The Most Dangerous Game Remaining in 2006!

[ilovejerry]

If we lose that game I'm jumping of the Goethals.

Alright! I get it! It appears that the majority of those who have posted on this thread believe the following ...

The Eagles are not the most dangerous team remaining in the 2006 regular NFL season ...in fact, most believe that the Eagles are not dangerous to the Cowboys at all.

The Cowboys will win because Garcia is not the threat that Romo is, and McNabb is out for the season.

Penalties and mental errors are just about the same on both teams; perhaps worse on the Eagles (by my calculation an AVERAGE for a 4 week period identified by someone earlier ...Eagles 6.5 penalties for 54 yards ...Cowboys 6 penalties for 50.75 yards)

Based on what you're saying, the game between the Eagles and the COwboys looks like both teams are pretty evenly matched. That is a dangerous way of looking at this game. If you think that the Eagles game will be a cakewalk, you are all sadly mistaking!

A healthy Eagles team is dangerous to any team ...do not underestimate the potential of the Eagles ... or overestimate the potential of the Cowboys.

Good health to your team prior to meeting the Eagles in December.

Like I said earlier, get out of washington this weekend and ny next weekend and then see where everyone stands.

I am curious how you will handle a physical team that refuses to stop running the ball like washington. The play that you beat the Commanders with last time was the deep ball, getting a lead and then taking their run effectiveness away.

Garcia can not make those plays. You will have to blitz campbell but they max protect almost every play. This skins team is a bad matchup for the eagles last week much to the same tune that the panthers were a good matchup last week.

If you stop washingtons running game with your terrible olb's this week and win then I will say you guys should have an inside track on that 6th spot.

As I said earlier, You need to get out of washington this week and be successfull against their physical running game and you need carolina to knock off the giants with chris weinke at the helm and no running game to speak of.

One more thing, the eagles have lost 2 of their last three trips to Texas Stadium. The last time we played you it was like the super bowl with all the eagles fans and players anticipating that game since april. Now it is just another game in Dallas, you maybe playing for the 6th spot when you get here, which I would love because gettting a chance to knock you out will be wonderful....Especially all the classless fans in philly mocking a guy who almost died, dressing up as pills and bottles and then throwing them at him.......classness.

I look at this christmas game as payback for a long standing lack of respect from this group of eagles players and this coaching staff for the Cowboys. You came in here in 02 Emmits last home Game and ran up the score on our bad team and dawkins and the rest of the clowns were dancing and pointing and showing their lack of respect, then in 03 you stood on the star and jumped up and down and during warmups your players were extremely classless with their actions. Then during Tex's ring of honor induction your POS kicker came out and was kicking and complaining about the ceremony being in his way.

Then in 04 when you won here again your organization acted like a bunch of classless jerks.

Now its 06, we have more talent, a better record and a good shot at winning the division.

I am looking for payback for all of the little classless things that go unoticed from the eagles organization.

I sincerely hope you come rolling in here needing a win to stay in the race. I will take my chances of our defense, with the west coast knowledge parcells has against jeff garcia. And I surely will take my chances of our offense against your terrible linebacking crew and interior lineman. Now if you are without michael lewis also that is a severe problem for you..

again though, get out of washington this week and then we will see where we stand, oh and you better be chris weinke's number 1 fan this week.

I don't think any team left on our schedule is a gimme game.

I think the eagles may use the game vs Dallas as another statement game since they probably will have nothing else to play for.

Division games are always tough.

With all of that said, I think we win and I don't think it is the most dangerous game left on our schedule, I think this weekends game is the most dangerous game left on our schedule.

Now excuse me while I go pee.

PT, I've got to give you a little props for starting this thread and taking all the flak. I just think it's a little too early. The Eagles have to play the Commanders first - a game that could go either way. If they win that game, they are in solid playoff position. Then they have to play the Giants, another game that could go either way, and the Giants should be considered the favorites. If they win that one too, then yes they should be considered VERY dangerous. But at this point, with the schitzophrenic (calling all grammar police) nature of our team, we can't call them dangerous. If anything, they are dangerous to themselves.

 

[Jimz31]

I think that the Eagles can be more of a complete team with Garcia in there than McNabb.

With McNabb, they were pass happy....with Garcia, they will probably rely more on the run.

 

[juck]

why do all u reply to the eagle idiot threads?They come around when they win,then they lose and its see ya.Besides that isnt there any eagles boards?

 

[ilovejerry]

Jim what are you on? Can I get some! Better with Garcia, No way that team is only good cause they rely on Mcnabb, He was the one who constantly brings them back, They stink without him.

They stink with him, so, what's your point?

 

[Jimz31]

They weren't that "great" with him.

Garcia, when he was with SF, was a pretty darn good QB. So, to say that just because Garcia is the QB, they are going down, is NOT the way to look at it.

Face it, the Eagles were and have been one dimensional with McNabb at the helm. Having Garcia forces them to be a more complete team....this is all that I am saying. The announcers in their last game even referenced it about their WR's being able to run their routes completely because they know that they have a QB that won't start to run with it as quickly as McNabb did.

They are a more complete team with Garcia....not saying that they are necessarily "better", but not saying that they are any worse either.

 

[Jimz31]

Just look at the stats...yes stats are misleading, but we can use them.

Barcia is a more accurate passer....59.5% to 57%, and he has no INT's yet...YET.

Westbrooks AVERAGE rushing attempts have also gone up without McNabb.

