I think it would be to get the ball first and get the early momentum with a good scoring drive. What do you think?

I think they should dominate. Line up, feed Murray, make them suffer. I don't want to just win this game, I want to make them feel it. LOL.

i feel like we will finally impose our will at home.

zack martin is going to be fun to watch no matter what happens.

just watch this man.

our o-line is so good that i find myself watching them instead of the rb or qb or wr.

they should kick off, get the defense and more importantly the crowd engaged early.

remember eagles offense has had issues starting early this year. don't give kelly an extra possession after making halftime adjustments.

Exactly!

i always like having the ball to start the 2nd half, so defer

Nope, it wasn't the way of the great Cowboys teams of the nineties and it won't be the way of this team. If the Cowboys win the toss, they will take the ball. Why? Well, because they want to march down the field, score a touchdown and take the lead, that's why. Simple, really.

I understand you don't want to let the Eagirls get a fast start but our offense tend to have slow starts . I read somewhere we scored least amount of points in the 1st quarter this year by almost half compare to other quarters.

I see your point, but this defense is not that good yet. I would like to see the defense get a stop or even a pick six right off the bat and tilt the field and have the offense able to play on a short field..either way I just want to win.



"If Demarco Murray stays healthy for 16 games, he WILL run for 1,600+ yards.
Dez Bryant will have more touchdowns and yards than Calvin Johnson this season.
Sean Lee will have 160+ tackles (solo and assist) this year."

That's no secret. Garrett has publicly said thats why they always receive the ball if they win the coin toss.

They insulted the manhood of the strength of our team. I want to let the offensive line show them that wasn't smart. Get the ball and show them they are in for a physical battle from the very beginning. Broaddus commented that they haven't faced too many good offensive lines this year.

I like getting the ball to starrt the second half as well, but i.d receive in this case. I.m nervous about their fast game play. I see this being a 35-31 type nail biter
