But let's be realistic. Apart from an impressive win over the Falcons, Dallas has done nothing impressive this year. They blew out the Bucs. Big deal. They barely beat a bad Panthers team. The needed overtime to overcome the catastrophe that is the Kansas City Chiefs. And now they've beaten the Seahawks, a shell of the franchise that won the NFC title four years ago.
In fairness, a win is a win. (Pulitzer!) But let's see what the Cowboys do in Philly next Sunday night. And then what they do in Green Bay a week later.
If the Cowboys continue to win the games they're supposed to win, they'll win at least four more times (Washington, Oakland, San Diego, at Washington). The fate of this team will be determined via the five games that will represent tough challenges for the Cowboys: at Eagles, at Packers, at Giants, at Saints, vs. Eagles.
For the Seahawks, they've fallen to 2-5 amid a haze of injuries and incompetence. The rest of the schedule isn't crippling, but the challenge for coach Jim Mora will be to get his team to not give up. They've got a shot at finishing at or neat .500, and their ability to do so will go a long way toward determining whether Jim Mora is on the hot seat in 2010.
And so now we'll stand aside and let the Cowboys fans complain in the comments about how no one is respecting their team.
Beat the Eagles on Sunday night, and we will.
This is coming from the guy who picked the Skins to make the playofs, win the NFC championship game and make it into the Super Bowl. Not going to get any Cowboys love at this site from a bunch of Skins fans. People complained about the Cowboys opponents and that they hadnt beaten anybody, then say before the Falcons game, "lets see if they can beat this quality Falcons team." They did just that and it wasnt even a close game. Regardless of who the Cowboys play you can clearly see in the past couple games that they have found their rythym. This offense will be even scarrier ONCE Tony and Roy get on the same page and start connecting. And it will happen.
Florio
How does beating the Eagles, who just beat the over rated Giants, and lost to the crappy Raiders ,or beating the Packers, who just got beat up by the x old man in front of the world , going to make media hacks like you respect the Cowboys. A win is a win . You hack!
Why are the Cowboys "supposed" to beat San Diego? They barely beat the Chiefs...
So Florio, how can we try to rip Romo now that he hasn't thrown an int in 3 games and they keep on winning.
You forgot to bitch about Roy E.
Oh and Ware might drop off and get complaicant now that he got his new contract.
Again, this site is great for insider information, but when it comes to football knowledge Florio and the rest of his crew just dont cut it. They have as much knowledge as an ordinary NFL fan. I will say this again, Florio is a Washington Redskin fan and his bias leans that way. Same excuse regarding the quality of the Cowboys wins will show up again even if they do end up beating the Eagles.
Because San Diego couldn't stop a community college team's rushing attack and Dallas has 3 top rate running backs.
Like most writers who don't favor the Cowboys, this recap was carefully crafted to show neutral at best support of a team much better than the writer's description provides. Certain positive aspects of the Cowboys' '09 season were curiously omitted. You forgot to mention that we took the then unbeaten Giants and Broncos down to the wire before losing. Sure both teams were exposed in great detail in lopsided losses yesterday, but both were way up in the power rankings when we faced them. You also forgot to mention that anytime a team plays the Cowboys, especially a losing team, it's their one chance and opportunity to actually get up for a game..everyone wants to beat Dallas, and I cite Kansas City's effort in this regard.
The team finally found an answer at WR, and to that point, as they continue the emotional purging of the stain that was Terrell Owens and move farther and farther away from his negative influence, they start to look more and more like the 13-3 of three years ago.
The Steelers barely beat Detroit.
The Eagles lost to Oakland.
Indy barely beat San Fran.
Cincy killed Pitt, but won in Cleveland on a prayer.
By your logic, Cleveland is better than Pitt. Oakland is better than everyone in the NFC east, and Detroit is on the verge of a playoff caliber season!(If it wasn't for that St. Louis powerhouse)Its the NFL, if you have won 5 games through 7 weeks you r a good team...As Parcells once said"You are what your record says you are."
