I'd usually dismiss this as typical Cowboy fan behavior after a loss, but the guy I know is a trustworthy guy, which I can't say about many Cowboy fans in northern VA. Did you happen to notice if any of Suisham's field goals were questionable? Thanks for you reviews.

when i was watching it I told my wife he missed it,then i was pleasantly surprised when they called it good

Philly has the best run defense in the NFL right now. They also have the best defense in the division through four weeks.

They like to play zone, and their LBs are not good in coverage. They are especially vulnerable to passes to the tight end. I think Campbell has proved that blitzing him is a poor plan, and I do think the Eagles are paying attention. Of course, they'll still bring the pressure on third down if they feel they can prevent a big play to Moss from occurring. MLB Stewart Bradley might be the most underrated player in the division now that Westbrook and Campbell are getting their dues.

I'm more worried about our defense vs. their offense then our offense vs. their defense. Campbell will do well, I think.

The best offensive plan, I would say, would to be (on passing downs) get Campbell in the shotgun, protect with seven, and let Moss, Randle El, and Cooley go to work on the Eagles secondary. Three reads for Campbell, and he gets the ball out quickly to the first guy to come open.

Wow Gtripp, you really went all-out on breaking everything down. Nice job.

I don't know if anybody else was paying attention, but I could clearly hear the fans in texas stadium saying cooooooooooley when good ole' 47 would make a catch. How funny is that? But, I can aso remember that back in 90's when Moose Johnson was still playing for the boyz, that he too would get some termites to yell mooooooooooooose. And I remember that that crap would piss me the f@#$ off too. Revenge is a dessert best served cold, and that is on the real.

Another good performance on the whole from this group. First the negatives: Randy Thomas struggled to remain consistent again, failing at his block on at least 5 different plays.

Can you chalk this up to age or too many all-you-can-eat buffets? Randy Thomas was our best lineman 2 or 3 years ago.

Age, system change, Old Country Buffet, I'm really not sure. Thomas is still good while pulling, but when we ask him to step into either gap and make a block to open up a cutback lane, he looks less than comfortable.

I think it's just a comfort thing that will come with time. But improved diet is never a bad idea.

Backside blocking was always one of out biggest weaknesses under Saunders. That, and Casey Rabach. Zorn has clearly been stressing the importance of backside blocking, and I think it's improving our running game, but some of the guys just aren't used to it yet.
