Oops. Eagles safety Quinton Mikell makes two huge plays near the goal line. On the fourth-and-1 play, Ollie Hoyte never had a chance against Mikell. He came clean on the pitch to Barber. And now the Eagles have plenty of breathing room on the 35-yard pass to Stallworth. I'm thinking the Eagles think the middle of the Cowboys pass coverage is weak right now. Over the past three games, the Cowboys have given up 11 plays of 25 yards or more. |

Its painfully obvious that our secondary is unable to cover anyone for whatever reason. Watkins isn't ready plain and simple. The unit that was suppose to be our strength is going steadily backwards, thats not a good thing at this time of year.

Is it just me or do the Eagles look far more ready for this game than the Cowboys do? The play calling has just been baffling so far. I feel bad for all of the Cowboy fans out there, every time this team looks like they might be ready to do something they find some way to disappoint you.

I completely agree with Aaron on the play calling issue. Even Madden suggested play action at the goal line twice. Everyone in the country knows MB is getting the ball that close to the goal line. Why not try a play action fake? We're lucky the score isn't 14-0 right now.

It's interesting that opposing coordinators know exactly what the Cowboys are going to do in most situations. No wonder Parcells always blames the players for not executing: he certainly doesn't fool anyone, so his players must execute flawlessly against defenses that know precisely what they're trying to do.