It occurs to me that Mr Romo will be holding backfield meetings for the Eagles pass rush. I assume that Mr Romo will respond with at least three picks next week. Unless the "three headed monster" can neutralize the pass rush, Mr Romo may be in for a long evening of fun and frolic in Philly.
In the meantime, the crack Cowboy secondary will have a chance to say hello to Mr Jackson and meet MR Maclin, who rides a terrific shotgun as a downfield blocker and a pretty decent receiver. Mr Celek and Mr's Westbrook, or McCoy will be happy to greet you in the end zones to help them celebrate their several touchdowns.
Mr McNabb will smile that goofy smile, and just win, baby.
just because you guys dont like what florio is saying doesnt mean you are right and he is wrong, he backs up his argument with valid points and you are using an offseason prediction as an argument as to why he doesnt know anything...really? do you guys honestly think someone who quits practicing law to open up a full time football website knows nothing about football? get real...you can call him an idiot, but back it up with a valid argument and not a damn prediction...your cowboys have played subpar teams, until you prove something i am unimpressed
"I will say this again, Florio is a Washington Redskin fan and his bias leans that way."
LOL I love how so many people think that Mike is a fan of the team that they hate most. Florio picks on all teams equally and you don't read the site very much if you think differently.
Everything you said about the Cowboys is equally true about the Eagles. The Eagles have been wildly inconsistent this year, and their only "quality" win is against the Giants coming off a two game losing streak. The schedule for both teams has them playing a lot of weak sisters early, but you can only play the team across from you. Should be a good game next week, tho.
No you won't, Mike. And that's ok. I just want you to admit that you're biased. Two things the Cowboys have NOT done are
1 - get beaten by a crappy team
2 - get blown out anywhere, by anybody
But I know a team that's experienced both. They're apparently your measuring stick. But that's ok, you had the Deadskins in the Super Bowl just a couple of months ago.
Let me start by saying that I am a huge Cowboys' fan. After saying that, I like to think that I'm also pretty rational. Florio's right. Besides the Falcons, the Cowboys have only beat losing teams and lost to two teams with winning records. Now, did they beat the Seahawks with an impressive win? Yes. Did the Giants take the Cowboys to the wire after a 4 turnover performance? Yes. Nevertheless, this team will be defined by how they play at the Linc next week. That'll show everyone alot about this team. Can they slow Donavan down? How will they make DeSean Jackson a non-factor? Will Romo continue to protect the football? How will they play in an extremely hostile environment? Alls questions that the Cowboys need to answer before getting respect from writers that so many of you believe they deserve by default. If you don't like what's being written, then don't read it.
"it's their one chance and opportunity to actually get up for a game..everyone wants to beat Dallas"...now that's funny.
hey Cowboy fans, win a playoff game before you start whining about respect.
"They barely beat a bad Panthers team."
Since when i winning by 14 points considered "barely"?
"The needed overtime to overcome the catastrophe that is the Kansas City Chiefs."
That's better than losing to the disaster that is the Oakland Raiders.
"The fate of this team will be determined via the five games that will represent tough challenges for the Cowboys: at Eagles, at Packers, at Giants, at Saints, vs. Eagles."
You seem to forget that the other NFCE teams have some pretty tough games to play, too. It's all intertwined. The Giants are in a tailspin and it's not going to get easier with the
Chargers
Falcons
Broncos
Cowboys
Eagirls
Vikings
left as far as good teams go. Eagirls have
Cowboys
Chargers
Bears
Falcons
Giants again
49ers
Broncos
Cowboys again
So let's not pretend that only the Cowboys' fate is not set in stone.
No sane Cowboys fan is getting their hopes up for a playoff win right now. We are looking at the match up this week against the Eagles with revenge on our mind. It's going to be a big test for our team in a pivotal NFC East battle.
What we are is excited about our young talent that is coming around. Guys like Mike Jenkins, Anthony Spencer and Miles Austin are starting to play up to their talent level and it is great to see. Add those to elite players like Jay Ratliff and DeMarcus Ware and things are looking good right now.
