I’ve been writing about the Eagles and the Cowboys for two straight weeks now and there’s nothing left to say. It’s not time to talk anymore. It’s time for this team to prove something and if they don’t, they go home.

Special teams play can have a big impact a game. We saw this first hand last week against the Broncos and almost saw it lead to complete disaster. Macho Harris’ lost fumble was a big swing of momentum for the Broncos, one they almost used to pull a come from behind victory. [...]
Here we are again. A Week 17 match up with Dallas with a lot on the line for both teams. The Eagles needed to beat Dallas last year in order to make the playoffs and we all remember how that worked out. This year, the Eagles are already in the playoffs, but [...]
