It’s going to be hard and nearly impossible for the Cowboys not to go too far celebrating their big win last Sunday over the Birds and that leaves the Eagles with a tremendous opportunity.
This is a shortened week and Dallas head coach Wade Phillips is going to have a difficult time convincing his football team that the team which they just beat 24-0 has the ability to beat them on Saturday on their home field.
There’s not a big talent dfference in the football teams, so it’s going to come down to which team is most motivated and best prepared.
Andy Reid has made it clear that his football team isn’t going to dwell on what happened on Sunday unless it can help them next Saturday.
Phillips will try to do the same with his football team but it will be much more difficult to get players to forget what happened positive in the game as compared to what happened negative.
The game on Sunday won’t begin with a 24-0 score. It’ll be 0-0 at kickoff. The playoffs mark the beginning of the second season and that Cowboys win on Sunday won’t mean anything.
I’m not saying the Eagles will definitely win the football game, but I’m confident that they’ll start the game much better than they did a week ago.
Rarely does a team get the chance to make up for a bad performance right away. Usually you have to wait for at least a few weeks or a season to get the chance for redemption.
The Eagles will get another shot immediately.
Remember that this team had won 6 games in a row coming into the contest.
