While I agree that Clev > Stl, I don't think Cleveland is a ton better. In last nights game the weather was a crapshoot. Pitt still dominated on both sides of the ball, Big Ben and Parker had similar stats to week 1, they just didn't get the ball in the endzone.
I think the over may be the best play in this one, but as far as a side is concerned I think 7 points should be enough. I just don't see Dallas D shutting anyone down.
I do think the game will be close. The game will be won on the offensive and defensive lines. Whoever protects the quarterback better wins the game. As far as Dallas having a better quarterback, not so sure I would agree with that. Romo is a turnover machine and you can look up the numbers. He has thrown 33 picks in 33 games. In addition, he has fumbled the ball 19 times, losing only 6 of those. I am not a fan of McNabb but lets get real. Can we honestly say Romo is the better quarterback. I just wish this game wasn't being played so early in the season. Here is to a great game tonight.
I believe you said "Philly's defense doesn't have the DBs to match up with Dallas across the board"
So please explain where the Eagles are at a disadvantgage.....again, I think you are the crackhead, not me.
What 3 weapons does Dallas have that Philly's 3 PRO BOWL CB's cant cover......I guess they have 4 if the Eagles cant match up......so let me know......
#1 = TO
I guess Sam Hurd, Isaaih Stanbeck, and Miles Austin are gonna tear the Eagles up.....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Or you talking about Witten and Barber (cause thats a RB and TE and only 2 other weapons) Not sure how the Eagles cant cover them......but please entertain me a bit longer at work.....
Somebodys getting a little fired up. I'm guessing youre an Eagles fan, right? Well my friend I guess tonight you will be introduced to a guy by the name of Felix Jones. I watched him for a few years down here in SEC country, where real football is played on Saturdays. Tonight you will see that the "great" Eagles defense that is supposedly so much better than last year won't have enough blitz in the tank to hold down Big D
I'm not an Eagles fan so don't call me a homer, but they are healthy and brought in some good players. Samuel is a top CB and Jackson can score anytime he touches the ball. Add in Reggie Brown should play which gives them another weapon and L.J Smith is healthy so they have a redzone target. Dallas might win and cover, but I don't see this as a blowout which I consider Dallas winning by more than 2 TD.
Being an Eagles fan has nothing to do with this.....you said they dont have the talent to defend Dallas....which is untrue. Any knowledgeable football person knows the eagles have a great secondary. Stopping Felix Jones running the ball is a bit different if you think the Eagles have a weak run defense....but their linebackers are undersized with speed so he certainly wont be burning them on passing routes.....we'll see. Either way should be a great game, in my eyes.
When healthy McNabb and Romo aren't that different of a player. Outside of T.O the Cowboys WR are weak as Crayton drops a big pass every game. Eagles have pro bowl players in their OL and they have been the same 5 for a couple years now so they play well together. Newman might not play for the Cowboys and anybody that says Pac Man is a great CB is crazy. He is a good return man, but he is an average CB at best and that was when he didn't have a year off of playing. Only real spot the Cowboys usually hurt the Eagles is <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
ffice:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1
lace w:st="on">Witten</st1lace></st1:City>, but the Eagles have some young LB that can match with their speed and size. Rams suck, but so do the Browns and don't say they kept the Steelers to 10 points last night. If the weather wasn't bad the Steelers put up at least 28 points.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Dallas has a lot of playmakers that can line up anywhere on the field at any time. I think they will stand up Witten a lot more in this game, but that will remain to be seen. Trust me when I say this, Dallas used a lot of time during the preseason preparing for this one game because it's going to set the tone for the rest of their season and their playoff chances.
Philly is going to try to bring pressure from every direction possible. Dallas knows that for a fact, just like me and you and anybody else that knows a Philly defense. They will find a way to get one, maybe two receivers isolated for each down and distance situation when the blitz is coming.
I think Dallas will run the ball very effectively and that will surprise Philly very much in the first part of the game. This will open up the pass game tremendously and you will see that Dallas has many unsung offensive producers.
