It's not drinking blue kool aid when your team has just won three games in a row, considering that one of those teams were the Atlanta Falcons. It's not drinking blue kool aid when your only two losses were against the Giants and Broncos (both by only single digits)...

Romo has played in three straight games without throwing an interception...not kool aid, fact.

Miles Austin and the receiving corps have come to life...not kool aid, fact.

The Dallas Cowboys now sit atop the NFC East with a 5-2 record...again not kool aid, fact.

Predictions?

A hard fought game in which I think Dallas has an excellent chance of winning. Not kool aid, fact.

Cowboys.....FOX put a stat up Sunday on Romo saying that he was like 11-1 in the month of November. Wow!!! I hope he can keep it up, because contrary to what some believe, when he is good the Cowboys are good, but when he is bad the Cowboys are bad.

I think the cowboys can win, the eagles defense is what killed us last year, dawkins and them are gone........and it is in november romo doesnt start choking till december, and january...

I'm of course taking the Cowboys. Undecided on a score prediction yet though. Could be a tight game, or could be a complete blowout, either way.

As could be every game. Just yanking your chain a little bit lol. i know what you mean, any game between these two are extremely difficult to foresee the outcome. Have to go with the boys though, on top of any point givin so far, the D is playing great IMO the past couple weeks.

I'm going with the Cowboys by no more than 10 points. Cowboys have been playing good ball the last three games, but so has Philly. Whoever wins takes the lead in the NFC East. Go Cowboys.
HitEmHarder
Pullin for the 'Boys, but thinking that the birds may have their number. Game is in Philly, never easy to win there. The D-line needs to pressure McNabb and contain him in the pocket. Romo and Williams need to get on the same page or else Williams needs to find a playbook that makes sense to him - plus he needs to learn how to block downfield. All that said...can Dallas pull off a win....no doubt.
WETSU
the cowboys have it going right and Austin has brought new life to Romo and the whole cowboys team. The excitement is trickling down to the entire team and they are playing with a swagger. Dallas is fixing to begin a run that will last all the way until dec i think. They will get rocked by the saints but otherwise they will finish around 11-5 i think.

I've been drinking the Silver, Black, and Blue Kool-Aid for 37 years. I have hated drinking the stuff for the past 13 years, it makes me sick to my stomach. Hopefully the Blue and Silver Kool-Aid will flow on Sunday. This is a must win game. The Cowboys and Eagles are tied for the NFC East. There are many playoff implications with tie breakers.

This to me is the biggest game of the year. The Cowboys win, they are in the catbird seat. The Cowboys loose, and they could be a .5 game behind NY, and 1.5 games behind Phi. I hope there is a sense of urgency at Valley Ranch this week. Can Romo hold up to the pressure ? He hasn't been able to do it in the past. It's time to get the monkey off his back, if not...The beagles could make the Cowboys look like the giAnts this past weekend.

Actually they are not. Technically they are tied, but in reality they are behind. Eagles are 2-0 in division games and
Cowboys are 0-1.

Give me a win at Philly & I'll start believing.

This is key fact. If Eagles go 3-0 and Cowboys 0-2, Dallas could be looking at wildcard spot early. It's difficult for me to see Cowboys winning at Philly, but stranger things have happened in the NFL.

I believe Dallas has a tougher game against Philly than New Orleans. I really like New Orleans but no way in a match-up with Dallas. Philly and Dallas have a history that shows either team can win.
stevosev7
i think dallas can win...they gotta run the football this week though. i agree that dawkins being gone is really a key factor...
Coach0001
Agree with THS if they win in Philly Ill take a big glass

If you lose it would look tough to take the crown in the division due to being 0-2 in div play

I hope that the Cowboys will come out sunday night and show some passion, after a 44-6 loss last year i hope they come out and make a statement against the eagles letting them know that they are ready to go and make a run. I would like to see the cowboys player mixing it up and laying some hits on the eagles palyers.
THSfanatic
Definitely rooting & hoping for a Dallas win.

My gut tells me Eagles pull away in 2nd half. I believe they will put LOTS of pressure on Romo.

