GAME DAY TNF / Opening Night - Cowboys at Eagles

[Mojo Ram]

Maybe I'm a bit more cynical than you, but I suspect that games are reffed to obtain a certain outcome. I have seen it happen in our football (in the UK) for decades.

Money talks.

We agree. I have had integrity questions for years on many things. The reputation theory I have isn’t necessarily a conspiracy though.

Eagles are still one of our top threats to the top this season. Not having Carter is a huge hole for that defense and let the Cowboys work downfield a lot more than they probably planned... too bad receivers can't catch the ball. But agreed that the Eagles are a little more watered down this year compared to last. Don't have as much depth to handle injuries if needed.

The offense is just annoying to watch. Hurts is not a good QB I don't care what people say. The Eagles built an offense around Hurts physical strengths to minimize his lack in ability as a passer to progress through targets. That oline and Hurts ability to run when he can't see his wide open receivers down field keeps them alive every drive for him to eventually hit his open first read for chunk plays. Be interesting if Dickerson misses a lot of time or they lose any other players. Cowboys were having success once that oline started getting banged up.

Hurts is a good QB. His problem is he likes to take off a lot. Hes is legit better running back than most of the league's RBs. QB hes very accurate for the most part. Problem hes doesnt open the field to make those throws to AJ or smitty. Dallas were closing the run game and passing because it wasnt respected.

They knew Hurts was gonna run if things failed on oline on pass plays. Dumb passes to Goddert and Saquon for -4 yards is not gonna cut it. 51 yards to Dotson should have opened the flood gates a bit for respect to the pass but guess what, back to run that clearly was shut down behind the line. Thats when you "Puka" the shit out of them after the launch on slant/Sluggo or comeback routes with Smitty or AJ, then go back to the run or mix it in with those runs and few bombs . Balance act, not 95% Run, 5% dump passes. Offense for Eagles was shit outside of Hurts.

Hate to say it but Dallas offense looked Decent and well mixed.

He spit on the ground. It was definitely meant as an insult, but he didn't spit at him. Not a penalty. It did incite carter but that is common. Not the spitting, the inciting.
