GET UP: EAGLES “LEFT THE DOOR OPEN” AND COWBOYS MADE THEM PAY HARD IN SHOCKING 21-0 COMEBACK

at home 2421 yesterday. Dallas now 55 and one. How did the Cowboys do this? How did they do it? Because the Eagles left the door open for the Dallas Cowboys to come back from being down 21. How the hell do you go up 21 points and run the ball nine times the rest of the game? How is that even possible? You were up by 21 points in the middle of the second quarter. And Saquon Barkley from that point on only has six rush attempts. In what world does that make sense, sir? You’re asking me the question I just gave you the answer. Mhm. It was Kevin Patulo, the offensive play calling for the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving the door jar for the Dallas Cowboys to get back in that game. And what happened? It bit you in the ass. Mike Greenberg said it last week on Get Up. He said the Eagles were begging for somebody to beat them. Mhm. The Dallas Cowboys were more than willing to oblige yesterday. Yeah, the Eagles certainly beat themselves in a lot of ways yesterday, but I don’t never want to beat yourself. Ne. Nope. You certainly don’t. And I But I also don’t want to in any way minimize what the Dallas Cowboys were able to do yesterday. And I know that it’s been an emotional couple weeks for them with the passing of Marshon Neland. They had the flag out there yesterday. They’re obviously not only playing for themselves, but playing for the memory of their teammate, too. And sometimes you when you have a galvanizing moment like that, you can see things in a different way. And this offense, we know it’s been potent this entire season. We were it’s the defense that we had concerns about. But for the Eagles to leave the door open like that, knowing that this Dallas Cowboys offense has those explosive plays, that they can put up points against you was a fatal flaw yesterday and it came back to bite them. All right, let’s talk about what the Cowboys did here more so because Dak Prescott, we’ve said it a lot. If that man is healthy, he’s really good. No if ends or buts. Like, as long as he’s healthy, he’s really, really good. And now he’s got another weapon. Yeah. And George Pickkins, which you know, you think about their weapons. You brought it up. CD Lamb, I know wasn’t great yesterday, but in general, CD Lamb, George Pickins, Jake Ferguson, like that that’s a good trio of guys to throw the football to. Um, the Dallas Cowboys led by Dak yesterday, he said postgame a comeback win like that was needed. That game was needed. And no, never never blinked, never had any doubt. and a thousand% believed from the beginning. I mean there there there was times right I’m telling guys believe believe and then there was a moment there in the fourth quarter where where a book goes believe and I go I know we’re done with the believe we’ve believed long enough and we’ve got ourselves back in this game like now you’ve got to know and so that’s just the it’s a testament to this brotherhood. Can they sneak into the playoffs? The schedule the Chiefs on Thanksgiving that’s Thursday at the Lions the Vikings the Chargers at the commanders at the Giants. Can the Dallas Cowboys at 55 and one playing the way that they’re playing right now? Obviously post trade deadline where they add Quinnon Williams to the mix here and they look Logan Wilson the linebacker their defense while it is not going to be confused with the 85 Bears anytime soon at least has pieces that are getting healthy and potentially could contribute. Can the Dallas Cowboys make the playoffs? They got a 10% chance to make the playoffs according to our FBI. I I I would say no. But to me, the win for the Dallas Cowboys has always been establishing an identity that you can have future success with. And to me, what they’ve done at the trade deadline by fortifying the defensive line, by adding a guy like Quinnon Williams, by adding Logan Wilson, who is a a great leader and communicator at the second level of your defense, by getting guys back healthy. Now you see the framework for a defense that’s going to be marketkedly improved from the unit that we saw in the first two months of the season. You also found out that you got a head coach in Brian Shottiman. For your team to be able to weather the early storm that the Eagles uh put on you yesterday. They tried the Philadelphia tried to overwhelm Dallas with a bunch of emotion. Dallas had a bunch of miscues early. The drop passes by CD Lamb, the fumble by Cavante Turpin. I don’t know why they’re deciding to use a wide receiver as a backup running back. That makes no sense to me cuz he’s not used to running the ball in between the tackles, but that’s beside the point. There were just self-inflicted wounds from Dallas early on that allowed Philly to jump out to that huge lead. The fact that the team didn’t quit, the fact that those guys didn’t go here we go again shows that they have the utmost respect for their head coach and Brian Shenheimer and he’s got them competing every single snap, every single series, every single quarter, every single half, every single game. And that’s exactly what you want. So this was a coaching hire that everybody laughed about when they made it, including me, hand raised. But this season, the way it’s played out, has proved Jerry Jones right in terms of him tapping Brian Shottenheimimer as his head coach. And do we also need to give him some credit for getting out of the way and letting Brian Shanheimimer be the voice, letting him do this the way he wants to do? Because we know