Dallas @ Philadelphia

Cowboys win this game by 14+ if Romo plays a turnover free game.


Playoff winning teams play good defense and run the ball, the Cowboys need to get that formula going starting this week!

Interesting note:

Dallas last win in the final week of the regular season was 1999, that's 8 years since they've won on the last week of a regual season game! :eek:

That last win in 1999 was another win-and-in game, like this week's game at Philly.

Last road win in the final weekend dates back to 1995 another :eek:

[pirate4state]

they suck in December - this is not news

i'm prepared for the worse case scenario - romo throwing it away - oline with multiple false starts - defense giving up big plays - terrible play calling - TO throwing a hissy fit after not catching any passes (and g$$ coming to tell us all about it) -- this way if by some miracle they happen to win I'll be happy :D

[piratebg]

Their first matchup was an offensive showcase with both teams looking unstoppable. The Cowboys defense has improved greatly while both teams offenses have seen better days, but I think the Boys have enough left in them to pull off the win.

Cowboys 27
Eagles 17

[Necks_Fan]

I think they squeak in and Romo chokes away another playoff game.

Like Phil C says, scary times indeed !!:eek: :eek:

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Last time Roy Williams played against the Eagles he posted a career high 204 yd reception day with a TD and he wants to be more involved this week with the offense as he feels he has the offense down already. Cowboys have the weapons to give the defenses fits, but the running game i think is first thing that needs to be forced first.

If they win--and that's a big if--I have no doubt this is what will happen.

To be honest, though, as much as I love the Cowboys, I've totally lost my faith in Wade Phillips and I'm pretty close to the same with Romo. I don't even know that I'm holding out much hope for Jason Garrett. This season has been heartbreaking. To have started out with so much hope and so much potential, and then see them absolutely throw away (literally) so many games...

[sotex]

I'm about to the point I wish the Cowboys lose big to Philly so Jones can clean house and get ready for thr new stadium. Goodbye Wade, J Garett, and Tony the Interception thowin Romo. Bring in Cowher and let him build a winner.

[Rocket Dad]

Good luck Eagles, the Cowboys do not deserve a playoff berth, clean up your house and your talent will prevail.

[Astrosdawg07]

Would Owens please learn to get the 1st down before dancing and coming up a yard & and a half short.

[Looking4number8]

come on Cowboys!!!!! Romo, make a fool out of your doubters..........Please.

1 yd to go and no first down, but FG is good so every point is important in this game.

[Looking4number8]

Wow, what is it with Dallas allowing so many BIG plays lately?

[SintonFan_inAustin]

just good a play by McNabb in forcing defender to release the receiver and go after him.

[Txbroadcaster]

Originally posted by Looking4number8

That is always been the down side of a true Wade Phillips D...real aggressive, but that allows big plays if the ball carrier breaks the intial tackle

[Looking4number8]

and now we waste great field position with a 3 and out. Defense really needs to stand up and hold em here.

[Astrosdawg07]

Big stand right there. That a boy Bradie James.

[Astrosdawg07]

It sure would be nice to get back to where our offense was last year. We are so much better then this...

[Astrosdawg07]

Romo has no clue on the deep ball! NONE he either over throws or under, has is not even close. We should just try to work the under neath routes.

[Keith7]

I like how the ref breaks up passes for the Cowpies.. he is their best DB

I think if Dallas actually had some semblance of a true game plan they would be

I just have not felt the offense has truly played with purpose most of the year. Just does not seem like they have a true idea most of the time how to attack a defense

[Matthew328]

I agree the coaching is just flat awful, but I think a lot of the talent is vastly overrated.

[Txbroadcaster]

Originally posted by Matthew328

the talent two years ago and last year scored and moved the ball at will

That offense has not aged that much to lose that talent.

[Looking4number8]

I don't think it is the coaches fault or even Romo's fault. I think it is just that in 2008, the football God's are against me!


See.. Philly just scored again.. crap!

