I thought this night would NEVER get here...
This is almost like a playoff game. I have never seen such build up to a week 2 game….
Mixed emotions
I am nervous about this game and how tough Philly always plays us at home. I am anxious for the first offensive series to see how we move the ball.
Also, I am sick and tired of hearing about the “celebrity” cowboys who are the best team on paper. I want the big nasties to come out and set the tone early by punching the iggles D in the mouth. I want Dware and Spencer to meet in the backfield for a Philly McNabbsteak and just send the eagles back to philly limping. LETS GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!
Its like I said yesterday...
I want McNabb to have nightmares of Ware standing over him, chanting in a low voice…..

When it comes to Philly...
and home games, we’ve got a gorilla on our backs…let get rid of that thing tonight
Not going to do it
I am going to take a lot of heat for this, but I don’t think we are going to pull this one out.
Eagles 27
Dallas 20
I really want to be wrong.
Just being objective
Romo hasn’t done well against the Eagles, save one game, and he plays poorly on Monday night.
Now, I WANT so much to be wrong, because I HATE the Eagles more than anything. But, I think their blitzing gets us and their special teams has a huge night.
you are wrong.....you been living under a rock ????

i was pretty close...
last week when I said 30-10 (we won 28-10). so i’m going to say 38-17.
let’s kill ’em Boys.
and gotta give a shout out to Julius Jones. He had a good game.
Let’s go!

I think we'll see more from him tonight
that preseason or the first game. they’ll start to roll out some variety.
I think they
just don’t want to give him too much to start with. I think the more he learns the playbook, the more dangerous he’ll be.

Was that Hamlin that tried to pick up the ball?
Man, that was bad. Thankfully Jackson never had possession. Whew, 3 I can handle, but damn.
Why did Akers point towards the sky?

and let’s not wait until we’re in the red zone on 3rd down to blitz next time! they won’t!

PI is the crappiest call in football IMO
You can just chuck it up and a horrible pass can net the same result as a good pass. That was a prime example.
