"Like I said earlier in the week, there's a lot of love in those boos," - TO



A few thoughts after the Cowboys moved to 7-1 after a 38-17 beatdown of the Philadelphia Eagles.



  • It was nice to see Terrell Owens finally get to have his revenge game in Philly. Last year's game was semi-brutal to watch with TO clearly frustrated in Bledsoe's inability get him the ball. He made plays (10 catches for 174 yards), was sharp (not a bobbled pass in sight), and had some enjoyable interactions with the Eagles fans (I always enjoy watching him flap his wings). He hasn't been fully embraced by Cowboy fans, which is understandable given his history, but I enjoyed watching him shine in a game he clearly cares about.

  • Romo was unbelievably sharp, going 20-25 for 300+ yards. He has some games where he makes it look so effortless, its hard to remember what he looks like when he struggles. This was one of those nights.

  • The Cowboys were able to get consistent pressure on Donovan McNabb, who looked very uncomfortable most of the game. The Eagles have had some nice wins this year, but they look like a team who's going to play out the year and go home. DeMarcus Ware had another nice game getting 1.5 sacks, 8 tackles, and a lot of pressures.

  • It's hard to tell how much impact Andy Reid's personal life had on the team, but watching your son get sentenced to jail and being scolded by the judge in court, really can't help your game week preparation.

  • 7-1. Honestly, how many of you thought the Wade Phillips era was going to start like this? Put your hand down Mrs. Phillips. Great hire Jerry. I can't believe you almost made us watch a Norv Turner coached team.
