No, THE EAGLES HAVE HOMEFIELD ADVANTAGE, all they have to do is win and they have homefield. Nothing is dependent on the Vikings, the Eagles hold the tiebreakers, the Eagles control their own destiny.

Right now the Eagles are the #2 seed, win and they keep it, lose and they don't. The Vikings don't even factor in to the equation.

Of course, that all depends on the Vikings winning. But im pretty sure the Giants mailed it in already so i'll be surprised if the Vikings lose.

If the Giants have indeed packed it in, then you are right, the AZ/GB game will be a wash. I'm not sure how the schedule is, but if the NY/MIN game is before the AZ/GB game and the Giants can pull out a win, the Cards have potential home field advantage to play for, so that could motivate them a bit more.

Has anyone else noticed that DeSean Jackson always starts things off in the games but Jeremy Maclin is the finisher? Maclin has came up in the clutch lately. Need a big play go to DeSean Jackson, need a clutch catch? Jeremy Maclin is the man to look for.

Jason Avant says hi

Maclin says look at the Washington game and the Denver game the only close games in this win streak, both times he made huge catches.

But Avant is good too.

Avant balls out of control, the only thing he lacks is elite speed. I'm a big Avant fan and I trust him as the third down receiver to go to more than anyone else. We saw it in last years playoffs, and I trust him through this year's.

Agreed, Avant is our best clutch receiver at this moment. Celek and Maclin have proven they can be relied on too though.

Celek has more than proven he is reliable he is a great pass catching TE. Very above average, not in the Davis, Gonzoles, Gates, category.

Don't forget Witten. Despite his lack of TDs, he is an elite TE. I'd say Celek is a very good TE, not quite great yet, but maybe he'll get there next year.

We're going to get Vick back for this game and I'm real excited. I think this is one of the games where he gets utilized a lot.

Thumper · 01-01-2010, 11:17 PM

You know what Cowboys fans don't realize, the Eagles lost the game, the Cowboys didn't win it. The Eagles gave them that game, Moise Fokou did it all alone, negating great field position on a Sheldon Brown interception and a KR for a TD by Ellis Hobbs and then they couldn't convert in short yardage situations. The Eagles gift wrapped that game to them and they still barely won.

Lets look at it this way, the Eagles are just flat out better and that is why they should win on Sunday.

Todd Bertuzzi · 01-01-2010, 11:21 PM

Last week made me realize just how much I miss Dawk. Remind me again why we didn't sign him?

We didnt anticipate a team throwing 3 years, 16 million was it? at him.

Todd Bertuzzi · 01-01-2010, 11:23 PM

I'd much rather give him the money than pay Stacey Andrews what we did.

Old..would get burned to much in this defense.

Revisionist history is revisionist (although I wasn't a big fan of the Andrews signing).

And what's happening with what we decided to go with? The youth movement seems to be paying dividends. Oh wait nvm. Dawkins would be infinitely better than anything we've played at FS this year. He's a big reason for why Denver's d is overachieving.

Thumper · 01-01-2010, 11:26 PM

Last week made me remember why we let him go, he got burned by Brent Celek on the long TD (that was Dawk's assignment) and he missed tackles and made tackles upfield. Dawk isn't the same and he really isn't an upgrade over Sean Jones/Macho Harris at this point except in leadership and that has been replaced.

Thumper · 01-01-2010, 11:27 PM

Was it surreal for anyone else to watch Dawkins tackle Westy? I sat there for about a minute thinking about that.

Well Denver's D is also helping by masking his weaknesses. I'm also sure a bigger reason they are overachieving is Nolan and Dumerville.

The thing that got to me the most is when he came out of the tunnel and did his old weapon x routine, then ran into a group of broncos. Made me sick to my stomach.

cunningham06 · 01-03-2010, 06:51 PM

Wow, I don't even know what to say after that game. We were dominated in nearly every facet of the game. I wouldn't rule out physical abuse as an appropriate punishment after how poorly the team played.

Same thing this time?

Save the **** talk for once you guys win a playoff game. Unlike the season finale last year, we will actually be seeing you again in the playoffs.

I don't know how it's possible to support a team with D-bags the likes of Newman, Jenkins, Austin, and Flozell on the team.

The Cowboys look good.
