Eagles Beat Cowboys 30-27 In Dallas

in Philadelphia Eagles Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe Eagles went down to Dallas in primetime tonight and got themselves a measure of revenge. After three straight losses to the Cowboys last season, the Eagles exorcised their demons with a big 30-27 win that puts the Eagles in very good shape in the NFC playoff picture. With the win, the Eagles move to 9-4 and atop the NFC East. They also hold a game lead in the wildcard race over everyone but the Saints.
The name of the game for the Eagles offense tonight was big plays and they pretty much all came from Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy. I'll start with McCoy, whose 149 yards rushing was a career high. The big thing is that he was 10-for-135 in the second half. His big highlight was a 56 yard run, but the way he just sliced through the Dallas defense on the final drive was a thing of beauty.
Actually, let me digress a bit about that last drive. Dallas had just scored a TD to close the gap to three points. Jorrick Calvin gets a stupid penalty on the ensuing return and the Eagles are pinned back. The crowd is back in the game and Dallas is feeling good. The Eagles offense takes the ball with four and half minutes left and runs 9 straight times for 63 yards to put the game away. There was one great play from Michael Vick in there, but otherwise it was all LeSean McCoy and the offensive line just blowing Dallas away. Great end to the game.
Headlines and notes after the jump
DeSean Jackson had himself a big night. His 210 yards receiving were the third most in a single game in franchise history. He was behind only Tommy McDonald, who had 237 on 12/10/61, and Kevin Curtis, who had 221 on 9/23/07 in the ugly uniform game. He struck early with a big 60+ yard catch on the first play of the game and then all but broke Dallas with an amazing 91 yard TD in the fourth quarter. It was a simple out pattern that the CB Mike Jenkins tried to jump but missed. Jackson made the catch, turned up the field and was gone. It was the longest play from scrimmage in the NFL this season. Afterward he did this...
By the way, DeSean Jackson was flagged for "excessive celebration after the play." Was it excessive? Sure... Was it after the play? Nope... It seems like they just wanted to flag him. As far as I know there's no rule against excessive celebration during a play.
It looks like Stewart Bradley's injured elbow is going to keep him out for at least the remainder of the regular season. That's a tough blow for an already shaky defense especially considering that Bradley had finally started to look like his old self in recent weeks. Jamar Chaney did a solid job against the run tonight, but had his struggles against the pass. Of course, so does Bradley..
It was another three TD game for Michael Vick. It should tell you something about how this guy is playing this season when this wasn't one of his better games. He got knocked around like he has all year and kept answering the bell. He did have two picks tonight, one that was definitely his fault and one that was definitely not... He threw for 270 yards and two TDs while running for another. That rushing TD was his 7th of the year, which broke the Eagles franchise record for rushing TDs by a QB in a season. It’s pretty impressive for Vick to break that record for a franchise that has had running QBs like Donovan McNabb & Randall Cunningham playing for it, but it’s even more impressive when you consider that he did it in just eight starts…
Tashard Choice was so impressed with Vick, he asked for an autograph. Choice said he got the autograph for his nephew.
Todd Herremans had easily his best game of the season. He was flat out dominating on the final drive and generally played really well throughout... plus he caught a TD pass!
Gotta mention David Akers. Quietly has to be one of the team MVPs this season. He hit three FGs tonight, including one from 50 to keep the pressure on Dallas. In the end, three points was the margin of victory.
The defense... I could write a thousand words on what I thought about the defense tonight(maybe I will) but I'll keep it simple here. They did a great job against a Dallas rushing attack that has really played well as of late, but otherwise I thought they were poor. Dimitri Patterson did get a big pick in the fourth, but he also extended two Cowboys drives with bad third down penalties. The fourth down play on Dallas' last drive where two Eagles have Jon Kitna in their grasp and let him slip away to run for a first down was arguably the worst play I've seen from this team all year. If Michael Vick does that, you chalk that up to him being a special physical specimen. When Jon Kitna does it, you should be embarrassed. That play would have ended the game, but instead it lead to a Dallas TD and gave Dallas all the momentum with 4:22 left and down only three. Luckily the offense would shut the door, but that doesn't excuse the defense. Next week they'll hopefully get Asante Samuel back, but as I said earlier they'll be without Stewart Bradley.
Bottom line is... it's a win in December against the Dallas Cowboys and for now we're on top of the NFC East. That's a pretty good thing. Next up, the Eagles go on the road against the Giants in a game that could end up deciding the NFC East. The Giants will play the Vikings tomorrow night in Detroit.

