What is our record, say last few years, after extra time off? I have zero access to that answer, but the quantum computer in my brain says - we underperform expectations greatly.

Not sure why, but with extra time to work and prepare, we seem of late to look like the *other* team.

You don't think? That would mean the Ravens are a 3 point favorite on a neutral field. I think that's fair.

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

I fully expect another embarrassing loss. Once they get up 10-0, this team will fold and Garrett will go into panic-mode and start calling all pass plays. Romo throws 2 picks. That's what I expect.

I don't expect anything different from what I've seen the last three weeks.

My house is white. Every day when I return from work, I expect to see a white house.

It will stay white until I do something about it ... like paint it red.

But unless I paint it red, it will stay white.

Our house is white right now ...

And let me guess, you have no plans to paint it red anytime soon?

To stack one bad loss after another?

No seriously, I want and hope to see some new wrinkles like Beasly in the lineup and actually shock Baltimore that he's in there. But we won't. We will stay stubborn and stay with the plan.

I would like to see Rat play well and stay healthy. I would love to get Demarco going. This guy needs 30 touches a game minimum.

I would like to see the run defense make Flacco win it, but Rice will gash us.

There is lots of hope, but it always goes bad, except for the Giants game. That is the only game I can remember in a while that we won.

Piss poor coaching is the main culprit when it comes to the problems I mentioned. Jerry Jones decided to shove Garrett into the HC position when he wasn't ready and it shows. Jason Garrett is not a good football coach...doesn't mean he won't be but he isn't one now and the fault and responsibility are ultimately Jerry's. 17 years or so of garbage...I just don't understand how some here can't put two and two together.

Rarely do the Cowboys look good returning from a bye week. Instead of looking charged up and ready to play they look sluggish and unprepared like they've been laying on a beach in Cabo the entire time. Long weeks and bye weeks do the Cowboys more harm than good. They seem to lose their focus. They lost coming off their bye the last 2 seasons. They'll have their work cut out for them next week reversing that trend vs the Ravens on the road.

Nothing. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

They have proven to be way too inconsistent for me to have any expectations. I will be watching, wearing my Cowboys stuff and cheering them on, but I have no expectations.

My expectations is to expect what we've seen over the past three weeks.

Seattle showed the NFL the gameplan to stop the Cowboys O dead in it's tracks. It's pretty simple too. Seahawks, Bucs, and Bears did it with relative ease.

If the Bucs had half a QB, we'd be staring at 1-3.

Far be it from me to complain about the color of your house.

Nothing, but I hope they go back and look at the offensive game plan againt the Gmen and realize that is the only way they will ever score points and move the ball. Romo cannot be allowed to drop back more than 3 steps because on the fourth he is running for his life. Quick slants and outs, just keep the chains moving Garrett.
