Also, sources are reporting that Brian Westbrook will not play tonight contrary to previous reports.

think I'll enjoy the awesome weather here in Pa
at least we know the weather for tonight’s game will be great.
In Romo we Trust
Ooh. A bad pass by Peyton Manning. On 4th down no less.
Even rarer than the mythological great white buffalo.
man, screw this undercard...
I’m a Cowboys fan transplanted into Philly…tonight should be fun…

11 SUPER BOWL TROPHIES HAVE BEEN WON BY NFC EAST TEAMS AND HOW MANY HAVE THE EAGLES WON
+ 1000
Wade Phillips has never won a playoff game as a head coach..he has lost 4 home playoff games.
His longest tenure as head coach was 3 years.
Only once did his record as a HC improve from one year to the next (by 1 game)

Cutler really put his world class arm on display with this drive
long pin point accurate throws. Say what you want about Orton, but he doesn’t have the potential that Cutler has.
Yeah but he has a better attitude
Cutler reminds me of the coach’s whiney son. He is also inconsistent.
Most mediots are picking the Philthy Birds
Makes me sick. 44-6 route last year, these guys better get some payback!

cinci's playing good this year.....
they’re 5-2….and one of their losses was that weird pass play to stokley (week 1). Benson leading the league in yards…..and of course……roy williams anchors that great secondary
Cincinnati is Good This Year
And Raf deserves props for calling that back before the season started.
That said, the question is, do the Ravens drop to 4-4? I think they’re better than that, and home field advantage doesn’t matter as much in divisional games. I thought the Ravens were going to take this one.
Wow, looks like they’re now up 17-0. Quite a hole for Baltimore to dig out of.
I hope the Ravens lose the rest of their games.
And fire their smartass HC.

My God, Westbrook the Cowboy Killer is out?
See ya all later. No football today, until the Cowboys/Eagles kick off. Concrete forms to build. Later.
Family, Friends, Cowboys, Beer & BBQ. Life is good!
wow...
The Falcons DST was there for the taking on the waiver wire and I picked up the Seahawks instead…
The Seahawks D will be good for today
But the Falcons had a good matchup against the Redskins. The skins have one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
I think the fish are
the best coached team in the league.
I didnt see it personally
But I read that Hall hit Matt Ryan out of bounds then got into a scuffle with some Falcons players. Mike Smith just came over and snatched Hall away from his team.
Again, I didnt see it. So, the above is probably hyperbole..
It was actually Laron landry with the late hit but you know Hall cant keep his yap shut.
KICK ASS every day!!!
Hall is a fool

LOL, I forgot about that
11 SUPER BOWL TROPHIES HAVE BEEN WON BY NFC EAST TEAMS AND HOW MANY HAVE THE EAGLES WON
I'm confused I came back from the gym and Chicago only rushed the ball FOUR times
and it is 6:40 in the 3rd. WTF? Who is their o-coordinator? And I thought Garrett liked to pass.
Chicago forgot to showup today
11 SUPER BOWL TROPHIES HAVE BEEN WON BY NFC EAST TEAMS AND HOW MANY HAVE THE EAGLES WON
Chicago is gonna forget to show up a lot..
With Urlacher done for the year they lost their emotional leader. And Cutler shows what he brings to a team..inconsistency and bad attitude. Cutler has great talent and a huge upside but how many bad seasons will it take for him to realize his talent won’t win games for him alone.
They also need a better O-line
Wade Phillips has never won a playoff game as a head coach..he has lost 4 home playoff games.
His longest tenure as head coach was 3 years.

by SDTrueblue on Nov 8, 2009 2:27 PM CST via mobile reply actions
He has 317 yards passing 2 tds and no ints
he showed up today. Unfortunately the rest of Chicago didn’t.
Aikman just said
“The League couldn’t have two better representatives than Warner and Fitzgerald”…yet it ended up being Ben and Holmes that won the superbowl…am I the only one that finds that ironic?
hes right though – warner and fitz are class acts.
Tampa beatin' up GB
From Pewter to Pumpkin. If they get this win, they’ll probably stay orange the rest of the year
Can't believe they just got their butts handed to them
2nd week in a row. WC lookin iffy for them dudes.

Pick for Tampa D
They just made the Packers look JV…LOL. Guess the Pack just can’t win in Raymond James Stadium.
they can do the same thing to NO that miami did
but the result may be the same.
For the wildcard race...
That GB loss is huge. If Dallas doesn’t win the division it puts alot of seperation between them and GB if Dallas beats GB.
That with the win over Atlanta and Big D has an inside track at the playoffs.

Definitely
Doesn’t look like Chicago is going to be a threat either, which helps.
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 10-6
2009 New York Jets: 11-5?
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25
haha +1
I should’ve just added my post to this.
We’re in really good position right now. Carolina may be a player in the WC and we even have the edge over them.
Yep
Winning the right games.

