Yeah, that's what I meant. Wasn't as clear as I should have been on that.
It's the Cowboy thread so won't clutter it up too much with Eagle talk, but I think the Foles hit is pretty big actually. It'll be interesting to see how Sanchize does with a better OL, a better coach, and better skill position players around him. If Foles misses six games that's Panthers, @ Green Bay, Tennessee, @ Dallas, Sea and Dallas. If Philly can go 4-2 through those six then they're on to something, but I think that's a tall glass of milk.
I fully expected the Cowboys to beat AZ even w/o Romo, but yeah - Weeden was a lot worse than I thought he'd be. Based on the Eagles/Cards game the week prior it seemed the best way to score on AZ was through the air, and I think I discounted that going in to that game. And I didn't expect Weeden to be quite that bad.
I still think that pounding the ball and playing competent defense will take them past Jacksonville, then they get the bye and I assume Romo will be back for the @ Giants game.
If Philly beats Carolina, loses @ GB, and beats Tenn at home then they're 8-3 coming to Dallas, who I think will also be 8-3. Dallas should have Romo while Philly will have Sanchez. I know there'a a lot more to winning games than the QB, but I think Dallas is looking pretty good for the division here just past the halfway point.
