I got Cowboys 34, Eagles - 16

Eagles 24-20, it's gonna be a close game, and the big difference will be whether the Eagles can stop the run.

EaglesFan · December 25th, 2006, 08:44 PM

Eagles-2, Owens-0

apologies for busting your bubble, Chris and all other Cowboy fans, but
look at the schedule... your beloved Cowboys have only 1 win this season
over a team with a winning record this season, and that is over a fast
fading Colts team.

The same scenario played out 2 or 3 years ago, the Cowboys had only
one quality win in the regular season, and lost in the first round of the
playoffs. Now I am not saying that that will happen(a first round loss)
but don't expect the Cowboys to make it past the second round.

As of the moment the Cowboys will meet the Bears in the 2nd round, then
we will see who is the more deserving QB to go to the Pro Bowl- Romo
or Grossman.

I think I'd still take Romo.

Anyone that would take Grossman is clearly not able to read statistics.

Secondly, there's no bubble burst, my friend.

We're in the playoffs already, we've beaten the Falcons, Panthers, Indy (no matter what in the world you're talking about them fading), and the Giants.

As far as a couple years ago...

Quincy Carter, that about sums everything up.

Oh yeah, Troy Hambrick.

Also, what's a 9ers fan doing over here trying to burst our bubble?

Our defense is a bigtime problem. The Colts are playing better defense than we are right now. Worst part is this is the second time in three weeks we've looked seriously outcoached.

The Eagles wanted it more.
I hate it when the Eagles play like they want it more.

I thought Dallas should have kicked a FG instead on giving the ball to Barber 3 straight times in the 1st quarter.

I was surprised to see the Eagles run the ball that much.

I don't know why Zimmer coached his butt off versus the Colts,and with the exception of the Bucs,the defense hasn't shown up for a whole game since.

Chris,

You missed my point... as do/have all Cowboy fans...the Colts have are
fading because they have lost 4 of their last 6 games... and the simple
fact remains that that the Cowboys have not beaten a team with a winning
record- other than the Colts all year.. so don't expect anything different
in the playoffs.

Chris · December 27th, 2006, 09:10 AM

Who started the Colts' fade?

Oh yeah, that's right. The Cowboys.

Just because the Colts have lost 4 out of their last 6 games does not mean they're still not 11-4.

Tell me the Cowboys didn't play a good Giants team, a good Panthers team, etc.

They've beaten the teams they should have (Arizona, Titans) with ease.
