Preview Cowboys vs Eagles

Even though the Eagles are doing terrible with Foles at QB the Cowboys can not screw this game up. The Cowboys need to win every game left on the schedule in order to make the playoffs, and they need a huge win tonight to help get them through those games. Here is what the Cowboys need to do in order to win the game.

Just like last time the Cowboys need to win the turnover battle. That is exactly what they did a few weeks ago and if they can do it again they will win this game. Foles has not been what the Eagles have hoped for, he is inconsistent and produces turnovers. The Cowboys have to take advantage of him, they can not ease off and take him lightly. If they work hard and get good field position it will make the offenses job a lot easier to get into the end zone.

This game can also be a door to the balanced offense that has been absent this whole season. Murray finally looks to be healthy and with him the Cowboys can finally try and figure out an offense that works. Romo shouldn't have to throw it a lot now which means he will make less mistakes. And with Murray back the Cowboys can finally have a decent run game after doing terrible with out him. The Cowboys are second in the league in passing and yet last in rushing. Think of how good they will be if Murray can get his grove back. And coming back to play the Eagles is great for Murray. The Eagles defense has recently been doing terrible, Murray should get a good confidence boost from this game and hope fully it will carry onto to the last few games. He is key and the Cowboys are happy to have him back.

But with Murray back it doesn't mean Romo isn't going to turn the ball over for sure, the offensive line still needs to preform. They need to provide good blocks for Murray and make sure Romo has time to throw. Yes some stats may show that Romo hasn't been sacked a whole lot in the past few games but he is still consistently having to leave the pocket to throw. And throwing on the run is always a risk and can easily lead to turnovers.

All the defense has to do in this game is apply constant pressure to Foles. If they do that it will force him to make bad throws, interceptions, and fumble the ball. Like I said the Cowboys just can't hold back they need to make Foles life terrible.

My prediction is that the Cowboys will get the win and get a good boost of confidence to start a run for the playoffs.
Cowboys win 35-13

Go Cowboys!
