Cowboys/Browns Predictions

[Aven8]

Cleveland is no different then us. They were up on the Gents and blew it on stupid mistakes. They were driving and they turned it over and it snowballed.

No different then us. Mistakes at the wrong time. Bad play calling. The O is a wreck. What's funny is a stat I heard the other day is we are 3-1 on the season with 13 penalties or more. Absurd.

I say Clev has a chance. Noon game. Bye week. We lose this one then get ready for the SP Train.

There's a huge difference between the two teams and you only need to look at the QBs to find it.

I'm expecting a dog fight.

I really don't think Dallas will walk over them and don't care if they do or not.

It's a league where every weak some team shows up and beats someone they aren't supposed to.

Three weeks ago Cleveland beat San Diego, 7-6.

The week before that they pushed Indy to their limits, losing 17-13. Had it not been for a missed PAT, it's a 3 point game in the 4th quarter and they're likely not punting from the IND 41 on 4th and 1 midway through the 4th quarter.

Two weeks ago they took a 1 point lead against Baltimore halfway through the 4th quarter in spite of failing to covert a single trip to the Redzone into a TD. 0-5 that day.

Cleveland isn't some JV team. They get paychecks just like the rest of the players in the NFL.

They're defense has been playing much improved ball compared to early in the season. In those three games above I think they gave up like 870 combined yards. 290 yards per game. They forced 5 straight 3-&-Outs to start the second half against Baltimore. I remember that day well because my friend has Ray Rice in a fantasy league and after scoring like 10 points on Baltimore's first drive, he finished the game with like 15. Needless to say, he wasn't too fond of that game after having his eyes light up in the first quarter.


As I said, I expect a dog fight. Whether or not Dallas runs them out of town doesn't really make a difference to me. Does the team play well and do they limit mistakes? That's what I want to see.

I pray it's not another game where Dallas basically lets the other team stay in it because they fail to convert, turn the ball over or commit penalty after penalty.

That's our only chance every week. Romo. But this team is a mess. I want them to prove to me they can clean it up. I crave for that day.

But to your point this team can beat us. Just like anybody.

There's a HUGE difference between us and the Browns. Wow!!

I was referring to both being train wrecks. We have a tad more talent, QB for sure, but we still make "Cleveland" type mistakes.

No, it doesn't upset me. I was just wondering why people are so confident we are going to put up thirty points. What are they basing that on? Our offense has struggled all season long. Where are those points going to come from? What are they seeing in this game that leads them to believe we are doing what we have done only once before this season with major help from the defense/special teams?

[dallasfan4lizife]

15-7 cowboys.

[tantrix1969]

17-13 Dallas

[Dodger]

Prediction huh....

I predict the Cowboys will play down to the competition like they almost always do. They'll win, but we'll probably see a return to sloppy play, turnovers, and double digit penalties.

Cowboys 20
Browns 16