And maybe, just maybe, Tony Romo has gotten "it". He's not forcing any throws and he's spreading the ball around. He hit 10 different receivers yesterday and he's playing the best football of his career right now. If he can keep up this play into December, watch out.
"hey Cowboy fans, win a playoff game before you start whining about respect. "
Actually we have won them in past...
5 Super Bowls
8 NFC Championships
Yeah, yeah, the haters get just as tired of hearing that as we do the whole hasn't won a playoff game since 1996.
Florio - Danny boy paying you an overinflated salary also? I'm sure you look perfect in a dress and pig nose!
Wait, where is this weeks conspiracy rant? Nothing about the scoreboard? What about the sun coming in through the windows!
Come on Toolio, you can find SOMETHING irrelevant to complain about...can't you? You're letting the Redskin nation down.
Since when did beating a worthless team like the Eagles suddenly make a team respectable? How did they become a measuring stick of respectability? By never winning a Super Bowl?
Oh well, at least they now have the "Florio" trophy for the 2009 Respect Bowl.... Doesn't exactly scream Lombardi!!! but at least Eagle fan can have something else imaginary to hold onto in their minds at night alongside the images of naked women on their parents computer.

____________________________________
Vox,
Florio has already admitted he's a Cowboys Hater. A week or so ago he posted, after a Cowboys win, that Haters would say that Dallas hadn't beaten anybody yet or words to that effect. Then 3 posts later Florio said exactly that about Dallas, almost verbatim. So his opinion is not in question - he is a Hater. Period.
I'm a huge fan, but I don't have a swagger. I was pleased with the last three games because Dallas & Romo are displaying a consistency and focus they haven't previously. Dallas is doing what good teams do when playing other good teams, wining and what they do when they play lesser teams - they win convincingly.
I have no idea who will win against the Eagles. Both teams are good, usually it is the one that makes the fewest mistakes. I do know that Dallas is an entirely different team than the one that lost 44-6 at the end of last season. Felix Jones, Miles Austin on offense and 5 starters on defense were not in Philly last year. The O line is blocking far better as are the backs on blitz piickup.
Going to be one heck of a game.
I think that Florio has to make better Superbowl picks before I respect his opinion about pro teams. Anyone that picks the Redskins to win the 2010 Superbowl has no credibility with any analysis they provide about NFL teams.
Glad I came to work today to comment on this one...
@ Florio
What exactly have the Eagles done? Didn't they lose to the Raiders? Your evalutaions of the Cowboys show that you know enough about football to con people into thinking you know a lot about football. If you really knew something about football you would have noticed that the Eagles didn't win that game yesterday, the Giants HANDED it to them. Eli played terrible and threw easy INT's. McNabb has been fortunate to have Jackson on that team. He is without questiont he fastest guy in the league and given a little time can run away from anyone. Your arguments are flawed and your football knowledge has proven once again to be short.
@ ookie
Again another example of an ignorant football "fan". Do some research, we have won plenty of playoff games and plenty of Superbowls. Idiot.
@ Vox
Still with the eagirls??
The Cowboy hater in you shines like a beacon of Philadephia freedom. Oops, you forgot that Dallas played horribly and lost to the then undefeated Giants by 2, and they also were WAY in that game they lost to the then undefeated Broncos. List all the facts if you're gonna attck a 5-2 team. I agree, we'll see how they respond to more good teams, but aren't we waiting to see how ALL the teams respond to a good oponent ?
Mike's actually on point.
We've seen the same shit from Dallas last year and their QB never fails to shit his pants (and pass out in the shower afterward) when the pressure is on. That's what he's basing it on.
As long as your blog leader keeps babbling about a loss in October, the same can be said about a win-and-you're-in evisceration last December.
And that one mattered a helluva lot more.
Oh, almost forgot....
44-6

"And so now we'll stand aside and let the Cowboys fans complain in the comments about how no one is respecting their team."
I'm a Cowboy fan and im not complaining about anything at all. Dallas crushed yesterday, the vagiants got waxed and us fans have revenge on the mind.....
