The Difference
The difference in talent and playcalling couldn’t have been more stark between the Eagles and Cowboys than last night’s game. The Cowboys pounded Marion Barber for 16 runs through three quarters and then ran him 8 times in the 4th,most of it on a clock killing, game winning drive. He started the game with gains of 1, 3, 2, and 4 yards and finished with runs of 5, 5, 4, and 6 yards (or something like that).
And needing a yard to get the first and win the game, Barber got it with plenty to spare. And unlike the Eagles who ran 4th and 1 last night off a double tight formation with only Hank Baskett split out wide (i.e., 10 in the box). The Cowboys split receivers wide on each side and ran a guy in motion. In any case, there definitely were not 10 in the box to try to stop the rampaging Marion Barber.
The end of the McNabb was sealed after the game when he admitted he didn’t know the game could end in a tie.
