brief game analysis - Eagles have difficulty trying to balance between pressuring Bledsoe and covering the receivers. Joselio Hanson draws no less than 2 penalties. However, the Cowboys' offense is unable to run the ball consistently. The Eagles, conversely, are able to mix in the running game nicely with Westbrook having taken off last week to rest his gimpy knee. McNabb always has some mild fits with the 3-4 and clearly has some issues without Stallworth. Brown will have to get over the dropsies NOW and L.J. and Westbrook will be relied on greatly in the passing game. Greg Lewis staying hot would be a huge bonus, but it's unlikely.
final score - 24-21 Cowboys. Evenly matched game decided by two currently-inconsistent-but-formerly-extremely-accurate kickers in Vanderjagt and Akers. I think Akers misses a key FG, because I have no faith in him being clutch right now.

FF you've predicted loss in almost every game, haven't you? lol
I've picked them to lose in Yahoo Pick 'Em more than I actually predicted they'd lose in the score. I honestly think that the Cowboys are coming into this game very healthy and very confident and that T.O. would trade stats for the rest of the season just to play well in this game. The Eagles have already lost Kearse for the season and are still hurting in the secondary without Hood and without Lito at 100%. On offense, Westbrook should be effective if he plays, but not having Stallworth will take away some key options on offense, and the Dallas D can make some plays.
I think the teams are roughly even when healthy, so I give the edge to the Cowboys. From a fan perspective, I think the Eagles absolutely are capable of winning this game and I'd obviously love to see them do it. But after losing the last 7 divisional games, there's nothing leading into this one that would allow me to pick the Eagles from an objective standpoint.
predict TO's celebration dance when he gets a first down or, god forbid, a TD..... :paranoid
missing stallworth is huge...were he healthy id pick the eagles in a close game...without him they are going to struggle to move the ball with the wr's they have...mcnabb always throws up one or two atrocious games per year....i have a feeling he is gonna struggle in this one
another x factor is westbrooks health...is he gonna be like he was in sf and the eagles held him out vs gb to save him for sunday...or is he worse than he was in sf and he isnt gonna be himself
im with ff....i think the eagles can win this game but i dont think this is the time with the injuries and with dallas coming off two straight bye weeks
27-13 dallas

You're the one who put it in the thread, dook.
TO touchdowns - 1
brief game analysis - The key to the game is scoring first. I see Dallas getting the ball and with the crowd so noisey it's a 3 and out or close to it. McNabb hits Westy on a swing pass/screen that leads to or is a TD. Westy has a big day as does #5. They pick on Roy Williams and run quite a few deep slants. Eagles get a lead and 'relax' a bit and that's when Dallas makes a run. Close game but the Eagles don't let this one get away, specifically McNabb, who scrambles for a key first down in the 2nd half. Dallas played a tough Jax team in the opener, a struggling Washington team, and a high school team in Tenn. Point is that their defense has not been tested yet and McNabb & co. will do that.
final score - 27-20 Eagles
number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff - probably one or two, since I'll be going over to my buddies right before kick-off
TO touchdowns - 1
brief game analysis - Illadelph's first real test this year. Going to be a tight game IMO. Key to Birds winning is pressure on Bledsoe and the O-line protecting McNabb. Also Westbrook is our x-factor, with Westbrook I feel good, without, not so good. If Bledsoe has time our DB's are toast and it can turn ugly like last years first game. They also have a good D, so I'm anxious to see how Reid calls this game. I'd love to see a healthy dose of Westy, Buck and Moats on the ground and us establishing the run game early. Not only does it help pound their D, but I think will catch them off guard since everyone and thier grandma knows we are pass happy. Opens up McNabb, takes pressure off him. I think McNabb can dominate their DB's, but he's gotta be comfortable.