Always thrilled to beat Dallas, but...
the defense still has issues, and now we can add Brandon Graham and Stu Bradley to the injury list, bad news before New York. Get better, Asante. Ernie Sims, sharpen up. Let’s go Vikings! Great win tonight boys. Champions win the close ones.

I think Brandon Graham should be alright. It looked like a sprained ankle. He should be alright after a week of rest (hopefully). Stu’s absence is troubling, though.
I was very impressed with chaney
Hopefully he can do even better next week since he is preparing as the starter. It amazes me how the FO picks up quality back ups so late in the draft

I don’t think we’ll see him again this season. Dislocated sholder he had a chance of being back in a week or two but elbow is a nasty nasty painfull injury. I’ll be shocked if I see him on the field before postseason god willing we make it.

I hate to say the “A word,” but that’s my fear. Anything less and I’ll be more than happy. Stew is an enormous loss.
I thought it looked more like a hyperextension.
he didn’t look like he twisted or anything too bad. Just kinda landed on it weird. Plus when he was on the ground, the trainers were moving it and bending it at the knee…
I’m no doctor but don’t you usually avoid doing that if you know it’s a tear cause it’ll make it worse?

Looked like he might have torn his annular ligament in his elbow. If so, that could be season ending.
Oh
I was talkin about graham.
Bradley’s was nasty. I don’t think he’s coming back.

they were testing Graham’s ACL on the field (you could see the trainer pulling on his lower leg…that’s the test for ACL tear). Who knows if it was positive or negative.
Reid said in the post-game presser...
That Graham had a “knee sprain.” No idea whether or not they’re sure about it, but he didn’t say anything about an MRI so hopefully it’s not as serious as it looked.

LB situation is even scarier then it was considering Clayton injured his hammy & bradley is out for the year.
OL depth is bad too. Dunlap didn’t look too good. Hope justice comes back fast.
I want to slap Reid and Marty. How the hell do you have Djax run 2 more end arounds after injuring his ankle and doing a 80 run for a TD??? Same can go with having Vick doing sneaks after getting beat up again all game.
I my favorite part was when desean said he was runing 60% on that 91 yard td pass

Yeah
Bradley is probably done for the year. Its likely he tore his annular ligament along with the dislocation of his elbow. Best wishes for his recovery. But that’s the last time we will probably see him this season.
For the record, Chaney played pretty well tonight.

The 15 yard penalty did not even hurt the Eagles. Ogletree only got the ensuing kick to the 23 yard line. And the following play was a Kitna INT.

I’m fairly certain unsportsmanlike conduct (i.e. taunting) is still a penalty. That’s what they should have called.

Doubt Andy would for that
… if a guy, with no one near him, can swan dive in from 3 yds out and not get a flag.. D10 shouldn’t have been flagged. They just making rules up as they go now. By the time the ball crossed the line, Jackson couldn’t do anything except let gravity take him to the ground, only way he could have avoided the ground (and the subsequent flag) was to defy gravity.

diving because you’re going out of bounds and reaching for the pylon is slightly different than what you see above.

The penalty was for a TD celebration in which the player falls to the ground…both got TDs…both hit the ground…
Polamalu wasn't celebrating
he was trying to score. Jackson technically was in the course of play, which made what the ref said wrong. It shouldn’t have been a celebration call, it should have been an unsportsmanlike taunting penalty. Same thing happens in either case, but one is the more correct call.

First of all, Kafka isn’t a wasted pick he is our future back-up QB. 2nd Graham and Te’o are still rookies, no way to say whether or not they will have good careers. Mario Williams was absolutely terrible in his first year, DE is essentially the QB of the defense in terms of the length of time it takes to make an impact for a draft pick. Give them time then judge.
BTW, 7-8 picks that contribute is an amazing draft.

