I think that Dallas is one of the most talented teams in the league. And they are simply just rolling over and ceeding the game to a team that they are fully capable of beating.

I can't wait for the TO meltdown in the offseason and hearing whom he's casting the blame on. I fully expect him to be a complete team cancer in this adversity.
Capable of beating...yes of course. But the Eagles are just as talented as any team in the league, even the "star studded" Cowboys. If the Eagles stay committed to running the ball no team in the league overly frightens me. Things they need to do:

Run the ball and keep balance on offense. Even if the running game is not overly productive, the offense runs so much better when they keep it balanced. But Reid has a bad habit of completely abandoning it if they get stuffed a couple times early.

Use Buckhalter more. This poor guy makes big plays whenever he gets the ball, but he is completely forgotten in a lot of games. An example: the first Giants game he ripped off a 5 yard run and then a 19 yard run back to back...and then never stepped back on the field. Him and Westbrook should pretty much split the carries, and both should get on the field together fairly often too.

Not get too blitz happy. The Dallas gameplan was perfect. Sometimes we blitz too much and get sucked up and beat on draws and screens. I love when they walk up the linebackers and then they drop back in coverage at the snap.

Go down the field early a few times. In the middle of the season our offense played poorly and it was because the defense were jumping all the short routes. We would go whole games without trying to throw anything over the top.
