Eagles Crush Cowboys Again, But Eliminated From Playoffs Anyway

ARLINGTON, TX - DECEMBER 24:  The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders perform during half-time at Cowboys Stadium on December 24, 2011 in Arlington, Texas.  (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)

Despite their playoff hopes coming to an end, the Eagles were still able to leave a nice little present under our Christmas tree with a 20-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Giants win over the Jets in the early game eliminated the Eagles from playoff contention, but any day we get to see the Eagles sweep Dallas in dominating fashion is a pretty good day.

The game was indicative of what we've seen from the Eagles over the past few weeks, which unfortunately has been too little to late. That said, it has been fun to watch. This defense, which was so maligned earlier this season (with good reason), has just been dominant and showed that once again today. They were just seven seconds shy of recording their first shut out in 247 games, but a blocked Chas Henry punt gave Dallas a short field.

The pass rush was one again overwhelming producing three sacks and knocking Tony Romo from the game in the first quarter. Some said that Romo may have returned if the game had meaning to Dallas, but given how badly Romo's right hand was swollen, that seems debatable.

On offense, it was another big game from Michael Vick who threw for 293 yards, 2 TDs and no picks. It should have been three, but Jason Avant fumbled a ball out of the end zone for the Eagles' leauge leading 36th turnover.

The Eagles will play the Redskins next week and the Cowboys will travel to New York for what is essentially an NFC East title game. Given how bad the Cowboys offense line was, how poor their secondary looked and the injury to Romo, the Giants have to be the favorites.

We'll certainly discuss this season in greater detail later. But for now, it's Christmas eve and we just embarrassed the Cowboys. Go have some fun and Merry Christmas!

I feel pretty empty after this win

I really only wanted to win this game just because it was the Cowboys, otherwise this was a pretty blah game to me. I think just after all the turmoil of this season, I’m just ready for it to end so we can get to the off-season. I know that’s bad, but its just like……whatever.

Oh well. Go Bulls!

The Cowboys certainly cared. That’s why Romo would’ve kept playing at least through the first half. That’s why most of the other starters remained in the game for the majority. That’s why everytime the camera panned over Dallas’ bench the players were looking depressed and frustrated. That’s why Rob Ryan spent 4 quarters looking like he wanted to commit suicide.

The Cowboys definitely wanted to avenge Game I by winning this game and going into the Giants game with some momentum. If you think otherwise then you’re lying to yourself.

Spags will have opportunities to be HC again. I don’t know where the idea came from that he’s going to pack his bags and hop on a plane to Philly or NY so he can be a defensive coordinator again. He wants to be a head coach and will probably exhaust all efforts at continuing to be one before he gives up and demotes himself.

Hi Philsforever. I responded to ZX2355. I don’t know who you are. But anyway, my point to him/her is that Cowboys fans are always saying ‘our team is better than the team that made it to the playoffs.’ Usually that is the Eagles. mvict made the point that the best team is the team that makes it to the playoffs, period. It is a good point.

While the Eagles came on strong at the end of the season, they simply are not the better team. The clock resets next year. Maybe then they will be. I feel like they have grown as a team in the past month, and while they have gelled, it is sad that they gelled too late to be the better team.

Next year they will be a somewhat different team with some changes to the coaching staff. . Maybe they will get good early enough to make it to the playoffs. Then the Eagles WILL be the better team.

We have lost every game, with the exception of he 2 to PHIL, by less than one score and lead in fourth quarter in most. So Dal is better than their record. Unless of course you mean that the Eagles “now” are better than their record for the season. Yeah maybe slightly, but they have not beat a team with record much better than .500 in these games, so tey arent exactly NE or NO…

True, but you can say that they are better than both the Cowboys and the Giants seeing as we now have a 4-1 record in our division and could finish 5-1.

I know the eagles needed to beat the mediocre teams more on their schedule. But if they beat washington next week and go 5-1 in the division they won’t be in the playoffs, but I doubt anyone will wonder who the best team in the NFC east was. Frustrating. Makes me wonder if the system is flawed. If a team dominates their division shouldn’t they win it despite the way they play against the other teams? I am not sure how they could change this, but just thinking out loud.

It’ll make it easier for me to believe we were the best team in this division this year. If the only team ahead of us was the one that we smoked twice, I’ll feel better about our chances next year.

As nice as it was to see this team playing and winning one last time...

