Another site had us 15th, but it's somewhere in that area.

If we could lose Sunday we could potentially move up to the 10-12 range.

Hi out there in Cowboys U. This is my first time on here, I just registered. Im here to say how stunned i'am that the power of this team got the door slammed in their face by a team that has more top players injured, and not playing. I happen to live here in Phila, but iam no Eagles fan, never was, and never will be. I always pick the Cowboys to beat the Eagles. And after this team beat up on the Rams last week, I was certain that this team would do the same to the crippled Eagles team. Well what a shock this game turned out to be. I'am sure there are a lot of demanding questioned needing to be answered by the head coach, etc.

We have in Garrett what you had in Marvin Lewis. A mediocre coach that the Owner liked too much to fire, regardless of results.....

I know BB hates him but he has made a huge difference since we traded for him.
The Raiders dumped him for a reason. He spends too much time trying to run the perfect route as opposed to getting open. Then there's the no-show performances on the road and the endless nagging injuries. He is anything but elite.

Well the 2019 season comes to an end. The game against the hated Eagles was not how I thought it would end up. I was hoping the Cowboys would crush the Eagles and their high hopes of winning. I have a cure for forgetting this embarrassment and going back to a time when the Cowboys beat the hated Eagles all the time. I have many rival Cowboys/Eagles games on dvd. If anyone is interested in going back in time and watching this rivalry in action, let me know. I have games from the early 80's to present.

The Rayduhs dumped Khalil Mack too.

Two stupid moves by a dumbass organization.

nah, no questions, we know what the problem is and we're not shocked by the result yesterday in the slightest, that is who the Cowboys are now, going on 25 years

6 dropped passes by Cowboy receivers today. That coupled with an injured, inaccurate QB, it's a wonder they even scored at all. Just an uninspired performance all around.

It's like they sensed this was their opportunity to get rid of Garrett.


"Garrett said this was a Kellen Moore decision and the rotation part comes from Sanjay Lal."

Incredible. Garrett is useless. Lal is clueless. Moore? A little bit of both.

However , we need to be clear on “ drops” . Are they shitty thrown balls ??? Like behind and over the receivers heads ?? I’m sure that total will drop if we filter it.

No, these are defined as "should be catches" or something along those lines. They have the exact criteria on there somewhere if you care to review, but these are not balls that were simply touched by fingertips or the guy had to dive for.

Garrett out there this morning saying it was Kellen Moore's decision to rotate WR's.

Garrett doing what Garrett does. Blame others and never accept responsibility for being a moron HC.

Hey REDTARD, YOU are the head coach, OTHERS have to do what YOU say.

Fucking idiot.

So what you are saying Garrett is that Moore backstabbed you, like you did Wade, right? At least to Wade's credit, he didn't blame you.

Here are 10 truths from the Cowboys’ 17-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field...

1. You’re not going to win the NFC East with an awful performance from your quarterback. Dak Prescott was awful Sunday against Philadelphia. Now, you can certainly blame his sprained right shoulder that kept him from practicing all week and the two fingers on his left hand that are banged up which he taped together, but nobody cares. Prescott threw for 265 yards but missed several throws high, and he badly overthrew Tavon Austin for what should have been a 75-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to cut the score to 17-15. He needed to match Carson Wentz, who passed for 319 yards and a touchdown. He didn’t come close.

2. This is probably the biggest collection of wasted talent since Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989. The only other team in the conversation is the 2008 team that lost 44-6 in a win-and-get-in game, also against Philadelphia. This season began in Oxnard, Calif., with Super Bowl aspirations for a team with a collection of young talent that most NFL general managers believed was among the best in the league, but the Cowboys wilted time after time this season under adversity. They had two three-game losing streaks and have lost eight of their past 12 games despite not losing any elite players to injury for more than a game or two. Pathetic.

3. Jason Garrett never figured out how to get this team to play for him consistently. He never figured out how to get Dallas off to fast starts, and it struggled in the first quarter again against Philadelphia, trailing 10-0 early. The Cowboys trailed early against Green Bay (14-0 in first quarter), the New York Jets (21-3 in second quarter), Minnesota (14-0 in first quarter), Chicago (17-7 in second quarter) and Philadelphia (10-0 in first quarter). The early deficits limited their run game and forced them to play from behind way too often. Dallas is 0-8 when trailing at halftime this season.

4. Chidobe Awuzie was benched in first quarter and Jourdan Lewis replaced him. He deserved to be benched. Awuzie was beaten for receptions of 12 and 6 yards early in the game, but he was tentative in setting the edge and making a tackle on a Miles Sanders run that went for 8 yards. He played when the Cowboys went to their nickel defense. The big question is: How can you not be ready to play on the second series of a game for the NFC East title? The other question is: How come Garrett didn’t display this type of accountability throughout the season?

5. The Cowboys racked up a bunch of empty numbers this season. Prescott has thrown for more than 4,500 yards, Ezekiel Elliott has rushed for more than 1,100 yards and Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup have each surpassed the 1,000-yard mark. The Cowboys lead the NFL in offense but failed to score a touchdown in two games this season (New England, Philadelphia).

6. For the seventh time this season, the Cowboys failed to force a turnover. Xavier Woods dropped what should have been an easy interception in the second quarter and defensive end Robert Quinn forced a fumble on a sack that Wentz recovered. The Cowboys’ inability to create turnovers is among the major reasons they lead the NFL in offense -- they’re always starting with poor field position. It’s hard to consistently win without forcing turnovers.

7. Cooper said he was pulled by the coaches for the final play. Garrett said Cooper was rotating with Tavon Austin. Either answer makes you question how much to invest in Cooper in the offseason when he’s a free agent. He caught just four of 12 passes directed to him for 24 yards. His body language was bad and he was a non-factor in the biggest game of the year. You can’t pay a dude $18 million a year if you don’t trust him to be on the field at the end of the biggest game of the season.

8. Woods made two huge plays in the first half but missed a third that could’ve changed the game. He hit tight end Zach Ertz on the game’s first drive, creating an incompletion that forced the tight end out of the game with sore ribs. Ertz returned but didn’t contribute much. Woods later made a big tackle for loss on a third down that forced the Eagles to punt after they had grabbed a 10-0 lead. But Woods dropped a tipped pass that was right in his hands when Dallas was down 10-3 after Wentz made a throw under pressure from DeMarcus Lawrence.

9. Elliott seemed like he was ready to break loose a couple of times in the second half, but the Cowboys couldn’t sustain enough drives to keep giving him the ball. In a lot of ways, it was the story of his season. Elliott has five career games with 12 or fewer carries, and three occurred this season (Green Bay, Buffalo and Philadelphia). The Eagles stacked the line early and the Cowboys didn’t force them to back up by completing passes.

10. Overall, play-caller Kellen Moore had a good season. That said, there were too many questionable calls in this game, especially the last play. You don’t call a 50-50 jump ball for Gallup with Cooper and Randall Cobb on the bench. They have to be in the game. If you have to burn a timeout, then do it, because the season is at stake. And there has to be a better play than a jump ball to Gallup because you just need 8 yards. A rub route. Y option to Jason Witten. There should have been a lot more options than a fade to Gallup.