Everything is right with the world today. To top it all off, it sounds like the hate for dallas is tearing mike florio apart inside. He thinks he can rile us fans up by posting some hater bullshit.
What mike doesnt realize is-
*We all know you know shit about football.
*Hearing you hate on dallas makes us laugh at you, you sound desperate to be honest.
I have been calling Florio out for being a Skins fan for sometime and thats not based on any prediction he has made.
Based off what I have read on this site for a long time leads my conclusion he has minimal football knowledge. I refer to the Skins Super Bowl prediction because that was one of the more stupid things I have heard. Compares to Joe Theisman having the Skins in the Super Bowl every year. There was no legitimate basis for picking the Skins to go to the Super Bowl this year. Defense hasnt been the issue for that team the past +5 seasons. Signing Albert wasnt going to all of the sudden make a pathetic offensive team a Super Bowl contender. That prediction sealed his fate in my eyes on his knowledge.
Would anybody think I knew anything about football if I was to pick the Rams and Chiefs to play for the Super Bowl this year, or even next year?
Any smart Cowboys fan doesn't give a crap whether you "respect" their team or not, Florio. It will get settled on the field in later games, as you point out. Thank you, Mr. Obvious.
If you really wanted to give your readers some helpful information, you'd share (thanks, DoomsDayD75) how their young players are developing well and making big contributions. Not just Miles Austin, but Tashard Choice, Felix Jones, Mike Jenkins and Anthony Spencer. Or, that Tony Romo has had 5 INT-free games out of 7 this year. Or, that the special teams is much-improved with a new coach. But, that would require actual research and analysis. It's much easier just to trot out the well-worn "haven't won a playoff game since 1996" line.
I have no idea who will win against the Eagles.
I do. It won't be a blowout, but the home team will win.
Both teams are good, usually it is the one that makes the fewest mistakes.
I will alert the press.
I do know that Dallas is an entirely different team than the one that lost 44-6 at the end of last season.
Not where it matters most: QB and coach.
Felix Jones, Miles Austin on offense and 5 starters on defense were not in Philly last year.
And the same can be said for McCoy, Maclin, Weaver (Fear the WEAVE) and the backfield on defense here.
VoxVeritas,
Eagles & Cowboys have played 4 common opponents so far this season.
Philadelphia scored 33 more points.
Dallas gave up 26 more points.
Hey, are you still lonely, or have you found playmates, on your My Space page, to play Magic the Gathering?
Quag,
Ill come to the defense of Vox here. The stat you just threw out there means absolutely nothing. Show me some correlation to how that stat predicts anything. Certain teams cause different matchup issues and unless the Eagles and Cowboys are the exact same team that stat means nothing. Also have to take into consideration that you catch teams in slumps or highs. Eagles caught the Giants in a slump and destroyed them yesterday. Cowboys caught them at their high point. Stat like that means nothing.
@ Quag
Terrible arguement.... The Patriots were 18-0, then they played the Giants.... We don't have to be David Tyree to remember the outcome of that game...
Florio, get off the foreskins nuts already! Hows that superbowl prediction going by the way? ha
I love all this talk from Egal fans....bunch of incompitant salad tossers.
Dont get too high on"beating" the vagiants....that was more of a gift from them.
And I love how the only way you attack Vox is by talking shit about his myspace page. Especially coming from a dumbass with a cartoon character for a name (quag)
idiots......GO BOYS!
Cowturds D is weak squad comapred to the Birds.
Philly, 23 Sacks. Dallas, 17. Philly, 14 interceptions. Dallas 4. Philly, 8 forced fumbles. Dallas, 3. Oh....passer ratings...Don - 103.2%, Homo - 96.8%. .........Not looking good.
44-6
Cowboys caught them at their high point.
High point? They played the Skins in their home opener which the outcome isn't shocking since we can see how revolting THEY are.
Last time the Giants played a meaningful game up to that point, they were getting their faces bashed in at home by the same team that Dallas is going to get theirs bashed in by on Sunday.
