It has to be one of the best feelings as a sports fan to know that your favorite team can still surprise you. The Dallas Cowboys (3-2) defeated the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday 33-10. I knew we had a chance but not this good of a chance. Now granted, the Eagles rallied last week with a HUGE comeback on the road in maybe the toughest arena to play (Arrowhead, home of the Kansas City Chiefs) Even the fact that we were at home this Sunday, and the fact that we were due to beat them still doesn't change the glory of surprise. A total rout it was Sunday in Big D, Drew Bledsoe proves that he is for real this year, Terry Glenn proves that when he isnt injured he is a big time WR, and the Eagles prove that they aren't invincible in the NFC.
This was a MUST WIN for the Cowboys who lost a hard fought battle to the Raiders last week on the road. Parcells knew this, every Dallas fan knew this, every sports anchor covering NFL knew this. Holding the best offense in the NFL to under 200 total yds was a huge statement made by our Dr.Jekyll, Mr.Hide defense. Our offense feasted immensly on the Philly secondary who are usually solid every week, they had no answer for Bledsoe and Glenn early on. The defense without leader Dat Nguyen, made a gigantic statement holding Philly to 10 pts, and without an offensive TD, and also holding Terrell Owens to 50 yds.
Even though I respect the Eagles, FUCK them! I believe they were outcoached and outplayed. Andy Reid thinks he can pass every down and win ball games. I only wish more frustration came from Owens who points the finger too often.
Looking ahead for both teams, an even bigger game next week for the Cowboys vs the NYG at home will be a huge challenge for us, especially with G-Men coming off a bye week. The Chargers will travel to Philly after getting done with there Monday nighter tomorrow against the Steelers.
What a sweet, sweet moment, 33-10, out-tL
