Was there any point in the game where you thought the Boys would lose?

I got a little nervous when they called that illegal block on Witten. Then I knew that the refs was going to try and make this game close and possibly give the game to the Eagles.

But the way we dominated on defense and watching Mcnabb run for his life, I knew we were going to win the game.

Did you see that ref call a incomplete pass when Austin got mauled in the endzone? I think it was him who also made that call on Witten.

I never thought we would lose, but right after Romo threw that interception I thought it might end up being a closer game than I had originally thought.

Dallas is just better across the board than Philly this year. If they would have gotten out of their own way early, then the score would have been much, much worse.

I got a little worried in the beginning when I felt we should have been up 14 points and were committing penalties.

It didn't last long but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried there in the beginning.

About the same here. When we stumbled on the first 2 drives. And the INT that was overturned. We then went down and got the TD. And after the Eagles sputtered the next possession. Then I got the feeling. We score another TD.....then we will win.

No.

I was 100% sure that the Cowboys would win and never wavered on that during the game.

strangely, i did not doubt that we would win.
i just felt that we were dominating them on both sides of the ball in the trenches.

Nope.. I just felt it was our night. I thought the Eagles may have kept it close and we might have some adversity but we had the matchups and pound for pound were the better team. I also felt like this team had matured enough to fight through any bad breaks or adversity.

I wasn't any more nervous about the win than any other week...usually just pumped more than nervous...but I'll admit that Columbo had me nervous as hell seeing him hobble around like Fred Sanford. I kept waiting for the worst with him and expected Free to enter stage left real quick, but I'll admit Columbo did a good job...not great, but better than I thought.

I was talking to a co-worker today and he asked me that question.

I was extremely confident that the Cowboys would win this game.

For some reason, I just never got nervous that we would lose.

When Michael Vick hit the 76 yard TD, I felt this just showed that the Eagles were desperate and already digging into their bag of tricks.

Even before the interceptions was overturned, I just never felt the Eagles couldn't win.

when it should have been 17-0 and was only 7-7 and then it looked like Romo threw the INT. After that was overturned, I knew it would be our night.

I got nervous before the interception was overturned. I think they had also sacked us on that same drive.

Leaving multiple scores on the field in the 1st quarter didn't bode well. We have to finish off drives. The Vikings have put up a lot of points in their last 2 home games.

We need to really cut all these penalties down, especially in the red zone.

Before the INT was overturned, I have to admit: the "here we go again" thoughts stared to surface. When the call was overturned and the Cowboys went on to score, all doubt was completely erased. I knew we would win.

Exactly my thoughts. Great challenge by Wade.

On the near interception I remember thinking 'damn, this is going to be a fight' or something like that.
