Cowboys

As disappointing as tonight's loss is, it is encouraging that they were so competitive at Dallas. As my brother pointed out, previous games that the Eagles won vs. Dallas were low scoring affairs, and the games they lost were high scoring contests. So on that score, it is encouraging that the Eagles threw up 37 points at Dallas with both starting WRs out.

on the other hand, who knows what the storyline will be tomorrow. McNabb was clearly gassed at the end of the Eagles final drive  - even with the last timeout called (why was that a 30 second TO)? Sure to raise issues and questions about the super bowl and #5's conditioning since they played TO in this specific game.

the McNabb-Westbrook fumbled handoff was the decisive play of the game. Terrible. And what is the status of Shawn Andrews, out with a "back injury."

A tough, tough, tough loss. Emotionally and physically. i imagine it will be tough for the Eagles to bounce back against the creme of the AFC - the Steelers - next week.

hello, 1-2.
