Do Eagles fans realize...

[mcnabbmcnow]

We dominated a team that finished 10-6 last year, went 7-1 at home, and had the #4 offense in the NFL in their yard

You dominated a team that might very well lose to any of the top 3-4 teams in college football at home

Teams change from year to year. Derek Anderson faded badly at the end of last year. The Browns also played a creampuff schedule last year and this year play a hard one. Plus, the Browns offense looked dreadful in preseason. They were losing 31-3 to the Giants starters in one quarter of play, they were that bad. Not impressed at all with Browns pass rush or secondary.

The Eagles have to do two things. Get pressure on Romo, and stifle the Cowboys running game. Easier said than done, though they did pressure Romo in the game at Dallas last year. The Browns got zero pressure on Romo, just like the Rams got no pressure on Mcnabb. The one thing that gives me a little hope is I heard some Cowboys fans complaining that there wasn't enough pressure on the Browns QB. If that is true, that plays more into Mcnabb's hands....I'd agree with those that say Mcnabb is not good at getting rid of the ball quick. I worry about Mcnabb against teams with good pass rushes.

QB - Draw
RB - Draw (Eagles win if Barber doesn't play)
WR - Cowboys
TE - Cowboys
OL - Cowboys
DL - Draw
LB - Eagles
CB - Eagles
S - Eagles
ST - Draw

McNabb is not as good as Romo, injured or not. Sorry.

Dallas has four pro-bowl linebackers, including the best OLB in the league. It isnt close.

Dallas has the best punter and arguably the best kicker in football.

The Eagles are better at CB and safety. That's it

And FWIW, Asante Samuel has made a career in the Pats zone scheme. He was rarely asked to play one on one with elite receivers. TO will burn him a few times.

Don't even factor it in.

You obviously haven't been watching preseason. This is a Browns team that was losing 31-3 to the Giants in the first quarter! They have been ABYSMAL in the entire preseason, particularily offensively, and I'd be shocked in the Browns made the playoffs...they played a cake schedule last year. I admit the Rams are awful, but Derek Anderson faded at the end of last year and the Browns are below average.

You do realize the Browns have a great OL and they do not give up sacks? They are one of the teams to give up less sacks then the Cowboys.

QB - Draw - False. Romo is better now
RB - Draw (Eagles win if Barber doesn't play) - False. Westbrook is better. Barber + Felix is better
WR - Cowboys - Agreed
TE - Cowboys - Agreed
OL - Cowboys - Agreed
DL - Draw - Undecided
LB - Eagles - False
CB - Eagles - False
S - Eagles - Agreed
ST - Draw - False

Welcome to the new age of professional sports...with the salary cap/FA. Look at the Boston Celtics-just a few upgrades made a whale of a difference.

How were they more impressive? Not only were we in easy field goal range at the end of the game (which would have made it 31 points), we started running the clock down with 11 minutes to go on the clock. If we had kept going at the pace we were going the first 3 QTRs, I promise you we would have put up 40+ points.

Again.... against a much more talented team than the RAMS, and we were on the road (unlike the Eagirls).

let me sum it up for you.

We beat a more impressive team but the eagles were more impressive.

Either way. The eagles are 6-2 at the stadium under andy reid. They hate us. They will come here looking to prove something to everyone in the country. The eagles won here in december.

It is going to be a tight 3 point type of game. I expect stingy defense from both sides.

I think this is the toughest game of the year. I dont want to lose this game.

Like I said, I think we beat a more impressive team but the eagles were more impressive.

They played a nearly clean game. Great offense, tremendous defense and perfect special teams. Penalties did not slow them down. They had great field position and gave the rams terrible field position.

the rams are atrocious but to play that way against any team is to be commended.

Neither game matters come monday night. Both of these teams can exploit the other ones weaknesses and both can explode at any time on either side of the ball. Both have terrific specialty players. Both have good coaches.

Its a 3 point game I think. The toughest game of the year.
