TIDBIT: Clayton's 1st and 10 (Cowboys-Eagles)

2. Dallas at Philadelphia: Fans have been so preoccupied with the Eagles' inconsistency, they might have forgotten that Terrell Owens was coming to town. Why boo Owens when you can boo the offense, right?
This game is the season for the Eagles. If they lose, they will be four games behind the Cowboys and will have to start thinking about next season. A win would get them back to .500, but it would only be one step in trying to climb back into the playoff race.

First to worst wasn't the plan for the Eagles. Quarterback Donovan McNabb knew the season was going to be tough coming off a knee reconstruction, but the organization might have to think about reconstruction if the Eagles fall to last place in the always competitive NFC East.

The Eagles have the toughest closing schedule in the NFC East and have been the least consistent of the teams. Sunday night is total desperation.

That's the only thing that scares me about Sunday. Desperate teams are no slouch unless you take the wind out of their sails early. If we let them hang around for too long, we could be in some trouble.

With that said: Cowboys 37, Eagles 16.
