For as much of a bummer as it is to be last in the division, the Eagles have lost their 4 games by an average of only 4.25 points. That has to be among the lowest differentials in the league when it comes to losses.

The Eagles offense should be very rested, at least. They never travel downfield

The NFC East is not only the best division but also the best overall division for quarterbacking. Is there any other division that comes close to the NFC East's QB talent? Maybe the NFC South.

I would hate an NFC championship game between teams in the same division. Divisional games rarely reflect which team is the better team overall. The NFC Champion should be the better team

When Romo is ready to play, will that mean Kirk Cousins is no longer one of the top four QBs in the division?

bad timing bro, Romo had a press conference today to announce that Dak has earned the starting spot and will continue to play.

The Eagles have a more talented defense than the Cowboys by quite a bit, and are much better at generating pass pressure. That said, the one thing the Cowboys defense has done really well this season is avoid giving up explosive plays. They're among the best in the league at not giving up a bunch of extra yards on plays, even if they aren't necessarily stifling when it comes to pass pressure or stuffing the run. The Eagles also have a better ST unit, owing to having better talent on defense that can feed said unit.

On offense, the Cowboys blow the Eagles away in both the pass and the run. I'd say that on the whole, the Eagles' defense is good but a bit overrated statistically based on the poo poo teams they've beaten (excepting Atlanta), while the Cowboys' offense is more legitimate (and improving over the course of the season). On the flip side, the Eagles' offense is below average, while the Cowboys defense manages to be just about average, so the Cowboys have a better team on the whole.

thats a lot of words when you could have just wrote "8-1 bitch"

But the entire NFC East being good hurts your NFC East team. I'd much rather have a lot of scam wins at 11-12 wins than 7-8 hard fought wins when that 7-8 wins sends your team home after Week 17 and you get to watch your NFC East foes take your team's place.

Dak was fantastic for all but the first 2-3 drives. hard to imagine Romo would do any better. And he historically turns the ball over more, meaning the Ravens might have won if he had done so

Cut all of our receivers. Cut Nelson Agholor twice. Keep Wentz, Ertz, Celek, Sproles, and the o-line and start over.

But for real, we have a favorable schedule ahead of us. We could easily win out.

Packers (home)
Bengals (away)
Redskins (home)
Ravens (away)
Giants (home)
Cowboys (home)

the Eagles are going to lose every single one of those games unless Mark Sanchez and the rest of the Cowboys second string plays in Week 17

Ezekiel will break the gently caress down because he's a rookie and can't handle 19 loving games of work horsing it. Dak is going to run into a real defense and be absolutely clueless. The Cowboys won't even make the NFCCG. Probably going to lose in the divisional round, unless they get a favorable matchup. I see Kirk Cousins slicing and dicing them.

A real defense like.... the ravens?
