I agree with those who say the Eagles are looking at the Cowboys defense. Foles, McCoy and the rest are looking at film today and are licking their chops.
If you have lived around Eagles fans for most of your life like me...you will know and understand one thing about them - they know a fraud when they see it. Now I am not going to come out and say Romo is fraud because I think there is golden opportunity for him to get the 500 pound pink elephant sitting in the room to move on. This is not to say Romo needs to do everything in this game. Conversely, I think he should try to do little. Run Murray even if they are down early. Almost make Romo unassuming in this game and if they need some late magic from him...cross your fingers and hope karma has had a change of heart.
Now onto Romo from philly perspective. They know him better than some cowboys fans know him. How? because they have had their own repeatedly since they entered the NFL. When you mention Randall Cunningham you will hear how he couldn't win it all even with great defense. You will hear about how Donovan McNabb looked great in regular season only to vomit in Super Bowl game...another choker. Vick? another great talent who didn't have 'it' factor. Add onto top of this a baseball team (phillies) who was first franchise to 10,000 losses. They know losing folks.
Their game plan will be to confuse Romo early. They want everyone in the stadium saying 'here we go again'. They will bank on announcers putting up another Romo infographic on how he comes un-done this time of year. They want the focus to stay on Romo. That why its important for Dallas to run the ball even if they go three and out the first three series. My strategy for most of this game would be running Murray 25+ times with safe passes to Witten and screen passes out of backfield. Dez/Williams won't like this game plan. The defensive will have to play their best game but they played well the last time they met.
you mean like beating a 9-0 colts team in 2006? (226 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT)
you mean like beating a 10-1 packers team in 2007? (309 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT)
you mean like beating an 11-2 giants team in 2008? (244 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs)
you mean like beating a 13-0 saints team in 2009? (312 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs)
you mean like beating an 11-4 eagles team in 2009, to get into the playoffs? (311 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT)
and then again, the next week, in the playoffs? (244 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs)
you mean like beating, in overtime, a 49ers team that would go on to a 13-3 record in 2011? (345 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs)

All that stuff is ancient history. Recent history shows this team does not win games against teams playing over .500.You do understand they don't care about facts?
The eagles are banking on scoring 40 on our defense. They dont give a crap what romo Does.

he will choke
They can't get 40 if we control the ball (and clock) on offense....
Sure they can