It feels like we’ve been stabbed. So many expectations that got crushed early on and we began to grow numb watching loss after loss after loss. Then there’s that tiny glimmer of hope with this team’s defense finally coming together. A christmas miracle almost came to fruition only to have it be eclipsed by the oncoming dusk. I pray that this team holds the roster together and augments the defensive coaching to bring this same juggernaut of a defense for the entire next season from beginning to end. And please…resign DJax with a legit contract that’ll finally make him bring his true game to the field. Eagles all the way. Happy Holidays everyone and a Happy New year!

I disagree. Blaming 1 or 2 guys per game for a minute mistake isn’t the issue. Reid should’ve had his players in a better position to make plays.

His saying, as used to it as we are, is accurate. He dropped the ball, not Avant and Maclin.

Are you going to post

That the Eagles shouldjust throw games and try to lose? Yes or no? I feel completely frustrated by people that say we’re ruining our wonderfuldraft odds by winning games(?), but they obviously won’t comeout and say that the coaching staff should purposefully lose games, because they know how ridiculous that would sound. Throwing games is not what these people arepaid to do. It might suck for some people’s draft wet dreams that the Eagles are finishing strong, but good god, get over it – you want strong draft picks to watch the Eagles win games. Well, that’s what’s happening now. Be happy, not disappointed. Besides, how often does it go that a key draft pick ends up disappointing,or a disappointing draft pick works out? 6th or16th, we’ll see what we see. I’m rooting for the win over the Skins, a non-losing season, finishing second in the division, and a team riding a wave of confidence and cohesion into next year.

typical of the Eagles season - even when they won, they lost

all they had do to shut them out was execute a punt…or hand the ball off….aargh
well played game, great to see the sweep and domination of the Cowboys…54-14…you gotta love that
but it was a fitting end to the game of their elimination day
offense started strong and struggled in the 2nd half….offense needed to execute in order not to put the defense back on the field and didn’t, defense needed to make a stop at the end, and didn’t.

guys - take a moment to consider what a post actually says and means first

- read the Andy Schwartz article “Birds wanted badly to blank the Cowboys” cited by a JasonB…hey, could you be that same JasonB?….:)
…“we wanted it real bad”, “we wanted it bad man”, “shutouts do not happen in this league, so it sucks”…i could be wrong but as i read the actual words printed, and what they imply, i’m going to go out on a limb and say that the Eagles would have strongly preferred to make those last executions and get the shut out"
- you weren’t even slightly disappointed to come within 7 seconds of shutting out our hated Cowboys at home for the first time since what ‘91?
- did you enjoy seeing Miles Austin spike that football and putting him in a position to do so by not gaining one more first down or executing a simple punt
-
never said I was “pissed”…..did say it was a “well played game”….guess it was hard to discern that from the full volume of my 6 sentences
- the Eagles seemed to be…read the Andy Schwartz article JasonB cites- – they “needed” to do these things to get a shutout.. that’s a fact, chief, not an opinion…not to win the game obviously
- it was a fitting end – they did a ton of things right but still need to finish on a high note, finish stronger than they start, both games and seasons….unless i’m mistaken, they lost a few games this season by not executing right through the final gun ? maybe

While I thoroughly enjoy being at Cowboy Stadium when the Eagles stomp on the Cowgirls, this time there was an empty void after the win. The only…stress only…..thing that could add some substance to this year is if the Giants beat the Cowgirls next week. Then I can say, “54-14, beotches”, and Cowgirls fans are denied the arguement, “At least we made the playoffs.” Although they will always use the “Five Super Bowl Rings” arguement.

Technically we aren’t eliminated from the playoffs we need the cowboys and the giants to both tie and we r in but the chances are soo slim that’s not likely to happen (2008 vs cincy)

by deseanjaxson10 on Dec 24, 2011 11:20 PM EST reply actions  

actually, no

if that happened, Giants would be 8-7-1 & we’d be 8-8, a half game behind the Giants.

we’re eliminated officially. we’ll be good to go next year though. take solace in that.

Right

Giants would win by a half game.

at least this team made improvements

no matter what way you look at it, we are definitely better than we were at the beginning of the year. at least we saw the eagles give two shits and try their best out there. i saw some great leadership and heart out there from philly. we can use this as momentum towards next season. for example, last time we finished 8-8 we closed the season out on a three game win streak. and we went on to the nfc championship the next year. i know i’m being optimistic, but i am confident that our team will perform at a high level next year.

