subject: Nfl Playoff: Philadelphia Eagles Vs. Dallas Cowboys [print this page]


The Philadelphia Eagles vsThe Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys will be a great match. The Eagles are at Dallas right now to play with the winner getting the NFC East title and a first-round playoff bye. The loser is going to get a wild-card berth.

The last time these two met, The Cowboys scored 10 straight points in the last quarter to get a 20-16 victory at Lincoln Financial Field on November 8. The Eagles were in the lead 13-10 after three quarters, but because of the 33 yard field goal made by Nick Folks and 49 yard touch down pass to Miles Austin by Tony Romo the Cowboys made a rally.

The best-case scenario for the Eagles is to win against the Cowboys to get the NFC East title and gain the No. 2 seed and the additional first-round bye, for the conference playoffs. Nick Cole the new center and a revamped offensive line help Brian Westbrook running back rush for 100 yards for the seasons first time.

Donovan McNabb made two touchdown throws passes to tight end Brent Celek. DeSean Jackson made a score on a punt return. The worst-case scenario for the Eagles is if they lose to the Cowboys they will be forced to settle for a wild-card berth in the playoffs. Cowboys DeMarcus Ware linebacker sacks McNabb three times. Romo made three throws for touchdown passes to Austin. Cowboys Marion Barber and Felix Jones both running backs each rushed for 100 yards. Eagles David Akers place-kicker missed two field goals.

The Eagles are coming off a well-brought-up effort against Denver. Cole will start at center replacing Jamaal Jackson, who last week experienced a season-ending knee injury. Max Jean-Gilles will replace Cole to start at right guard. Jackson was given the job to the Pro Bowl as both a wide receiver and kick returner. McNabb has played well over all for the year but also had some inconsistency. Celek is outstanding and Akers is having a great seasons.

For the Cowboys, Romo has been having a very high level of playing for most of the season. Austin and Witten are moving to the Pro Bowl and so are Leonard Davis guard and Andre Gurode center. Jones, Barber and Tashard Choice are all top backs. The Cowboys have not been productive the past games. They have scored only 24 points or less after their last eight games. Shaun Suisham has substituted for Folk as the place-kicker.

This Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys match will be a very interesting one.