This will be a good game like most of the NFC East games (except for the Redskins this year) but if the Cowboys secondary can show up like they have been the last couple weeks, and shut down Desean Jackson I think the Cowboys can win. I think that D Ware can apply some pressure to McNabb and force some bad throws which will lead to some PIX. Romo has had 3 solid games in a row I don't think that our offense will be a problem. When the Cowboys played the Giants Romo did have 3 PIX but what people don't realize is Eli Manning stuck it to our secondary which lead to the game winning field goal. I think it will rely on the secondary. If they don't show up Mcnabb and Jackson will pick them apart. However, the secondary has had a good game 2 weeks in a row and I think that they can keep that up. Plus we have Felix Jones (one of the most explosive running backs in the league) healthy again, one hand-off to him could lead to 6 easily. If Roy Williams and Romo can change something and get on the same page that will be another threat to worry about for the Eagles. And you can't leave out Miles Austin. Since he has become a starter he has been HUGE he will be extremely hard to stop. Another thing to worry about is the offensive line for the BOYS. The O-line has had trouble in some games this year but if they can cut down on the penalties, TRIPPING lol, and improve the protection they will have it in the bag. If they can give Romo time he will get the ball to somebody. All this said I'm taking the Cowboys in a close NFC East rivalry game.

Cowboys 31
Eagles 24

I love blue koolaid.

Seriously, I don't even know what the line on this game is, but if I had to set it I'd say Philly by 4 at home. That said, the Cowboys CAN win this game. Will they? Depends on which team shows up.

Division games are hard to predict because each team knows the other so well. I believe the only game we won in '89 was at Washington, and the Redskins had a very good team that year.
ATLFalcons
Hate to say it but................

Eagles by double digits
badblackcat


Believe I saw a statistic recently that showed that the Eagles have only 6 scores that came on long, sustained drives. The rest were from short fields, turnovers, or the result of a long play.

Hopefully the Cowboys will keep protecting the ball, their ST can keep pinning them deep, and our pass rush will keep their wideouts from getting too deep.

Another thing to watch is how often Philly passes...they have a losing record for the last few years when their passing plays are double over their running plays.

If the Cowboys win it then I may get off of them a little.

I believe Dallas will win by 14+. That's right, I said 14+.
Roughriders04
I think the key for dallas is just to run the ball, and control the clock.....Last week philly killed the giants wtih big plays....just keep it away from mcnab and jackson....

I agree with running the ball. Dallas is really doing well passing the ball, but you still should never get away from the run unless it is at the end of the game and you need some quick scores.
DaveTV1
This is going to be a tough game in Philly. It's a night game, and the Philly fans are already upset with the World Series loss. This is a very important game, and I hope the 'Pokes are prepared. I don't think the Cowboys can win it on a Sunday Night in Philly. I hope they do, and it might change my opinion on the rest of the season. Let's Go Cowboys. It's time to get up, and be ready. I'm praying that I don't use this icon tomorrow night yawn.gif
WETSU
The eagles will shut down Austin this weak...But Witten goes off! 500+ yards and 6 tds given up to TEs the last 5 weeks for the eagles.

And the eagles cannot run the ball enough to keep Ware from pinning his ears back and having a big game.

Coboys win by 13
KirtFalcon
Eagles by 17

Puff, Puff, Pass...

This will be a pretty tough game. The Cowboys always seem to struggle in Philly. I believe the Boys are good enough to win this one convincingly but, Philly has been playing really good ball lately too. This won't be an easy game for either team, however it should be exciting to watch.

Go Cowboys.

Yes, I can't wait to see the Cowboys get loose and run all over Philly also!

I'm sure you didn't mean that you want the Cowboys to LOSE did you?

looks like the eagles are gonna bring lots of pressure tonight....we gotta get run game going....

Piece of cake out there for Dallas so far. Philly has no answer to Dallas' offense.

Oh yeah did I mention that new york gnats are still not very good.
Roughriders04
37 yards on 7 plays nice little drive.....7-0...i kinda like garrett play calling so far.....it is still early though
formerBULLDAWG
Looking great so far.
Roughriders04
J. Ratliff is a great player, his motor never stops.........
THSfanatic
I know I'll get blasted for this.....but Romo is throwing too much to Witten on 3rd & short. Twice already we've had 3rd & less then 4 and he throws 1 or 2 yd passes to his TE.

Dallas letting Eagles stay close despite having no offense. Not a good sign. After the 1st drive Dallas is showing nothing on offense. They should be able to run against the Eagles.
THSfanatic
OMG......1st & goal at the 4 and have to settle for FG to end half.

Wasted chances.....................................................
Roughriders04
that was def interfence on samuels.......should have gotten the TD there.........