brief game analysis - Cowboys start the game by kicking of an onsides kick. Eagles recover, and run it in. 6 seconds into the game, Eagles up 7-0. That sets the tone. McNabb and Westbrook have huge games, and the secondary effectively keep TO in check. 4 catches for <60 yards, but one is a score. Glenn gets over 120 yards and a TD or 2. Bledsoe is sacked >4 times, and their running game is < 80 yards total. The score only looks close because Dallas (and TO) gets a TD in garbage time.
final score - 30-24 Eagles
TO TDs - At least 1 because he's a great receiver and it will make a good storyline
Brief game analysis - Some of you guys are giving Dallas too much credit, they're not that good...and that's not to say they're a bad team - they're just not anything special. Stallworth's abscence is a killer. I see a slow start by our team because that seems to be the trend.
Players of the game on O: McNabb/Westbrook/LJ. The real star and unsung hero will turn out to be our O-line who I am predicting will have a good game Sunday. Remember, last season when we lost on MNF (sorry to bring back memories) we ran the ball and completely controlled the clock vs. their D. Their D is basically the same D from last season - our O is not, its better. To me, they're the offensive key.
Defensively I'm predicting JJ to come up with some exotic blitz schemes because Bledsoe is so immobile and he will throw stupid picks. We haven't blitzed this season nearly as much as in seasons past, that changes come Sunday. Defensive MVP: Jimmy Johnson
Score predictiion:
Eagles 27
Dallas 17

brief game analysis - the eagles offense has been good all year. if westbrook plays, they should be able to keep it up. the cowboys secondary is average at best, so the key for both teams will be protecting the quarterbacks. i believe that the Eagles will be able to get to Bledsoe and force him into more mistakes than the Cowboys will do to Donovan

I am having a tough time getting a good feeling on this game. If Philly can play 4 quarters they will win, ,so far they have not shown that they can do that. The secondary has not been very good.
Prediction: Cowboys- 27
Eagles- 21
I hope I am wrong.
number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff - 16 Beers - 10 shots - 3 inappropriate hugs to strangers
TO touchdowns - 1
brief game analysis - Eagles running game will be more of a factor than expected with either Moats or Buckhalter getting 90 yds (if no Westbrook). I expect 2 TD from them. McNabb will rush for one & LJ Smith will get another. I expect TG will get 85 to 120 yds plus 1-2 TDs. TO will get a red-zone TD.
The Eagles D will get dinked underneath early & often, then burned deep late.
final score - 28- 21 Eagles
number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff - Hopefully not enough to pass out before kick off.
TO touchdowns - None. He's bait for Glenn to get the looks in the red zone
brief game analysis - The LB's have actually been playing passable football. The weakness in the secondary against TO and Glenn really puts things in Dallas favor on offense. The birds just have to get in Bledsoe's face and let him know their there. I don't think they'll have a problem with the run. The Eagles seem to come out real strong and fade or come out weak and get stronger. Because of the injuries this could be a weak but stronger game for them. If the defense can stay in Bledsoe's face all day this dame comes down to the 4th quarter when he is tired of getting knocked to the ground.
final score - 27 - 21 Eagles no Dallas, wait..... Eagles
27-24 Eagles on a 48-yarder by Akers as time expires. TO held in check, 5 catches, 48 yards no TDs.