High point....stop reaching.....pathetic.
Here's a stat: Romo's turnover to td ratio vs Philadelphia LIFETIME:
11 turnovers, including 4 fumbles resulting in TWO tds to 7 TDs
I guess that's not relevant at all.
@ DJand all you other Eagle Fans!
Last years regular season game is all you have to hang your hat on, big deal ! Tell me how does it feel to have nothing but a couple of NFC Championships. No SuperBowls must really suck, but then again I wouldn't know I a Cowboys fan. We all know, you can say were champions, back when teams played with no helmets. TOO FUNNY . By the way I dont ever remember seeing a Cowboys QB puke in a Superbowl.
Dallas Cowboys> love us or hate us We still wear the Star.
We be the fans!!!
Florio, at least admit all the facts. Dallas is 2 plays from being 7-0. And one of those games was against the Giants, who have to be good right? I mean, you consider Philly good because they beat the Giants, so that makes the Giants good. By your standards of course.
eagles fans are funny...idiots, but funny. all will be told on monday. can put out whatever stat you want, but unless a team is given points before a game based off them, doesnt really mean much. like almost every game in the nfl, whoever wins the turnover battle will be the winner. thats why any team on any given game day can win in this league. a team who has a -15 turnover ratio can come in one week and beat a team whos +15. doesnt matter what happened before, only matters what you do today. both teams are playing well right now. ill be as fair as i can about this prediction, but Cowboys win as long as they are even or in the positive in the turnover ratio. they have better talent, not by much though, than the eagles. Cowboys' problem has been getting that talent to gel. But when it does, not many teams that can beat them, regardless of how well the other team plays.
As well, doesnt matter what any NFC east fan says, Cowboys are still the champs until someone from the East wins a superbowl. Going to 5 nfc championships doesnt give you a ring and means nothing unless you take it all the way. NFC east teams will always be chasing the Cowboys until one of those teams actually does something in a season.
@ DJ
Since you dont know a damn thing about football which is obvious, how about we look at the now since that is what is most relevant. Romo hasnt thrown a pic in 5 games. You Eagles fans love hanging on to the past even though the W-L history is strongly in Dallas's favor. Just because there was one big win last year doesnt erase the historical brass spanking. Before you speak, become educated.
@ DJand all you other Eagle Fans!

LOL. Too funny. You mention 3 numbers and these Dallas idiots lose their collective mind. They go to the Kung-Fu death grip clutch of the past and don't let go.
At least the last game has more relevance since the QB and the coach are the same. You idiots couldn't name half the starting lineup for two teams in the 70's that won titles.
( I can hear those Google search engines whirring now)
By the way I dont ever remember seeing a Cowboys QB puke in a Superbowl.
No, but I know one that hasn't won a playoff game, let alone a Superbowl.

McNabb is a #2 overall pick that has only lost NFC Championships that he should have won(Bucs & Cards). Romo is an UNDRAFTED QB that is outplaying his status and has years to improve and do what McNabb can't and won't do. Dallas has lost 2 games by 9 pts. Eagz blown out by Saints and couldn't score a TD in loss to Raiders. Eagz have much to do before they are in Dallas class as an organization. Please stick with McNabb and Reid! We see what that's done the last ten years. Your #2 pick(McNabb) just keeps losing the biggest games. Our QB, starting his 3rd year has many years to improve on what McNabb and Eagles couldn't do. Win a Super Bowl Eagles fans, til then...Shut Up!
Cowboys' problem has been getting that talent to gel. But when it does, not many teams that can beat them, regardless of how well the other team plays.
No, Cowboys problem is ownership stubbornly still thinking he can replicate 20 yrs ago with a coach and QB that repeatedly shits the bed when the stakes are the highest. That's the problem.
What I find increasingly hysterical is how when you post something even remotely relevant, the SCREAMING STAMPEDE of idiot Dallas fans at a breakneck speed looking for the history books, which are completely irrelevant right now.
It's like timing between lightning flashes as a storm gets closer. The more negative information, the faster they reach for the media guides from 1973 thru 1995, faster than lightning hits the ground.
