That's right, poised and ready to go are your rested and running on all cylinder friendly neighborhood Dallas Cowboys. Our running game is looking better each week. We've had two weeks to prepare for you. Julius Jones looks to get back on the field and has some real depth behind him. On the other side of the ball, you have the defense that has allowed the lowest completion percentage in the NFL going against a team that can't run to save it's ass, and a knicked up QB with one less target to throw to.
On the other side of the field is a team in turmoil. The fact that Andy Reid has left some wiggle room in his suspension of TO will just add to the distractions this week. You're looking at going 1-4 aginst the NFC at 0-3 in division, with the Giants coming in a week later. Of your remaining 8 games, only the Packers and Cardinals look like beatable teams. Ok, maybe you squeak one out against the Rams, but you fellas are fucked. Here's how it shakes out for you, I'll even give you splits with the giants and Skins (Which you won't do).
10 Mon. Nov. 14 9:00 p.m. ET Cowboys -L
11 Sun. Nov. 20 1:00 p.m. ET at Giants -L
12 Sun. Nov. 27 4:15 p.m. ET Packers -W
13 Mon. Dec. 5 9:00 p.m. ET Seahawks -L
14 Sun. Dec. 11 4:05 p.m. ET Giants -W
15 Sun. Dec. 18 4:15 p.m. ET at Rams -L
16 Sat. Dec. 24 4:05 p.m. ET at Cardinals -W
17 Sun. Jan. 1 4:15 p.m. ET Redskins -W
Finishing off at a pedestrian 8-8. No wild Card for you. No Playoffs. Nada, nothing, Zip.
Glad the Boys can help put your mind at ease this week, and go ahead a nail that coffin shut. It's the least we can do.
Sig/Av bets?

I'd hold onto Barber. JJ [edit]Isn't[/edit] 100% yet, and given Barbers performance, Parcells may play him quite a bit. I'd bench Barber if you can, and see how Monday night plays out.

Gotta agree with HH. The Dallas RB situation is far from set. Unless you have other pressing needs, hanging onto Barber could pay off.

9-7 is realistic at this point. 10 wins is probably a stretch, so is 8-8. The Eagles really should have won that game but made some bad mental mistakes at the end of the 1st half with that fake spike. The play calling at the end of the game once again left me scratching my head. Westbrook wasn't even in on the last play!
Cowboys should win this division. Skins won't be in the playoff picture with the emergence of the Panthers.

Aside from TO Philly's problem is fundamental. What sticks out to me like a sore thumb is how poorly the Eagles Oline run blocks. Alexander or LT would have been shut out last night if they were in that backfield. Granted the Skins have good D, but those stiffs weren't blocking anyone. Veteran OT’s Jon Runyan and Tra Thomas don’t open up many holes or get a lot of push up front. This season the bottom line for the Eagles is, Huge Douglas wasn't the only old dog that needed to be put to sleep.......

Since the Eagles mostly run up the middle I would say the guards need to do a better job and Hank Fraley is overrated because he isn't a good run blocker. The Eagles have taken away Runyan's ability to play the way he likes to play which is hard nosed and a bit dirty. I have not seen him taken any cheap shots at guys near a pile. That disappoints me.

Makes me glad to be a 'Skins fan, at least for this week!
I'll look forward to seeing the Cowpokes and Iggles beat each other senseless next Monday night. :twisted:

Ok here we go Seagull fan. It sucks that Dallas will have to deal with an emotionally hyped Eagle team playing at home without their cancer. I am in agreement with Mcnabb that they will be a better team without TO. If Dallas can weather that storm and be effective in the air like they were a few weeks ago, than the Boys should be ok. I have a real bad feeling about this though. Parcells is notorious for conservative playcalling when the Boys are on the road and now is not the time to fall into this stuper. The Boys must kick the Seagulls when they're down and keep them down. Give the Gulls a little room to breathe and this one, like a few others this season, will bite us in the ass.

As usual, all sig/Av bets are on like Donkey Kong biaaaaaattttttccccchhhh.

I am in for this week. This is a game the Eagles could win provided they back up all the team bs they've been spewing since TO was suspended etc..
I don't see anything better than a 9-7 finish. Anything better is going to require a total team effort AND Andy Reid to coach his ass off. I think he and the team can do it for 1 week but I have my doubts for the rest of the season.
