury could be serious, per Jerry Jones.

Yep. Whoever would have believed we'd be saying these are two potential major losses? Both were having really solid years.

Gonna hurt the defense for sure I think with both out for any significant time, especially with Pittsburgh coming up.

Said it during the game, but how little does Philly trust Wentz to go deep when Wilcox is back there and you never even test him? Except for that WR pass that he totally lost and was almost a td.

Side note, this super-short passing game seems like more of a trend and it's sort of tedious and boring to watch after a while IMO. Give me the good old Norv Aikman to Irvin 18 yard in route.
