Tonight, the Dallas Cowboys will return to the scene of the crime. The dreaded ground where thsea tragically and embarrassingly ended last season. The scene of said crime was Lincoln field in Philadelphia. This needs to be a game where the cowboys arrive with revenge on their minds.
The Cowboys are coming in with three straight wins and have had an impressive run. They look to be clicking on all cylinders. But Philadelphia looks just as good. Since losing to the Raiders, the Eagles have been unbeaten. This is not just another game between two very heated rivals; this game is for the division lead.
But for the players who were involved in that fiasco at the end of last season, this game needs to be for redemption. After that despicable display, the Cowboys need to do everything in their power to exact revenge on the eagles.
A win on Sunday night can be just one of the major hurdles that the Cowboys need to focus on getting over for this season to be a success. While an early lead in the division doesn’t guarantee a division title, it does remove some of the pressure. So with the Giants falling fast to earth, and the Redskins looking like an east coast version of the Raiders, This game could be a huge step to a playoff birth.
So, this week at practice, they need to put in huge numbers the final score from last years game and circle it. Then each player needs to swear to their teammates that this will not happen again. If there is a must win game this early in the season, this is it.

It's still hard to believe that the Cowboys closed out the season so poorly last year. Baltimore embarrassed them in their last game at Texas Stadium and Philly bumped them right out of the playoffs with a dramatic trouncing.
I'd like to see nothing better than for the Cowboys to come out and lay the hurt on Philly early.
Dallas is making some great defensive plays early… Romo and crew need to capitalize!
Bad Memories? what you talkin bout willis?
It wasn't a must win, but the win definitely plants them firmly at the head of the BEAST. Looks like NYG and Philly might fall apart due to injuries.
