Uhh yeah, he is hard to bring down. Dallas does have one of the best group of defensive linemen in the league and Phillips is one of the best defensive game planners, so its a great match-up. Those INTs can come at the wrong time for him. When you think about it, McNabb great as he is, deserves the "choking" rep far more than Romo. I wonder if we'll be looking back at No 5's career as one who could never win the big one.

wow. :roll: you gotta win some big games to come up not so big in the biggest of games dude.

with romo, we're still talking about a cat who has never won a playoff game. ever. the fact that people are making a big deal about the fact that he actually won a couple games in december (despite losing the other two ) speaks volumes.

and despite your coach being "one of the best defensive game planners" in the league---he's still a guy who has never won a playoff game either. ever. in his entire head coaching career. ever.

we'll see how they do next week. cowboys will be favored by a couple points, so the pressure's clearly on the home team in this one. i like our chances

Romo is only a few years into his career, while McNabb has established himself as a choker. May be Reid will lose this one for yall too. Well, have to run to Portland to watch the Blazers. We'll continue this later... PHILLLY WEEK!

:roll: guy's from portland, oregon and trying to talk shit on the sixers too. ladies and gentleman, this is textbook Cockroach material. i mean you learn this in Cockroach 101!

by the way--romo's in his 4th year in the league and has a HUGE contract. mcnabb had about 4 or 5 playoff wins under his belt with far less talent to work with at a similar point in his career.

now beat it fraud.

BullSh*t, dude - the refs blew just as many calls the other way. Prevented Dallas from going up even more on your team with phantom Off pass interference. Go back and read the posts from that time - both teams had plenty to bitch about. Horrible refs this year and that game was a prime example, but I was just as angry about the bad calls going against Dallas.

Besides the ref, neither team played that good. This time both teams are doing very well, but I see Dallas playing and just being better now.[/quote]
Both spot challanges they got wrong which in the long run cost us the game. The NFL even ammited that they blew the spot challenge later in the week. If we dont lose that challenge we dont allow austin to catch that td,because were still driving.[/quote]

If not for other bad calls against Dallas earlier in the game, Dallas has got more points on the board and you're not even in that position. That phantom off. pass interference call against Witten was just as influential (if not more so considering the field position) and that wasn't the only bad call Dallas was on the negative side of. Stop your crying.[/quote]

Re watch the game bad calls both ways yeah,but we got the raw end of the stick period. go figure your gonna stick up for the cowfrauds. And of course im gonna defend the birds thats just the way it is. As for crying i rather call it the truth u can call it what u want no sweat to me. I can promise u this we will make it farther then u frauds in the post season.

Eagles in position for No. 2 seed after Vikes' loss Listen to this article. Powered by Odiogo.com

In what can only be described as one of the most wildly entertaining games of the season, the Bears handed the Vikings a 36-30 overtime loss Monday night at Soldier Field.

What does this mean for the Eagles?

With a win over the Cowboys next weekend, the Birds will be the No. 2 seed in the NFC, meaning a first-round bye and a game at the Linc in the divisional round. The Eagles now control their own fate.

After starting the season 10-1, the Vikings (11-4) have lost three of their last four. If the Eagles and Vikings win next weekend, both teams would finish 12-4, and the Birds own the tiebreaker. If the Eagles win and the Vikings lose, well, obviously the Birds would have the edge for the No. 2 seed.

The Vikings' loss also means that the Saints have clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

As if Sunday's matchup in Dallas weren't already big enough, the stakes just got a little bit higher. As you'll see at the bottom, the Cowboys still have a shot at the No. 2 seed too.

There are now three different scenarios for the Eagles on wild-card weekend:

* The Eagles could have a bye as the No. 2 seed.
* The Eagles could travel to Dallas to face the Cowboys as the No. 5 or No. 6 seed.
* The Eagles could travel to Minnesota to face the Vikings as the No. 5 or No. 6 seed.

Here's an updated look:

How can the Eagles get the No. 2 seed?

A win in Dallas against the Cowboys. That's it.

How can the Eagles drop to the No. 5 seed and play the Cowboys?

If the Vikings beat the Giants AND the Cowboys beat the Eagles AND the Cardinals beat the Packers, the Birds would travel to Dallas in the first round as the No. 5 seed.

How can the Eagles drop to the No. 6 seed and play the Cowboys?

