(AP Photo/Matt Slocum)A matter of inches decided tonight's game between the Eagles and Cowboys. With the game tied and the Eagles facing a 4th and 1 while entering Cowboys territory, Donovan McNabb took the snap and lunged at the line, seemingly falling forward for the few inches the Eagles needed to convert. One bad spot, an Andy Reid challenge and a non-reversal by the referees later and the Eagles were robbed of a first down they nearly certainly had.Just a few plays later, Tony Romo found Miles Austin for a 49 yard touchdown that clinched the victory for the Cowboys, who ended up winning 20-16. The win gives Dallas sole possession of first place in the NFC East and makes them a truly legit contender in the NFC.The Eagles had plenty of chances all night but seemed to come up just short every time. Donovan McNabb had his usual maddeningly inconsistent game, throwing nearly as many passes into the ground as he did to his receivers. McNabb wasn't helped by the Eagles of...

Cleveland Show Style Tips: Donovan McNabb or Michael Irvin?

Via 700 Level  |  November 09, 2009
Aside from the Cleveland Show being force fed down our eyeballs during the rain delay in the World Series, I've yet to watch the cartoon. Reader John D. sends along this clip from Sunday's episode begging the question, who do you turn to for style tips: Irvin or McNabb? [video below] Any fans of the show out there? Worth a watch? It's not the...

Eagles’ Proudly Display Flaws In Typical Eagles Loss

Via The Recliner GM  |  November 09, 2009
You want to go to Andy Reid's school of clock management? See Donovan McNabb's feet throwing extravaganza? Marvel at mind numbingly stupid play calling and execution on 3rd and 1? You got it! The Eagles lost to the Cowboys tonight, a game in which I believe they were the better team, in a fashion that we have seen so many times before. McNabb inconsistent, Reid stubborn...

A Case For Victor Butler

Via Landry Hat  |  November 09, 2009
If Dallas Cowboys rookie linebacker Victor Butler does not make that shoestring tackle of Donovan McNabb late in last night’s 20-16 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Cowboys fans very well could have seen a different outcome. Butler, who was in because of an injured Anthony Spencer, may be undersized at his position. But when he has [...]

Next question on T.O.

Via Sportsday  |  November 07, 2009
For the first time since 2003, Donovan McNabb was not asked a question about Terrell Owens during his conference call with the local media. I told McNabb we might have set a record by not asking about his former teammate. "Well, I can ask y'all about it then," McNabb said. So did you miss those questions? "No, I don't," McNabb said. "Y'all...

Official explanation for Eagles' touchdown

Via Sportsday  |  November 08, 2009
The Cowboys challenged Donovan McNabb's 11-yard touchdown throw to tight end Brent Celek, saying the Philadelphia quarterback had gone beyond the line of scrimmage before throwing. Referee Walt Coleman reviewed the play and upheld the call. According to Coleman, McNabb had his right foot behind the line. For the penalty to be called, the passer's entire body must be beyond the line of scrimmage.

Big game for Ratliff

Via Sportsday  |  November 08, 2009
Dallas Cowboys noseguard Jay Ratliff needed less than 20 minutes of playing time to record the second multi-sack game of his career. Ratliff dropped Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb twice in the span of 10 plays during the first half. Ratliff, in his 59th career game, had his previous multi-sack game against Washingotn on Nov. 16, 2008. He also had two sacks in that game.

How to Beat the Eagles

Via Defending the Star  |  November 07, 2009
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...

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS ARE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!!!!!

Via The Sportz Assassin  |  November 09, 2009
It wasn’t the best Super Bowl….but it did have some drama.  The biggest lead was 10 points...and it seemed both teams played well defensively, cautious offensively and solid on special teams.  I’ll touch on some moments to remember from this Super Bowl….excluding the site of Patriots owner Robert Kraft being interviewed celebratory and drunk on NFL Network.  12-ADAM VINITIERI...

Cowboys defense digs in

Via Sportsday  |  November 08, 2009
Philadelphia's third offensive possession was not a good one. Keith Brooking and Jay Ratliff sacked quarterback Donovan McNabb on back-to-back plays. After Ratliff got to McNabb, he was pushed into left tackle Jason Peters, who had to be helped off the field. If Peters can't return, it changes the complexion of this game for the Eagles.

Fooled by own quarterback

Via Sportsday  |  November 08, 2009
After losing a challenge on the placement of the ball after a completion to LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia lined up to go for it on fourth and inches for its 42 in the third quarter. Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb used a hard count that made one of his own players flinch. Left tackle Jason Peters moved ever so slightly, drawing a false-start penalty. The Eagles changed plans and punted.

Eagles Challenged, Lose.

Via 700 Level  |  November 08, 2009
The Eagles lost to the Dallas Cowboys at the Linc on Sunday night. That sentence is both painful to type and incredibly annoying. Perhaps if nothing else, this game was a reminder of just how easy it is to turn on the Dallas hate.Not really sure where to place the blame after that game. The failed challenges are the first thing that come to mind, but to Andy's defense, I think...

Donovan McNabb Gets Slammed Again

Via The Sportz Assassin  |  November 09, 2009
          I am not sure if you've been following it....but there is another Donovan McNabb hater.  The name is J Whyatt Mondesire...and he's the head of the Philly chapter of the NAACP.  He, like Rush Limbaugh and Terrell Owens, basically find McNabb overrated. A couple of things.  Doesn't the head of the Philly chapter of the NAACP have more on his plate than the QB...

Romo's interception string ends

Via Dallas Cowboys And The NFL  |  November 08, 2009
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.
