Four of their six losses have been by seven points or less, and the inability to make defenses respect their quarterbacks, or get a stop at the right time on defense, will keep sinking this ship until Tony Romo returns.

“He hasn’t been with us for the amount of time that a few of the other guys have”, Kelly said.
Much of the early-season struggles were to be expected.
“But certainly to the extent that we know if we won out or win a significant part of these games, we know that the same things have impacted us could impact any of these teams ahead of us”. I think what I loved most was his nonchalance in his post-game interview. He had a this-is-what-I’m-supposed-to-be-doing attitude and it was genuine. Man, I’m pulling for this kid. “I’m not a doctor, but that’s what they told me”. When Orlando Scandrick was lost with a season-ending injury during training camp, the cornerback situation was an area of concern.
This is the moment a furious Dallas Cowboys fan knocked out a Philadelphia Eagles fan who later turned out to be his own brother. Games 2-4 all seem like must wins. Despite those drops, his 48 receptions through eight games has him on pace for 96 receptions, which would be a franchise record. “I’ve been on teams where you can’t make adjustments and it’s the same story for the whole game”. However, I didn’t realize that this kid is a star. And just as that unit was starting to play better, the inability of Peters to stay healthy is a huge concern, especially due to a lack of depth there.
Week one, Dez Bryant breaks his foot. He has been inconsistent and not made many plays.
“When we’re able to get DeMarco and Ryan and Darren [Sproles] going, it kind of changes the outlook for the entire game”, tight end Zach Ertz said. “We had both the run game and the pass game going in the second half and when we’re balanced and playing fast like that, that’s what we want to do”.
-Ok, Caleb Sturgis. We see you.
“We’ll pick our heads up after that last game with the Giants and see if we’ve won enough games”, Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. Hopefully he’s getting confidence because this Eagles team can not afford to have a poor kicker.
I’m not going to try to convince myself that the team is setting the stage for an epic finish. He completed 25-of-36 passes for 295 yards and a touchdown, one that would win the game for Philadelphia in overtime. So the normally stoic Murray had to admit it was a special night. They also likely should have found a way to beat the Saints with Manning throwing six touchdowns.
McFadden has been a breakout player for the Cowboys. “If there’s any year for us to have the depth that we have, I think this would be the year for the LBs. Don’t let the noise, distractions and all that affect how you play”.
Against the Dallas Cowboys, Bradford was a terrific.
-Is Brandon Graham coming on? He was way too quiet early in the season, but he’s been making plays on a weekly basis now for about a month.
Now, having Matt Cassel at the helm, the Cowboys’ offensive attack greatly improved.
The Eagles were clearly running the ball well last night. I would probably be much like this if I were one of the lucky 32 paid a king’s ransom to coach a National Football League team.
-It is really, really hard for me to get excited about this team.
It might take at least 10 wins for a team to win an NFC wild-card spot, and the Cowboys won’t reach the playoffs if they don’t win the division. Instead of the customary three-and-out with a punt on their first possession they had two three-and-outs and a punt, thanks to a running into the punter penalty by the Cowboys. He is a physical specimen that looks like he’s ready to run through a wall.
“Every morning, hitting the rest button and saying whatever we did yesterday, it doesn’t matter”. Lee, a middle linebacker, has dealt with numerous injuries, but under the NFL’s concussion protocol he will need to be closely monitored. I think I know what they were talking about.
The Eagles took a 14-7 lead midway through the third quarter with a quick 95-yard drive. It was well into the second quarter and I wasn’t even sure if he had played yet. Here’s to a speedy and full recovery for the kid, because next season he’s going to be a really fun player to watch. He finished the game 25 for 38 with 299 yards, and three touchdowns.

-Cole Beasley hadn’t caught a ball in two weeks. But Claiborne has performed admirably, often times taking on the opponent’s top wide receiver.
