I would NOT underestimate the eagles, they are on roll and very upset that we have destroyed them the last 3 by such margin it was embarrassing, also 7-2 against them in the last nine.

they feel this is their game at home to right all those wrongs and it seems the coach with the shirt that shows " we want to Cowboys" much like the Washington team was stating last year, well it might be their time they seem to have spent an offseason building their team to beat us.

sure we did far less and are winning with a B/U qb only 1game behind them so we shall see how that works out.

My gripe with pollard is that every time, EVERY TIME Pollard is in pass protection, would drives fall apart

juice or not, he has also been a factor of why some drives don’t work out

Tyron being healthy was in the bold predictions thread. That’s why it’s labeled bold lol

this isn’t a bold proclamation

i believe we are a matchup nightmare for Philly. If we don’t turnover the ball, we WILL win this game

Pollard has some drawbacks but he’s a big play waiting to happen. He’s made two big plays this season. A lot of our drives don’t work out because of penalties. We put ourselves behind the chains and drives sputter out. I believe for us to beat Philly we’re going to have to have more offense than what we’ve had so far. It’s going to be like heading into a hornets nest on Sunday night. I’m sure they’re still fuming over the 50+ points we put on their backups in the season finale last year. They’re clearly the best team we’ve faced so far.

It’s Pollard and Turpin time. But that idiot Moore probably will never use them in the passing game. Imagine we had a really good offensive coordinator with the players we have?

Well, half of the Eagles while the other half tries to do the same thing to our offense.

The Eagles defense is doing everything the Cowboys defense is doing in some cases, better.

They are #1 in Takeaways, #1 in net yards per passing attempt with less than 5 yards, #2 in opponent average starting field position. Their sack, TFL and QB hits are not concentrated to a couple players but distributed among 6-7 players.

In order for the Cowboys to win this one a few players are going to have to produce far beyond what we had seen them do before.

I think the Eagles start out fast on offense and then the Cowboys start to take over. The Eagles have scored 106 points in the first half of their games but only a total of 29 points in the second half of their games. Maybe they have a problem on offense adjustments in the second half of their games or maybe they’re losing focus. Kinda reminds me of some of the Jason Garrett teams with lack of adjustments.

Not sure where some of these high-scoring predictions are coming from, to be honest. Last season, perhaps?

These are two of the top seven scoring defenses, so far, this season. If the Cowboys win it'll likely be what we've seen for the past month, something like 20-17. I'd take that.:thumbup:
