Congradulations Cowboys fans, your team played lights out (possibly the best I've seen this year) and you guys got exactly what you were hoping for. A couple thoughts.
- Sean Payton called a great game. It almost seemed like he knew what JJ was calling on defense before the play started. All our blitzes were picked up and your plays always seemed to go right to the weak spot. Sean Payton deserves the game ball, IMO.
- Good tackling by your defense. The Cowboys executed.
- Like I said before, you guys got what you were asking for - an aggressive gameplan. From the players to the coaches, your team didn't seem the least bit intimidated, in fact they played to intimidate.
- Before the game I saw a couple "conspiracy" theories on this board and I'd like to look at them:
a) One theory was that Reid was over-exagerating his team's injuries for some reason. I don't think that was the case, in fact I can't think of a motive for doing it. McNabb's injuries specifically are legit.
b) Another theory was that Parcells was holding back for this game. I think there was alot of truth to that. I'm not saying Parcells "threw" any games or accepted defeat, but I do think he was saving parts of his playbook for this game. Especially in the passing game, but also in how he used J Jones. I think the Eagles were expecting runs up the middle of the defense and were caught off guard by all the outside runs.
- Tyson Thompson is a fumble waiting to happen. That's the only negative thing I can say about your team's play. He's explosive as hell, but someone needs to work with him.
- Please beat the Giants. PLEASE. Destroy them like you destroyed the Eagles. Giant's fans are gloating over your win as if it was their team. In fact, I'd say they are talking more trash than Cowboys fans are right now. I used to know a couple reasonable Giants fans, but even they have big heads now.
A few thoughts on my team, I didn't come here to talk about them, but I'll say a couple things.
- Special teams must be fixed. Our team was dominated on all three phases on Sunday, but it started and ended with special teams. All four phases of the return game need serious attention. Looking back at our other games, this is a consistent problem for us. I think ST is what allowed the Cowboys to get their "foot in the door" and exploit us from their.
- I'd like McNabb to get the surgery now that we are in the bye week. It turns out that Mike McMahon has some sort of knee injury, he's getting exploratory surgery right now. This may have played a part in keeping McNabb out there, and may keep him out there. I think this is a fluid situation.
- Finally, our team has suffered worse blowouts in recent years. Atleast one a year. Anyone who thinks the Eagles are done is incorrect. I admit, the "window" is closing in a sense, in that the rest of the division is getting more competetive.
I look forward to November 14th. One great thing about division games, you always get a rematch. I guarantee the Eagles will be fired up.
