Okay, good half and it's our damn ball to start the third.

I DO expect a onside kick from Philly.

The Eagle's up-tempo offense is going to be the difference in this game. Our D is relatively fresh still. We just have to keep grinding the clock out on offense.

Have to admit I am stunned at how this played out so far. Still worry about this defense trying to hold a lead, we probably need two tds in the 2nd half to ensure a win. Defense looked like they were totally on their heels again those last two Philly drives.

Would love a nice time consuming 7 minute+ TD drive to start the 2nd half.

That zone-read is throwing them for a major loop. They seem to be getting a handle on it though.

I just hope the Eagles don't get the defense too tired by the 4th quarter. Dallas usually finds a way to let teams come back after getting a big lead.

Speaking of the read-option; Dallas needs to bring back the freeze-draw. That was effective and would be even more so with Beasley. That way it would cause the D to draw in their safeties, leaving the routes open deep.

Then Romo needs to stop waiting till the WRs are completely open to get the ball to them, so that they can use their big bodies to shield the CB from the ball and get it.

They'll be winded, but not tired with how quick the Eagles play on offense.