Dude, I’m with you. I feel much better about this team into next year than at any other point.

You had every reason to get your hopes up...

But the Jets lost. What’s there to blame the Eagles about there? And god, wish people would stop bitching about draft picks.

@ the guys bitching about draft picks

You remind me of the people who say “well I make more money on unemployment”.

Have some self-fucking-respect.

I agree

It’s nonsense. And like I said earlier, go ask the Lions of this season whether the way they ended last year was meaningless. Ask them if they should have tanked for a few slots higher in the draft.

I think they’d say no.

It’s really a stupid thought anyway you slice it. You can’t ask players to not try to win. We’re already playing most of the young players already and you simply can’t sit perfectly healthy veteran players in an attempt to tank for draft picks. That’s just not done. How could those guys ever trust the coach again?

At best, you could sit a marginal player in favor of a young player… but that’s already been done. So how are the Eagles supposed to have lost these games?

I'm not rooting for the team not to try

I’m just rooting for them to lose

Prediction: the 3-4 will be out of style in two years.
So no, I will not shut up about stupidity.

What die hard fan seriously gives a flying fuck about meaningless games over a chance of getting a MUCH BETTER PLAYER IN NEXT YEARS DRAFT?

can mother fuckers think past tomorrow?

JoeD AKA The Voice Of Reason

by Joe_D on Dec 25, 2011 7:36 AM EST up reply actions  

Can’t you think past the draft?

Losing is losing. It brings out the worst in people. It means there’s something seriously wrong in a franchise and that the team is further away from winning than they really are.

Higher and lower draft position is nice, but teams can get it done over a decade while still being a winner. The Patriots have. The Steeelers have. New Orleans has had some turn over, as and the packers stayed incredibly deep.

I know Jodi that you’re all doom and gloom and super hyperboyle is your thing, but growing a losing culture is counter-intuitive to winning a superbowl. Quite simply, we’re a better team for winning the games we did. Its not satisfying, missing the playoffs. It is satisfying knowing this team is at least moving in a positive direction.

I would like to thank my hands for being so great, for allowing me to type this post.

by corn on the kolb on Dec 25, 2011 11:52 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Exactly!

Do you think the players give a shit about the draft? They don’t. They have pride and no one likes losing. They want to win regardless of their record and are going to compete every Sunday.

“Losing is losing. It brings out the worst in people. It means there’s something seriously wrong in a franchise and that the team is further away from winning than they really are.”

exactly so get a fucking high draft pick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wooo hoo, we won a game, it means fucking nothing, like a preseason game..

funny u said the players dont care about the draft…there are players who could probably care less if they win or lose. they are not emotionally tied to a team like we are..its all about a paycheck.

im not doom and gloom, its called common sense. its not very prevelant around here, and it has gotten worse and more and more people join, especially people who have been fans for like 3 years ,read PFO and pFF and think they know everything about football.

Joe

I agree that a lot of players are only in it for a paycheck (Desean) and personally would like to see the team get the best draft position they can if they’re not making the post season, but the reality is that it doesn’t matter what us fans think the team is going to try and win games even after being eliminated. Also I don’t know what the hell PFO or PFF is and i’m not trying to say I know everything about football because I don’t. I’ve been an Eagles fan for a long time man and I would LOVE to see the Eagles in a position to draft a stud LB in the first round. Here’s to hoping it comes true.

It was mentioned already, but I don’t think it can be stressed enough: unless the Cowboy and Giants tie, WE DON’T PLAY THE BEARS NEXT YEAR. Thanks, Santa.

Montrae Holland

Does someone have an animated gif of Holland falling over backwards after pretending to being pushed by Cullen Jenkins? Please? And thanks in advance!! The commentators actually came back to the fall after a commercial break and played in slow mo. Jenkins facial expression was priceless.

Sure....

We didn’t get to the playoffs.But winning the boys twice is still sweet.
Knowing we have solid potential going into next year is another positive.
Knowing Dalls and or Giants have 0 chance of making it to the bowl is small consolation.
Losing draft positioning doesn’t upset me that much , since there is no telling who is taking whom before us.And its not like a 10 position drop will kill our next season.

I hope you all had a wonderful Xmas and enjoy the New Year.

It's never easy being an Eagle fan........but I'll be damned if I ever stop.

the day we only score 3 points with this offense, is the day ill give everyone a dollar haha
