Dal played us a pretty even game, and barring those 2 INTs, who knows who would have won. As for playcalling, kyle just seemed to be AOL until 2nd half, but maybe the DAL DL was the cause. 2nd half, once again, Kyle came alive and called a great game. He actually had a pass to #i85 in the next to last DAL drive, and Kittle caught it for a 1st down. That officially broke DAL back. But kyle risked a pass when he was trying to eat clock, so good on him. Last yr, he shied away from a risk like that. Also, either the DAL: DL was spectacular the first half or kyle didn't call many …if any…good run blocking plays. In 2nd half we saw quite a few. Was that kyle or was it the DaL DL? Probably both.
To even come close to beating PHilly, we have to play better , KS has to call a great game both halves, and Brock has to be focused both halves. We had better personnel and better coaching than DAL and they still almost won. We gotta do better than that in Philly or we don't win. Worse, we are playing a running QB, who we usually play poorly against.
My sensational brilliance tells me Dallas' 2nd in the league DVOA dominant defense was the cause. Dallas has a great defense, which has the exact type of players to shut down our run game, and they put four safeties on the field, giving them fast guys who are capable of playing like linebackers. It was as much the PA game as time and fatigue which began to break their run defense.
