They have been much better defensively then us this year and have a lesser edge but edge none then less in the scoring department.

The original poster is right. We will have our work cut out for us.

Just adding--In terms of ppg, they're the best defense Dallas has faced since New Orleans. Most of the defenses Dallas has faced lately have been at the bottom of the league in that category.

Not in the categories that matter. (See sig). 12th in defensive pass rating, 13th in points allowed per drive.

In win-or-go-home games since 2006, Dallas is 1-1 as the favorite and 0-5 as the underdog.

They are a defense that is dependent on their offense getting the lead.
Numbers don't mean a whole heck of a lot in these games. Anything can happen.

I am glad the games are not won on paper. As much as I dislike Garrett's coaching. He seems to be a better coach within the NFC East division. For that reason, I believe Dallas win a low scoring affair.

Stranger things have happen.

Well fortunately games aren't played on paper

I guess it depends on the Philly team who comes to town. The one who played last night or the one the week before who lost to Minn?

Ya, this is what it boils down to. Which Eagles defense shows up will make all the difference. The only way we win this is if it's a shoot out and we don't turn the ball over.

They have better safeties, linebackers, d-line, o-line, and RB. We probably have better WRs and special teams but that's about it. Oh and Romo too.

Our o-line is better than many will believe.

Same goes for Dallas and what offense shows up. Dallas is capable of putting up points and we know Philly just as well as they know us. McCoy is the key with Philly people can talk Foles all they want or Jackson but the key with Philly is McCoy.
