Thoughts on the Cowboys game

What was more impressive - that the eagles called a bunch of running plays to run clock at the end of the game or that they actually gained significant yardage?

The Eagles won the coin toss. Why didn't they choose to defer to the second half? For teams on the road, it makes a lot of sense to avoid putting your offense on the field on the opening drive while the home team fans are still whipped into a frenzy at the start of the game. Better to kickoff and play defense, let the stadium settle down and get the ball on the punt. And when you get the ball on the second half kickoff, the fans are not as active as they are at the very beginning of the game. I don't know why the Eagles - and more teams - take advantage of deferring the kick when they win the toss.

I'm glad Cris Collinsworth said something about the unsportsmanlike penalty assessed to DeSean Jackson for his goal line antics. The  official call was for the player going to the ground after the play. But of course replays showed that Jackson's antics started while still in the field of play while the play was still "live." The referee's call made no sense and certainly didn't comport with a replay of the actual sequence of events. It may be the first taunting penalty assessed in the middle of a play.