That would be my guess too.
The energy at the Linc is either going to carry the team, or Dallas will take the wind out of the Eagle's sails by piling it on early. If the Eagles start out strong and get a couple of quick TD's and turnovers, they might win this going away. If they ride the wave of emotion which contributes to them making key mistakes early, it could get ugly very quickly.
I'd give the nod to the Eagles just because of the magnitude of the game, who is involved, and because they're at home. I'm hoping that they are motivated (in a sense) by losing 7 straight divisional games as well, instead of having that be a hindrance -- kind of taking the angle that they have something to prove; the whole 'shut up the critics' notion.
I'll say 31-17 if the Eagles jump on top of the Cowboys early, but if the fall behind early and make a bunch of dumb plays/emotionally-motivated penalties I could see this game ending up being 31-17 Dallas. But, I'm guessing the Eagles will be prepared sufficiently to prevent that from happening (I hope).
number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff : +/- 7
TO touchdowns: 0
brief game analysis: The game is won by the Eagles OL & DL. They give McNabb tons oftime and the defense gets to Bledsoe (they have to get him up the middle though - he CANNOT step up into the pocket)
Regardless of if Stallworth plays or not they will move the ball.
final score: Eagles win 27-17
number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff - 0
TO touchdowns - 1
brief game analysis - I'm worried about this game. The Eagles haven't played a complete game yet (except maybe the first, and that's debatable). Try to pull that Sunday, and I fear that Dallas will win easily. McNabb's been playing extremely well - and even ran on Sunday. Hopefully, that's a sign of things to come. Stallworth being out will be a small problem, but I fear the Eagles' injured and mediocre secondary against the twin terrors of TG and OD. The defensive line will have to put pressure on Bledsoe to keep him from reaching his prima donna receivers. I'm afraid they're not successful.
final score - Dallas wins 31-21
this thread will be revisited so be smart
number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff - 1,000
TO touchdowns - None if I can reach him from my seat.
brief game analysis - The Eagles secondary is going to get torched all game long. The Cowboys and that bitchass Owens are going to get theirs for sure. It's going to be a high-scoring affair and I think the difference is going to come down to special teams in one way or another. The Eagles offense is also going to torch the Dallas defense and once again McNabb will have to perform like Superman for them to win. I see the Eagles defensive line terrorizing Bledsoe and Romo all day long. I also see the Eagles offense line having a good game but also allowing a few sacks and busted-up running plays.
final score - Eagles 31 Cowboys 27.
How great would it be if we totally destroy Dallas. A no-contest game. Just kill Dallas. AND WE PRAY!! :evil :evil :evil :evil :evil :evil
i dont see how the eagle offense scores a lot of points in this game without any wr's
they have scored a lot this year against teams that are all in the bottom five of the nfl

brief game analysis: The Giants game again, but with better receivers, a better QB, and a less talented RB. Other than that, exactly like the Giants game.
final score: Dallas 35, Eagles 2
number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff : 0-3... Gotta work during part of the game.
TO touchdowns: 1
brief game analysis: I think there's a lot to be said about the emotion of the game... as evidenced a few weeks ago in New Orleans. I think the Eagles can ride the emotional wave to a quick start... hopefully, they break the trend of the last few weeks and keep that going. Westbrook playing will be HUGE because this offense just doesn't move well without him. Outside of that... it comes down to the lines... where I feel we have an advantage. If the line gives McNabb time and he gets comfortable back there... he can pick them apart... as long as LJ/Westbrook/Reggie/Greg come to play. Defensively, I think they can get to Bledsoe and force some mistakes. When/If he does... we need to capitalize ie... catching the INT/recovering the fumble... and then score points.
final score: 24-20 Eagles

If McNabb has time he'll find people. They can't cover everyone and they certainly have some weakspots on that defense. DeMarcus Ware hasn't been able to get consistent pressure. Akin Ayodele, Greg Ellis can be taken advantage of in coverage. As can the rookie FS Pat Watkins and Roy Williams.
Newman is a stud. Anthony Henry can be beaten.
If they blitz McNabb and have success at doing it - it will be bad. But if they blitz him and he makes 'em pay a couple of times and gets Zimmer to call off the pressure, that helps. And if they dont blitz and play back it will allow Donovan to have time to find receivers.
The 3-4 thing is overrated now that they have a center who can control those A gaps. Plus Jason Ferguson stinks.
There's no way I'll be sober for kickoff. But the need to see the game keeps me from unconciousness.
TO scores none, but Glenn has a big day.
This game will be brutal. If the Eagles can't get pressure with just the front four, they'll get annihilated. I agree with FF, the Birds should stop the run. McNabb needs a big day. Hopefully Jackson is better than Fraley with the 3-4.
It's gonna be painfully close (I'll prowl around my living room the entire game), but the homer in me says they'll win. When Brown went down holding his shoulder, I was on the other side. Lito and (hopefully) Westbrook playing ices it. 27-24 Eagles.
how many times in his non TO career has mcnabb had a huge game against a very good/great defense in a big spot
granted they havent exactly played many tough defenses over the years as the nfc has been brutal...but when they have it often turns up bad
carolina
giants
tampa
new england
pittsburgh
and i missing a game where he blew up against a high quality defense...maybe...but you get the point...
its not all mcnabb as he has had horrid receivers but thats what he basically has this game...which is why the absence of stallworth is gigantic...i think dallas can body up on the eagles pretty easily this game...
god i hope im really really wrong and mcnabb for once comes out in a gigantic pressure packed game and makes a statement because if he does and they can get stallworth back healthy at some point this team could do some things this year
if mcnabb and the offense drop another egg this game then he needs to retire
Nice hyperbole. If you believe he should retire after this game, GTFO.
Quote from: ice grillin you on October 06, 2006, 07:56:00 PM

