Anything is possible. Hell, last Sunday should have proven that. Now, if we are talking probable, that's a different story........

Today's NFL is crazy.

Its impossible to predict things like turnovers, who has the ball last, bad calls at wrong time, injuries...

Trying to break it all down on paper is crazy and a waste of time.

They certainly have a shot....they need to limit mistakes and keep Wilson on the sidelines (not run no huddle and get him out there sooner).


I disagree..

Dallas needs to worry about themselves.

They can't play slow football. They suck at it.

They are better at stringing together long drives when they are in a full on attack.

When they play like they did vs the Rams it's a win for the defense.

If the players play a full game like they did in the second half of this past Sunday then Dallas has a good chance to win the game. If they play like they did in the first half of this past Sunday then Seattle will give them a severe beat down.

I agree Dallas can't be conservative when facing top teams. I can promise you settle will not be playing a conservative game. Last season especially I felt when Dallas was on the road or when facing top teams we played it close to the vest trying not to make critical mistakes. I think you are better off opening things up vs top teams.

Best thing right now is Seattle 12th man will be sitting at home. Dallas should be able to run their offense as they choose without concerns of crown noise. Go get them Cowboys!!!

We have just as good of an offense as anyone.

Go be a good offense and not an offense that is scared of the other team.

If we get behind in the game it's fine because we have an excellent offense that is built to come back.

Stop trying to make my team play like it's the 90's when everyone else has their foot on the gas trying to score as much as possible.

Dak Prescott is a much better player when the offense is ran wide open and not when he is doing his Troy Aikman impersonation.

This game won’t be doable for the Cowboys if they don’t find a pass rush. Russell Wilson will eat our defense alive if we give him the time to throw that we gave Goff in week one and Matt Ryan this past Sunday. Stephon Gilmore who’s considered the best corner in the entire league gave up three TD passes to Seattle. Russell Wilson presents a potential nightmare for our defense.

Pass rush has no pulse atm,you can limit Wilson if you can keep him in the pocket and dont give him time to launch deep throws..

It's a tall order, but it's possible. Got to avoid stupid mistakes, especially turnovers. Need to find a way to find some defense, especially pressure on their QB and takeaways. If I were putting money on this game, I would pick Seattle, but I'm a Cowboy fan, so I hope they find a way to play their very best. That must happen if they're to have any chance of winning.

Given the weapons at WR I agree, I also think the chances of Zeke hitting the big runs will happen as defense start focusing more on the Cowboys passing attack. I do think starting off with quicker passes to open things up and slow down the pass rush especially if Tyron misses will be important, I still want Dallas to take shots down the field but I think they have to be careful of down field routs early, get into a rhythm moving the ball set seattle up then use the stop and go routs down field and deep post

I think they surprise a lot of people and beat Seattle. This is assuming MM calls a good game.

They would surprise ME.

I just don't see it, mostly because the Cowboys will certainly start slow with no urgency or creativity (unless MM can fix this!), and they'll fall behind, because certainly I'm not seeing Nolan and the defense doing anything to really slow Wilson, the running game and the stretch passing game. I just don't see it.

The Cowboys could lose by 21+.

If they win, it will be almost a miracle, late, by a few points.

Bad match ups all over the field. Sure, they may win in a shootout, and some superior 4th quarter calls. OK, surprise me, 'Boys, surprise me...

Dallas has just as much firepower offensively and their defense isn't anything special either.

This game is very winnable but...

Will we go back to playing slow caveman football?

Will we fumble the ball 100 times?

Will Mike McCarthy continue to take moronic risks that seem completely uncalculated?



I predict Dallas wins this game if Kellen Moore continues to run the offense like he did against Atlanta and we play offense with increased tempo. We just have too much firepower to deal with.
Kellen Moore does not run this offense. He calls plays.

this game is going to come down to who performs better under center. Wilson or Prescott.


I wouldn’t bet against Wilson.

If the past has taught me anything, it's that Dallas shows up when nobody thinks they will and high caliber teams rest their laurels when they play us because they think we're chumps. The combination has resulted in shocking wins time and time again, so I am saying doable... but for SOME of the WRONG reasons.
STILL have ALOT of work to do here.

Watched them play this weekend as many of you guys did.

Wilson looks unstoppable.

Their receivers, Lockett especially is another Ridley for us.

Their defense looked good.

They are a very tough out at home.

So this looks like another Mission Impossible.

Can Moore and McCarthy pull another rabbit out of our hat?

Suggestions?

this is the NFL. You see the Raiders beat the Saints last night>

Any game is "Doable."

I like our chances if we come out for the first time this season and don't do a mountain of bonehead things or try to slow ourselves down offensively.

If we do something dumb like go away from the quick passing game because we have Tyron back the remote control is likely to go through the TV.

I'm sick of the week 1 / Jason Garrett style of football.

Week 2 was perfect.. Just cut down the fumbles and keep the foot on the gas.
