NFC EAST is getting interesting

Hmmmm, who would have thought us Cowboy fans would have been dealt some great Cards yesterday? The Giants and Cowboys each have two losses going into week 8 and I will be watching tonights game with an almost giddy furvor. Can the Skins wake up and put together a decent game against the Eagles? Probably not but if I were Jim Zorn, this entire week's montra would be "IF the Raiders can do it than so can we". Looking ahead to week 8, The Eagles and Giants clash heads which means one of these teams will have at least 3 losses.

Can the Blue Stars be aligning up above Jerryworld?

WHAT IF: Andy Reid continues to call 80% pass plays? What if the Eagles' O line continues to secretly laugh with each other everytime McNabb is found laying on his back? What if Clinton Portis has a great game?

I'll tell you what....The Eagles will have 3 losses!

WHAT IF: The Eagles beat the Giants next week and the Cowboys beat the Seachickens?

I'll tell you what....we would be looking at the Cowboys sitting atop the NFC East all by its lonesome. All within a matter of 7 days.......hmmmm

WHAT IF: In week 9 the Cowboys beat the Eagles 44-5?

I'll tell you what..... probably won't happen but they could still win and force the Eagle's front office to fire Andy Reid or name Kolb as starter

Okay, okay, I'm getting ahead of myself here........BUT WHAT IF????

Enjoy the game tonight EAGLES FANS!

      Hey Guelphboy, I`ve been holding back so far.....But there ARE limits to my good nature........Been giving you some latitude........BUT, patience is wearing thin.........This Mr. Nice Guy business can be terribly overrated.......You KNOW what I`m referring to.

      Wheels, take it easy......did I not read in your article something about the Giants thoroughly dominating the Cowboys?
    • Wheelman
      Placard_complete_small
      No, you didn`t. The `LOL` that followed was my derision of the so-called domination. As I said a while back, the Gints got away with a win by the skin of their teeth. But, it was all of the TV `experts` who predicted the G-men to `dominate`, in that game. It was that, which I was ridiculing.

      Was a long day at the stadium yesterday, but worth it. Set up tailgate at 10:30 and had a great time.

      Heard that. Some guy I talked to yesterday flies in from VA for every game and tailgates with his friends. That would get quite expensive. Guess he's got money to burn.

      Why wouldn't I be Nphilly, would you desert your team because they lost a couple? And that's REPEAT as in repeated as Super Bowl champs. But I realize eagles fans would have no concept of that, LOL. Just messin' wich ya.

  • calieagle99
    I have faith in the Birds beating the skins down tonight but, I'm gonna reserve the smack talking for a later date. After the loss to Oaktown there isn't to much to say until we play. Wheel, sounds like you and Canuck need to shoot a fair one in the parking lot!

    Like I said before the Cowboys are on track to being a better team. So far so good it takes time to be an SB contender. Using the Saints as a template. It takes three to four years of good moves before you get a solid team.

      I expect another choke job from you boy McNabb. The Dallas D will put pressure on him and he'll have a problem being consistent. Besides flukes don't happen twice.

    Your thread is correct, the NFC East is getting much interesting for sure, however I wouldnt go getting ahead of myself. Kudos to ur Cowboys, I give em credit for that beat down on Atlanta, I never saw that coming and apparently the Falcons didn't either lol! I watched that game & was shaking my head on how overrated the Falcons are hahaha! Um did someone give them the memo on Miles Austin? Lol! This guy was open all day long, anyway I was impressed with the beat down but the jury is still out as far as I'm concerned. As for the Giants, I'm not surprised one bit, I've said it over & over I'm not impressed with them & felt they were overhyped & apparently its rung true. Beating up on creampuffs don't make u an elite team at all & the same goes for the Pats destruction on two hapless no win teams the past 2 weeks, BIG FREAKIN DEAL! As for the Eagles, I agree with Wheelman, I'm not going ta say anything until I c how they come out & play; after last week's debacle there isnt much u can say, if the Eagles are a legit 4-2 team then they need ta prove it by winning tonight, otherwise they fall to the bottom with the Skins at 3-3. Last week should be a wakeup call for the Birds! They need ta come out & play hard in every phase of the game AND they need ta run the ball more, MUCH MORE!
    • Canuck
      Placard_complete_small
      All 3 teams need to prove something because the jury is still out. The next 3-4 weeks will be critical
    • NPhillyBirdman
      Placard_complete_small
      I agree with that beatdown of Atlanta. I too did not see that happening. I also never saw Miami hanging with New Orleans either.

  • TheSweez
    Damn Canuck, you were always this mild mannered cowboy fan from "Amercia's Hat" You really let your teeth show on this one. Good to see you have some gonads! Dude talk about what ifs....

    WHAT IF: The eagles beat the skins and giants in the next 2 weeks? Then it wouldn't matter how Dallas handles the Seahawks. Eagles would still be number 1 in the east (Both tied at 5-2, but you would have 1 more divisonal loss than us)... flip of a coin my man, flip of a coin.
    • Canuck
      Placard_complete_small
      Its all about What ifs....lol. Looks like the the Eagles will be 4-2 after tonight.

