Some of the loudest Cowboys home games have been against the Eagles. That Monday Night game in 2007? when TO and Felix Jones had those long TDs was really loud (Texas Stadium). The 2009 season finale followed by the playoff game at Cowboys Stadium, both against the Eagles, were both really loud. Now that they've started towel waving at AT&T, maybe the Cowboys can get early momentum and keep the crowd involved. That would be an ideal situation.

Yep no doubt. That 08 mnf game was amazing. One of my favorite games I have ever attended.

The 05 game where parcells let Payton loose and we blew them out at Texas stadium was fantastic too, ware sacked mcnabb on the first play on defense, hist first snap against mcnabb ever! and the 03 game when Randall Williams returned the onsides kickoff to start the game was pretty great also.

On the flip side, the 2006 Xmas day game against Philly at Texas stadium was one of the worst games, crowd was too cold to make noise, offe se was stuck in the mud and we lost the game and the division essentially to Jeff Garcia.

The 07 game with Westbrook lying down at the one and romo hitting his thumb was awful too especially since the Giants did not know to stop us on offense until they saw the eagles do it during that game and copied it during the playoff game.

But nothing tops the 04 mnf game. The mcnabb scramble is a horrible memory.

In back to back weeks against the eagles in 09 Ted nugent did the national anthem, maybe the key to victory is finding an ignorant hill billy to play the national anthem....

Better than sacrificing chickens.

You should.

No one has sung it better than Kelly clarkson in 2006 (thanksgiving) or Ann Wilson at thanksgiving last year.

Although kris kristofferson's anthem in 05 was great also.

Those Disney princesses and fourth place American idol finishers can't sing it at all.

Am I the only one who is not that pumped for this game?

It's exciting and I will be tuned in no doubt, but it just really isn't getting me as hyped up as I should be. If we win, we ride into the playoffs with Orton... Whoo!

I'll be there but I am unfortunately quiet and mild mannered by nature. I'll do my best to break out of my introverted shell for one 3 hour period though.

I have a feeling the crowd will be into this one....we really need this game here and now lol. Knocking the eagles out of a playoff birth should be incentive enough!!!

The Eagles game in 09 was a library compared to the infamous "Romo Fumble" game in Seattle. I couldn't hear for a week after that game. It was a different environment than any game I've been to in Dallas. Even louder than games I've been to in Baton Rouge at LSU. That is the one thing I can't ever get over about our home field advantage. You would think that we would have that more than anyone. You would have also thought that would have been in the plans of our new stadium. It could have been built with more of an acoustical advantage than it is....

That's what tailgating is for. Most "rowdy" fans have a beer coat on.

But most importantly, enjoy the game in your own way!

I can't believe I am not going.

That eagles game in 2009 was the best crowd in the stadiums short history.

that night was so much fun.

What do you mean you aren't going? Why wouldn't you?

That game in 2009 was by far the best game I've ever been too. I imagine this one will be very similar.