Hilairous.
McNabb is a #2 overall pick that has only lost NFC Championships that he should have won(Bucs & Cards). Romo is an UNDRAFTED QB that is outplaying his status and has years to improve and do what McNabb can't and won't do.
That statement proves what kind of idiot you Dallas fans truly are. Romo doesn't even get a ticket to the children's table in the conversation he's so unproven. He can't even have a winning month of DECEMBER as a starting QB in the NFL, let alone just GETTING to January and winning a single playoff game.
Seriously, are you really this stupid or did you actually take lessons from Double V?
Romo is a starting QB because your IDIOT owner chose to make him one. Parcells started him when he did because he basically had no other choice. Oh sure, he could have kept starting Bledsoe and watch him get pummelled into the turf like a jackhammer with his lack of mobility. What else did he have to lose? Owens was going to nova no matter WHO the QB was, so it might as well have been some undrafted slapdick to take the brunt of it.
Tell me, fucknutz: What other owner in the league would give Romo THAT extension after he hasn't won a single playoff game and after ONLY 17 starts?
Before you start comparing McNabb to this slapdick, lets see if he can actually DO something first other than play this "Aw gee shucks" bullshit persona and actually WIN something in January first.
At least McNabb has WON his first playoff game and has won a shitload more playoff games than Romo has even sniffed.
And he didn't need an any Pro Bowl WR cast to do it either. He's got his faults but NOONE.....REPEAT NO-ONE has done what he's done in the same amount of time with less talent around him.
NO ONE.
Eagz blown out by Saints
Without their starting QB and the backup threw 3 picks. Nice try though.
Please stick with McNabb and Reid! We see what that's done the last ten years.
Sure. Just keep kicking the shit out of Dallas and watch them go through coach after coach and QB after QB and still not get it done after 16 seasons. Gladly.
Win a Super Bowl Eagles fans, til then...Shut Up!
Dude, you have to win in the playoffs which your coach OR QB have yet to do IN THEIR CAREERS. Until then, you might want to shut your yip instead.
44-6
"No, Cowboys problem is ownership stubbornly still thinking he can replicate 20 yrs ago with a coach and QB that repeatedly shits the bed when the stakes are the highest. That's the problem."
I guess you think that the Eagirls have no problem... McNabb is known far and wide as one of the worst chokers in NFL history. Wanna talk about throwing up in the most important game of his life? Wanna talk about McNabb getting all twat-hurt because TO took some of his attention away? Wanna talk about the Eagirls having won as many Super Bowls as the Lions? Wanna talk about every Eagirls season for almost 50 years ending with them out of the playoffs or with a playoff loss?
Naah, you don't want to talk about that. You don't even want to talk about how the Eagirls haven't been able to put together more than 5 winning seasons in a row since the 40's. They're currently at one in a row, by the way. If the Cowboys end up with a winning record this season they'll have equaled the very best the Eagirls have done in your lifetime... get 5 winning seasons in a row. WTF are you so proud of?
"What I find increasingly hysterical is how when you post something even remotely relevant, the SCREAMING STAMPEDE of idiot Dallas fans at a breakneck speed looking for the history books, which are completely irrelevant right now."
You say that only because the Eagirls have a terrible history, and in fact are a loser franchise, having lost many more games than they have won.
"your cowboys have played subpar teams, until you prove something i am unimpressed"
Gotta tell you man, I've never been impressed by the Dullphins. Are you upset about that?
We've beaten only one quality opponent so far. Beating Seattle is nothing to be excited about. As a Cowboys fan I refuse to be joyous over a win that was expected. To be ecstatic about this game would lower oneself to the same class of fan as a Houston fan - just being happy with a win.
A win is a win and I'm pleased that they won yesterday, but this win doesn't tell me how good this team can be. A win next week against the Eagles next week will be far more meaningful, because it's in the division and the Eagles are a better team than most give them credit for. They may have beaten the overrated Giants, but the overrated Giants were able to get over on our team.
