to bury the Eagles. Step on their throats and end the run of the East. It is also the time for payback to the Eagle franchise for the past several years. Man, they have embarassed the Cowboys on several occaisions. A blow out is in order. On their turf, in front of their rude fans. If we are up by 21 points in the 4th quarter with 2 minutes to play, throw the bomb because it is what Andy Reid would have done to us in the past. Here's to a Cowboys victory and the death of the eagles sprinkled with a little pickle juice.....

It would be sweet redemption.

But this is just what the doctor ordered in Philly.

I'm now very worried about this game.

Well, we need to come out and attack from the first play like we did the last time we played them. You cannot let a team like Philly hang around while we try to hold onto a 4-point lead.

Someone needs to tell Parcells that a lead that you can sit on is 3 scores, anything less than that means you are simply ahead and need to continue scoring TDs.

Don't be surprised to see us come out and be ultra-conservative. We're in a very hostile environment, playing a revved up team with nothing to lose. They'll be playing inspired football.

I think we'll come out tenatively, to try to avoid mistakes. We'll try to weather the Philly onslaught, and try to not turn it over. Our defense will hold them just fine.

I think we may start to open it up bit by bit as the game wears on, if we keep it close.

Now, I'm not saying this is the best way to play the Eagles. I just think this is what's going to happen.

For the Eagles, I think they open the game with a trick play, or by going deep against Glenn.

The last thing the Cowboys need to be doing is playing it close to the vest. The Cowboys play better football when they open it up and attack. From here on out the Cowboys need to do this on offense, and I expect them to do just that on Monday night.

Honestly, I hope we do attack.

But do you really think we will?

I don't think we will.

I love Parcells, but this is what he'll see.

--a wounded Eagle team with nothing to lose
--Monday Night Football away
--rabid Philly fans
--Jim Johnson with a second opportunity at us
--Tucker and Petitti (no offense PittDawg) at OT
--a team that has turned the ball over in four straight games (and a fumbled snap in nearly every game)
--Andy Reid with an opportunity to adjust his scheme
--a McNabb that's moving better
--and an Eagle team that hasn't lost three straight in how long?

Unfortunately, I think we'll play it close to the vest....especially, early. Team's that are playing on an emotional high can go one of two ways. One, they can blow assignments and get their butt kicked. Two, they fly all over the place and create big plays.

I think punching them in the mouth early is the way to beat them. But I don't think we'll do that.

this is the game where mcnabb throws in the towel and has whatever surgery he needs.

i doubt he lasts to the second half.

everyone is expecting the Eagles to play like a wounded animal - cornered in its den and baring its fangs. But listen i don't know if you heard it here first but the Eagles don'g have any fangs!!! we should treat them like the bad stepchild and take it to them from the first snap,and that's what i predict will happen. we will embarrass them again in front of their home crowd in front of a national tv audience, and the Eagles as we know them will be dead.
Cowboys 27 - Eagles 17 and it won't be as close as the score would indicate. 74 yards for them total rushing - 148 for us. 132 yards passing for them - 230 for us. we will nail them to the cross and they will be done for - their window has slammed shut. you heard it here first...

I hope you're right.

But winning teams usually go down fighting tooth-and-nail. The Eagles have been a winning team this entire decade. They won't go down easy.

I'm worried about this game I really am.



Like many have said the world is counting them out- like a wounded animal....But not so fast. These are the Eagles and not untill I've seen enough to count them out I wont do it.


I just hope we arent setting ourselves up for a let down.

It really boils down to matchups and we have an advantage. They can't run the ball so they have to throw, but to who?

Look for Reggie Brown to be lined up on the flanker side with Henry, and for a deep attack early. They are going to put that speed on our slower, knicked up DB early, especially with the FS over there.

If it isn't a streak, it will be on of those deep post hitches again.
