Our Offense can keep up, our defense has to come up with stops and turnovers......... I'm pretty sure Seahawk fans mirror this exact same thing....they are not looking forward to their D vs our O either. so doable of course but man its such a 50/50 some lucky bounces probably decide this game.

They did but also made some adjustments and held Alt to 10 points in the 2nd half. Defense made the biggest changes this off season including the style of defense they play with more of a hybrid defense. I'm pretty much a bottom line guy and while I do not expect 85 Bears defense to show up I do expect this defense to work and improve and to correct some mistakes they are making out there.
I mean 10 points sounds great and all if Julio had not dropped a gimme 7.

Make a couple of plays - 2 picks that went right through the hands of the defenders as well.

So far - same ole- same ole!

They beat Atlanta and made Newton look like the 2nd coming of Brady and don’t have much of a pass rush. Home field isn’t the advantage it was without crowds. If the defense can gel at all in what’s now the 3rd week then yes this game is winnable in a shootout!

If nothing, our almost plays do not count why should theirs? Hell Dallas should be 2-0 if we were counting almost. I agree defense needs to improve but fact is Alt after putting up 20 1st qrt points managed 19 total points the rest of the way and 10 in the second half. I'm sure we can look at a lot of games over the past 2 weeks and see almost plays that could have changed the outcome of a game but almost does not mean much

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.
It will be interesting.

Moore had a freakin' out of body experience in the second half of the Atlanta game calling the plays.

:eek:

My question is can he recreate that in Seattle?

History sort of suggests lightning will not strike twice.

I see him trying to go back to whatever.

But hope he surprises us.

But if he calls another triple receiver to the right and then throws it to Zeke out there just to get crushed..

I am gonna hurl my beer.

Sure it’s doable. Seattle’s the undeniable favorite but we can win this game. The offense probably needs to drop 30-40 points on the board but we are more than capable of doing that.

Because we are talking about our defense. We failed on 2 ints and on the pass to Julio. We, as a defense should not get a pass because Julio dropped one.

If you are just grading out - the defense failed on those plays.

Watched them play this weekend Wilson looks unstoppable. Their defense looked good.
According to PFF, Seattle has the worst DL coming into the 2020 season while Dallas has the 4th best ranked OL. Ultimately, the Boys OL will be too much Seattle's young defensive front.

They will be able to create the running lanes for Zeke, which will open the play-action game for Dak to hit his targets. Plus, fan noise won't be a factor. Cowboys will hand Wilson & Company their first loss. BOOM!

It probably going to be another barn burner.

I am getting my fire extinguishers out and setting them next to the TV as we speak.

Yeah..

Good point.

We are "deletion creatures" by nature..we fans.

We should not have even been in the game at all at the end.

Thanx, Julio.

I always look forward to our games against Seattle. They're usually a good reality check for how good we actually are that year.

Losing wouldn't surprise me, but winning also wouldn't blow my mind. Both teams have similar issues they need to overcome, especially on defense.
