Maybe the only "sure bet" this weekend, is that come Monday morning either Reid or Garrett will be fired. Not impressed with either offense, but I think Dallas' "D" is the difference in this game. Just another game of Vick holding on to the ball to long with an offensive line that couldn't stop a nosebleed.....

Romo won't have to sling it, they will limit turnovers that way, and they win going away 34-16

AMEN I'm thinking the score will be a lil closer. Cowboys by 5 at least.......

Hahah! What a moronic post. Giants will take the division every year!? Until when? The end of time? Idiot. Not to mention the giants winning the division has nothing to do w who covers this game. But, lets come back to planet earth. Eagles come home after a "must win" game on Monday night in the super dome. For the first time all year the eagles can breath. They finally have no pressure on them. Everyone in Philly has given up on this team. Ownership wants to move in a different direction. This eagles team will play better w less pressure on them. Eagles win this SU easily

I don't see Dallas putting up many points at all in this game, like usual. This is a simple one...and it really doesn't matter who is injured, it won't make much of a difference. This is the NFL we're talking about here! All the players are pros.

The offensive line is the absolute centerpiece of any offensive strategy...run, pass, play-action...it all depends on the effectiveness of the line. 4 starters out is disastrous. And it's proven the last 3 weeks to be killing the Eagles in no trivial manner. And this week they lost another tackle. That is HUGE.

Think of it this way...Dallas'opening day starting line was Tyron Smith, Nate Livings, Phil Costa, Mackenzy Bernadeau, and Doug Free. Now imagine if for this Eagles game the starting line was Jermey Parnell, Nate Livings, Ryan Clark, David Arkin, and Derrick Dockery (the only guy left who can play tackle on roster).

Now tell me Dallas wouldn't get absolutely crushed with that God-awful back-up line. They couldn't beat a team in the NFL with those guys.

My point is Philly may be better off with their back-up offensive line than Dallas would, but any team in the league would be seriously short-handed and in real trouble with those sheer amount of o-line starters out.

There is no way one can say they are all pros so they'll be fine. That's just not how the o-line world works. Not in the least. Especially when you have Jay Ratliff and DeMarcus Ware staring you down across the line. Mark my words, the MCoy will often have to chip block on pass plays to help Vick stay upright. And consequently his effectiveness in pass routes will be limited, unlike last year.

Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne on the corners are light-years ahead of Newman and Jenkins that Philly receivers abused last year. It's just not the same match-ups in the areas that Philly exposed Dallas so strongly with last year.

I bet against Dallas just as much as for them, if not against more...this week belongs to Dallas. Give me a few more starters back on the Eagles o-line and I might change that bet the other way...but that's just not the case here.
