it's NOT "a strict set of rules," Jeagler...

I've been a Cowboys fan since 19-fucking-67 when they lost the NFC Championship to the Packers on Bart Starr's last second sneak. I was a little kid and the moxie of a warm weather team nearly beating the Pack in 20 below zero impressed me. I've been a fan ever since. I have no ties to Dallas or Texas.... in fact, Dallas would be way down on the list of any place I'd ever want to live.

Am I a "fraudulent" fan? In many ways, rooting for your home team is even more "fraudulent." That's it? You like them just because they're there?? and you get to hear the local media slurp them constantly? :wtf: :wtf:

OK then. Keys to a Cowboys victory tomorrow:

1. More of the same - The Cowboys have been the only team to consistently, successfully rattle McNabb (outside of flukes like Oakland), sacking him seven times this year and knocking him to the ground and making him uncomfortable when he isn't being sacked. Therefore the Eagles have been limited to 16 total points in two games against Dallas. Pressure will be the key again Saturday. If the Cowboys get 3 or 4 sacks, that means they are in Donovan's face all night and he will be uncomfortable and he will skip balls off the turf and miss open guys. Philly hasn't shown that they have a true answer for Ware, Ratliff and Spencer and the Cowboys have shown they can pressure McNabb without bringing extra guys. Philly can't.

2. Mike Jenkins - Whether he has had safety help or not, he has to have another big game against the Eagles. Desean Jackson has been a non-factor against Dallas this year and Jenkins has the HUGE task of ensuring that trend endures.

3. Running the ball - Philly hasn't been able to contain the Dallas running game all year. Get Barber and Jones going and going early and take advantage of the inexperienced Eagles linebackers.

4. Protect Romo - The Eagles have put zero pressure on Romo this year, but expect them to blitz often Saturday. The Cowboys will have to keep an extra guy in to block, but if they can keep Romo clean, he puts up 300+ yards and a couple of TDs again. The Eagles will not be able to blitz and cover Austin, Whitten and Crayton and they seem to forget about Crayton who has his biggest games against the Eagles. The Cowboys have been very effective in beating the blitz this year.

5. No turnovers. This is painfully obvious, but if the Cowboys don't turn the ball over, the Eagles won't beat them.

6. Make your kicks count - The Eagles started with horrible field position on almost every drive last week. Keep Jackson a non-factor and for God's sake make a field goal every once in awhile.

Other stuff to consider - Philly hasn't beaten a winning this year (except Atlanta without Ryan) and they haven't beaten a playoff team all year. That vaunted six game winning streak was against the likes of KC, NY, SF, Chicago, etc.

The Eagles are front-runners, being 9-0 when leading after the 1st quarter and 2-5 in all other games.

As to the whole fraud thing and fan rules. I love that Simmons column and agree with it for the most part. I mean look at me, I only root for the Rangers since they have been my home team for forever even though they are horrible. But the Cowboys, like it or not, are just like the Yankees, Red Wings, etc. They have a huge fanbase across the world.

It's like when the Red Wings come to town an it looks like a home game for them.

The Red Wings are probably the most popular American team. Toronto and Montreal are easily the most popular Canadian teams.

i hate to inform you of this

but hockey is not popular in america


sorry

This is true. This is where the Canadians rant on about "Americans" think "America" is only for people from the USA. WHO WANTS TO DO SHOTS??

Why do I think it eats you up? Because you are constantly going on about it. Its called, "PROJECTING".

Its like this, I have a friend that is always making jokes and references to herpes. And some of the girls he's been with before like me. But I've crossed them off the list, because like you, he's projecting.

I think Cowboy fans realize this is the biggest game for us in a long, long time. We should win this game. This Dallas team should beat this Philly team.

Jeagler, Hey I'm bored. Why not keep a conversation on my favorite subject going? Rivalries are fun.

Hockey isn't popular in this country because it only snows in like 6 fucking states and 2 of those are the Dakotas. Nobody lives there.

Below Ohio, people in the entire SouthEast even over to CA don't play hockey. It'll never be huge because it's not accessible to most of our population. Now can we please get back to being racist? Thanks.

I agree 100% with all that you said. And was glad to read the part about Philly not beating a Playoff team and the only winning team being Alt sans Ryan! Dallas can and should win this game for all your reasons, esp. the first: more of the same

Keys to the game:

Dallas must end the game with more points than Philadelphia.

I must be blown by the Cowboys cheerleading squad.

Thanks.

How about the possibility that it will come down top making feild goal to win, not overly confident in our field goal kicker. I think with Columbo back though they may be able to make those 3rd and 1-4th and 1. Hopefully they just score touchdowns.

When Mcribb threw that bomb all I thought was " no interference!!!!!" and Jenkins played it perfectly. Dallas O needs to start big and the D needs to rattle mcnabb. D Jackson I am sure will play better but I love his comments about how he " caNT THROW HIMSELF THE BALL" ala T.O.
Dallas starting big will be key.

the steaks are marinating as I post....I love Football:D
