My thoughts about my favorite NFL Team.

Can the Eagles beat the Cowboys?
Dallas is next and the Eagles have every chance of beating the Cowboys on their turf. Dallas warmed up for the NFC East game by trampling the Browns, 28-10, on the road, while the Eagles trampled the Rams 38-3. The Cowboys are a complete team, the defending NFC East champs and a great measuring stick for an Eagles team that is continuing to learn what it is all about. I trully belive that the Eagles are the team to be reckoned with. I also understand that there are other quality teams in the NFL and that the Cowboys are one of them, but if you want to enjoy a tremendous matchup in the league, this is at the top of the list for Week 2. To get to where they want to go, they have to keep one foot in front of the other, egoes in check, and understand the challenge that is waiting Monday night in Big D. The Eagles are going to have to rise to the occasion and I hope that they do. Especialy against the team that not only accepted T.O. with open arms but also went out of thier way to get 'Pac-Man' Jones. I have made my opinions of those types of players obvious in the past (check this Post) and I always feel much beter when they don't do well. The key match-ups to watch Monday are Eagles C Jamaal Jackson vs. Cowboys NT Jay Ratliff and Eagles CBs Asante Samuel, Sheldon Brown and Lito Sheppard vs. Cowboys WR Terrell Owens, I think that in both of these cases the Eagles have the advantage, but if they don't get the lead and press their advantages throughout the game the Cowboys could sneek up on them and end up winning at in the end. On the Eagles side look for more big plays from Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and DeSean Jackson on offense, and on Defence keep an eye on Asante Samuel and as always Brian Dawkins. If the Eagles play like they did last week (especialy in the first quarter) they should come away with a big important Win. GO EAGLES.
