What a win
I just can’t believe that Cowboys went from own 14 to Eagles 6 in 20 seconds and then ended up making the last throw from the 26

Went from Eagles throwing it away to Dallas throwing it away in about 15 seconds I think
Crazy, wonderful game.

Yup overall I think cowboys have a lot to be happy about from this game. Dak was great but of course Eagles have a big lead now. I just can’t understand that ending at all
Going from we have Eagles'd it again to oh the Cowboys have Eagles'd itI just can’t believe that Cowboys went from own 14 to Eagles 6 in 20 seconds and then ended up making the last throw from the 26
Crazy final 30 seconds
I'm certainly feeling a lot better about Dallas now than I was after the slapping we got in San Francisco.
Eagles do have a big lead, but that could look quite different in 4 weeks time.
Eagles: Bye, Chiefs, Bills, Niners
Dallas: Giants, Panthers, Commanders, Seahawks
I dont think it's a stretch to say their records could be the same by the end of that run. Or maybe just 1 game in it.
Then it's Eagles @ Dallas.
In terms of just crazy moments that was one of the craziest games I have ever seen
1)Eagles get that stop at the half yard line
2)Dak steps out on 2 point play
3)Swift fumbles but then recovers own fumble
4)Swift & Brown collide but eagles get lucky
5)Dak tries to flip in to the end zone but gets tackled
6) All the madness in the last minute

3 game lead now over them Boys. Good cushion and 1st win in this brutal stretch of games. Hopefully we comeback stronger after the bye next week.
Chiefs, Bills, Niners, Cowboys remain in this tough run.

That clown show at the end by the Cowboys has overshadowed what was a very decent performance. They were just inches away from turning the game on its head against the favourites to reach the super bowl from the NFC.
Bengals with a fantastic opening drive
Yeh, nothing has been over shadowed really though. Will we look back with some regrets? Yes. But that doesn't change that we went to Philli and played a really good game.

This Dobbs performance & win is one of the best NFL performances in a long time

I said overshadowed because whilst you played well and were competitive, those last few plays was the Dallas we've become accustomed to for years in the big games. Really poor execution and stupid decisions like throwing the ball short of the end zone on the last play. But apart from that it was really good and it's definitely a performance to build on.
The state of our receiving stats when Kelce is marked out of the game. It's good to share the load a bit but it's getting quite concerning that Rice (who was quiet today) and perhaps Watson are our only serviceable WRs.
Von Miller sure looks proper geeky for a HoF wrecking ball. Always surprised whenever his face pops up.
Allen
Bills look like they have the tools to be a great team but they are just stuck at being a good team. Too many mistakes in them.
Sounds like a broken arm for Dallas Goedert, just as the Eagles are about to run the gauntlet in their schedule. Shite.
I was wondering if I was the only one thinking this watching #5...
Surprised the GM & staff didn't go for a receiver, maybe someone like Hopkins who'd probably have jumped at the chance or a decent option like Marquise Brown in Arizona.
Watching the Cowboys last play, looked like a receiver was open in the right side of the end zone. Can't tell if the defender broke away to help stop Lamb or if the receiver had gained decent separation against. Dak missed that option whether open or single coverage, guessing the play was always for Lamb but if so why throw a pass in the field of play about five yards short of the end zone with no time left? If you run that play another receiver has to run near/underneath for a lateral option. No player appears to have made a move towards Lamb for a possible lateral option as if the play was intended for a throw into the end zone as the only option.
Another example of why Dak will never enter that elite tier and why McCarthy is nothing special, but both are safe in Jerry's worrld. Dak is good enough to sling it around against bad teams, hold his own against good teams, but still has the occasional meltdown under pressure. He performed well last night but came up short as he most often does when it matters. Burrow and Mahomes probably pull a win out of the hat in that situation.

That was such a nasty tackle
Didn't help that he put his hand right into the defender's facemask to which the defender pushed the arm down and the subsequent tackle left him vulnerable.
Cowboys late game management under McCarthy is always so funny. On the second last drive down 5 with 5 minutes left Greg Olsen kept talking about going up tempo but they took their own time. On the 2 minute warning they had a 3rd & 21 and rather than using the break to have two plays called they basically got 15 yards and then took 35 seconds on the 4th & 6. Just very poor stuff
Daniel "Dimes" Jones is out for the season with a torn ACL, so all aboard the #tankforpenix submarine
He back.
I think their best case scenario is that he plays well but the Cards still lose a lot of games, and they can draft Caleb Williams #1 overall next spring while still getting a nice return for Kyler in a trade.
Would be quite something if they win enough games to let the Bears pair Caleb with MHJ though
And the Giants have probably entered the race as well now with DJ out for the season and a boatload of injuries to key players.

Who is their right mind is going to pay Kyler Murray's exorbitant salary. I think they just cut him.
They can't cut him until 2025. Otherwise the best financial hit is 81.5m in dead money and -29.6m cap savings.
Crikey. Ravens are starting to look good, OL looks tougher now Lindebaum is in there, and I don't think we've ever had a better group of receiving options.
I could see him in Dallas next year if the Cowboys do what a lot of us think they will and go out in the Wildcard/Divisionals because of poor execution in key moments.
Don't think he'd ever work for Jerry with the way the latter is involved in everything.
Of course it made complete sense in that instance to sign Miles Sanders to a 4-year, $25m contract last offseason
This is also great fun to watch. Especially if you combine it with this information:
I swear some guys in the NFL really go out of their way to just prove that they are "football smart" rather than admit that looking at data would actually help them win games.

The Chiefs are 2nd in the league at 3rd and 2 or longer conversions and 27th in the league at 3rd and 1 or shorter conversions. It's essentially because for whatever reason, Andy Reid can't bring himself to trust in his o-line and Pacheco to gain 1 yard on 3rd down by running it up the middle but is perfectly fine in calling it on 1st down for a gain of 3-5. I'd bet we are last in the league at rush attempts on 3rd down and short. Really grinds my gears and there's part of me that wants us to get a 5 yard penalty on 3rd and short just so I don't have to watch the cutesie bullshit jet sweeps/sideways pass failures that happens more often than not in these situations.
Chiefs fans sure have such a torrid time of things.
Says the Broncos fan whose team held the Chiefs to 3 field goals because we couldn't convert any of our 3rd and shorts for the reasons outlined above.