That couldn't be much more ridiculous a comment.
I think this thread got a little too pessimistic in a hurry. Dallas is a good team, I can't take that away from them. They definitely have more talent this year than in year's past. But, this game is still completely winnable, and this offense has looked pretty darn good for the most part this season.
This game is probably won at the line of scrimmage (like mostly every game is). The pass protection for the Eagles this year has been excellent, and you can just tell that all the o-linemen are getting off the snap together and are really forming a nice pocket for McNabb. If they do give him time on Sunday he does have the knowledge to pick apart a defense. The problem is the # of dropped passes this year has been inexcusable. That needs to change this week. A fast start, coupled with a few great defensive stands, hopefully with a timely turnover in there somewhere, and I think the Eagles can jump on top of the Cowboys. However, that, of course, remains to be seen.
I completely agree with Jay, too. They need to pressure Bledsoe up the middle and get in his jaw all day. Blitzing off the edge does nothing because Bledsoe still has a pretty quick release and he's pretty good at hitting his hot receiver in those situations. The need to come straight up the gut with blitzes and make him feel uncomfortable in the pocket. The dude is a friggin' statue, I'd much rather him try and roll out and make a play than have him sit in the pocket and throw it deep to Glenn. Hell, if you force Bledsoe to roll out he might trip over his own two feet.
So, we need excellent pass protection, and we need great pressure from our DT's and whoever JJ sends through the middle. Hopefully this is a big day for our highly-touted interior linemen. Time for Bunkley, Patterson, Walker, and Ramsey have played particularly well this year -- pretty much all of them have made a big play this year. Hopefully they step it up even more.
number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff - 4
What, no other drugs rate?
TO touchdowns - 1
brief game analysis - TO is effective, but Glenn stars for the Cowboys passing game. Witten is contained. Jones is not, he hurts the Eagles badly. Westbrook does not play. Bledsoe has plenty of time to throw. Cowboys lead early, Reid abandons the run. McNabb keeps it close, running more than last week, but ultimately wilts. If the Eagles do win, they won't convince anyone that they particularly deserved it. An Eagles win likely comes by a lucky play late.
final score - 31-27 Cowboys

Number of drinks--2
TO TDs--1
Game analysis--Reid and Marty revisit 2005 when they piled 181 rushing yards on the Cowboys. McNabb will hit a couple of quick screens that will go a long way. The defense will surprise Bledsoe, as he will be expecting them to blitz, which they won't do very often--their concentration instead will be to stop Julius Jones. In a bit of a surprise, both Westbrook and Stallworth play even though both aren't at 100%.
Intangibles--The crowd will be a major factor in this game and the Eagles will feed of that. McNabb will play like a man possessed--he wants to prove Owens wrong, while at the same time signaling to the rest of the division that he's capable of putting a team on his shoulders and carrying them when he has to. Bledsoe's interview where he dared the Eagles to "blitz me and pay the consequences" will blow up in his face.