LMFAO
Giants botched field goal. What has happened with that team?
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 10-6
2009 New York Jets: 11-5?
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25
That may be true
But they used to look competent.
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 10-6
2009 New York Jets: 11-5?
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25
their oline was great last year
but they suffered a couple injuries, and imo, its hard to keep up that mental toughness you need to impose your will in the run game week after week, year after year.
Eli is playing about as well as last year, he just doesn’t have the aid of teh leagues best run game.
Defensively…tons of injuries. Tons of them. Kenny Phillips being done for the year really hurts them – that may be a franchise altering injury if its career ending.
They have Canty back today
And someone else. Can’t remember who. We’ll see how that affects their game.
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 10-6
2009 New York Jets: 11-5?
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25
If their secondary is as bad as last week
it won’t make a difference. Their linebackers aresubpar too, but their dline usually makes up for t.
What is happening to this conference?
GB and Chicago are at 4-4. A win this game and we actually go up 2 games in the wildcard and 1 or 2 in the division. A win the next two weeks and we are in GREAT position to make the playoffs, having tiebrakers over pretty much everyone.
Payton came out throwing every play and N.O. is down by
14 points. They are running again so we will see. Garrett falls in love with the pass to.
KICK ASS every day!!!
but he tends to do that
when we’re trailing.
When we’re leading/tied, garrett is a great playcaller.
I missed that in the Giants game when we were up and running at 8 yards a pop.
I think both Payton and Garrett are good play callers but they can both fall in love with their passing games.
KICK ASS every day!!!
are you saying we stopped running the ball in the GIants game?
Maybe I misunderstood your post, but 1 stupid pass by Romo shouldn’t be blamed on Garrett. He stuck with the run game throughout. Even when we went down with time running out.
It wasnt that game though that pass bothers me.
Last year both over did the throwing. This year he has gone with a more balance attack. Just game frustration coming though.
Sometimes I feel Garrett out thinks himself but Im being picky. I like him and think he has grown quite a bit as an OC.
KICK ASS every day!!!
I think that Atlanta exposed something with the Saints.
They can be ran on, and to me that is probably one of the biggest weakness’s to have as a team.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Nov 8, 2009 3:35 PM CST up reply actions
Detroits not totally awful
With Stafford, they’re actually pretty good offensively. Above average I think. Defensively they’re awful.
Vince Young is looking...
like an NFL QB.
Good for him.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Nov 8, 2009 3:36 PM CST reply actions
If Drew Brees
played for Dallas people would talk about his penchant for turning the ball over.
I’m not hating, he’s a GREAT QB, but he turns the ball over quite a bit and it’s kind of just swept under the rug.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Nov 8, 2009 3:52 PM CST reply actions
you're probably right
he definitely is more turnover prone than the elite qbs like brady and manning.
Brees is pretty similar to Romo imo, but at this point, a slightly better qb.
Oh I agree...
but if he was in Dallas he would have the big game stigma on him.
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Nov 8, 2009 4:41 PM CST up reply actions
2 more passes and a pick.
Payton and Garrett, long lost twins. The panthers are all over the pass.

Picks are part of the game
Unfortunately, Tony doesn’t always get cut the slack some other qbs get. He has some memorable ones and he has had some days we would all like to forget. There is improvement and he will close the deal in many games this year. Maybe then the memory will get a bit faded.
He sounds like he has some kind of affected accent

Why would you have Alex Smith throw 33 times and run the ball 20 times (when Gore is 15 for 83) when you’ve controlled most of the game? Yes I do have Gore on my team!!!

Just a kittle tidbit to nibble on before the game
Eagles have never won a Sunday night game, while the Cowboys are 8-2. Interesting.
In Romo we Trust
Ya'll remember that Monday nite game
with the Iggs where RW screwed up or made, depending on your viewpoint, everybody’s Tuesday morning.? My family and friends in FW had all gone to bed and so did I. My son called and said get out of bed mom, the Cowboys have the ball!
I hope it doesn’t go to the last minute tonight though. Those kind of games make you age fast.

That was also the only game where Peerless Price did squat as a Cowboy.
He had a real long reception early. Hell, I’d almost totally forgotten about him.
No babe
He just intercepted it I think, IIRC, then the offense had to score, which they did. That was sweet indeed, and funny as hell, as the entire Metroplex had gone to bed, or at least half of them, woke up and read it in the DMN or the Star-Telegram!!

Good for Vince Young
for picking up a tough road win. Don’t know why SF decided to revolve their offense around Smith instead of Gore today.
Even though they're an NFC team
I’m kind of happy for New Orleans. Their fan base is more devoted to the team than I think most realize, and that’s impressive when you consider the fact that the Saints don’t really have any “glory years”.
I still believe in Romo.
I have to wonder how much of that is a post-katrina rally
by AustonianAggie on Nov 8, 2009 6:46 PM CST up reply actions
Given Some of the Football Horrors
That have befallen them over the years, I’m happy to see them kick some butt too. They blew last minute leads in 1978 and 1983 to miss the playoffs, then lost their first four playoff games, three of them at home. Payton has done wonders for the franchise, and given what the city has gone through after Katrina, I wish them the best, unless they play us.
I think it has a lot to do with post-Katrina
They had never sold out a full season until the year of their return. Since then, there has been so many more casual fans than before. Most of the people in New Orleans watch the Saints every Sunday now. All it took was that playoff year for everybody to get into it. It will be interesting to see whether its just the hardcore fans watching again if they have a few bad seasons in a row. But yea, its what everybody talks about down here now, and it very exciting for the city. It needs whatever revenue the Saints can bring.
But don't get it mixed up...
I still love the cowboys!!
can't hardly stand the waiting....damn eagles will be bringing the blitz no doubt....i want to see
if JG and the offense have laid out some plays / quick slants to burn them when they do

They'd better have a plan. Just play smart football. The way I always figured you beat the blitz
was by throwing quick slants but I haven’t seen Tony throw those very well.

Although I don’t hold that stuff against him as much as some do. The punishment was overkill just like what Plaxico Burress is doing time way beyond the offense. Just think, you might be spending time in jail soon for not buying health insurance.
