And I believe this game comes down to the Cowboys running the ball effectively. Because if it turns into a game where we have to throw it, I fear Philly's defense. Big time.
I also think there is chemistry between Dak and Dez in spite of some people thinking otherwise. Saw it during the preseason. But I also get the sense that Dak doesn't give one ess about "getting Dez the ball". He's going to the open receiver. And in a game like this against Schwartz' defense, he won't have time to force anything deep to Dez.
Eagles' receivers need to step up. Wentz has struggled the last few weeks but his receivers haven't helped him out. And Sproles ALWAYS has big games against us.
It's been a long time since I was this "curious" about a Cowboys/Eagles game. I'm looking forward to it. With the possible exceptions of Patriots/Bills and Chargers/Broncos, it should be the best game of the weekend.
Egals always play us tough in Dallas. That's why I mentioned the other day in a Cowboy thread about us finally starting to develope a home field advantage, something we haven't had for, I don't know how long now. For some reason I am not as nervous as I usually am when the Egals come to town. There is no way in hell the Egals will make us one dementional like they did to the Vikings. First of all, we are not the Vikings and there is no way in hell, with our O-line, will the Egal defense push us around. Unless we just flat out don't show up for this game, I fully expect to push their pussy-ass asses all over the field. I come out on the first 2 series and throw the ball all over the place and get Dez involved. Their first priority has to be stopping Elliot.
