I think that the Eagles made some positive moves in the off-season but as much as I hate to say it, I can't see how we will finish ahead of the Cowboys this year. I think the Cowboys will finish either 13-3, or 12-4 (one loss to the birds, probably in the final week of the season). I think they will be followed by the Eagles (11-5 at best, more likely 10-6), and then by the Giants (9-7) and finally the Skins (8-8). It is still really early, and anything can happen, but assuming that DMac is not hurt, or injuries plague any of the teams.. this is how I think it will play out. How awesome would it be, if the division came down to the Eagles and Cowboys in the last week? I think I would crap my pants.

Thoughts?

The Dallas Cowboys have been a decent team again for (for arguments sake) 3 years. In that time the Philadelphia Eagles have missed the playoffs once. What makes Cowboy fans think that their team is so high and mighty? I am poised to hear the argument about the rings, and Philadelphia's lack thereof, but honestly, I would be alot more upset with the Eagles if they weren't at least in the hunt just about every year. Just to remind the Cowboys of our dominance over them (at least since the beginning of this decade), I present the collective head to head record of the Philadelphia Eagles vs. The Dallas Cowboys since 1980.
