if the igles don't get the challenge here, epic coaching fail.

You mean ref fail? He's got the 1st down by about 2 feet in the replay. The ball was almost at the tip of the Eagles logo when his elbow hit the ground.

I don't think it was at the tip of the Eagles logo. It was at the tip of the feathers, not the beak. It was maybe 6 inches farther than where they spotted it, which would have been right around the first down line. Assuming he wasn't down until his right elbow hit the ground.

I'm calling it a game. Eagles offense can't get much movement and the defense is just tired.

Cowboys seem to have a slightly easier schedule for the rest of the season. It could come down to week 17, Eagles @ Cowboys.

As a long time Dallas fan through thick and thin over the last 39 years, I can tell you that the dirty bird (Philly) has a way of comming back. Not even I am counting them out yet.
