We control the clock in the first quarter. Murray runs for about 50 yards in two series of downs and Romo makes efficient passing plays.

With the offense controlling the clock the defense becomes much more effective VS the run with the game in doubt and while not dominant the pass rush harrasses Sanchez.

Eagles defense becomes worn down late in the 2nd and early 3 and Romo closes and opens both half with big scoring strikes with a knockout blow in the early 3rd

Dallas 38- Eagles 13

I think the script we have followed this year will work VS the Eagles. Our OL should come out in this game looking to dominate. We need to hold the ball to keep the Eagles no huddle the field

A like the game plan, wear them down. But it won't happen late 2nd quarter or early 3rd. Will be more like late 3rd, but most likely early 4th, or with about 10 minutes left.

I can see a lower scoring, time control game until that defense is worn down.

I'll go play action, deep to Dez, or a crossing pattern to Dez.

I'm starting to believe that the Eagle's front is the best one we will/have faced all year. That said, I still think Murray runs for 75 and Romo throws for about 300. Add another 25 yards in for the backups.

More importantly, I think we stall their offense a little in a surprise upswing for this defense that is showing warts.

This sounds about right, I think much of the iggle defensive success was due to Romo not being able to make them pay for keying on Murray. Is Romo healthy enough to win this game passing? If he is I can definitely see them winning with a 60-40 pass-run split. The coaches also need to get off this "we're going to run the exact same plays and pummel you into submission" mindset, if they are going to beat good defensive fronts they have to be nimble and mix it up when things are not working. They don't have the luxury of a good defense to lean on.

I almost never feel very confident when we play in Philly, even though we've had success there the last few years. However, I think we'll take this one. For some reason, I feel very calm and confident about tonight. I'm going with the Boys in a 31-27 win. I hope they don't let me down. Again.

Whenever a team shows true change something like that usually happens. Think Colts D a few years ago. They looked horrible until they got to playoffs, and made it to SB.

When we see a similar thing happen with our team ( not saying SB this year, just major swing on D) we will know we are legit .

Hard to be optimistic about this game for me. Only good thing is its in philly. Their are a bad matchup for us. They blew us out last game and it was over in the 1st. Also its a prime time game. Its a must win game unless the bears or vikings upset the lions. Hopefully dallas pulls it out though.

Murray run for 4 to the right side to start.

I have a bottle of Crown and an Irish Cream my sister brought back from Ireland on stand-by.

Murray will get his 100 once we start opening up the passing game and spreading them out.

If the Cowboys win it will be a tight game that will come down to the 4th quarter.

You honestly believe the Cowboys will hold Philly to fewer points than Seattle? For your information the Cowboys haven't beaten anyone by 25 points or more since they beat Buffalo 44-7 during the 2011 season. I see no way the Cowboys defense holding an explosive offensive team like Philly to 13 points. Some can't just predict a win they have to go all out and predict a Cowboys blowout. A win is possible a 25 point blowout is virtually impossible. The Cowboys haven't shown they're capable of beating anyone this season by 25 points they don't have a killer instinct.