[Txbroadcaster]

it amazes me Dallas can come out in the biggest game in regular season in 4 years and be flat

[Matthew328]

Two years ago no one had a book on Romo, now the book is out. People know how to defend him now.....TO and Flozell have gotten two years older......Roy Williams is vastly overrated....

This game is over unless Dallas can get it to seven at half IMO.....

BTW I can't stand Brian Dawkins

[Matthew328]

I dont think Roy is overrated..I dont think Dallas has figured out how to use him, plus his foot injury is worse then reported

The book on Romo is all fine and dandy, but it is up to the OC and staff to help change the book, and I have not seen that at all this year

[coach]

dallas needs to blitz more and the o kline needs to do a better job they are getting whopped

[Matthew328]

Just sad to watch

[Keith7]

Romo seems to be trying to force the ball to williams..

Do you think him and TO petitioning to get him the ball has anything to do with that?

[SintonFan_inAustin]

No question now which team is the better team after a half of football. No idea of how to attack the defense like TxBroadcaster posted earlier.

[Matthew328]

Its about to be 24-3! Good Lord...this might be the best thing that can happen..maybe Jerry will realize this is a bad mix and make some wholesale changes again...LOL

Everyone loved the guy last year. I was one of them too. Personally I believe and always have that Romo is the most overrated player in the league. He was unproven coming into this year.

[Bullaholic]

The Cowboys are just not a playoff team. They don't look like a playoff team---they are not playing like a playoff team. I hope enough drastic changes can be made to remedy this in the offseason. It is readily apparent that they have some major problems on the offense. This team is in no way represenative of what Cowboys fans have come to expect on the field.

[DDBooger]

neither team really is. PHilly will be smoked on the road. UNLESS it's Arizona

[Astrosdawg07]

But he hasn't even been close on his pass attempts.

Ray Lewis said it best last week, the Dallas O is VERY simple and not hard to defend

How can Romo look good in start of the season and go downhill from there, other teams coaching make the adjustments and Dallas OC doesn't.

He looks like the rest of the team * he doesnt give a .... *

[SintonFan_inAustin]

only good thing that has come out of December is the Cowboys found another RB in Choice.

[SintonFan_inAustin]

QB sneak

[JR2004]

I can only hope that Miles Austin finds his way out of Dallas after today!

[SintonFan_inAustin]

that should be called on 3rd down!

[slpybear the bullfan]

Wow... that looked like a play drawn up in the dirt!

[SintonFan_inAustin]

now thats the play to call, backward pass to witten and pass to TO! :D

[Emerson1]

That confirms it, Wade is gone.

Romo should just take over the playcalling

Don't worry about that being overturned. Anytime Andy Reid challenges a play he loses. That play was all improv right there. Pretty funny.

time for some Buffalo Bills magic

Thank you Patrick Crayton for NOT running out of bounds and fighting for extra yards.

It's not entirely his fault. When you are forced to throw 30+ passes a game past 20 yards there isn't much you can do.

They should hire Greg Davis so they can run all those short routes Colt McCoy seems to have 100% of his success on.

I am a fan of strong leaders on the field. I really really WISH Tony would be that leader. But that just ain't him.

Put me down for another vote to bring in a talented QB to challenge Tony. He needs to feel some competition come next training camp.

Of course... lots of players on this team fit that bill... :rolleyes:

I was ticked off when the Cowboys passed on Brady Quinn. And that was after Romo's great first year.

Classic!

[Bullaholic]

After this game, and more particuiliarly this season, I think most Cowboys fans are both mad and embarrassed. I will be very interested to see if real, and not token, changes are made. It is quite apparent that Jerry Jones has paid out a lot of big $$$ for many players with purported superior talent, but questionable characters in the areas of motivation and effort on the field. The loss of the Cowboys no. 1 sports franchise moniker is in serious jeopardy at this point, and that, more than anything else, will get Mr. Jones' attention.

[wtfootball]

For once, Bull I agree 100%. I hope they start with pacman jones.
