Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

[QUOTE=Schneed10]From a Redskin fan's perspective, this only helps if the Redskins actually make the playoffs. We'd be getting ahead of ourselves if we thought about whether we met the Eagles after a bye or in the first round. Jeez people, it's week 5. We need to make the playoffs first and foremost. Dallas, NYG, Carolina, Atlanta, Seattle, Tampa, and STL are the teams we'll compete against for a wildcard spot. They're the ones that need to lose.

We're not taking the NFC East from the Eagles. It's just not going to happen, though I hope desperately that it does.[/QUOTE]

At 4-0 with a division win, you guys can now go .500 and wind up 10 - 6, and that might just include enough division wins to give you guys a bunch of tiebreakers.

Why are the Eagles a lock for the division?
This NFC East isn't going to lie down for them this year, so that means 6 games where they are going to have to fight for every inch of ground. Well Dallas might lie down but I hope they fight.
Their QB is getting beat up this year, and he hasn't faced a Serious Pass rush yet - After Hotlanta.
So really, It's wide open this year.

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

I'm gonna' agree with that one. McNabb is only going to get worse and worse. I know he's playing hot right now, but it only takes one big hit on that sternum.

I strongly disagree. McNabb looked tons better physically against KC than he did against Oakland. Here in Philly, reports are saying that his sternum and groin are healing up nicely, it's just the hernia he has to worry about for the long haul. And lots of players have played through that. McNabb's tough and I don't see him going down.

But even if he does, don't you remember when Koy Detmer came in and lit it up a couple years ago in relief of McNabb? Of course he got hurt pretty quick and AJ Feely took over, but Koy has been in that system for ages, he can run it.

The Eagles do this every single year. They go like 2-2 in their first few games, Reid has lost 5 out of 7 games in week 1. But then they always, ALWAYS go on a friggin tear. I think anyone who thinks they won't do that is getting a little too caught up in the results from the first 4 weeks. And just like those who said TO and McNabb couldn't work on the field together after all the drama, those who say McNabb can't stay on the field all year long are being very shortsighted.

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

I'd prefer to think that they are showing their mortality, Patriots-style.

Healing eh? Oh well. I never hope for injury, and I'm not going to. I'm just shocked I guess, that the presence of McNabb can make people like Lewis become all stars. I know TO makes most of the catches, but DAMN.

True the Eagles get on a run, but I think they are getting figured out by other teams. You can't stay on top forever and when the Eagles got beat by the Pats who really exposed their Pass first, second and third philosophy, other teams began to scheme the Eagles that way. After Dallas, they get a Bye then play SD and @Wash and @Denver. That could very concievable be a two or three loss span for them.

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

I wish they both could loose, but since that's not possible as much as I don't like the Cowboys I would like to see them pull a miracle as that's what it would take. We need Philly to loose as much as possible because they have a much better chance at the Division than does Dallas because they have a few more losses in store anyway. I'm rooting for us to take the NFC East so we need to lay those losses on Philly.

[QUOTE=doxiechic12000]My hatred for the Eagles far out does my hatred for the Cowboys. Would a defensive lineman please stuff his foot in T.O's ass please?[/QUOTE]

So nice to see that someone shares my views...as much as I hate the Cowbyotches, I totally and utterly dispise the Eagulls-their team, their fan, their city, which I like to refer to as "Filthydelphia" (as dirty as it is there), their stadium, their mommas, everything about 'em...I am going to have to go for the Cowbyotches on this one too....it would be better for us to have the Eagulls lose besides, quite honestly the "boys" ain't really as much as a threat as the "gulls" are.

Could a tie help it any? Course that sorta counts as a win both ways, doesn't it?

[QUOTE=BrudLee]

But aren't all Cowboy wins ugly, really?[/QUOTE]

No the Redskins are. Dallas games are heart attacks.
Cowboys score its exciting Unlike the Skin games.
Right now there on top 24-3 and driving.

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

Philly is getting shredded, no D at all

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

I got home the game was 14-0 and I was flipping between this, the baseball game, the Indy game and the Detroit-Calgary game.
The questions I have:
Is Dallas a legit contender? or
Did they just have one of those games? or
Is Philly not as good this year? or
Did THEY just have one of those days? or
Is McNabb hurt A LOT worse than they are leading on?

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

Ahhh...

I had a Philly and wiped the Eagles

Amazing what can happen when this team opens up its offense

I now feel a lot better

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

This game was almost satanic having to cheer for one of our rivals.......

the Eagles looked pitiful......couldn't pass, couldn't run, defense looked pathetic too......they left the NFC East wide open

the Cowboys were amusing as usual, Keyshawn squacked at Bledsoe when the team was annihilating the Eagles 30 to 10.......... :laughing-

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

I would of liked two more TDs. That Drop from Glenn hurt.

In order-

For the Wild Card, yes. For the division, maybe.

This was definitely "one of those games". That doesn't mean there won't be more of "those games", so keep your eyes on the Cowboys.

Philly is categorically not as good as last year. They aren't as good as starters, and they aren't nearly as deep, especially defensively.

This was definitely "one of those games". That doesn't mean there won't be more of "those games", so keep your eyes on the Eagles.

McNabb has been reported to have a sports hernia, a bruised sternum, and a shin injury. If there have been more injuries that haven't been reported, he would be dead. The problem is that if McNabb says he's ready to go, he's earned the right to do so - and the team has no one who can tell him otherwise, becuase they know the chances of winning are better with McNabb at 80% then with Detmer at 110%. He needs the rest, though, and it may be more than the bye week can provide.

OK BOYS!!!

Truthfully, I thought that without Dat at WILB westbrook was going to kll us. But NOW as i said before, PHILLY CAN BE HAD!! Are the Skins up to it? This NFC East is going to be a huge Dogfight and I for one see last place going to the Giants. First is between Skins, Eagles and possibly Dallas. We will see next week if Dallas can put away a very suspect NY Team.

You guys should have had Denver. Two Tatum runs was all the diff.

Re: Dallas or Philly?
 

I think the Eagles are succeptible to huge collapses. I think they might start becoming very similar to another feathered team: the Seahawks. Lots of injuries, off-and-on offense...
