Debating Cowboys –vs– Eagles for 2009

Posted by Bryson Treece on July 12, 2009 at 12:46

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 133 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.
  • Jonny Cash
    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.
  • phxcowboys

    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.
