I honestly hate saying this, but I expect the SOS different game. The Ravens will punch them in the mouth and they will fold.....

I EXPECT Garrett to have a "Great Offensive Gameplan" with adjustments to the Game Plan during Halftime. He has had extra days to prepare for the Ravens and if his Process Talk is correct than a Raven Win will be the next building block to a long winning streak.

I can't say that I agree with you. They certainly had success against the Patriots and held the Browns running game down because they stacked the box against them, but the Bengals, Eagles and Chiefs all ran successfully against them. They have also showed some vulnerability to running backs catching the ball out of the backfield. Richardson put up almost 60 yards receiving against them.

Richardson - 104 total yards and a touchdown
BJGE - 91 Yards and a touchdown
McCoy - 81 yards and a touchdown
Charles - 160 total yards and a touchdown

I certainly respect their defense, but being 20th in the league against the run is not quite solid.

To be honest, I no longer have any expectations of this team. I'm just going to wait and see what happens. Hopefully we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

We will lose both, but if for some crazy reason we win next week, we will CERTAINLY lose to Carolina.

No. We could of lost that Tampa Game. Romo fumbled on that sack and Tampa ran it in for a touchdown but it was called back, so we could have lost that game also.

Well, I don't think that anyone is expecting a 'Passa Doble.'

But there IS the making of a great football game.

You have the drama, yea, for real.

A Cowboy team that has yet to make a lasting mark in a game, that they believe in themselves.

The Ravens, have a roster filled with some of the older players who have been to a Super Bowl themselves.

The Ravens' offense is built upon a physical model. Their offensive line is very large and on the mold of the Cowboys' dynasty period.

They are committed to running the ball and their running back, Ray Rice, is one of the top three in the NFL. But he has proven to be equally dangerous running and receiving the ball, both.

The physicality runs into their receivers, where Antuan Bolden and Torrey Smith add a marriage of ability and dominance as well. Bolden can be as hard to bring down with the ball, as is Rice. And Smith seems to be able to seperate with coverage running alongside, with his dramatic explosion and leaping ability.

On the Dallas side, it has a newly forged and talented secondary. It has a pretty respectable run defense that will be strengthened with the return of both Kenyon Coleman and Anthony Spencer. And we shall see if Jay Ratliff added to a pass rush, can create real problems up the middle and dangerzone for a passing pocket.

The motivation for the offensive line, to come together, could well be a very tough Raven defensive front that can bring heat and menace up and down the line of scrimmage.

But the biggest questions will revolve around how aggressive the Dallas receivers are against a secondary that has a top shelf of Ed Reed.

Challenge!

(1) Throw to Dez Bryant deep
(2) Run play action passes more
(3) Run more on third downs

(4) MEET THIS CHALLENGE!!
There's no right way to do the wrong thing.

To compete for the playoffs, Dallas has to improve here: Only four sacks against Eli Manning over the past six games!

Asked about the New York Giants and Philadelphia both being 3-2, only a half-game ahead of Dallas, Carr said he didn't even know the records of the other teams in the division.




The Cowboys have enough to think about with their upcoming stretch of four of five games on the road. The first is Sunday at AFC North-leading Baltimore (4-1).




"You know they're going to be physical. They play that way. That's their style," defensive lineman Marcus Spears said. "Obviously they've been playing great ball for a while. But we've got to go up there and handle our business. It's not about them, it's about us."




After the Ravens, the Cowboys are at Carolina before their only home game in a six-week stretch, against the defending Super Bowl champion Giants. Dallas beat New York on the road in the season opener in its only division game so far.




Then the Cowboys travel to Atlanta (5-0) and Philadelphia.

So I expect this team to blow out Baltimore and make their defense look pedestrian.

When it happens, this board will turn on a dime, the Chicago loss will be forgotten and just about everyone will be discussing Super Bowl.
Only to lose to the Panthers the following week.



I want to believe that Garrett is going to scheme to cover the weaknesses of the offensive line to open up the run and pass for the Cowboys so that the offense can put some points on the board.

I want to believe the players are going to come into this game and show a determination and focus the likes of which we have never seen before from this bunch.

I want to believe that the team will not only win, but give us hope for the future.

But I'm expecting the same old Cowboys that we have seen for the past several years.
