It’s a tradition for Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles fans to debate year after year which team will suck and which will claim the NFC East Throne. This year DCNation has partnered with Bleed Green to debate the subject and try to determine exactly who has all the answers. Cowboys fans know just what’s happening at Vally Ranch though.
Kyle Flip has given a good argument to the debate, here’s an excerpt:
The 2009 season has the potential to be an Eagles season we will never forget. With their new found passing game, and the emergence of DeSean Jackson, the Eagles have grown into a lethal pass team. In 2009, the passing game will only get better. Rookie Jeremy Maclin will utilize his quickness and agility to outrun the secondary, while veteran wideout Kevin Curtis will look to improve upon his injury plagued 2008 season. The Eagles have dumped tight end L.J Smith, who never lived up to all the hype surrounding him, and now Brent Celek will take over after Smith’s departure. Looking at the Eagles matchups with the Cowboy’s secondary, the Eagles’ wideouts have the favorable advantage. Besides Terence Newman, the Cowboys are stuck with Orlando Scandrick, Mike Mickens, and Mike Jenkins. Right there, the Eagles already have the advantage.
It’s a nice effort and you can’t really blame them for hoping but after a three mistake season for Mike Jenkins and zero mistake season for Orlando Scandrick it’s a little nuts to point them out as weak spots on this defense. Then again, with such a monster that we have DeMarcus Ware even a good player can be weakness next to him.
Here’s a piece of our side of the debate:
In 2009 we’ve got a healthy team, a much more capable safety than Roy Williams, and were light one pain in the ass receiver – something I know you guys can understand exactly. We’re focused, young, and energetic with enough experience to keep us plowing ahead for another 13-3 season.
The Eagles have too many rookie wide outs to field McNabb’s crooked passes, and they can’t cover the pass much better without the proven leadership ability of departed veteran Brian Dawkins.

And im not even an eagles fan i just state facts.
I am a Cowboys fan but, I’m not sure if the Cowboys are there yet. Don’t know if they’ll ever get back to where they were in the early 90s as long as Jerry Jones still owns the team.
McNabb and the Eagles will win this one in a shoot-out 37-24.
remember the 70’s, Cowboys next years champions and thinkg about this Cowboys team. enough said…its bound to happen..cant keep us down for long, we are ment to win, deal wit it.
yall are all retards, the cowboys will win this and go all the way to the NFC championship and the eagles will loose in the first round
man you have to be just about full blown retarted if you think the cowboys will loose, the eagles are choke artists the cowbooys will win this easaly and they will go all the way to the NFC chapionship and maybe the Superbowl, the eagles will loose first round if they even go to the playoffs
Cowboys 35, Eagles 21

Phxcowboys, did you really say "remember the 70's" and "can't keep us down for long"?
Damn man, what WOULD be considered long for you?
What a pathetic game. Another season down the tubes. Talk about getting punched in the mouth. How about showing a little effort guys? These guys should give back their playoff checks.
What a wonderful post. I loved it.
