More on Eagles 20 to 7 Victory over Dallas 2011

[LeonardRachiele]

This was a great Eagle win at Dallas in 2011; the first time since 2006 that the Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys twice. Some additional observations: .

--The pass protection was perfect yesterday especially in the first half;

--Those two additional plays which cost the Eagles  14 points;

--Except for the last minute,  the first 59 looked like the memorable 24 to 0 game in 1991.    Twenty years ago, the Eagles held off a last attempt at a shut out.  This year things were different.  Dallas turned the ball over on downs inside the Eagle ten.  I commend the team for not settling for a field goal.  On fourth one,  the Eagles decided to punt with 15 second left in the game.  Dallas blocked it and  scored on a touchdown pass-Steve MaGee to Miles Austin with 15 seconds left.  Plays such as these show the Dallas team never gave up.  This speaks well for the coaches and players.

--There were three games lost  that the Eagles should have won in past years.   21 to 20 at home in 2005; 41 to 37 at Dallas  in 2008; and 14 to 13 at home in 2010.