  • EazyEagleZ
    The Eagles are on their way to being a better team. I can say that after a victory too.
  • We need the Oline and Westbrook to avoid nagging injuries. 3 straight division games is not a good time for players to be missing.
  • BowlBound
    Placard_complete_small
    All of a sudden, according to bigrele, the Falcons are overrated just because the Cowboys laid it on them. They made the playoffs last year and Ryan had only been sacked two times in four games before they arrived in Dallas. Get over it. I guess we could say the Eagles are overrated because they couldn't beat Oakland?
    • romorules
      Good point BowlBound about bigrele. What an idiot. Last year he bashed McChoke when he was doing terrible but praised Homey the clown when he was doing good.
    • BowlBound
      Placard_complete_small
      Oh, I thought he was Homey the Clown.
  • kristinmasyn
    its also funny how you bring up the falcons in the playoffs last year, but noone ever gives the eagles their props for being in the playoffs last year! and everyone says how the giants are the team to beat in the NFC east when philly clearly made it the farthest, i think that when philly does win a SB, they will still get no respect!
  • kristinmasyn
    the titans and the panthers were in the playoffs last year, look where they are now!
  • MONSTER
    yeah but you cant compare the falcons who were 4-1 when we played them to the titans and the panthers who have what,1 win between them?

    • Robbo24
      Placard_complete_small
      How in the hell can you sit there and insinuate that the Eagles don't get any respect. After all the draft hype, and the power rankings hype from the likes of Adam Shein, ESPN, and others.

      The fact is the Eagles haven't lived up to the hype. To counter the shortcomings the Eagles are suffering now. You berate teams the Cowboys win against. Sad move by Eagle fans like you. Especially, after losing to the Raiders. Eagles got problems.
  • MONSTER
    Your point is Dallas isn't that great just cause they beat the falcons.....I will holla at you NEXT week
    • khollen
      Placard_complete_small
      i took the night off for that one.
  • BRINKSTER
    Placard_complete_small
    What does it take for you Cowboy fans to realize that your team is always on fire September-November but then Romo and the rest of the team tanks in December? Youre all excited about possibly being in first place after week 8 but everyone knows you will fall apart and miss the playoffs or lose in the first round. That's just how it is!!!
    • MONSTER
      you are so right....cause things never change right? why even go through a whole season? cause dallas will forever breakdown in december,the eagles will forever make it in the playoffs and LOSE and mcnabb will puke his chunky soup again.....things never change....because "That's just how it is!!!"
    • Robbo24
      Placard_complete_small
      And,........ For this Eagles fan by your logic then the Eagles will never get a SB trophy, and that's the way your logic suggests.

      Realistically, Monster is right. That's why they play the game. To win a championship come what may. Now for this Eagles fan to suggest the Cowboys shouldn't aspire to win. While at the same time, it's OK for the Eagles to aspire to win, is far-fetched.
    • BowlBound
      Placard_complete_small
      I think this team is still a work in progress. You can see the defensive improvement every week now. Now, if they can just get Roy Williams hooked up in that offense, they can roll. We didn't get any hype this year and I think it was for the better. Rock on.
    • BRINKSTER
      Placard_complete_small
      Until Romo wins a playoff game nobody is going to take your team seriously. Mcnabb and the Eagles have shown they can make it to the Super Bowl and be a play away from winning--which makes our aspirations realistic. You guys can't even manage to win a big regular season game at the end of the season to get in. It was basically a playoff game which is why I'm sure you got handled.
    • BowlBound
      Placard_complete_small
      We'll take your team up there seriously when they have a Super Bowl trophy sitting the the case instead of a can of Campbell's soup. We still have the most playoff wins of all time, even if we haven't won one in a while. Enjoy your window of opportunity while you can. You boy, Donovan, hasn't exactly been lighting it up this season. Philly losing to Oakland was the highlight of my season , so far. And, they didn't exactly look like world beaters against the lowly Skins this past week.
    • BowlBound
      Placard_complete_small
      When did they make it to the Super Bowl? 2004? Hmmm...and just one, I might add. But, they didn't win the damn thing. So, keep praying for that Super Bowl trophy. It might come after we are all dead and long gone.

      It's these thin skined Eagles fans trying to sound reasonable. Sounding foolihish with their form of half-baked logic.

      It's a 50/50 split.
    • BRINKSTER
      Placard_complete_small
      You guys are two of the last people on this site that should be talking smack about people sounding foolish. You guys are so filled with frusteration with how your team has been getting dominted in it's own divisin that you spend most of your time on other teams blogs. You constantly talk out of your a$$ trying to find the satisfaction and attention that your team can't seem to get you by making a playoff run.
    • Robbo24
      Placard_complete_small
      See Monster that's what I'm talking about. More perplex assumptions from a discombobulated Eagles fan. Yeah, that's a big surprise.
    • BowlBound
      Placard_complete_small
      Oh, how they forget that Dallas won the division just two years ago. Yeah, fool, that's domination alright. You have one big win over the Cowboys and you think your team is perennial Super Bowl contenders. I seem to remember that you were just 8-8 two years ago, too. But, like Robbo said......discombobulated indeed.
    • BowlBound
      Placard_complete_small
      Dominated in our own division? Dallas just won the division in 2007. Your memory short? Isn't that the year you guys ended up in the cellar of the NFC East? Yeah, that's some good domination there. And, filled with frustration? Probably not as frustrating as it was for your team to lose to the AZ Cardinals and 3 other teams in NFC Championships this decade. Dominate that.
  • Wheelman
    Placard_complete_small
    Now a word for the scum suckers of the Division. All of you Redskins fans who buy tickets and thus pay for Mr. Snyders` fantasy, should send him hard copy telegrams telling him to take his `no-signs` policy and stick it where the sun don`t shine. The guy has ballz, no question, but not where it counts, for the fans, they who bankroll his passions.

      I have to agree with Brinkster those titties are fine. Now that I notice em. Looks like fruit to me.

      Mcnabb aka "The Cowboy Killer" is going to come out of his funk this week and never look back. The guy is the most resilient player in the NFL, so quit dreaming and hoping he won't be under center when we play you guys.

    Nothing that interesting thus far for the NFC East. Pro-picks had this down to a science in June, almost as if it was scripted. Giants, typically overated,....again, Skins....no hope in sight.
