Percentage-wise, how confident are you that the Cowboys will win this game? Are you 80% sure, 70, 60, 50, what?

Personally, right now I feel about 65% sure Dallas wins. I like our chances, but I'm still nervous about this one.

Last week (at Tennessee), I was probably 90% sure Dallas would win.

Just curious about the fans' confidence heading into this one. I've made a similar thread at the Eagles WarNest, and I'll post their results here later.

Its a road game vs a hostile division opponent so cant be too confident I would have to say about 99.999% sure Dallas will win. If Mike Ditka were coaching Da Boys I would say 110%. Ok kidding aside.

I dont think thier defense will be able to stop our offense, I cant help but remember how our offense manhandled them early in the season before the Oline woes kicked in. I do think their offense will be better though, their Oline is playing well and McNabb is much better when he can move around and buy the extra time his weak arse WRs need to get open. So I would say about 75% sure we will win this game, I really think this game will signal the changing of the guard for the next few years.

If we don't beat ourselves with mistakes and pentalities than I'm a 100% sure we will win this game EASILY. If we turn the ball over than it might be a tough game.

Philly just isn't as good as people think they are and that will be proved on sunday.:cool:

Honestly, I'm not confident at all.

This is a tough game -- people have called this the Eagles' Superbowl, their Katrina game, etc.

I do know this. The game is more important to the Eagles than it is to us. To us, this is a road game against the most hostile crowd.... well, probably ever. We've got every excuse to lose.

If we win, it will really hurt Philly. A lot.

this is a tough one. Atlanta is a pretty good team and the emotion of the Katrina game made them look bad. if we can keep it close in the first half we should be okay. i just worry about getting swept away early.

Why am I agreeing with you today, abersonic? Go away...go fix dinner for the lady, or beat the dog, something...you are making too much sense for me!

Go! Now!!

I think this game is going to get ugly in a hurry.

Unfortunately, I think Philly has the advantage. The reopening of the Superdome was something Atlanta couldn't handle.

Its something I fear Philly has.

Its why I think we'll lose.

But God....how I hope we win.

That Philly fans are as emotional about TO as New Orleans fans were about Katrina really says something. Of course, most fans in New Orleans who can afford tickets weren't really impacted by Katrina in the first place.

i am confident the cowboys will win. i dont know how to put a % or what relavence that would have.

I think the cowboys have enough receiving options that are too much for the eagles defenders in coverage. Really they have to get a good pas rush on bledsoe because guys are going to get open.

Eagles have been decent at stopping the run.

When eagles have the ball, westbrook will make some plays but knowing he will be the go to guy and preventing him from getting YAC is the key. I really dont think the eagles wr will do much against the cowboys secondary.

Expect McNabb to make something out of nothing on some broken plays but that is not usually enough to win a game in and of itself.

IF the cowboys offense gets the team in trouble by pressing to hard early on they will be in trouble, but if they are patient and take what the eagles give them I think opportunities will present themselves soon enough.

ST will be very important in a game like this. with all the madness and hype and crowd noise, a breakdown in ST play could really change momentum and direction of the game.

But all in all, i think the eagles team is the one that has to make something happen because most of the matchups favor the cowboys.

They say it all starts up front. In that case I think we're out-matched on both sides. Being in Philly, I give us 40%.

Very confident. It will be a tough game against a good opponent on their field. No doubt about. We just need to limit mistakes and we'll be fine with a good chance to win the game.

Ok...this is what I predict happens this Sunday...

If the Redstinks go beat the Giants, the Cowboys will lose.

If the Giants beat the RedStinks, the Cowboys will win.
