FIRST THINGS FIRST | NFC East crown will go to the Cowboys by causing an upset vs. Commanders – Nick

The Cowboys head into Washington where they are almost two touchdown favorites their last matchup was on Thanksgiving where the Cowboys feasted on Turkey postgame and tomato cans during the game 4510 route Sam Howell threw for 300 yards though and one touchdown to Don Bland who was not on his team so brew

That was the Cowboys a game on Thanksgiving it’s a Cowboys F game on the board well look I’m going to start off by giving Cowboy Nation some good news wow oh it is a tomato can all right Washington’s a tomato can and we know what the Cowboys do coach to Tomato cans

So that’s a good sign great sign the other problem though is that there are bad signs as well it’s on the road and Dallas is darn near a tomato can on the road right they tomato can and Jason three and five all right and Nick Nick

Nick has spoken this week coach like the Cowboys are just rolling thank you they’ve lost two of their their last three games the one win was questionable it was it was controversial all right there there was a Terri that affected both teams the tripping call happened first and was

Agous right and that would have ended the game and then there was the two-point conversion Miss saying I’m just saying it it wasn’t a great win and I thought they got outplayed but for the great 92 yard play which was great play by Dak and CD uh yeah and um the great

Drive in the fourth quarter but all that said they Nick they also haven’t scored more than 20 points in three weeks hello all right this is a team that its offense is supposed to be great because the defense can be run on so and F games on the board I’m not predicting the

Upset I don’t know if anybody up here is I’m not predicting the upset but an F game is definitely on the board coach correct yeah it shouldn’t be it absolutely shouldn’t be on the board but but it’s on the board and if it’s an F

Game it’s going to stand for find a new job because it’ll probably get McCarthy fired because then they’re going to have to go on the road and it’s going to be if if you lose this game and and that’s that’s part of the problem is they the commanders have nothing to lose they’re

Playing loose they’re playing for their head coach is probably not going to be there they can they can just do whatever they want to do where Dallas is going to be pressured up the whole game can I push just just a hair cuz like I know we’ve been talking about they have

Nothing to lose and I forgot I’m like oh shoot they’re currently have the a number two pick which is like quarterback time or if they win and the Patriots lose they’d flop all of a sudden they’re out of the quarterb there’s not a player or coach who that

Because none of them outside of the the guys who have long-term big contracts nobody knows if they’re going to be there when the administration and the coach is right because the coach is going to get blown out so but all right so here’s the problem guys and I the I I

Got I got irritated yesterday I apologize I raised my voice at coach which I don’t like to do I ra my Wilds I raised my voice at Wilds which I should do more often but I the here the reason I was frustrated was because if we are talking about this being you know

Oh got to be careful then what you’re saying is every game it’s just every game because if the Cowboys and this we did this off the air it’s like hey guys we win we lock up the two seed it has to be on the road cuz that’s how the

Schedule is your number one pick of who you want to play they’d probably pick Carolina and their number two pick would be this team yeah and so we have a team we all agree is somewhere between good to very good in the NFL and a team that

Is either the worst second worst or third worst team in the NFL and then Coach brought up Ghost of Christmas Past that the Patriots Dolphins in 2019 so I that’s that’s a long time ago 2019 might as well be the 1800s it never happen it’s not but so here’s the thing about

That so I then looked it up I was like okay since then what have been these exact scenarios a team can get the one or the two seed is playing all the end of year games or divisional opponents and how’s it gone in 2019 nor New Orleans playing Carolina was terrible to

For the two seed New Orleans won by 32 in 2020 Green Bay Chicago for the one seed Green Bay One by 19 in 2021 Tampa Carolina for the two seed Tampa 1 by 24 last year San Francisco Arizona the Niners won by 25 Minnesota Chicago which

Was potenti two seed Minnesota 1 by 16 can City Las Vegas Kan city 1 by8 and Buffalo New England Buffalo 1 by 12 I say that to say this brw we only remember the times the underdog wins because it’s so rare and so no the Cowboys are not going to squander the

Two seed by losing to Sam Howell but you went back to that exact scenario i i i cited the game with Jackson Indianapolis which was another 14-point favor that L coach the difference there is that Indie team was not good that Indie team was nine and eight that is they were they

Were good enough for Vegas to say your 14-point favor I understand that and that was probably an indictment on Jacksonville at the time post Urban Meyer I get that but I’m talking about an actual good team a team fighting for the one of the two seed the last team

That they’re not schizophrenic you don’t win 12 games or 11 games by being schizophrenic but a team that the coach has issues with clock management a team that win big pressure field games are being played they seem to end strangely a team that hasn’t been good on the road

The quarterback hasn’t been good on the road they’ gotten blown out bad teams on the road they blown here you I got a that graphic on the road there we he’s a different quarterback now he’s playing like one of the best quarterbacks in the league obviously at home but on the road he

Struggles they played last they played last year January 8th 23 here was the quote from Micah Parsons before the game our focus should be on beating Washington if we don’t finish what we’ve got to do this week what does it matter what the Eagles do I think everyone’s focus should be on

Washington 266 commanders yes because that game the Cowboys wow that’s crazy except for the fact that last year’s commanders were a 500 team last year not when they played they were below 500 then they beat okay they were seven and they were seven eight and one as opposed

To getting the two pick the Cowboys going into that game were damn near locked into the two seed I’m the five seed pardon me and were Perman locked when at halftime of both their games the Giants were down 6 nothing to the Eagles so the idea that they’re the same

Scenario they are not so here is my question for the group before we move on since this is a losable dangerous game the Cowboys covering and winning will will make everyone at this table more confident in this yes yes Brew not really okay Coach yeah i’ be more confident so it’s

Win by 15 by 14 is what it would be are they in Nick’s picks what are they in Ni I guess you’re going to have to wait and find out I bet I’m excited to see brew a few weeks ago you wanted the Eagles to finish with three wins and two blowouts

Instead you got a squeaky win over the Giants on Christmas and a loss to the Cardinals straight up last week so would a blowout win mean anything now coach is sh no coach it’s just two two I don’t really understand listening to coach though I

Want to go three the way coach builds up he he builds up these Eagles what’s the question wild the question is would a blowout win mean anything um look it won’t make up for three B what’s been I mean it’s been more than three weeks but this these three weeks were supposed to

Be the Renaissance this was supposed to be when you together and rolled into the playoffs beating three tomato cans instead they lost one of the games they barely won the other and they lost probably lost the two seed we’ll see so it won’t make up for that unless Dallas

Loses but I gotta be honest if they go out there and blow the doors off of the Giants I’m talk I’m not talking about two touchdowns I’m talking about 40 to 14 37 to to to 15 or something like that nine all right whatever that I think

Means something what about 40 to nothing yeah like what Dallas did when they went to the giant I mean d look Dallas we know what Dallas is about right and then two weeks later lost Ariz yeah two weeks ler Arizona but my point is this the Eagles Co this is what they’ve been

Searching for this has been like the Holy Grail all year when they were even 10 and one it was still we’re not blowing anybody out we’re not playing well if at the end I don’t care who it is it could be us all right if they blew

Us out this is what they’ve been searching and so if they blow the Giants out then I think everything else coach even if they’re the fifth seed I think they’re going to be feeling like all right we’re here it’s been a rough ride it was ugly and we had some fights and arguments
