Lotta pressure on Romo...lol

 

the league must really like that the playoffs are all gonna basically come down to the final game of the season.

 

Wait, why are the Eagles out of contention in the north now? :)

But for real, if the Eagles win by less than 17 I'll be grossly disappointed. I want that stadium empty by the midway point of the 3rd quarter.

 

Seeing these division records and standings and I'm becoming more and more in favor of an AFC division and an NFC division...play each team once and one team from the other conference and the top teams get in...

 

eh, i dunno. yes, it sucks that the cardinals are better than every team in the nfc east and nfc north and will be sitting at home in january but rivalries really drive this league. eliminating a Steelers vs. Ravens december match-up with a division title on the line in favor of a meaningless steelers vs. bills game is not what I want.

 

empty of cowboys fans. no HFA in that stadium. gonna be a ton of green there.

 

Oh I know. I want it to be all Eagles fans at the end of the game. Cowboys fans are fair weather at best and we know what's going to happen. It annoys me that all the attention is how bad the Bears played and not how dominant the Eagles are/can be. No Sean Lee=Shady having 150 yards rushing and probably another 50-100 receiving. I think next week will be the exclamation point.

 

Do you honestly think the Eagles are going to put 54 points on the Cowboys? Please!

BTW, I had a talk with Santa Claus and I told him that all of you Eagles fans had been good all year. We had a BIG laugh about that!!! ROFLMFAO!!!!

 

Not 54, but probably 40 or so. I'm also very excited to watch Tony Romo crap the bed again and how everyone will say that it's not his fault and that he's actually a really good QB.

 

What is it about 17-3 on YOUR field that you don't seem to understand?

 

i understand the eagles have gone 6-2 since then and that they scare you.

 

ragman,this eagles team is a whole different team than dallas beat earlier this year. gonna be a lot closer than the earlier game was.

 

Yes. Because as smeags pointed out the Eagles haven't changed at all since then.

 

I severely doubt that. ;)

 

did you watch the game?foles was knocked out with a concussion,then vick got hurt,and all the rest of the game fell on matt barkley who turned the ball over a lot.
no offense,but matt barkley really can't do crap but turn the ball over,especially when the team is behind by two tds.

 

I meant the other way. Especially with Romo out now, I can't imagine the Eagles not winning by 2 TD's.

 

I bet you a hundred bucks that they do not win by 2 TDs.
