Got his bag and I’ve forgotten he’s on the field. Half a sack in six and a half games. No big plays. A few tackles a game. He’s playing like a sandwich.

Thanks for all of your suggestions here, even the so-called free thinkers recommending brisket cheesesteaks when I said in my post that I'd already covered cheesesteaks.

I have also done a lot of BBQ already to represent Texas teams, so I wanted to go a bit of a different route and honor Texas' fair food culture.

So, I present to you, the "NFC F-East", a combination of the corn dog (invented at the Texas State fair) and Chickie & Pete's crab fries, in the style of a Korean corn dog.

We've got a smoked pork sausage, wrapped in a wheat-based batter, rolled in potatoes and panko, and deep fried. Afterwards, it's dusted with Old Bay and drizzled with a white American cheese sauce.

One of the best creations this season and by far the most indulgent.

Am I the only one that thinks we are going to win this game? Not saying we are going to destroy them but I really do have faith in Tanner McKee tonight and with Barkley back it will open up the pass game tremendously. Cowboys defense has been shakey and they gave Tampa bay their only win coming into this week. I think 17-10 gets the W tonight. What do you think?

I've been watching the NFL Network Monday Night Football broadcast over ESPN broadcast and I've been enjoying it so much more. Has anyone else switched over to check it out? I didn't even know they did a separate broadcast until last week.

Both teams are 2-4 and the Giants won Sunday, so whoever loses tonight is 2-5 and two and a half games back in the East. The Eagles have lost four straight (Bears, Rams, Jaguars, Panthers); Dallas has lost two. Numbers through week 6, injuries off Saturday's final report plus today's roster moves. Inactives come around 6:45 PM ET.

Game total 44, team totals Dallas 24.2 and Philadelphia 19.8 (consensus of 11 books, as of 11 AM ET Sunday). The Eagles' number is the 6th lowest team total of the week.

Dak Prescott. 41 attempts a game, most in the league (Brissett is next at 40), and 54 of them in Green Bay last week. Dallas throws on 71% of its plays, also the most. The Eagles' side of that: Nolan Smith is out with a concussion and Jonathan Greenard (ankle) didn't practice Friday or Saturday and called himself a game-time decision, so it could be Ebiketie and Jalyx Hunt (also questionable) on the edges. The counter is Dak himself: two interceptions in each of the last two games, both losses.

CeeDee Lamb. 11.5 targets a game, 2nd among receivers behind Nacua, with 18 at Green Bay and 21 in Houston. He has 28% of the targets over the last four. The Eagles have been the 7th softest defense against receivers once you adjust for the offenses they've faced, and the 4th most over usual in the last four games. The two Eagles defensive backs who are out (Michael Carter II, Jakorian Bennett) are backups; every starter in that secondary is in.

George Pickens has 22% of the targets and 130 yards against Tampa two weeks ago;

Ryan Flournoy had 9 targets covering for Turpin, who's out again (ribs).

Saquon Barkley is questionable (hamstring), limited Thursday and Friday, full on Saturday, and Garafolo had him "trending in the right direction" at lunchtime. The matchup is the best thing on the Eagles' side of the card: Dallas allows backs 104 rushing yards a game, 29.5 over what those backs usually get, 2nd most in the league adjusted. If he sits again, Dameon Pierce had 92% of the carries last week (and 5 targets). The honest caveat: Dee Winters, a starting inside linebacker, is out for Dallas, so tonight's front isn't quite the one that gave those yards up. Elijah Mitchell was elevated from the practice squad this afternoon.

Tanner McKee makes his second start and first at home. Last week: 26 of 45 for 215, 4.8 an attempt, one score, no interceptions. The Eagles score 17.7 a game, 29th. DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are both out, so the receivers are Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore and Hollywood Brown. Lemon's snap share has gone up every week since September (81% the last two games) and he out-snapped Smith last week, but the targets have been short ones and his yards haven't followed. **Dallas Goedert** had 8 targets last week and is the obvious outlet; Dallas is in the toughest third against tight ends adjusted, though Winters being out eats into that too. Landon Dickerson, Grant Calcaterra and Eli Stowers were activated from IR today.

Hot take: the Eagles' opening is on the ground, not through McKee. Second softest run defense in the league adjusted, Pierce at 92% of the carries when Barkley sat, and a quarterback averaging under 5 yards a throw. Grade it tonight: do the Eagles' backs combine for 120+ rushing yards?

Well I have waited my whole life to see the Eagles in person so I could wait to see them play the cowboys on Monday night on my birthday...early November. I am from California and have not been surrounded by my people, also 46 so starting to age.

The day the schedule was released, I was busy at work and did not get to see who we played until late that night, around 830 and saw we played the cowboys on Monday night and thought weird the NFL is very interested in this match up. When I looked closer I saw that there was a late October game...stayed up until 3 booking flight, hotel and then tickets...

Philly is so beautiful and amazing and unfortunately I have to leave tomorrow morning for an emergency back home.

I would like to give me tickets to someone that would use them and hopefully a father and son or daughter so you can create memories!!!

My tickets are Section 128 Row 26 seats 5 and 6...please in true philly spirit reach out if you have a son or daughter to create this memory with.

2. What did you make of Sirianni being the only Eagles official to speak publicly about it?

Berman: It’s how the team wants it. Their position is that the two statements provided are the extent of their public comments, and that Sirianni — the spokesperson of the team during the season — can ably deflect the questions (and take any of the accompanying criticism on the chin). There’s a degree of plausible deniability in saying you’re not a medical expert. As a reporter, I would have liked to ask questions and understand the perspective of general manager Howie Roseman and/or chief medical officer Arsh Dhanota on the Eagles’ process before and during the trip to London. As mentioned above, there’s a sensitivity to Hurts’ privacy. I think discussing their process is different from discussing the specifics of Hurts’ medical condition. It would help with transparency. That doesn’t seem to be the Eagles’ objective, and that’s their prerogative. Without information, you invite speculation.

Kubena: The Eagles clearly had no interest in sharing any information with the public beyond the joint statements they had issued with Hurts and his agent. In every step of this process, the Eagles have said they are respecting someone’s medical privacy. Not every organization operates the same way. On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs made their head athletic trainer, Rick Burkholder, available to reporters to read a detailed account of why they placed offensive tackle Josh Simmons on injured reserve. Burkholder did not take questions. It is important to point out that Burkholder’s availability — which is a rarity in Kansas City — offered no more information than what could have been gleaned from a statement like the Eagles’. It kept coach Andy Reid from having to field questions he couldn’t answer. Such a move by the Eagles would have benefited Sirianni, not any public interest in further transparency. Teams are typically leery of sharing more than players authorize them to say — even when a question is simply about the team’s generic process, apart from the specific player — which is why a follow-up investigation generally better serves the goal of transparency.

“Mannion instructed the entire offense to arrive at the practice facility earlier than usual Monday morning.

Instead of breaking into position groups, more than 40 offensive players gathered in the team’s large film room. Mannion then walked through all 64 offensive snaps from the Panthers game, breaking down what went wrong and holding players accountable to their mistakes. The game review as an entire offense took an hour and a half.

The offensive players were then instructed to go to their position group rooms where they watched the entire game ... again.

Mannion was accountable about the mistakes he made in play-calling against Carolina, but his primary focus was on the opportunities players left on the field.”

Hey folks,

As a European Eagles fan, today will be my first tailgate ever at the Lincoln. What time is it advised to arrive? I will take the metro, should I take all the supplies with me, or are there vendors in the parking lot as well? Any useful recommendations are welcomed.

Dallas sucks and Go Birds!
