- They're as good an 0-3 as there is

- Kerry Collins always shreds us

- Keith Davis v.s. Moss and Co.- Yuck

- You don't win 3 in row on the road in the NFL

Well then give us an loss if this is the case, and lets just move on to the next week. Atleast we won't have any injuries.

IMO we have a good shot at this game. Their Defense is not good at all so hopefully our offense can keep us in the game. Probably going to hing on whoever wins the turnover battle.

Anthony Henry is going to have to man up on Randy Moss - Bill said that he brought him in to play T.O., well let's consider this the warm-up act.

But I still see the key to this game as scoring on offense. Another 34-31 game is likely.

I don't think the Cowboys can beat Oakland. However, I think Oakland can beat Oakland.

We're going to take a hellacious beating.

Bledsoe > Collins

They have a poor pass rush, Bledsoe might go nuts.

As for Moss...maybe Roy can take him out.

I am not saying anything I thought we would blow out SF. There is no telling what will happen but my heart can't take much more of this.

CanadianCowboysFan · 09-26-2005

Only CowboyFan would say we have no chance to beat an 0-3 team. We will have to score a ton but we have shown we can do that, averaging 31 points per game on the road.

That sums it up 100%.

I was watching the Raiders leading the Eagles in the 1st half.

And I was thinking to myself how the Raiders were going to screw up to lose the game. And, of course, they did. Mostly by commiting dumb penalties.

A HUGE benefit for us is that the Raiders really play undisciplined ball.

That said, I don't know if we're going to be able to take advantage of it. We've basically got to keep their offense off the field.

JJ needs to have a solid game, and we can't afford to get behind early.

The way I see it, the Raiders have played 3 of the top 5 teams in the NFL so far, and they've hung with all 3, having a chance to win against all 3.

This is our 3rd game away from home, and we're playing a team in desparation mode. Add on to that the fact that they have the one player in the league that owns us the most, in Randy Moss. They also thrive on the deep ball, which is our kryptonite thus far.

We'll move the ball on them, it'll come down to how we control their pasisng game obviously. IF LaMont Jordan, who's basically been a non-factor for them all year, runs like Gore/Barlow did yesterday, we're toast.

Ala the Giants v San Diego - I hate to agree .

MarionBarberThe4th · 09-26-2005

Lamont Jordan is a bigger threat recieving IMO.

Newman/Henry/LB's need to wrap up, no cheap yards

The Cowboys are a team in progress with so many young players on Defense, a new defensive scheme, etc.

I don't expect a victory vs. the Raiders, but I didn't think we were really going to beat SD either. Of course, then I thought we would beat the Skins at home . . . .

I'm just hoping our defense can come together sooner rather than later. Probably being way too optimistic though.

Martice · 09-26-2005

We are so worried about what the Raiders are going to do to us that we fail to think what we can do to them. They will have their hands full with our offense as well. They are in a position to pick their poison if we are clicking on all cylinders.

If our defense can keep us in the game we will have a good chance to have great success on offense and a great chance to pull out a victory.

Good Lord, why even play the game? I know it's cliche, but hasn't everyone learned by now that anything can happen on any given Sunday. Maybe that means Dallas loses? Maybe it means the Raiders lose?

Personally, I think it's going to be another good, close game. Whoever makes the plays in the fourth will likely win.
