2011 Eagles Great win vs Dallas at the Linc 34 to 7

Post by LeonardRachiele »

This was a great game with the Eagles really playing to their full potential. High Points

--holding a team's leading rusher to under 100 yards often is a measure of success; Philadelphia did that to De Marco Murray, who gained  74 yards.  He still averaged  4.3 yards per carry; but the Eagles by scoring and a whopping 42 minutes of offense removed him as a threat,
--the Eagles ran for 239 yards against the NFL's number one team against the rush; Dallas had previously allowed just 74 yards per game,
-- the Eagles did have a key Red Zone failure and settled for just a field goal near the end of the first half,
--Nnamdi Asomuga was really alert getting the interception after the deflected pass; players can never let up in a game,
--Tony Romo's 70 yard touchdown pass to Laurent Robinson was a well executed play; it prevented Andy Reid from getting his first shutout;
--the announcers made that same dumb statement about a running back, in this case Shady McCoy,  getting stronger as the game goes on; not true; the offense just consumes less energy than the defense for any given period of time,
--DeMarcus Ware continues to be  an Eagles nemesis getting four sacks for 23 yards.
--Stopping the Cowboys on downs inside the Eagles five with five minutes left in the game  was also big. Even though the score was 34 to 7,  I was not comfortable until then.
