by the way, if you have the extra cash, a subscription to The Athletic is worth it in my opinion.

Between The Philly Voice and The Athletic, I've barely gone to philly.com since they put up the paywall. Like why read Marcus Hayes when I can read Kempski/Kapadia on the Eagles and Bodner/Hoffman/Neubeck on the Sixers?

I like Iggles Blitz because it seems somewhat rational and hopeful. Tommy Lawlor runs it.

Yeah, that's on my list too. I used to be a bigger Lawlor fan than I am now though. I'm not sure if he's changed, I've changed, or if it's just natural to get tired of something after a while. I like the commenters there too.

Y'all gonna be surprised by how well the Cowboys play without Zeke. Dak is much better than widely thought. He doesn't make many of the flashy downfield plays, but I am very confident he will do well. The offensive line is playing at an elite level. It will struggle against great defensive lines like the Eagles, but it is going to to make the other Cowboys running backs look good every other week.

Look forward to the Eagles vs. Cowboys playoff game. It will be the zenith of this year's thread.

Kempski is good too, although he can be a bit troll-y.

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





Morris is a downgrade from Zeke sure, but I don't think it's such a massive one that their offense is going to change significantly. A DL like Philly has should be able to ruin their day. Eagles were able to disrupt Dak in their first match last year by getting pressure up the middle.

And still lost :sigh:

But this is the year of 18-1 so!

How can you truly experience the pain of losing if you aren't completely convinced there's no chance of it happening.

You’re clearly forgetting about the Cowboys pass defense, which I fully expect Wentz to carve up with long balls, putting Dak in to a hole. If the boys can keep it close in the first half I like our chances. If the Eagles score on their first two drives, significantly less so.

I think the Eagles will beat the Cowboys 3-2 because NFCE clown ball rules but also I also support us just turning this into a GDT for that game alone. This is our division, our secret public club, let's go hog wild.

The Eagles steam rolling the Cowboys and dropping 50 on them in their house after all of this bullshit would be the greatest.

No matter what happens, it’s gonna be “BUT WE DIDNT HAVE ZEKE :cry:

So, we won’t get credit either way.

Well here. I am a Cowboys fan and I am honestly unsure if Zeke would have made a difference anyway, win or lose. Feels like it's gonna be a game with a tone that's decided within the first two series.

Gonna share a secret with you guys

Eagles were my second favorite team growing up until I was old enough to realize why rooting for two division rivals was a bad idea. It was probably because I ended up seeing a bunch of Eagles games at the old Texas Stadium with that ‘96 playoff win being my favorite game I’ve been to. Cold football games in Texas are memorable

Ok real talk mode off... YO SUPA gently caress DA EAGLES

It's still going to be interesting though since 3 of the Eagles' next 4 games are against teams with winning records.
