I thought Dallas was going to come back when they got within 3.
I must admit, Dak would have been a much better option against the Eagles.
I look forward to Game 2 here...
I and Dallas fans should definitely NOT panic.
Still not at the half way mark yet. Dallas will definitely be in the mix.

The big issue with the running game, was it seemed dallas was not ready for the read option. They had no one on the outside to take the QB, so the DE couldnt crash down on the hb. Even so, they still held the Eagles to 3.5ypc, which is pretty good.
Was also not a fan of how they were defending the pass. The eagles thrive on those short slants, but our defense was playing off the WRs allowing them to have underneath stuff and allowing hurts to get the ball out quick negating the pass rush.
and yeah, parsons needs to be rushing the passer more. He had just 5 pass rush attempts the 2nd half. Some of that was due to the option game, but we should be able to cover that without taking our best pass rusher out of the pass rushing game.