Jerry Jones always likes to be in the spotlight. He always likes to meddle. Seems like he’s taking a backseat here. And let Shotti do what he needs to do. And it’s working out. They are building something. And as Dak pointed out, they have confidence in themselves. They believe in this team, which is something that you can directly point to when it comes to head coaching. And CC, you’re right. It was a tale of two halves for both teams yesterday. The Cowboys making those mistakes early, but rounding into form and taking advantage of the miscues that the Eagles had in the second half. The Eagles fell apart in the second half of that game. I look at the Cowboys now as if you don’t think they’re going to make the playoffs, which I agree. I I think it’s going to be too difficult to make the playoffs. If you look at post trade deadline, which was November 4th, was the trade deadline if I’m not mistaken. Tuesday, November 4th. They have eight games after that. In essence, the Dallas Cowboys started the 25 26 season with the second half of this year. They have a 25 game season next year. They just have eight games that count for this year. That’s how I look at it. They are building right now for next year. Yeah. And there’s going to be a lot of conversation. Do you resign George Pickkins? Oh, they’re going to resign him. They said they can’t resign him. They’re going to franchise tag him. So, he’s going to be in Dallas. So, he’s going to be in Dallas. And I I vehemently disagree with all of the people led by Hembo from Get Up who say, “Well, the Steelers could use a guy like this. This guy wasn’t that guy in Pittsburgh. Now, you want to take a shot at Mike Tomlin, go ahead. I’m not going to do that. But the version of George Pickkins we’re getting here on and off the field, and I know we got he got benched for the first series last week, but whatever. In general, the version of him we’re getting was not the same version we got in Pittsburgh. He seems happy. Yes, he needed a change of scenery. That happens at times for people. I will say this, although I don’t think the Cowboys will make the postseason, the games against Kansas City and Detroit that they have on deck certainly don’t feel as daunting as they once did earlier in the season. Those are two non-playoff teams, ironically enough. I’m just saying those games don’t feel as terrifying as they did back in September and early October. They definitely don’t. So, I mean, and that is the heart of the Cowboys schedule. They they just got to win against the Philadelphia Eagles. If they can find a way to go one and one over the next two games, then you’re finishing up your season home against the Minnesota Vikings, home against the LA Chargers, on the road against the Commanders and the Giants. Two teams that might already be tapped out. I They have an opportunity to make it real interest. Tonight on Dallas Game Day, we’re breaking down one of the most unbelievable, emotional, and flatout explosive wins the Cowboys have delivered in years. A game where Dallas went down 21- nothing. The national media wrote them off. Fans were frustrated. Analysts said it was over. And yet, this team refused to blink. And let’s call it what it was. Philadelphia left the door wide open, up 21 points in the middle of the second quarter. And somehow they ran the ball only nine times the rest of the game. Saquon Barkley had just six carries after that. It made no sense. It was irresponsible football. And the Cowboys saw it, recognized it, and walked right back through that open door with purpose, with fire, and with belief. But let’s make one thing clear. Dallas didn’t lock into anything. They earned every inch of that comeback. Dak Prescott played like a quarterback possessed. his leadership, his resilience, his refusal to accept defeat. That was the heartbeat of this win. You could feel it in the way he talked postgame. He said they stopped believing and started knowing. That’s the mindset of a leader who has lived through every criticism and still stands tall. And then you look at the weapons around him. George Pickins, who has instantly become one of the most electric playmakers this franchise has seen in years. back-to back monster performances, including a game-changing grab with defenders draped all over him. You give Dak a weapon like this, you give him the trust of his locker room, and this offense suddenly becomes one of the most dangerous units in the league. But the biggest surprise, the part nobody saw coming. This defense, a unit that couldn’t stop anybody earlier in the year, suddenly looks revived, refocused, and rebuilt. Adding Quinn and Williams changed the entire front. Logan Wilson added communication and toughness. And OSA Armstrong, everyone stepped up. Eight straight stops, eight against the defending Super Bowl champions. That doesn’t happen by accident. That happens because guys bought in. And on top of all that, this game carried emotional weight no stats can measure. The Cowboys played with the spirit of Marshon Neland on their shoulders. They carried his flag on the field. They played for each other. They played for him. And that emotion, that heart, you could see it in the second half when everything changed. Look, nobody knows if Dallas will make the playoffs. The math is hard. The road is brutal. But this win wasn’t just about standings. This was about identity. This was about belief. This was about a team that finally looks like it knows who it is and where it’s going. Cowboys Nation, I want to hear from you. Was this the turning point?
