QB:
Cowboys Advantage
Breakdown:
Romo is a better QB than McNabb, McNabb does have playoff experience.

HB: Neutral advantage
Breakdown:
If Westbrook is not himself, this is a Cowboys HUGE advantage.

O-LINE:
Cowboys Advantage
Breakdown: With the return of Colombo and the injury of the Eagles starting C, this is a 'Boys Advantage, nevermind we have two pro-bowlers on our O-LINE.

WR:
Neutral advantage
Breakdown: Austin exceeds DeSean, since not only is Austin a big play threat, he can make small critical plays, Crayton cancels out Jeremy Maclin because Crayton provides consistency, the rest of our WR's cancel our the rest of theirs, so you could make the case we have a slight advantage.

TE:
Cowboys HUGE Advantage
Breakdown:
Hall of famer, and 2 TE's with huge potential give this a huge advantage to the boys.

DE:
Eagles big Advantage
Breakdown:
They got a pro-bowl DE, we don't, although Cole is overrated.

DT:
Cowboys Advantage
Breakdown:
When Ratliff is hungry, he is the best DT in the game.

OLB:
Cowboys HUGE advantage
Breakdown:
The best ROLB, and the best LOLB starting makes this a boys advantage.

ILB's:
Cowboys HUGE advantage
Breakdown:
When the Eagles are starting Trotter, you know the boys got a big advantage.

CB: Cowboys Advantage
Breakdown:
A shutdown CB and a way above average CB in T-New give us this.

S':
Cowboys Advantage
Breakdown:
Ken Hamlin is a smart smart guy, and that does assist us even if you don't want to admit it. Sensy is a beast

K:
Eagles HUGE advantage
Breakdown:
They got the best kicker in the game.

KOS:
Cowboys Advantage
Breakdown:
We got the best Kick Off Specialist in the NFL's history.

P:
Cowboys Advantage
Breakdown:
McB.

Coaching:
Slight Eagles advantage
Breakdown:
7-0 in opening round playoff games give this to Philly, but over the 2009 regular season this was a huge Dallas advantage over Philly.

Recent History:
Eagles
Breakdown:
They got the recent history.

History:
Cowboys.
Breakdown:
We got the history.

If Westbrook is himself it is neutral if not it is a huge advantage for us.

I think the coaching edge has to go to Reid because he's been here, done that.

Phillips has to prove it in the playoffs to deserve the coaching edge.

Phillips is running a shutdown defense right now.

Garrett is running a dead-on Offense right now.


Those two combined can equal his experience.

I agree that Dallas outcoached Philadelphia during the regular season, but it's hard to go against playoff success. Phillips doesn't have it; Reid does.

Until he proves he can outfox coaches in the postseason, I couldn't side with a coach with no postseason success.

Just because it is 6 days later does not change the coaching.

It also doesn't change the fact that Philadelphia has won its first playoff game in its past seven postseason appearances, while Phillips is 0-4 overall.

Some coaches thrive in the one-and-done atmosphere of the playoffs; some don't. Right now, the one thing we do know is that Reid has and Phillips hasn't.

That is true. I will agree with you coaching is a slight advantage to philly, ill change it.

Are you sure you belong here? I haven't met too many zoners willing to change an opinion even when presented the facts. :D

That said, I do believe Wade has shown he can checkmate Reid's offense this year, and Garrett has shown that he can counter whichever way McDermott chooses to attack, so there is great hope in that category.

I originally wrote it as a Philly advantage, but I said, Wade has had phillys number all season and so has Garrett, so I put it as neutral.
