Today is Dallas Week. The fact that the trade deadline was a few days ago and Dak Prescott won’t play will convince you that the Cowboys suck and Philadelphia Eagles They’re definitely cooking right now.

However, the week continues to progress and the news keeps coming. What happened in Eagles this week?

Saquon Barkley performed a jump, a spin move, and then a backwards hurdle in two seconds. It was definitely the coolest game of the season, probably the coolest game of the decade, and rivals Tony Hawk’s 900 for the coolest thing anyone has ever made.

That was just part of his 159 rushing yards in Week 9, as he also scored touchdowns on a sweet wheel route and a running back tied it up on third-and-17.

All of this added up to Saquon being named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week (unanimously by default) for the third time this season.

This is a very prestigious company. In 2010, Michael Vick was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after Week 9 (218 passing yards and one touchdown, 74 rushing yards and one touchdown), followed by Week 10 (333 passing yards and four yards). touchdown, 80 rushing yards and two touchdowns) and Week 15 (242 passing yards and two touchdowns and 130 rushing yards and one touchdown).

Saquon’s accolades this season came from Week 1 (109 rushing yards and two touchdowns, 23 receiving yards and one touchdown), Week 7 (176 rushing yards and one touchdown) and last week.

It’s only week 10. In the Eagles’ last nine games, they are playing six teams that are truly terrible at stopping the run. They played the Cowboys, who allowed the 11th most rushing yards in Weeks 9 and 17. They play the Commanders, who allowed the third-most rushing yards in Weeks 10 and 16. They play the Panthers, who allowed the most rushing yards in Week 14. They play the Giants, who allowed the fourth-most rushing yards in Week 18.

Now, these numbers are what these teams DID, not what they will do. Saquon destroys plays, so even in his three other games against the Rams, Ravens, and Steelers, Saquon should still be able to make all the runs he wants to make. These six games against bottom-tier run defenses are an opportunity for him to earn more NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. It seems strange to say that you can only win one more. It feels realistic to say he could win two or three.

Man, it is everything advertised and more. Can you imagine living a life where Saquon wasn’t wearing Midnight or Kelly Green? No, you can’t; This is ridiculous.

The Week 9 win against the Jaguars took its toll from an injury standpoint. The most important of these was that AJ Brown left the game with a knee injury. It’s scary because this is AJ’s second leg injury this season and we’re already past the bye week. If he misses more time there will be real games he will miss against higher quality or league teams. This is not good.

Luckily he and Dallas Goedert practiced on Wednesday, so that’s pretty nice. Unfortunately, there are other names on the injury report.

DeVonta’s hamstring is difficult to see and definitely something to keep an eye on. Nolan Smith is playing well and it stinks to see him miss practice, especially with a groin injury. Ben VanSumeren was a fullback, and you definitely don’t want a fullback to get a concussion. You want a fullback to block with Devil May Care level reckless abandon.

You also don’t like seeing Fred Johnson on the injury report. He is already a backup left defender when Jordan Mailata is out of action. Moreover, Mekhi Becton also had a limited ankle. If any of these guys don’t play or leave the game at some point, the offensive line depth will be greatly tested. Tyler Steen would be the emergency backup at either of these positions, but you really don’t want to see who’s behind him, especially if Micah Parsons starts playing for the Cowboys.

The big takeaway here is that there are plenty of players missing time on the injury report without permission to rest. The Eagles will need to come up with a strong offensive performance and finish this game early so their starters can rest for at least a quarter. This is a real possibility because the Cowboys are, at their core, a truly terrible football team.

Stress acne is real. If you want to avoid breakouts, you have to accept the fact that Nick Sirianni will make stupid decisions in-game and those decisions will either lose games or make games closer. than it should be. He also won’t be fired during the season.

You have to accept this. You don’t have to be happy about it, and you should definitely boo it and complain about it, but you need to accept it. It will make life much easier.

Despite all the terrible decisions he’s made this year, Sirianni’s players have led the team to a 6-2 record heading into the halfway point of the season. He’s not a good head coach in terms of scheme, game management and play calling, but his players love playing for him. This is the truth.

Nora Princiotti of The Ringer wrote: Tiered list of head coaches’ hot seats. Sirianni was listed as “Standing Quietly in the Corner Hoping No One Notices Them.” This sounds very close to the truth; It feels like that’s where we want Sirianni to be, but he’s doing his best not to be there.

It’s been a minute since we saw Nick’s press conference, where he went out of his way to say he made a very important and failed play call, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t do it.

Against the Jaguars, it was fourth-and-inches at the end of the third quarter, and instead of running the Brotherly Shove, the Eagles made some kind of play-action play that completely failed. We’ll probably never get confirmation, but this decision CALLED Nick Sirianni.

It would be great if Nick just stood in the corner and let everyone do what they do best, but that’s not the case. It’s mixed, it’s mixing, and it will continue to mix.

… but he shaved his head and the Eagles are now 6-2. It’s hard to argue with the results, but it’s easy (and justified) to complain about the process.