Make no mistake about it, I judge my Cowboys by playoff and championship success, not by wins over awful teams like the Seahawks.
Why is florio pointing this out for only the cowboys? And also last week i thought that was suppose to be the test for the cowboys against the falcons! What happened in that game again? Thats right the cowboys simply dominated the falcons just like they did against the seahawks this week! Yet Florio still seems the need to point out that he thinks the cowboys still havent played anyone. 2 loses by a combined 9 pts against teams that at the time were both in the top 5 in the power rankings. Yet im waiting for him to point out that the packers 4 wins came against the lowly St. Louis Rams, Detriot Lions, and the Cleveland Browns. So why are they on they list of tough matchups the cowboys face coming up cause clearly against a contender the packers look terrible! When it comes to sports writers you need to leave personal opinions out of the article. I dont care what team your a fan of! Unless your out to turn people away from visiting this site by putting your own personal feelings into your writing florio stick to the facts! The cowboys are 5-2 and have played great and are getting better every week! If your going to try and bring down the cowboys then make it fair in your writing when you talk about other teams like the packers cause from what i read the only winning team you seem to try and cutdown are the cowboys! Get a clue Florio!!!!!!
You say that only because the Eagirls have a terrible history, and in fact are a loser franchise, having lost many more games than they have won.
No. I say that because I know the past of 20 yrs ago is meaningless to now. If it had some relevancy, Romo wouldn't handjob his way through December into the pla.........Oops.
Nevermind.
Terrible history...but they are 7th all time in wins.
Gotcha
Make no mistake about it, I judge my Cowboys by playoff and championship success, not by wins over awful teams like the Seahawks.
@Burque
The rest of your fanbase? Didn't get the memo.
But I can respect that. And I agree with it.
Those championship clubs in the 90's talked all kinds of shit. Then went out and leveled you.
"Terrible history...but they are 7th all time in wins."
Only because they've been around so long, dummy. They're also 3rd all time in losses, behind only the Cardinals and Lions.

Yeah! Remember when he lost to the Giants in the playoffs after being hyped as the QB of the most talented team in the NFL? Or when - with the playoffs on the line - McNabb let another team hang 44 points on him without scoring a single touchdown?
Or how about that time McNabb had a win in the books, but fumbled a snap for a field goal and lost to the SEAHAWKS?
Oh, wait. I must be confused. I'm laughing too hard at the trainwreck of a myspace page I found when I Googled Vox Veritas.

Looks like Cowboys fans are climbing into the Time Machines again. There are teenagers who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game.
Actually No - I'm just stating the facts as they have happened.
We Cowboy fans understand that the last playoff win was in 1996 against the Vikings....I believe it was 40-11? And then the following week we lost to the Panthers when Irvin dislocated his shoulder and Deion cracked his orbital bone etc.
I just find it hilarious that you are trying to say the Eagles are freaking world beaters when they are a joke - a laughingstock of an organization.
Andrew Reid needs to go on a diet, I'm surprised he can even find his pecker under that damn girth of a belly and the vomiting moron McScabb who consistently chokes when the game means the most.
There may be teenagers who've never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game, but nobody has ever seen the Eagles win a Super Bowl.
The Eagles are not world beaters, not even Raider beaters. Reid can't manage his family, let alone his team. Talking of last year, Romo missed 3 games and the playoff spot that the World beating 8-7-1 Eagles got would most likely have gone to Dallas. Donovan "McVick-Nair-Young-Campbell-Garrard" won't win a title like the Mannings did as top picks. Or like Aikman did to live up to his status. The Eagz pounded Aikman on a few occasions and he came out pretty good in the end. The same will happen with Romo. He'll learn, get better and McNabb will stay the same...throwing short and sideline passes over heads and into the ground with an occassional deep ball and a bunch of screens. pretty much sums up the Eagz offense. Of late, they've been a "3 and out" attack against bad teams.(see raider and skins drives). Cowboys fans...Hope McNabb plays all year..Maybe Reid will bench him again like last year..Troy, never benched..Romo won't be either. McNabb will screw it up, he ALWAYS does!! Eagz fans, I and YOU have seen my team(The Cowboys) win the Super Bowl...Several times in my life. When can I watch the Eagles win one? In my lifetime? Most likely not with Reid/McVick!!

