(December 29, 2008)—So much for all that preseason Super Bowl hype; America's Team now heads back to Dallas to polish up its golf game.
With a playoff berth on the line, the Dallas Cowboys were blown out by the Philadelphia Eagles in a 44-6 loss.
Philadelphia scored first with a field goal during their second possession.
The Cowboys would then tie it up in the next drive -- the longest possession of the night for Dallas -- which began at the 20-yard-line.
In the second quarter, third-and-seven, Donovan McNabb steps up and eludes pressure, passes to Correll Buckhalter who would take it 59 yards to the Dallas 6.
Donovan McNabb would later pass it four yards to Corell Buckhalter for a touchdown: 17-3 Eagles
Second-and-five, Tony Romo throws left off his back leg; the pass was intended for Roy Williams but it was picked off by Sheldon Brown.
On ensuing possession, Donovan McNabb faked a handoff, rolled right and found Brent Celek in right corner of end zone for one yard touchdown; 24-3 Eagles.
In the third quarter, Tony Romo was hit by Brian Dawkins as he threw, Chris Clemons picked up the ball and ran it back 73 yards for touchdown; 34-3 Eagles.
First and ten, Cowboys at the Eagles 12, Tony Romo completes to Marion Barber who gets hit by Brian Dawkins inside 5 yd line. Barber fumbled and Joselio Hanson returned it 96 yards for td; 41-3 Eagles.
Philadelphia would go on to win the game 44-6; the Eagles finish 9-6-1, get a wild card and live to play another week at NFC North champion Minnesota next weekend.
The Cowboys finish the season 9-7 and again fail to make playoffs.
Dallas moves into its new $1.1 billion, 100,000-seat stadium next season to begin its thirteenth season since the team has seen a playoff win.

get rid of the so called superstars. Get someone in their who wants to play. Also they need someone with a back bone to clean up the team, too many conflicts this year. Drugs, fights, ect. And players thinking they could do a better job running the plays then the coaches, oh that was TO for you winning again. Go Patriots. Never have been a Cowboy fan and never will be.

Who cares? I certainly don't. There are more important things in life besides football (and yes, I am not from Texas). We need to stop worshiping these overpaid, steriod-using thugs.

WAY TO GO COWBOYS! Americas team left when they ousted Landry. Arrests, drugs, bad attitude, lack of committment. Landry would not have put up with it nor would he have allowed them back on the team. They need to lower the ticket and food prices so that families can afford the outing. Cut all salaries and pay on a scale of how they played. If they would play for the love of it then every game would be do or die. But then according to Sundays game we have a team of dead people.
