Michael Irvin's Dallas Worry: These Cowboys Will Get 'Dominated' By Eagles & 49ers

"You won't ever beat Philadelphia like that. You won't ever beat the San Francisco 49ers like that,'' Irvin said, appearing on FS1's "Undisputed" after previously unbeaten Dallas' shocking upset loss to the Cardinals.

FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys have no bigger supporter, booster and homer than Hall of Fame legend Michael Irvin. But that doesn't prevent the "Playmaker'' from telling it like it is. And in his TV review of all the things that went wrong in Week 3's "Debacle in the Desert'' - the heavily favored Cowboys losing 28-16 to the lowly Arizona Cardinals - Irvin is telling his truth.

And it is an unpleasant one.

"You won't ever beat Philadelphia like that. You won't ever beat the San Francisco 49ers like that,'' Irvin said, appearing on FS1's "Undisputed" after previously unbeaten Dallas' shocking upset loss to the Cardinals.

And that seems valid. As we write here, the Cowboys seemed outplayed, out-coached, out-schemed, out-hustled ... and so many of the issues that were supposedly "fixed'' - problems with untimely interceptions, woes in the red zone, struggles in stopping the run and an avalanche of penalties?

They were all in play in the loss.

"It definitely was not a good weekend,'' Irvin said. "I saw a dominating football game and a (Dallas) team being dominated that I didn't want to be dominated. ... This team was out-physicaled ... I was like, 'You can run trucks through these lines.''

That's a reference to Micah Parsons and Dallas' defense getting pushed around by the Cards' rushing attack. But, Irvin added, "They got dominated up front on both sides of the ball.''

The Cowboys are 2-1. They are not the only team with warts. But last year, in the NFC, there were only two teams on Dallas' level, the Eagles and the Niners. And the Eagles won the NFC East over Dallas ... and the Niners won a playoff game over Dallas, for the second consecutive year.

"Whatever it is,'' Irvin said, :they have to get this fixed. Because (opponents) are sitting back saying, 'Oh my God! That's the same old Dallas Cowboys and we'll take care of them in the first week of the playoffs' if they show up and play like that!''
