Even those who hate Dallas must have taken some perverse pleasure in seeing the super-cocky, loud mouthed Eagles, being bludgeoned on a big stage. QB Donovan McNabb’s longest play came when an interception by CB Mike Jenkins was dropped and recovered by an Eagles’ receiver. The score does not reflect the absolute whipping handed out by the Cowboys over their hated rival. For the second week, Big D’s defense swarmed over McNabb, using and over-under coverage to stop the big play that Philly lives and dies by. With no running game and the deep ball taken away, Philly had nothing left. Offensive “genius” Andy Reid was taken to school by the oft-maligned Wade Phillips.
Dallas on the other hand smashed the curse of a 13 year, 6 game, playoff losing streak, proving they can beat any team in the NFL. They dropped the Saints, shot down the streaking Eagles, and now must face the one top team they have not played this year – the Vikings. If the men in purple do not play a perfect game Sunday, then the Brett Favre saga becomes even more dramatic, as the Cowboys will crush them right into the Metro-Dome astro-turf.
As for Philly, NFL Guy told you all year dear readers, Donovan McNabb will always find a way to lose a game, and act like a total jackass in the process. He didn’t even make the field this time, before slamming his hands into the plexi-glass that fans stood behind. I hope he takes a good look at the film of himself playing air guitar in the tunnel as well. That one topped last year’s idiocy of picking up a phone on the Giants’ sideline. It will be a very long year for the Eagles and their mean spirited fans.
As for Dallas, even if they do not beat Minny, the curse is broken, and the team now completely belongs to Tony Romo.
