Cowboys Defense Stifles Big Play Eagles

Many people are saying this game was the biggest road win ever for Tony Romo, and up til now it is. Many people will say this game was a turning point for Roy Williams, and it was. He got first downs that kept the Eagles offense off the field. This game was about the best defense in the NFC, maybe the NFL.
Face it, all Andy Reid's second half bad decisions were attempts to keep his struggling offense on the field. They were all desperate grabs to try to maintain drives because he knew Wade Phillips had taken away big plays and most of the passing game. Reid did not have enough confidence in his offense's ability to have to drive 60 to 80 yards to score.
No one should argue about the replay ruling on the 4th and inches. Watch it closely When McNabb slid off the pile he did not slide forward, he slid sideways. It didn't matter where his left arm was.
The final possession of the game showed just how much the Dallas offense, the line in particular, had beaten up the Philly defense.