 

[5Stars]

They are a more complete team with Garcia....not saying that they are necessarily "better", but not saying that they are any worse either.

Well, at least with Garcia, opposing teams won't have to worry about playing on a vomit filled football field...!

Garcia in SF had tremendous personnell to run the west coast offense. They were really well equipped. This eagles team is close that, but garcia was never asked to throw the ball down the field in SF, in philly andy reid likes more than anything to go over the top.

I honestly believe reid has taught mcnabb to go through his reads backwards, well backwards for a west coast offense. I believe most west coast offenses work from closest to furthest, it is a short pass ball control system relying on the run after the catch. I think reid however has taught mcnabb to go through the progressions deep to short because of the talent he has had the last three years around him and because of mcnabbs magnificent arm.

i think that is where the real adjustment is, the eagles have relied on the big play and the deep ball and garcia has to have adjustments made play call wise because he reads the way he was taught in sf. I think that is part of the reason he struggled in cleveland, they were looking to pound the ball and take the deep shots, with the progression being deep to short but garcias arm and size play to the short to deep progression and relying on the run after the catch.

If the eagles can stop the run and move the ball without the big play they are an excellent team. That has not been the case. Last week they played the panthers who lack a running game and they got two big plays out of stallworth.

I agree about the West Coast style of offense relying on a short passing game....which Garcia may be better at. Look at the yards per attempt...McNabb was at 8.4 and Garcia is at 5.8, which shows that Garcia is sticking with the way that the West Coast offense is more structured towards.

I'm trying my best to understand what some of you are saying, but I'm hearing more than one thing.

Experienced fans are basically sayiing "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."

Conservative fans are saying Garcia has some decent stats (no interceptions, completion rates, etc), he is a scrambling Qb who knows how to hold onto the ball, and he can read a defense. However, he is not McNabb ...which may not be such a bad thing.

Other elements are slinging the usual insults at me, without any real fundamental justification.

But the common thread is that Dallas will" roll-over" Philly in December. Indeed, that maY/may not occur, but it was never the issue! Recap the thread, take a close look, I never tried predict a winner. The entire emphasis of my thread was to have you consider the Eagles as the most dangerous opponent you have remaining In the 2006 NFL regular season, based on the fact that the Eagles are your only remaining division opponent.

When was a division game ever not dangerously tough (rhetorically speaking)?!

Why so much hostility about a game that you have to sith through other games to even make that assessment. If I were asked the same question that I asked you, here are some potential responses ...

Of course the Eagles are a dangerous opponent; perhaps the "most dangerous" if yet to be seen. And, they become even more dangerous depending on your win and loss ratio between now and December. Coupled with the fact that if(because we do not take the Commanders lightly, regardless of their last game, or their standings, and based on the fact that they are completely out of the playoff picture ...if fact, I consider the Commanders a very dangerous opponent!

Some of you have very limited memory, or perhaps some of the sting is gone as a result of the results of the initial meeting between our two teasm in Philly. But that game in Philly and the rematch in Dallas was billed as One of the exciting meetings that was to be held in the 2006 season (partly due to the McNabb versus T.O. madness). But even now, regardless of that little side bar issue, this game is huge!

Health and momentum are going to play major roles in determining the outcome of the going Into the Eagles versus Cowboys game. That arm can swing in either direction. If the Cowboys Manage to continu their winning ways, the game between our two teams may not seem as important to the Cowboys as it would have; especially if a win or loss is not a factor In the playoff race (coupled with the fact that McNabb versus T.O. is postponed until the 2007 season). But remember this ...if the Eagles continue winning, that momentum could be a very dangerous entity. Also keep in mind, that while McNabb is out of the picture in our next meeting, T.O. is still there and Is still a motivation for the Eagles defensive team.

My bottom Line is that I'm not making a prediction, most of you who know me can tell you that I'm not big on making predicitons, but I will say ...

hellyeah, we'll be dangerous, win or lose!

Sure the Eagles are dangerous but not to contenders. Contenders will take care of business and the Eagles won't have an opportunity against them, the Cowboys are contenders.

Good grief Charlie Brown... no one (or very few of us) ever said the Eagles "were NOT at all dangerous."

But your thread is titled MOST Dangerous. Sorry, the most dangerous team on our schedule RIGHT NOW is the Saints.

Get back to us next week. It may be the Falcons, it may be the Eagles. We need more information to determine between those two.

I'll sum it up so even you may understand it.

The Saints and Cowboys are vying for the #2 seed in the playoffs which includes a bye week and at least one home game.

The winner of Sunday Night's game gains a tie-breaker advantage and goes one game ahead of the other - that's huge. Therefore, the Saints are the most dangerous team the Cowboys have left to face.

The Eagles are irrelevant.

Let them scramble and hope they get into the playoffs, the Cowboys have bigger things to look forward to.

The Eagles are just another opponent at this point.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Worthy of respect, sure, but not fear. And for the last time, they're not "dangerous". Especially not after the Giants neuter them!

Sure, you've made it plain, better than anyone so far! However, I disagree with one point ...while the Saints game may be the most important
game, it may not necessarily prove to be the most dangerous game remaining.

To me, they're one in the same.

The most important is the most dangerous.

And I'll worry about facing an 8-4 team over a 6-6 team every time.

 

[lurkercowboy]

I understand the "any given sunday" standpoint, but teams won't lay-off against another team this time of year. you wont take anyone lightly.

You might see some of that in the last game of the year, but not now by any means.

As an aside, when is the last time a team "mailed it in" against Dallas?
