If the Cowboys want to win this game they have to get to Foles early and often. When these two teams played earlier this year the Cowboys made Foles' day miserable which culminated in him getting knocked out of the game. The same needs to happen this Sunday night or it is going to get ugly. (making his day miserable, not knocking him out)

To be honest I don't know if this defense can do it and if they can't the offense is going to have to light it up and I have my doubts about them as well...

Anyhoo...here's hoping our 'Boys lay the wood on Foles and company and wipe that goofy grin off of their head coach's face.

Pressure the QB to help our secondary.
Run the ball and control the clock.
Win the turnover battle.

Anything else I'm missing? Its the same approach every game lol

This is a must. Force Foles to get rid of the ball quickly -- and cover all the underneath routes -- and Dallas has a chance to win. If Foles has time to throw he will pick this defense apart. A little confusion from Kiffin wouldn't hurt either considering Foles is a disciplined QB and throws few interceptions.

Foles is a darn good QB.

Offense will need to play perfectly and score on every drive.

Their pass rush is far superior ot the Cowboys. That may be the difference in the game.

I think Murray has to carry the ball 30 times and get 150 yards. The Cowboys have to own time of possession. They need to control McCoy. And they need to beat the Eagles special teams. They need to win the turnover battle.

That's how the Cowboys win Sunday night. They need to do all these things.

I don't count on this defense to do anything. The Offense needs to find high gear again and turn into a scoring machine like we saw against Denver.

The Eagles are nearly last in the league in pass defense, right beside us.

The best pressure we can put on him is with our offense and putting points on the board.

If he feels the need to keep up then he may make some mistakes.
Exactly. Our offense is almost completely healthy, which I doubt few teams in the league can say. It needs to step up and truly take control and win this game for us for once.

That horrible pass defense stopped a passing game that torched us last week. Marshall, Jeffrey and Bennett did whatever they wanted against the Cowboys hopeless secondary. They did nothing last night.

The difference was that the Eagles pressured Cutler all night. And that pass rush is coming after Romo and his wonky back Sunday night.

So those stats don't mean a whole lot to me. I go by what I see.

comparing apples to oranges. We didn't play versus a rusty culter either. If we can't pass well against the Eagles we will lose.
