The Eagles have been taken behind the woodshed a few times this season. I hope we return the favor after the Turkey Day fiasco.

I guess. I just would have thought the Thanksgiving debacle would have more influence. We don't have Seattle defense.

I think folks are buying into the short turnaround thing too. I didn't want to at first, thinking it sounded way too much like excuse making, but Romo's performance was such an anomaly, there is probably some truth to it.

Agreed. When I think unstoppable, I think of an Aaron Rodger's led Green Bay offense, not one that scores 14 points (including 7 on a gifted short field) and produces 139 total yards. LOL. This Eagles team makes me want to puke with their overratedness.

Well considering our D is about 1/8th as good as Seattle, in our eyes, their offense is unstoppable.

Nope, just have to reduce their number of plays. We've got a team that is built to do just that. We just need a fresher Romo. We'll have that this time around.

This is standard Vegas.......
Home team +3......
Winner of 1st meeting +1.....
So to give us a 1/2 a pt leads me to think Vegas might actually like the Cowboys to cover this week.

It will be really interesting to see how this line changes later in the week. Just curious to know what the betting public think of this game when there is real money on the line.

Come on now. These same unstoppable Eagles scored a total of 27 points in two games against a worse defense last year. Thanksgiving was a little of an aberration given how little time the team had to prepare. This will be MUCH closer, and the defense will be far better.

And with a better QB. The Sanchez-led Eagles make me laugh. We will destroy them in their house.

To be fair, Aaron Rodgers and his offense didn't do much better when they went up against Seattle, if anything, the Cowboys are the team that matches up with Seattle the best out of any NFC team.

Yeah, but it was the first game of the year. Green Bay had some issues in several games earlier in the year. And then Rodgers told everyone to R-E-L-A-X. But yes, I agree about the Cowboys style of offense being well suited against Seattle. If the Cowboys don't make the playoffs or get bumped, a Green Bay-Seattle NFC championship would still get me interested enough to watch.
