They collapse in December. That is the Dallas Cowboys' recent history. And until they prove otherwise and win a playoff game for the first time in more than a decade, they will be looked at skeptically. They've earned that.
- Noon Tuesday: Live Eagles chat
Editor's note: Ashley Fox blogged during last night's Eagles-Cowboys game. Here's a sampling:
Pregame Brian Westbrook is inactive. The team released a statement, saying Westbrook started having symptoms of "a mild headache" on Friday.
-
Every word that comes out of Donovan McNabb's mouth for public consumption is deliberate. Everything he says has meaning, a purpose, and an intended audience.
-
To hear Tony Romo tell it, everything is rosy at the Ranch. The Dallas Cowboys are working hard, taking things day by day, focused on improving, not gazing at the big goal, just doing all the little things it takes to get there.

Editor's note: Every Tuesday, Ashley Fox participates in an online chat at philly.com. Here's a look at some of the questions and answers from yesterday.
-
They are, in the estimation of no less an authority than Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott, two of the "elite" pass-rushing defensive ends in the NFL. For the Eagles to hold off the New York Giants, much less thrash them as they did Sunday, the offense had to keep Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck off quarterback Donovan McNabb.

Ashley Fox blogged during yesterday's Eagles-Giants game. Here's a sampling. Pregame Here we are pregame before the 153d meeting between the Eagles and New York Giants. It's overcast outside, and the Eagles just left the field for the last time before kickoff. Fans are trickling in. It seems to be a slow-arriving crowd; folks are probably still bleary-eyed after that late Phillies-Yankees game last night.
-
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - He looks the same. Still rumpled and boyish, Eli Manning seems as if he just rolled out of bed, even though it's after 2 o'clock on a rainy afternoon last week at the New York Giants' expansive new practice facility.
-
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The New York Giants haven't forgotten. The playoff loss to the Eagles to end last season was bad enough. But what Donovan McNabb did toward the end was even worse.
-
As we cruise toward what should be an electric Sunday in South Philly, let's take a couple of Eagles questions I couldn't get to during yesterday's chat on philly.com. And remember, folks, the Eagles actually beat the Washington Redskins on Monday night by double digits.
-
Ashley Fox blogged during the Eagles-Redskins game last night. Here's a sampling. The ESPN Monday Night Countdown crew unanimously picked the Eagles over the Redskins tonight. Ditka. Keyshawn. Steve Young. Cris Carter. Tom Jackson. And a couple of ESPN talking heads.
-
There is an art to calling plays in the National Football League. Sometimes you're Picasso, and sometimes you're a 2-year-old with a crayon and a wall. It takes time, discipline, patience, and practice - none of which Sherman Lewis has had in the last five years, at least where football is concerned.
