Defense bails McCarthy out on that stupid 3rd down call.

his clock management is nonexistent

I'll admit I thought Seattle was going to convert when they had trips right with Dallas 5 yards off the line but thankfully they screwed up and left Micah unblocked.

That was bizarre. Maybe the Seahawks were too scared to try to block him...

Johnathan Hankins leads the team in sacks over the past two weeks with 3.

I'd trust Dak and Micah with my kids

Wish we could see Mazi more but Hankins has proved to be a heck of a pickup

In the first half, Seattle completed 6 of 7 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns when Daron Bland was the nearest defender, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. His previous high in that category this season was 120 yards -- which came last week against Washington.

This is what worries me. How good is he really outside of the interceptions? He needs to figure it out soon because it could get you beat against one of these better teams.

How good are the safeties? I've been disappointed in them this year overall. They've been average to above average to my eye test.

Jourdan Lewis has had a rough year but he made 2 huge 3rd down stops in the 4th quarter. It seems like the only 2 plays he's made this year but good for him.

Marquese Bell finally had a rough day and didn't play well.

We saw the same trend from Diggs earlier. Strictly made plays on the ball which led to tons of Ints but gave up tons of yards. One of those route jumps would payoff but the rest left the reciever free.

It's always a danger with ball hawks who are so fast they can make up for a misstep. Everton Walls had a lot of interceptions, but a lot of people in Dallas thought his nickname should be toast.

Too early to tell. We would be tied head-to-head, and probably in division record. The next tie breaker is common games. We lost to Arizona who Philly will probably beat. But we beat the Jets who beat Philly. Philly has beaten the Dolphins and Bills who we play later in the year. Those will be important games. But if we win out, and Philly wins out except for the loss to us, they would have the next tie-breaker which is conference record. Our loss to Arizona would be the difference. So we really need Philly to drop one to the Cardinals or the Giants (not likely).

With Eagles loss today:

If the Cowboys beat the Eagles next week, they will move into 1st place in the NFC East based on a better division record (4-1 to 3-1). If both teams finish 14-3, then Eagles would win division based on better conference record. pic.twitter.com/LOgij5QabR

This year the NFL put common games ahead of conference record in the tiebreaker procedure. If we beat Philly this week, head to head, division record, and common games would be tied. But we still have to beat the Bills and the Dolphins to even up the common games portion. If we lose to either of those teams, it doesn't even get to conference record (which we lose unless Kyler and the red birds do us a solid). Bottom line, we have to win out and hope Philly loses an additional game with only the Cardinals and Giants left on their schedule.

Nope, they would be 3-1 in division and we would be 4-1. As Franko stated, if after Dallas beats Philly, they both run the table, Philly would then have the advantage due to common opponents. Remember, the question was who would be in first after the Philly game if Dallas won.

He signed with the Eagles, which I think is ok as he would have been a rotational piece here. Not a need but a nice to have.
