Luckily, home field advantage never hurts and with this being the last season for Texas Stadium, the fans should be at their hypest.The Eagles will not be pushovers this year, and they proved that as they routed The St. Louis Rams 38-3, led by a healthy and dangerous Donovan McNabb and rookie wide
receiver DeSean Jackson. McNabb ended the day throwing 21 of 33, 361 yards and 3 touchdowns, leading all quarterbacks for the week. Are they really this good, or are The Rams just that bad? We shall soon see.The Cowboys are in good shape, but a few questions have been brought to attention, starting with Marion Barber's injury, which is still listed as mysterious bruised ribs, x-rays are negative, so we'll see how he feels in practice this week. It's also unknown if Sam Hurd or Miles Austin are ready to play this week. In positive news, Terence Newman should be playing on Monday Night, but it will most likely be very limited.
Another problem to correct is penalties, but besides that, most areas of Dallas' play is top notch. Tight end Martellus Bennett has yet to show his stuff in game, and if Barber is limited due to his injury, Felix Jones and 3rd running back Tashard Choice have plenty of potential to work with.
Next stop, the Monday Night lights at Texas Stadium. The Cowboys are used to the spotlight and this should become another moment for them to shine.
MONDAY NIGHT MEMORIES
It was 2 years ago on Monday Night Football against The New York Giants when a statuesque Drew Bledsoe took one too many sacks for Bill Parcells
to handle, so Bledsoe was pulled from the game to make room for Tony Romo. That particular game was lost to The Giants, but it was at that moment that something magic happened to this Dallas Cowboys' team.
