Your NFC East Divisional Banger (and Open Thread))

Who will earn the right to lose in the conference finals to the Niners? That’s the question being answered this evening. Two truly horrid fanbases come together (present company excepted of course) to boot!

To The Game!

Eagles/Cowboys:

-This certainly seems like another game where Philly’s pass D gets exposed like a Kissinger on a mortuary table. (bad image, scotchy, Jesus!) CeeDee and even EeeFgee will get into the action. Dallas is the more complete team but the things that the Eagles do well they do very well.

-One thing I like about both teams (within reason) is their ability to put points on the board with splash plays downfield.

-Dallas Goedert is back after being on the Ouch Report for three weeks. Philly’s pass game now has a threat in the middle of the field and that should give Smith and Brown a little more wiggle room.

-If Dallas wins tonight they’ll be on top of the division but if each team wins out Philly takes it based on a better conference record. Weird. I like the latter’s chances more because they have yet to play the Giants so that should be two W’s right there and they have the Cards as well. Dallas has the Bills and Fins coming up after this in consecutive weeks.

-Another flaw that the Philly possesses is that their red zone D is ranked 29th in the league.

-Given the way they’ve run up the score on several teams, I’m a bit surprised that the Cowboys “only” rank fifth in total yards gained.

It’s all yours now.
