Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers

Last Week: The Cowboys marched into Philadelphia last week and beat the Eagles in a close game. All the talk leading up to the game was about the beating the Eagles layed on the Boys at the end of last season and the Roy Williams – Tony Romo controversy. Widespread panic spread throughout the media that Romo and Williams were not on the same page. Against the Eagles there was some definite improvement Williams ended the day with 5 catches for 75 yards. So maybe this will not be the hot topic this week, however there is still work to be done, Tony threw a ball behind an open Roy Williams in the end zone Sunday.

This week the boys will travel up north to Lambeau Field and face a Packers team that lost to Tampa Bay on Sunday….ouch thats embarrassing. The game was in Tampa and the Packers don’t have anything that resembles an offensive line right now, but a loss to the Buccaneers?? What is even worse is the Bucs were wearing the awful jerseys from the era when they were a perennial doormat. This is the second year in a row that the Packers have been touted as a NFC power, but once again they are sitting at .500. The Packers are a nice team with an offense that has the potential to be one of the best in the league, but they have one huge problem, they can’t stop the pass rush.

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles

Last Week: Bobby Carpenter recorded a sack….no really he did. The Dallas Cowboys ran over the Seattle Seahawks to a tune of 38 – 17. The Cowboys have looked great in both of their wins over Atlanta and Seattle, but their real test will come this week against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Last Year: The Cowboys and Eagles split their two meetings, but the Eagles win over the Cowboys at the end of the season has left a bad taste in the mouths of Dallas Sports Fans. The Eagles thumped the Cowboys 44 – 6 in the final game of the 2008 season. The most disheartening part about this loss is that a win would have ensured the Cowboys a playoff spot and they lost by 38 points.

This Year: The Cowboys have improved their record with 2 impressive wins over the Falcons and Seahawks in recent weeks. Tony Romo has not thrown an interception in a few games and the team is getting healthy. The hated Eagles have been a very up and down team this year, they lost to the Raiders, but have posted impressive wins over the Redskins and Giants in recent weeks. This game is pretty unpredictable, but Vegas has the Eagles winning by 3.