If the Vikings beat the Giants AND the Cowboys beat the Eagles AND the Packers beat the Cardinals, Dallas is the No. 3 seed and hosts the Birds in the wild-card round.

How can the Eagles drop to the No. 5 seed and play the Vikings?

If the Vikings lose to the Giants AND the Cowboys beat the Eagles AND the Cardinals beat the Packers, Arizona earns the No. 2 seed, and the Birds travel to Minnesota in the wild-card round.

How can the Eagles drop to the No. 6 seed and play the Vikings?

If the Vikings lose to the Giants AND the Cowboys beat the Eagles AND the Packers beat the Cardinals, Dallas earns the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. The Eagles would then travel to Minnesota in the wild-card round.

Jesus Christ that makes my head hurt.

Thanks for posting though. I don't care who we play, just glad to be in.

See if you can find the scenario that has the Cardinals with the #2 seed ... oh, and there is only one AFC team that could lose and still make the playoffs ... who is it ... btw, it's not the Jets or Ravens!

Yeah, a real time waster ... I love it.

I moved here in March from Texas, but I do see alot of cowboys jerseys and the star of people's cars here and have met plenty of fans. I know its like that everywhere. You know, America's team and stuff, and I know that eats you up.

I'm not a Blazer's fan, just got a free ticket from a friend. I was half-ass going for the home team, but in the end I'm really glad I got to see Iverson play that well and win the game. A lot of the time I was going back and forth to the bears-viks game... until Peterson fumbled.

nice tidbit about donny mac from bowen today:

Daily News Sports Columnist

December 29, 2009 Les Bowen: Further Review: Pressure doesn't get to McNabb
By Les Bowen
Philadelphia Daily News

Daily News Sports Columnist

I WAS GEARING UP to be extremely critical of Donovan McNabb Sunday, as the second-half three-and-out series piled up and a blowout win teetered on the brink of becoming a bizarre loss.

McNabb, after displaying perfect vision and touch the first half, suddenly started spraying the ball all over the Lincoln Financial Field turf. After adroitly mixing and matching Brent Celek, DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Jason Avant and his other weapons, McNabb seemed to only see Jackson when the game tightened, Jackson working against one of the all-time greats, Champ Bailey. Obviously, the confused offensive line, after Jamaal Jackson went down and the Broncos started bringing more pressure, didn't help. The run game disappeared.

Then, on third-and-25 from his 15, receivers covered, under 5 minutes left and the score tied, McNabb took off. It looked crazy. This was the 2009 McNabb, battle-scarred 33-year-old father of four, not the kid from Syracuse whose feet were more reliable than his arm. But on he scooted, 27 yards, to a point just in front of the sticks on the Eagles' sideline, and the Birds had a first down after going three-and-out four times in a row.

"All that I focused on was the yard marker," McNabb said. "When I got out [of the pocket], I knew somebody was behind me, but I got the knees up and tried to get as much as I could."

The Eagles ended up punting on fourth-and-1 from Denver's 49, but as Andy Reid noted afterward, they'd finally switched around the field position. And when their defense held, and Jeremy Maclin cradled that huge 27-yard catch, the Eagles were set up to win.

McNabb wasn't doing this kind of thing for a few years there, most notably in the doldrums of 2008, when he ended up getting benched briefly. Any quarterback can go cold, any offense can have four bad series. This time - and really, several times this season - McNabb pulled himself and the team back together. That run showed both great confidence and determination. A fragile guy who can't handle pressure doesn't take off on third-and-25 and gain 27 yards. A fragile guy who can't handle pressure doesn't hit Maclin - it was a really good, back-shoulder throw, against solid coverage from Andre Goodman - with the game on the line.

Yes, McNabb could have been a lot more consistent, could have sensed pressure a little better on a few of those sacks. These days, though, you get the feeling that even when he's down, he isn't out.

Jamminpearls:

There has been terrible, terrible call is in most games I've seen this year. Dallas suffered from horrible calls against San Deigo, Green Bay and others that changed the game, but I'm not crying about it trying to make excuses like you. Your team didn't make the plays to win and overcome the bad refs, my team did just that. If the bad ball spots would have been in the 1st, you'd still be trying to make excuses and forgetting the bad calls you benefitted from until you watched the game again. Your fandom blinds you. I'm living and dying with the Cowboys, but can still see everything thats going on for what it is.