Hold it.
Reid needs to go on a diet...but Phillips is the offical spokesman for the AbBlaster?
So wait.....McNabb chokes....but your UNQUESTIONABLE FRAUD OF A QUARTERBACK hasn't won one single playoff game in his six year NFL career and he didn't choke BOTH of his playoff games away when the ball was IN HIS HANDS ON THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME ?
That must have been the other Gomer Pyle look alike wearing no. 9 and turning over the ball all by himself.
But that's not "choking", right?
See, it's the arrogant assclowns like this idiot that prove what everyone that isn't a Dallas myopic, clueless drone true;
Dallas fans are complete and utter idiots.
@VOX
the argument isnt about the dolphins, i never bragged about them did i? but if you want to put in perspective that were only 2 seasons deep from a 1-15 record, while the boys are...2 seasons deep? from a 13-3 record i would say im very impressed with them, though anyone who says were a playoff team is high off their ass
lets not live in the past cowboys fans, this is week 8 aftermath, not 1996 aftermath, wooo u won 5 SBs, thatd be a great argument had we been talking about that...most of you are looking at your team like a child looks at his mother, the cowboys are awesome and can never do anything bad...quit living in a dream and face the facts that you have indeed only beaten subpar teams minus the falcons...take off the mask and look at your team in reality, disputing solid points and pulling this 3rd grade "but the eagles this and the giants that" is just diminishing any argument you wish to have, bring up solid facts like only a few have on here
if you really want to bust the phins nuts, we held our own against the current undefeated, and were 3-4...were not that good of a team, but im still impressed given our schedule and what little weapons we have compared your struggle even though you have williams, ware, barber,witten,austin....
"Yeah! Remember when he lost to the Giants in the playoffs after being hyped as the QB of the most talented team in the NFL? Or when - with the playoffs on the line - McNabb let another team hang 44 points on him without scoring a single touchdown?
Or how about that time McNabb had a win in the books, but fumbled a snap for a field goal and lost to the SEAHAWKS?"
GREAT POINT...Seems he's done more to hurt than to help...Another QB might have actually won something with the many chances McNabb had. Couldn't even beat the Cardinals when his team was favored/expected to do so. All the Eagz fans flocked to Cards stadium with their 8-7-1 record in their pocket only to see another Mcnabb/Eagz debacle!
Like I always say, let that #2 pick overall keep playing and losing. Put more time into his china doll self...I'll take my chances with our undrafted QB out of Eastern Illinois..He has a better chance to grow and develop...Mcnabb's seen it all by now...And he just can't do anything about it...
Yeah ! you go Cowboys fans! you tell them all about History! someday we will be on the good side of history again! We used to ROCK !!
GO Cowboys ( vox call them Eagirls again I love when you do that , You are my hero, I'll facebook you later)
Jan. 27, 2002 - NFC Championship - St. Louis 29, Philadelphia 24
Jan. 19, 2003 - NFC Championship - Tampa Bay 27, Philadelphia 10
Jan. 18, 2004 - NFC Championship - Carolina 14, Philadelphia 3
Jan. 18, 2009- NFC Championship- Cardinals 32, Philadelphia 25...."It was Philadelphia's fifth appearance in the game in eight seasons, with their only win coming in 2005."
I'd almost rather not make it than go through losing 3 Championships in a row? Wow, what an accomplishment, 5 in 8 years and not one Super Bowl win? Sounds like something to not be so proud of?
NFC Championship teams want a sure win? Hope the Eagles are the opponent because your team will surely punch their ticket to the Super Bowl!!
OH WAIT HISTORY MEANS NOTHING....THATS WHY THE NFL HAS CANTON.....OH THE PAIN EAGLES FANS
STILL NO SUPERBOWLS....
