I agree, the Eagles are the team that needs the loses. And as much as I hate Dallas, it really isnt that hard to hate the Iggles and root against them.

I'm rootin for the Cowboys,(did I just type that?). Around here, all the Eagle's fans knees are getting wobbly because they are so worried about McNabb's injury. A good hit on McNabb and a Cowboys victory would bring on a week long smile for me.

Exactly my point. Don't worry, Dallas will create losses this season, probably around eight or nine of them, but if they can hang a BIG 'L' on the Eagles, well that is just one step closer to no bye week for them.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.