Good game tonight, look forward to the rematch. Never thought I would see the day that the Eagles would be a power running team…but they shredded the Cowboys with Shady. The better team definitely won.
On another note, I’m in awe and jealousy of how much offensive production the Eagles get from their shuffling offensive line around…when the Cowboys lose even one starter the whole team falls apart. Must be the product of a good GM…

I REALLY HOPE "K"EVIN "K"OLB'S MIDDLE NAME DOESN'T START WITH A "K" TOO,THAT WOULD BE SCARY...
Early in the season we struggled against the run and took a look at our LB’s and made some changes, which vastly improved our run-d. I feel like we need to take another look and see what we can do in regards to improving our LBs pass pro. Is there anyone we can put in there thats an improvement over what we’ve got so we can have a better balance of D? I know the Bradley injury changes a lot in regards to the look of our LB group, but maybe there’s something I’m missing. Opposing TE’s and slot recievers are eating us alive, for big gains and in the red zone as well.

Great win
I don’t think the defense played as poorly as the score indicates. Made some stupid mistakes yes. But, they did what they set out to do which is make kitna beat them and stop the run. They succeeded in that and really handled the run all night minus the miles austin end around play. They also were a bit better in redzone defense. I don’t know why a dislocated elbow is such a bad injury? If that is all it is can’t they just pop it back into place and give him a week to heal? I guess the injury could be worse, we will know after the mri. Also, the cowboys better be dealt some hefty fines for some of their hits in this game. Especially the clear out of bounds hit on vick and of course the sandwich roughing the passer double helmet to helmet. But, the cut block from choice on bradley which caused the injury needs to be looked at by the league as well.
Cut block
was legal. He wasn’t engaged with anyone else. It sucks what happened, but it’s just a freak injury. Cut blocks are a part of the game.
hmmm

Dude dislocations are no joke.
For a bad dislocation the ligaments that hold the joint in place get stretched out, meaning that they need time to heal, and could be a recurring problem going forward for stewie.
graham is done...
too bad the eagles traded up to get him… looks like another mcdougall… funny thing but i don’t see belichek making that kind of mistake once let alone twice… maybe teo whatever his name is can step up he looks like a loser so far…

He is done for the rest of the year
not his career. Dude has plenty of talent…you gotta give him time to develop. And what are you basing that off of for Te’o? He hasn’t gotten much playing time yet which is understandable considering he is a rookie. Same thing with Sapp and Kafka…you don’t judge a draft one year after you complete it….come on man.

Just read a couple Cowboys blogs
and it turns out the win doesn’t count because Kitna started. Someone needs to tell the media and league because they’re all reporting an Eagles win!

Stat wise they’re the same person. Thats what the one graphic they showed last night said, except for the whole winning thing, thats only Kitna
I've been waiting my whole life for an Eagles Championship

The only thing that bugs me about this pic
Is King Dunlap’s sorry @$$ celebrating in the background—All he ever did was nearly get our QB KILLED last night. Apparently they CAN stack crap that high!
he's not
very good but he is big… i did see a few plays where he blocked fairly well…

He was also blocking Damarcus Ware, it’s not like Justice would have done any better, nobody can block that guy.

A couple of things:
The Eagles defense did not stop the Cowboys from scoring on the first drive. When the Cowboys were down in the fourth and really needed a score, they got one. Throughout the game, I saw Eagles defenders in position to make tackles and continuously miss them! So many Cowboys spun their way out of tackles that I thought the Eagles were trying to dance, and not play football.
The Offense sputtered a little here and there, but for the most part was dominant. This offense is more productive than Air Coryell or the Greatest Show on Turf Rams. The drive at the end to kill the clock was masterful.
The officials suck and the Eagles got burned on a couple of plays. The lack of a call on Vick being shoved when it was clear he was no threat to make more yards was the epitome of incompetence. Jackson needs to grow up.
Game was a little closer than I would have liked. Hard to get a read on the Cowboys, Wade Phillips is a joke. Hard to disagree when the assistant comes on and the team starts to win, even without their starting QB.
The Giants always play us tough, but I think that the Eagles are too much for them. Manning gets banged up pretty good when we play them. Should be our division and we seemed primed for the playoffs with a first-round bye.
if KK played behind this line
he’d be dead… give vick a lot of credit for survival

Ummm
The line played pretty damn good last night dude. What game were you watching? Especially in the second half.

I was watching a line that could pass protect….
Can’t complain about the run blocking though.
