LOL, Dallas's entire drive was basically all penalties.

Which call was bad?

The false start after the encroachment was a bad call. If that's a false start then they need to call it on Lane Johnson each time too. Refs were heavily pro Philly all game. Eagles made some obvious bad plays on the last drive that forced the refs' hands but they did their best to help Philly for sure.

I'll just say GG Eagle fans.

I won't blame refs. This game was within Dak's toe length.

Dallas will be a Wild Card team. And now I know we are capable of beating Philly should we meet in the playoffs.

These teams are very evenly matched.

In the end, Terrance Steele was exposed by Philly. He gave up pretty much nonstop pressure on Dak

Why do receivers try to do this hurdle nonsense?

I know I'm in the minority, but I think Burrow>Allen.

Idk, most people seem to have Mahomes as #1, and then pick Allen as a close #2. Burrow doesn’t get talked about nearly as much, but he’s way more consistent than Allen.

Scrolling through Reddit today and I saw something I haven't seen before: pretty much all the fans in the main NFL subreddit agreeing that the Cowboys were screwed by the refs. When fans of other teams are on the Cowboys side, you know it's bad.

The holding call on the big run for Dallas that clearly wasn't a hold, the phantom PI, the lack of holding calls on Philly, picking up the clear illegal hands to the face flag for no reason at all, Schoonmaker tackled before the ball even got to him on the play where he almost had the TD called, Dak verifying with the ref that Edoga was eligible and then them throwing the flag anyway, etc. Even Greg Olsen of all people was pretty flabbergasted by the calls. The refs were forced to throw some flags at the end on Philly for some really obvious penalties (even though, again, they picked up another obvious one that made Olsen stop mid-sentence lol). Man, what a **** show that was.

Cowboys had a chance to win the game at the end and choked it away, but it looks like the Eagles have now entered Chiefs territory where they amazingly get all the calls their way on a weekly basis (remember the game against Miami where the Eagles didn't have a single penalty? Crazy.)

I don't know if it's gambling or what but NFL refs have really become the worst of the worst across professional sports.

Probably because he's a dual threat but yeah i would easily take Burrow over him.

I was praying that the cowboys wouldn’t have any injuries because I just knew that you would blame that for the loss. But now that the eagles were clearly the ones plagued by multiple injuries, you couldn’t pull that excuse out regardless of you saying in previous threads that you just talk about the injuries as they happen (you forgot to talk about the multitude of injuries in this game for some reason). Now, you resort to blaming the refs. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

And yet between Dak and all the coaches, nobody could come up with a adjustment to improve the blocking schemes and give Steele a bit of help at times. Who gets the blame for seeing and watching that all game and doing nothing about it. Blaming the refs for a loss is what all bad teams do at every level. Great players and teams find ways to over come it.

For some weird reason this fact is lost among some cowboy fans.. They got like 60 yards in penalties alone on that last drive. What more do you need..?lol

If it wasn’t for the eagles DL killing the cowboys OL on the last 3-4 plays of the game, I guarantee the eagles lose. Refs didn’t help the eagles there, it was just the eagles DL playing better football when it matters most.
