Thankfully though, I have found my muse and I'm ready to write and see Dallas go to playoffs. It has been as tough a year as it has been magical.
The tough part is losses to the Giants, the Broncos, the Packers, and the Chargers, but still to finish this season with back to back shutouts against division rivals is remarkable.
The Redskins win was one that redeemed us for our horrid win of 7-6 last time. Even though Al [...]

Tom Brady has Randy Moss. Peyton Manning has Reggie Wayne (and had Marvin Harrison for a while). Even Steve Young had Jerry Rice to help make his life easier.
In the NFL, a team has a better chance of winning when their quarterback has a dominant wide receiver to throw the ball to. For the Philadelphia Eagles, they have managed to be successful for most of this decade, despite all of the years they lacked a true No. 1 wide receiver.
