Statement Game

Now what the Birds did to the 'Boys last night was just shocking.  I mean the Eagles were acting as if a playoff spot was on the line while the Cowboys were just on cruise control.  Shady McCoy destroyed the Cowboys vaunted "D" to the tune of 185 yards on 30 carries with 2 touchdowns.  Rob Ryan made noise during the preseason by claiming Dallas would beat-down the Eagles once teams met, but reality proved otherwise.  Reality proved that when pushed comes to shove it was the Eagles who handed out the "butt-kicking" and now it is the Cowboys searching for answers.  Tony Romo did nothing last night.  Totally ineffective throughout the game.  The Cowboys defense over pursued in the run game and then played afraid of the Eagles ability to go down the field for big plays which left the middle of the field wide open for Mike Vick to find open receivers.  The Cowboys came in to Sunday night's game ranked number 1 in rush defense by only giving up 69.7 rushing yards a game, but the Birds led by McCoy and Vick shredded the Cowboys for 239 yards on the ground.  The Eagles showed the world that they are not dead, but they still have a lot to prove with the Chicago Bears coming to town on Monday night next week.  Are they a "Dream Team"?  No, but they are a team that is in mix for contending for a playoff spot.

  2. The great thing about the Eagles game is that the offensive line gave Vick the time needed to make the plays. He spent less time on the ground in that game.
