Cowboys/Eagles - Sunday Night Football

The big headline leading up to Sunday night's game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles is that these two teams will be playing their 100th game against each other this week. For me, a long time Dallas Cowboys fan, I will be watching closely to see if the real Dallas Cowboys team is the one that played great against Seattle last Sunday or the one that started off the 2009 season in a poor fashion. Dallas Cowboys fans had high hopes as the 2009 NFL season got underway, but our pride at having a new one billion dollar football stadium was quickly shattered as Tony Romo and crew took to the football field with less than the same enthusiasm the fans felt.

On Sunday night, the Dallas Cowboys have a chance to prove once and for all that they are a top preforming team in the NFL in 2009. The Philadelphia Eagles have a strong football team and if the Dallas Cowboys are able to hold their own and eventually claim a victory against the Eagles - millions of Dallas Cowboys fans will be feeling much better about their favorite team when they return to work on Monday morning. As the Eagles take to the football field on Sunday night against the Cowboys, I will also be watching Michale Vick very closely. Michael Vick is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but like millions of other NFL fans - I believe it was a mistake to allow him to return to the NFL after it was proven in a court of law that he engaged in the sick human sport of dog fighting.

Early on in 2009, I wrote many posts about my belief that Tony Romo does not have the right stuff and that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones should consider replacing him somewhere down the road. In last Sunday's game against Seattle - Tony Romo played like a pro bowl quarterback, but his lack of consistency is what bothers me the most. On Sunday night, Tony Romo can go a long way in proving to Dallas Cowboys fans everywhere that he does indeed have the internal talent and fortitude to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a future Superbowl. Another Dallas Cowboys fan told me this week, that the Dallas Cowboys would not be the team that millions of fans have loved over the years, without a quarterback controversy and I believe that guys words were right on the money when it comes to Tony Romo.

I look forward to enjoying a nice weekend and as my two days off come to an end on Sunday night, I look forward to watching the Dallas Cowboys play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Nothing would top off my weekend better than to watch the Dallas Cowboys win on Sunday night against the Eagles. Some Cowboys fans have been saying for weeks now that it was a mistake to let Terrell Owens (TO) go before the team had a top receiver to take his place. While I agree that releasing (TO) did hurt the Dallas Cowboys in the early part of this season - the team must learn to get along without (TO) and find the extra talent that is need to replace him as wide receiver. This Sunday night I will be hunkered down with a bowl of potato chips and a few cold beers to watch the Cowboys play the Eagles and hopefully that game will end with a Cowboys victory.
