Momentum changing plays

[wxcpo]

I think there were clearly momentum turning plays in each of our last 2 wins over Philly. In last weeks game I thought the long pass from McNabb to Jackson that just missed was a momentum turning play. In this weeks game I think the overturned INT was a momentum turning play. After the INT was overturned the Cowboys went down and scored the go ahead points and Philly was never in the game again.

What do you think were the game changing or momentum changing plays?

Vicks fumble was my key Momentum play.

That overturned INT that Romo almost threw was the key play in the game for me. Coming on the heels of Vick's TD it was a potentially momentum shifting moment in favor of the Eagles until the play was reviewed and overturned. The "third team" put the nail in the Eagle's coffin with that and once our O got back on the field and resumed the march I knew it was going to be a glorious night.

I think we dominated them so thoroughly in both games that any momentum they gained would have been taken right back soon after that. If the refs had messed up that replay review, we might have been down 10-7 if the Eagles turned it into a field goal, but I still think we'd have been up by double digits at halftime and still won easily.

When the Cowboys came out of the tunnel to start the game.

If today's Cowboys played today's Eagles 10 times, the Cowboys would beat 'em at least 9 times and probably 10.

This.

In any NFL game, a team is going to have missed opportunities. You might lose 73-0, but there was probably a moment early in the game where the losing team dropped an INT that 'could have' changed the game.

But the bottom line is that in eight straight quarters against Philly, we beat them 58-14. That's as thorough an *** kicking as you get in the NFL.

I do, however, think the Vick fumble was the moment that allowed us to provide the hammer on them. I thought it was idiotic they were trying to use him at all, and they were highly fortunate Jenkins slipped on the TD pass. They pushed their luck with a mediocre quarterback moonlighting as a change of pace guy and lost the bet.

I completely agree. The first half was total domination with the exception of one boneheaded play. The only reason they didn't score 35 in the first half was penalties (and from being at the game the refs were a bit annoying). That almost interception looked incomplete to me and I was in the top level, and that's not even mentioning what should have been a hold or illegal contact on whoever was covering Austin.

Our first defensive series. Philly, 3 and out again. They knew it was coming.....again. JMO, of course.
