Immediate thoughts after this game

Here are my immediate thoughts after this game. Firstly, I think this counts as a signature win for Dak. Going against an Eagles team who clearly will be finishing the regular season with a winning record. What a game by the team, and especially for a much maligned Dak Prescott. People were asking when he would have a signature win. I say, mark this day on your calendar. This was a signature Dak win. He’s great against division opponents, and this game adds to that. Especially against Philly. Honestly, he has become one of the best QBs in the league. Whatever McCarthy taught him this season, he needs to keep it up. It’s doing wonders with Dak. Why did we have Jason Garrett and Kellen Moore influencing Dak for so long?

Secondly, can we start calling Ferguson "Paycheck 2"? From what I have seen (I was born in late 92) of Novacek, Ferguson seems to have some similarities. He’s a great safety valve for Dak, and his abilities after the catch are amazing.

Thirdly, Brandon Aubrey is such a weapon!! He might be the best kicker in the league, and he was playing in games (a few of which I saw, including the USFL Championship game here in Ohio) during the NFL offseason. What a great signing he’s been!

Fourthly, I want to give Mike McCarthy a massive tip of the cap. I mentioned this earlier, but he’s been sensational with Dak. I know he gets maligned on here. I, for one, think it’s largely unfair. The job he’s done with Dak, especially now that he has control of the playbook, has been incredible. He deserves to be in the running for coach of the year. I’m dead serious about this. He’s done wonders for Dak. Don’t just take my word for it. Aaron Rodgers, who played for Big Mac, said on the Pat McAfee show recently about how brilliantly Dak has played of late. He referenced a play that we ran that McCarthy had them run in Green Bay. I think he’s aware of how good McCarthy can be for a QB if he has playbook control. On top of that, he did this on a very difficult week with his appendix. To go from being in hospital having a procedure done to still being on the sideline at the weekend to calling a masterclass against Philly? Bravo!!!!! Fair play!!!! Well done!! Honestly, why didn’t we give him control sooner? He’s turning (and I mean this in all the best ways) Dak into Aaron Rodgers with his play. The way he’s taught Dak to see the field is mesmerizing to watch, and it’s, I think, why Rodgers was saying that Dak is becoming one of his favourite QBs to watch.

Finally (I could go on, but I’ll leave it to 5 points), Brilliant job Dan Quinn!! Well done keeping Philly to two! Yes TWO!! Philly Shove plays this game. Want to stop the Shove? Don’t let them get to 3rd or 4th and short! Brilliant! Our defence deserves all the credit in the world for how well they played. All in all! Brilliant team win.

Always fun to see us dominate, and that’s especially the case against Philly. Well done!! Cry Eagles Cry!
