Esteemed - and completely unbiased - sports writer Matt Mosley makes a mockery of himself in this article on ESPN.com.
He makes a pathetic argument against the Eagles, and worse argument in favor of the Cowboys. The Eagles defense didn't lose the game against NO - special teams did. You can't beat any team in football if you keep handing them the ball at your own 20 yard line. They responded well the next week, albeit against a sorry team. Mark Nov 1 and Nov 8 on your calendar - The Giants and Boys will be exposed.
As for the the Cowboys - they are the same horrible team that hasn't won a playoff game since Romo was riding the shortbus to middle-school (give it up for 1996!). Their RBs will be hurt all year, their WR are all 2nd tier, and their QB is scared of getting hit....anyone see the mic'd up video on NFL.com from week 1? Romo gets hit while throwing a TD and then gets up and instead of celebrating he starts yelling at his linemen - Who got me killed?!?! Speaking of Dallas linemen - Flozell Adams will have about a million penalties again this season because he's huge and stupid. Jason Witten is awesome, but he can't do everything. And what about Jerry Jones? He's making people $100 for standing room only tickets with absolutely no view of the field. Add all that up and you have to admit the entire Cowboys organization sucks a fat one.
Also, pretty lame of Mosley to use strength of schedule to back up his argument. He's quick to point out the Eagles have only beat Carolina and KC, but he fails to mention Dallas has earned their wins over. . .oh yeah. . .Carolina. . .and that beast of a team from Tampa Bay. Both Dallas and Philly have suffered their only losses to undefeated teams. Strength of schedule can't be a factor in this discussion. But he's the expert, surely he knows best.

I'm not an idiot. I know the Eagles have flaws and that there are huge question marks on the team. That being said, I refuse to let some turd burglar who wears Cowboys pajamas blast the Eagles in a supposedly loyalty-neutral forum. Reading his articles is almost as bad as listening to Michael Irvin on TV, or, worse, Merril Hoge say anything at all about football in general. Why can't everyone be like Jaws? He's a classy guy who leaves his green at home when he heads to work at the studio. Everyone loves Jaws. Even David Anderson of the Houston Texans:
