Well, so much for the best secondary in the NFC, but after the way this one started, I’m more than happy with the halftime score.
Bonehead play aside, DJ looks like the real deal and McNabb doing what needs to be done.

Well, Asante did his thing.
It’s really the safety play that has been poor. Specifically Dawk and Considine. Mikell has actually looked real good.
by JasonB on Sep 15, 2008 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Mikell has done it against the TE and in run support … he is making himself a player.

This really is being played poorly on both sides
no real deep coverage on either team
A lot of mental mistakes and a lot of penalties
Cowboys are starting to get pressure on McNabb, Eagles are hit and miss in pass coverage
2 HUGE BONE HEAD moves by Romo is the only reason the Eagles are up truthfully.
Really an ugly game

desean vs. westbrook
does anyone else see the huge difference in intelligence/football iq/bonehead-level between the eagles two best playmakers??
a year ago, bwest stopped at the one yard line instead of going into the endzone— making the smart play to win the game for sure. on the other hand, we have jackson, who drops the ball at the one to celebrate!
djax is lucky westbrook saved his ass

If that’d cost him the game, he’d be crucified. Hopefully, it’s just a good learning experience, since no harm was done.
About the most boneheaded thign I’ve ever seen though.

I’m actually a Bills fan, but McNabb is the man in Central New York, and Dallas is Dallas. I hate Dallas. But I’m seeing what. Two uncalled face masks, a phantom review to end the half, and what else; a bullsh*t unsportmanslike penalty off a false start. Never seen anything like that.

PLus it looked like he had a play to Hank Baskett there. They never really showed a good angle so I can’t say for sure but it looked he had Hank open for at least 7 or 8 yards.

Exactly. There were plays to be made and he didn’t make them, didn’t even attempt them. He looked like the injured Donovan on the last drive. Indecisive, clumsy, timid.

2nd half
Cowboys gave the eagles 14 pts. THen they came back and beat the hell out of us in the second half. 17-7 with two monstrous defensive stands in the 4th quarter … right now, they’re a better team with a much more potent (sometimes careless) QB.

I agree we got the benefit of those calls ...
… but also that kickoff return and the play where T.O. was basically running free down the middle are plays which are unlikely to happen again.
Dallas drove the field I think twice. The Eagles drove it pretty much all night. Put up some field goals when we needed TDs, three times I think … dare I say shades of ’07?

Get a grip people
The Eagles offense, led by McNabb, scored 30 points at Dallas. The defense gave up 34 points. That was the problem. Sorry, but if you’re offense scores 30 points you should win. McNabb’s fumble hurt. But what about the dropped passes (GLew, DJack) and Westbrook’s earlier fumble that took them out of field goal range. This was just a hard fought game that the Eagles lost. They proved they are just as good as the Cowboys and should be a force in the NFL.

I agree ...
… hate to lose but you gotta take some good things away from this one. They didn’t roll over.
Also I think Dallas looked way better than I gave them credit for. Defensively meh, but all the weapons on offense, time to throw and Romo was firing lasers in there. So much for that best three-corner group in the league.

I guess I am impressed by the offensive output, but I saw some shades of last season, both offensively and defensively, especially in the second half.
We’ll see what this team is really made of next week against P-burgh…Can they bounce back from a tough loss. Should be fun.

Everyone is a little too emotional about this one. I understand, but this game was both disappointing and reassuring for me.
The Cowboys are really cocky… it would have been nice to shut them up so early in the season. I guess it will have to wait till Philly.

I feel like the Eagles should have blitzed more. Too many times, the four-man rush gave Romo all day.

That was a war, gentleman!
When the emotions wear off, you’ll see nobody gave anybody anything. That was the hardest fought game I ever remember between these two teams and after 4 quarters, Dallas was 4 points better at home. So what? This is Week 2…
I was impressed with your Eagles tonight and they are back, no doubt. I’m not going to be one of these dickheads that sticks around and gloats. All respect for Philly and their fans. I may come back and talk about the game after I’ve had a chance to watch it again. Get ready for the Steelers. Take care.

I’ve said from Day 1 if we get through Dallas and Pitt 2-1 I’d be OK.

Go over and read the BTB threads – they have nearly identical comments about their own team as here about the Eagles.

I'm actually not distraught ...
… I mean I hate when the Eagles lose, and I hate losing to Dallas, and I hate hearing T.O’s mouth.
That said I felt like even though the Eagles were exposed in some areas today that they served noticed that they are going to be a serious contender. We’ll see Dallas again.
Quick things I liked:
-O-Line gave McNabb lots of time to throw. I don’t remember any sacks until the 2 on the pin-your-ears-back last drive
-DeSean wasn’t a fluke, and I guarantee he takes the ball directly to the ref after scoring from now on.
-Asante got a pick
-Darren Howard seemed to be a factor again
Things I didn’t like:
- I hate to pick on one guy, but bad things happen whenever Considine is on the field.
- Secondary got exposed, although a lot of is is Dallas is better than I gave them credit for. Lito got beat for a TD, Dawkins got beat for a TD, Sheldon got beat for a TD and Asante got a PI in the end zone.
- The kick return. Obviously we got a freebie with the Greg Lewis offensive interference call going our way and the Romo fumble in the end zone, but don’t listen to any Dallas fan who tries to say it should have been a blowout, because they got too many easy scores. T.O. didn’t kill us with his amazing skill, dudes were just biting on double moves. That’s CB play 101 and will get corrected.
Give em credit though, they earned it on their last drive. The McNabb fumble was bad, but he was sharp afterward and there were three drops/bobbles.

McNabb played really well and 10 receivers with 8 or more yards is phenomenal. Westbrook is the most talented back on the schedule. This is not over. Looking forward to the repeats.
Oh – and this is also the most talented coaching staff on the schedule for the Cowboys this year. They put guys in position to win.
