I obviously have my own opinion about this, but I will try to be impartial for the purpose of this poll.

The Eagles' offense is ranked #1 in the NFL right now. They are converting an amazing 46% on their third downs, averaging 426 yards per game! However, they have played the Texans, Giants, 49ers, and Packers, whose defenses rank 32nd, 27th, 24th, and 31st, respectively.

So what is it, is this team an offensive juggernaut or are they the beneficiary of a cupcake first-quarter schedule?

I voted for too early to tell. But it's also true that they've had a cupcake schedule up to this point. Despite their #1 ranking and media darling status, the Eagles need this game way more than the Cowboys do. If they lose, it will be 3 in a row against Dallas, 0-2 in the division this year (both home losses) and 8 straight division losses. They will lose their minds if they don't beat Dallas. That being said, I hope the Cowboys make a statement on Sunday. Just take it to 'em and ride out of there with a win, leaving their crazed fans looking stunned and stupid like last year.

Definitely the schedule, mcnabb hasn't even been challenged by any complex defenses, he'll get his chance to prove if he's for real this Sunday. I'm predicting a sharp decline in his production as opposed to his previous 4 games. Dallas' D is like night and day compared to what he's faced thus far plus his weapons are banged up. Call me a homer if you want, but I'm keeping it real.

Depends on Westbrook, he's what drives this offense.

This. Reserving judgement until I see them in a couple of real games.
