Don't really want to kick the Eagles, so no problem here. Just love the Cowboys.I didn't pick against the Birds because I didn't like them I just thought Dallas would beat them at home.

Edited: Thought Dallas initially went for the onside to start the game
'Boys fans, it's early yet. But a 2 game lead ain't nothing to sneeze at. Congrats on making the plays when you had to.

You'll notice from my edited post that I fixed my previous statement. I was on a fishing trip, and got it from word of mouth that Dallas had done the same thing Philly did 3 yrs ago. Needless to say I'm pissed. I'd already posted before I found out what had really happened. MY bad
. Good win Dallas. A 2 game lead over Philly and NY is nothing to sneeze at. It's still early, but your team is definitely better than I ever thought it would be at this time. Good coaching definitely brings results in the NFL

Out of the 5 points I made, I think the most important was keeping D. McNabb in the pocket and making him throw. Certainly NO.1 is important as well as that allowed everything else to happen. McNabb's most dangerous when he's running around outside the pocket making plays.For the most part, Dallas forced him to beat them with his arm and he wasn't capable of doing that yesterday. I thought Roy Williams and Darren Woodsen play great yesterday. I still like that comment Bill Parcells made about Williams in preseason, "Roy Williams is only a biscuit away from being a linebacker." Troy Hambrick ran the ball hard and Quincy Carter did what was asked of him.Dallas is 4-1 but you can't be satisfied with that. Dallas has a dangerous game with Detroit this week.I'm a Detroit native. Dallas has lost to Detroit in Detroit the last 2 seasons. This is my 3rd trip in a row to root for the Boys in Motown, I'm hoping 3's a charm.

Congrats to the Cowboys. They made the plays they had to and the Eagles didn't.
Andy Reid was outcoached by both Parcells and himself. Aside from the obvious opening onside kick, there was the huge Dallas field goal before halftime when the Eagles HAD to make a first down deep in their own end and couldn't. Plus there's his refusal to put McNabb in the shotgun and a reluctance to roll him out.
That being said, I'm glad people are writing the Eagles off and leaving them for dead, because I'm not. You can't blame the defense. They held the Cowboys to under 200 passing and the RBs to under 100 rushing. Michael Lewis and the no-names kept the Cowboys' Wrs out of the end zone and Galloway was the leading receiver with 56 yards . The RBBC monster is showing some signs of life, although they'll miss Westbrook if he's out for any length of time with his hip pointer.
It all comes back to McNabb though. If he's healthy, he needs to be in there. If he's not healthy, then Reid has to make the tough call. In an offense predicated on hitting the slanting receivers in stride, the QB can't be throwing split-fingered pitches from a bad hand. According to this article, McNabb's problem could be lingering:

One thing's for sure, there's going to be an air of desperation for both teams at the Eagles-Giants game to avoid going 2-4 and 1-2 in division.

I'm not writing the Eagles off. The Cowboys won the game, but they're offense still has a lot of work.I agree with you JaxBill in that the Eagles need to get McNabb outside the pocket and let him throw and run. If he's stuck in the pocket, he's a less than average QB.If Dallas splits their next 2 games, they'll be doing well. They will definately struggle vs. Tampa Bay in week 8. Beating Detroit is a must this week, something they've failed to do 2 straight years.

Good Job Cowboy. You have conducted yourself admireably since the victory. You act as if, "you have been there before," and for that you should be commended....Now for all the other idiots that are raving AFTER the win, but were no where to be found prior to the victory have lost all credibility. Probably stuffing all their Packer and Bronco gear into a the box in the attic that had all their Cowboy stuff. Good win Cowboy. That was a great game and your boys came out on top. Too bad the 9ers couldn't take out the Seahags last night and allow my Rams to gain some ground in the West....Ahhh well, at least I can watch the Rams beat up on the One Man Show tonight. And since the One Man of the One Man Show is injured, I'm guessing it should be a slam dunk...

I'm here to eat some Cowboy Crow! I would've been here sooner, but my wife and I had a baby daughter yesterday morning.Good game, and another in a long line of heartbreakers for the Iggs. I really thought (when Thrash) put us in position with about a minute left we had survived.NOT 
Anyways, I've honored you in my signature for this week anyway. With the Gmen up next on the menu, I'll have to alter it soon I'm sure!!!

Very close game. I'm sure glad Reid decided to try and take advantage of the UNPREPARED Bill Parcells on the 1st quarter on side kick.

I actually thought at one time that Quincy would be a good QB.