Eagles- 23
other team- who cares they lost
I'm looking for the kind of home field advantage that enabled the Falcons to walk in to a "buzz saw" in New Orleans.
I know u guy's hate the long threads, but I believe in REALLY breaking down a game. This is no 3 answer prediction, but an in depth look at REAL strategy and keys to victory.
Dallas Strategy on O: I can see the Tuna being wise, and using some of what the Packer's did last week. The Boyz will run the ball often, regardless of the outcome per play. When they do throw it, Bledsoe will throw from a 3 or 5 step drop, and allow his receiver's to pick up YAC. This will negate the pass rush, as you saw on Monday night. It will be tough to cover Jones out of the backfield, and I see JJ rolling his coverage towards Glen and NOT towards T.O. (Historically, JJ's D has always handled T.O. very well) Jason Whitten is the real problem here. If he exploits the seams, we are in trouble. I also see Tuna using a lot screens & misdirection plays, off of Jones chipping a pass rusher, then releasing out.
Dallas D: Without Stallworth, they will simply man up on the Eagle WR's, and take their chances. I see R. Williams in the box all day, TRYING to shadow B-West, and stuffing the run. If they can make the Eagles one dimensional by taking away the run, they will zone dog a lot, and try to put the heat on FIVE. We all know that this Eagle team has historically had trouble against the 3-4 defense. Frankly, they stink at deciphering who's blitzing from the zone dog, and picking up the right people. Maybe it was Fraley's line calls, I dunno...we shall see. The Eagles MUST stay with the run, to keep the heat off of Five!
Eagle O: They will need at least 30 combined rushing attempts to be in this game, and keep FIVE alive and effective. Buck has always had good games against the Boys, so I expect him to get the bulk of the carries, while the abscence of Stallworth, will force Andy to use B-West to spread the field. We all know Andy wants to get him matched up on a LB or S in the passing game, and this can work for us. Can you say DECOY for LJ Smith?
I fully expect the Dallas D to roll coverage to Westbrook, and play him "inside out" when he is lined up wide, or comes out of the backfield. Tuna will certainly take a long look at what the PAT'S did in the SB, and use some of that scheme....The key here: Keep FIVE clean, and throw to LJ, who will likely have 1 on 1 LB coverage. It's also time for Reggie Brown to step it up, as he will have 1 on 1 coverage most of the day. CATCH THE BALL, Reggie!
I like G-lew in his normal role as 3rd/4th WR, because he usually gets a favorable match up with the D's weakest coverage corner out of the nickel or dime D. While he has some glaring weaknesses, the fact is that G-lew is pretty fast, and usually exploits that coverage. Don't discount his deep threat ability, if Dallas plays him in man, without pressing him. Basically, Dallas is going to try and make FIVE beat them. He will have to run when the opportunity is there, and make the stick throws when they are to be had. FIVE will have to carry this O, or they cannot win.
Eagle D: This is the tough one to figure, due to injuries. We ALL know, that the DL HAS to get quick pressure on Bledsoe, right up the middle, in his face. I expect to see a WHOLE LOT of Bunkley in this game, as he has shown the ability to collapse/push the pocket from the middle. He hasn't been getting enough snaps or been used in all of the proper situations so far, in my opinion. I see Dallas using a lot of 2 TE sets, with Fasano helping on Trent Cole in obvious passing situations. Jaqua Thomas must come up big, along with the interior of the DL, as I don't see JJ blitzing the full house. I'd love to see JJ use a WELL DISGUISED DB blitz package, so they can get to Bledsoe FAST.( I really hate the fact that JJ shows his blitzes pre snap, and hardly ever disguises it. It makes it way too easy on a smart QB)
They must TACKLE well...plain and simple. Dallas will throw a lot of short stuff and look for YAC...it's important to keep a 6 yard pass, a 6 yard pass! The Eagles will use WEAPON X over the top of Terry Glen, and M-Lew and Dhani will be covering Whitten a lot. This means that Trot and McCoy must be smart, and make sure tackles in the running game. Bottom line is to tackle well and to take advantage of any Dallas mistakes...We MUST make the INT when it's in our hands, and we MUST get to loose balls.

I might be in the dog house for a few days though--my wife and daughter were upstairs trying to sleep (luckily my wife has today off but my daughter has to go to school)--good luck trying to go to sleep--especially on the three huge plays that happened.

number of beers/cocktails you will drink before kickoff - 0
TO touchdowns - 1
brief game analysis - I'm worried about this game. The Eagles haven't played a complete game yet (except maybe the first, and that's debatable). Try to pull that Sunday, and I fear that Dallas will win easily. McNabb's been playing extremely well - and even ran on Sunday. Hopefully, that's a sign of things to come. Stallworth being out will be a small problem, but I fear the Eagles' injured and mediocre secondary against the twin terrors of TG and OD. The defensive line will have to put pressure on Bledsoe to keep him from reaching his prima donna receivers. I'm afraid they're not successful.
final score - Dallas wins 31-21
I was never so glad to be wrong in all my life. 8)
The secondary was the best we've seen this year. Defensive line was a monster. McNabb was fantastic. If not for the early mistakes, this could have been a blow-out. When they let Dallas take the lead, I was afraid they were done, but I have to give the team credit- they stayed with it, and pulled away in the end.
But, be honest: How many of you (outside of the always optimistic Phreak) really thought Dallas wouldn't score that tying touchdown when they had it at the 6? The only reason I wasn't cursing a blue streak was because my son was in the room.
I was thrilled to be wrong. Yesterday was the best day of my life.

