DMN: NBC's Cris Collinsworth: Eagles' Nick Foles 'going into the lions den' against Cowboys

[dupree89]

This comment is what interests me the most about this post; "how is Tony Romo? How is the back? Is he going to be able to play at full speed? Here we go again." If you read between the lines, Cris is saying Romo will play, and I have been saying the same all week long, I have a feeling Romo starts this game.

Mookie, I hope you are right. You were a great centerfielder back in the day for the Mets and I hope your feeling about Romo is correct. I just don't see it. I believe the decision has already been made and I dont see Romo playing. Again, this is just my opinion here...and I hope I am totally wrong. I like how Dallas has not ruled him out, but I'm thinking its only to keep Philly guessing. The only drawback in doing this is that it gets the fans' hopes up and they think he might play.

As they say, just my opinion.

until I see him as out, he is in

Has Foles ever beaten the Cowboys? Seems like we're 3-0 against him.

We are. Last year Foles played in our house without McCoy, Jackson, and his O Line.http://espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=321202006

Our secondary is at full strength which has helped in past games. In fact I don't know if we've had Claiborne and Moore in the same game. I'm worried about McCoy with Lee out. If he gets going early it will be a tough game. I hope Lee is in the film room with our linebackers helping them pick up the cues.

Our crowd needs to be loud. There needs to be noise early, I want to see a few false starts to start us off.

Don't count on that at all. We have the worse crowd in the whole NFL. I have never seen so many uneducated fans in my life. It is very sad.

Haven't watched a ton of his games but he doesn't look like he gets to rattled at all. Every ones hyping this game because if Romo don't play there might not be much to watch. hand the rock off to Murray and see where it goes, that's our best bet.

Aren't we 2-0 against Foles and not 3-0?

 

[Stash]

Big difference between lions and this defense.

Lions have teeth.

 

[Apollo Creed]

More like going to a 7 on 7 with zero crowd noise.

Jerry World is hardly a Lion's Den.

Foles doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who will get rattled by the spotlight.

I have been to the new stadium twice, both times against the Eagles. It was loud in each instance.

Lmaoo

 

[tyke1doe]

lol, I came in expecting the "lions den" to be about our defense based on how we did last time, turns out it's just about the circus of the atmosphere - which hasn't exactly been kind to the Cowboys either.

LOL! I kinda thought that too, but then realized the Cowboys defense hasn't roared in quite some time.

I'm a season ticket holder and have front row seats to AT&T stadium and I have also been to several other stadiums and I can tell you we have the most pathetic crowd in the whole NFL. Last time I remember it being somewhat loud was against the Eagles in the 2009 playoff game.

Foles apparently was trying to compare this game to a big high school game he played in..yeah ok.
I know the crowd catches a lot of heat for being quiet sometimes, but that place will be rocking sunday night.

I hope so.

I think everybody has to slow down and just play the game.

This is not Andy Reid coaching them.

Its Chip Kelly with a gimmick offense.

A ton of season tickets holders sold their tickets. They were likely scored up by Eagles fans. It'll be the Linc South.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'm not sure what about this Cowboys defense makes him think anything about a Lions Den. I'll be shocked if we hold the Eagles to less than 35 points.

lol.. I sold mine. I would rather profit off of Jerry than him profit off of me. With that said, I would never sell to the opposing teams fans.

Do you not use the exchange? How do you know who buys them?

Man, they must be stopping at the Zoo first, because they dang sure won't see a "Lions Den" at AT&T park. Lol.
