Defending the Star:
We've all seen the games between the Cowboys over the last few years. They are usually close and there are usually big plays for both teams throughout the game. Last year's season finale was the obvious exception. But with the Eagles adding another play maker in Jeremy Maclin this season and the Cowboys discovering the talent of Miles Austin it seems like both teams are primed for a shootout. While that would be entertaining for fans who like scoring I think the Cowboys would be making a mistake by playing that type of game.I don't mean the Cowboys shouldn't run their offense. I think what they have been doing over the last month is exactly what they need to do in this game. Mix the pass and run, play safe at times and go for the big play in the right moments. The main thing is that the game has to remain relatively close or the Cowboys will be forced to open things up which could mean a shootout or it could mean disaster if Tony Romo isn't having one of his good...

Seems that QB Donovan McNabb’s rib isn’t going to be 100 percent for some time, and because of it, Fox Sports reports that the QB will wear a flak jacket for protection for the rest of the season.
The rib that quarterback Donovan McNabb fractured in Week 1 still hasn’t completely [...]

In his five previous starts against Philadelphia, Tony Romo has been anything but consistent. In his two wins, he had passer ratings of 141.7 and 123.2. In his three losses: 45.5, 22.2 and 55.8.
It meant, he either he was improvising and making all kinds of plays happen or he was improvising and having all kinds of stuff fail.
On Sunday, his rating of 88.7 would statistically...

PHILADELPHIA - Trailing 13-10 after Donovan McNabb's 11-yard TD pass to Brent Celek, the Cowboys did what they've done so often in big games under Wade Phillips - commit a turnover.
This time, it was Eagles CB intercepting a Tony Romo pass that went behind Jason Witten.
Romo had gone a career-high three games without an interception, a string that covered 144 attempts.

For the second consecutive week, the Eagles will enter The Linc with first place on the line, except this contest is even bigger than the last. Not only would a victory over Dallas raise our collective spirit somewhat, the distance over the rest of the division would be about as commanding as single game can get.3-0 in the NFC East, with wins against all three rivals, is a stranglehold...

PHILADELPHIA - It's the 2-minute warning and explosive Eagles WR DeSean Jackson still doesn't have a catch.
The reason is simple: He can't shake Cowboys CB Terence Newman.
It also helps that the Dallas pass rush isn't giving Donovan McNabb much time to plant his feat and survey the field.
Jackson entered the game with four TD receptions of 50-plus yards.

The interceptions by Mike Jenkins and Gerald Sensabaugh on Sunday offset the one interception thrown by Tony Romo and helped the Cowboys finally erase a turnover deficit that been with them for almost the entirety of the season.
The Cowboys were at a -4 minor after the first two weeks of the season, but since then they've caused 11 turnovers and given the ball away just seven...

PHILADELPHIA - The first one goes to Cowboys CB Terence Newman, who completely took DeSean Jackson out of the game.
Jackson had only two catches for 29 yards after entering the game with four TD receptions of 50-plus yards. In a performance reminiscent of his shut-down job on Carolina's Steve Smith in Week 3, Newman made four tackles and broke up one pass. He did give up an...
