"The Eagles are due a loss. A bad loss. They've been outgained in eight of their games. The biggest plays AJ Brown has made this year have been on social media. The head vibes coach has seen two players retire shortly after joining the team, and they dragged another guy out of retirement to help the locker room vibes. Two weeks ago in a close prime time game they pooped their pants in late game management, and then the next week they did it again."
"Despite having a Goliath team, the Eagles play a David strategy of shortening the game. Every Eagles drive feels like they're trying to kill the clock with a 4 point lead at the end of the game. The Eagles are 25th in plays per drive, and 22nd in points per drive. The coaches have made a conscious choice to play as few plays as possible despite having a talent advantage."
The Eagles have been outgained in eight games and rely on few big plays, with roster turnover and late-game management mistakes undermining performance. Recent collapses in close prime-time games and unconventional roster moves have sown instability. Coaching choices favor shortening games: the Eagles rank 25th in plays per drive and 22nd in points per drive despite strong offensive talent. That conservative approach limits possessions and scoring opportunities. The Cowboys can counter by maintaining high tempo and efficiency to generate an extra possession. Dallas ranks 10th in plays per drive and 4th in points per drive, positioning them to exploit pace advantages.
