Prediction Time: Cowboys vs Seahawks

[CoachD]

Now that we've finally recovered from one of all time greatest comebacks in the history of the game it's on to Seattle. When I looked at this game on Tuesday I really thought that the Seahawks were gonna blow the Cowboys out because the Cowboys defense is really bad and Russell Wilson who I think is one of the top three quarterbacks in the league is on fire but as the week went on things started to seem different, the Seahawks defense stinks too and there won't be any fans in the stands and that's a huge advantage to any team that goes in there with the stands being empty. Now I'm not so sure what the Cowboys are gonna look like at left tackle this week because Smith is still having stinger issues and if he plays who knows how long he can go. On the other side of the line Steel certainly isn't the man of steel and is having pass protection problems. As far as Seattle's injury front goes they have two key players out on defense one being Bobby Wagner and that's a huge loss so with that being said I certainly expect a shootout and I have a funny feeling about this one, it's the Cowboys in another very close tight one.

MM addressed a question about no fans at Seattle. His response was it is still a road game, and is an unfamiliar territory as all road games, so it is still a tough environment. or something to that effect.
But it could be coach speak also, as no fans really is a huge difference.

Dallas has 41 plays of over 10 yards, Seattle has given up 47 plays of over 10 yards. Both lead the NFL in those categories. And now Seattle is down several more players.
This can be huge.

So our D needs to show some improvement and make some stops. I actually like our O against their D, more Ethan their O against our D.
Of course contain Wilson at all costs.

Dallas 34, Seattle 31
Late TD by Seattle make it close, but the can not replicate the watermelon kick.

Who is playing for Dallas? Is Diggs playing? Tyron? Lawrence?

So many injuries, but I am not convinced about Seattle. I have a gut feeling that Dallas is going to win. My brain tells me no way, but I just have one of those feelings and I have felt this way since the schedules were announced. I think Dallas wins and it would not shock be it it was a little lopsided. I know this sounds completely stupid, and I can't explain it. Dallas is due to play a good game, an A game.

I want so bad to trust MM to release the dogs on offense but I have to see it first. We have one defensive advantage and it’s a big one. Our pass rushers are better then their offensive line. I think Lawrence, Griffin, and Aldon will show. I don’t think Seattle is better then the Rams but Russ is playing out of his mind. Then I look at the teams he has beaten so far and I think our defensive pass rush is better then New England and Atlanta. The game will be close.

Cowboys 33- Seattle 31

Diggs had a full practice Thursday.
Tyron and DLaw, neither practiced. However DLaw's wife just gave birth, so he was gone on Tuesday, not sure about Wednesday, though he is listed for now as questionable for his knee.
Tyron was supposedly dressed, but on the sideline, not sure if working with the trainers or just there.

I originally picked the Cowboys to score an upset because of the Seahawks big emotional win against the Patriots Sunday night would have them a little flat in this game. However, I was being a homer forgetting that the Cowboys also emptied their emotional bucket in the comeback against the Falcons. This cancels each other out and I'm just picking the better team.

The one with a real franchise QB.

Sorry, bros.

Seahawks 30
Cowboys 20

 

[CATCH17]

I want to pick Dallas so bad.

I really think this game is more of a coin flip than people think.

The truth is we have a ton of injuries and are currently a sloppy football team.

Does it come together this week?

I wish I knew if Tyron and Lawrence were playing...


Oh well.. Let’s go..


33-27 Cowboys!

I think Dak has all day to throw in this one and Michael Gallup has a big day.

It’s a toss up though.

 

[aria]

With Seattle giving up the most yards in the league, almost 500 per game and us having the slightly better defense and more offensive weapons I’m going with...

Dallas 38
Seattle 31

[cowboyec]

the last 2 games...rookie CB Trevon Diggs has ALMOST gotten some int's.
sunday....he gets one.
Dak rises to the challenge and presses the tempo...causing problems for seattles defense.
Cowboys bend but don't break defense manages to come up with a key stop or 2...doing just enough to secure a big road win.
Cowboys 28
seattle 24
GO DALLAS

Where did you hear that Bobby Wagner was out?

 

[erod]

Don't feel great about it.

Seattle 42, Dallas 24.

Speak it into existence. I think we pull out a shocking win, putting Dallas into that category that we’ll contend. Dallas is starting to gel. Offense was good last week, we just tripped over our shoes way too much in the first Q. I think they clean that up. Seems like this Dallas team makes adjustments unlike Garrett’s Cowboys.

I say we win 36-31. Speak it into existence!!

 

[Dallasfann]

36-28 Cowboys. Book it. Team comes out looking good for once.

Wilson is a baller and if he’s sits in the pocket without harassment, he will pick us apart. Only pressure will make him turn the ball over which is a necessity

Offense needs to feed Zeke, not turn over the ball like last week and give Wilson short fields. Dak needs to dink and dunk, which plays to his strength, and take a couple shots down the field, like the Patriots did so well.

Special teams isn’t the Liability it was last season so I expect them to play well.

 

[Idgit]

Down two CBs v Russell Wilson and that deep ball?

Yeah, this will be a fun game, but we need a multiple turnover advantage to win it. We’re not playing well enough on defense despite the great coaching to deliver that.

 

[Praxit]

33-30 >>>> Dallas. Minus bonehead mistakes, will do fine.