I had a strange calm about the Cowboys final drive at the two minute warning. One of the first times I've really felt the Eagles D would step up and stop them. After the pass interference though, I'd by lying if I said I was still of that same mindset.

I relaxed at the 4th and 18. I figured," What could go wrong?" The answer was another Michael Lewis brain cramp. Then I was convinced that Dallas would score. Fortunately, Lito pulled Lewis' hindquarters out of the fire.

She does.
Eagles- 31
Tampons- 13
24-21
who, who, who, who, who, who, who, who??
20-10
Eagles 24
Bucs 10
31-17, Eagles.
34-21 Eagles.
Trust me.
sleep with one eye open whem homers are around
I predicted an Eagles win against a vastly inferrior team. Total homer.
I guess I could try predicting that the taterskins will win the divsion... :paranoid
Anyway, we have a high scoring offense and a defense that is allowing a lot of points...but this offense isn't that good, and therefore will "only" :puke score 21. 24 if they're lucky.
you could predict eagle losses from now thru 2014 and youd still be homerific
And why is that? Because I've easily observed that Hank Baskett has shown the ability to get open...or was it the fact that I was here and there saying the Eagles passing game and running game would be fine, as long as Reid decided to run the ball? Yep, total homer.
So how are those taterskins doing anyway?
Be careful everyone...if you think the eagles will win a game they should win...you are a homer. Even if you have been openly critical of the coaches/players before... :yay
dude, you're a homer, get over it.
and when has Hank Baskett gotten open?
he had that long touchdown, remember how awfully that ball was thrown?

:-D It's too funny to be called a homer. I guess having any positive thoughts about your favorite team qualify as a homer around here.
And if everyone wants to yell and scream about him dropping passes last week, he must have been getting open...just like what everyone's been here saying about Reggie Brown..."He's dropping passes, but at least that means he's getting open blah blah". Hank Baskett is getting open, I know how much that pains anyone where who doesn't want him to show some worth to the team.
You're an idiot. And the fact that you can't see it simply proves it.
he had one freak play where the qb made a fantastic adjustment and got hank locked 1-1 with a safety....there isnt a wr in the nfl that cant beat a safety
i hate doing this because it really isnt fair but take out that play and hank has 6 catches for 85 yards in six games...that one catch a game kids including three starts....the man is showing big time seperation
even with that play he has done little...including a big time 0 catches against the saints
anyway why are people so defensive about being homers...like its a disease or something...as sun said...get over it...you is what you is
I'm a homer.
There, I said it.

fantastic adjustment and a perfect throw....for all that play was, double move, safety totally fooled, he was still stride for stride with Hank, the throw was just perfect
I'm a homer.
There, I said it.
see how easy it is
OHMYGODHANKBASKETT!!! :o
whats really maddening is that baskett has been fine or whatever you wanna call it...servicable?...i dont know...im not gonna say he sucks and i dont believe i ever have...some people tho gotta take everything and throw a bunch of yeast on it...
im out
to all a good weekend
He can get open, but he can't hold on to the ball. Like every other receiver on the team. Please, tell me why they have a WR coach.
Andy Reid read a book on being a head coach and it said you needed one.
Can they get a second one? I don't think it's working right.

Guess he
passed over the run the ball chapter.
Birds - 27
Bucs - 13
Guess he passed over the run the ball chapter.
amazing that it took andya whole four games into this year to get back to the run/pass ratio that he was at last year
As much as I don't trust the Eagles' defense, a rookie QB should be tailor-made for Johnson's blitzing schemes. He'll have a long day of being sacked and throw at least two picks.
McNabb will be McNabb - at least 300 yards and three touchdowns.
Defense gets lazy in fourth - gives up two garbage-time scores.
Eagles 34
Bucs 21
