Our D just gave up 34 points to a team that had scored 48 all season going into that game and we just lost our QB. Back up QB and awful OL and defense, we are going to give up 50 in this one

How exactly is the defense responsible for the pick six interception? Was the QB snap/fumble at the 17 yard line the defense’s fault?

The offense gifted the Giants 10-14 points.

The defense held the Giants to one TD, 2 FGs, and 159 yards in the first half.

Kyler Murray is going to have a career game against this defense or either the Arizona RB will have a career game or the best game of this season against this defense.

I know we lost Dak, and it sucks. I'm a huge fan of Dak, but the fact is we have the division lead. Andy Dalton was brought in here for this moment. This is going to be a tough game. Arizona's qb is playing outside of his mind and containing their WR is going to be a headache. If Dallas can run the ball, slow the game down, I like our chances.

The only caveat with the new makeup of our team is that the focus of the team is now not on the qb but Elliott. This should help Dalton spread the ball around.

If Dallas somehow wins this game, it will be the first time in a long time Dallas gets a W against a winning team.

What say you? What are your vibes thus far with Monday's matchup?

Zeke is the key here if he runs and eats the clock we can win.
Dalton will be a pleasant surprise moving the ball just enough to keep Zeke going.
Feed me are you ready????

It is very interesting to see how we get on. I will hold up my hands if I'm wrong but many people are about to be surprised how well Dalton will play in this offense.

Its gonna take some kinda flashback back to 2016 ball control offense.
One, the problem is that the current oline doesn't possess the mauling/ roadgrading/ impose your will TOP run blocking talent to accomplish this.

And two, and perhaps more importantly, is this dynamic duo(lol)of McCarthy/Moore capable of transforming this current wide receiver centric offense back into a more ground game and ball control style?

I have zero faith that they can and at the remote case that they did, this defense still will not stop any opposing offenses wth a pulse.

Just an opinion
Go Cowboys

It's a very simple analysis for this game.

Dalton has to play lights out. The Cards will make Nolan look inept, yet again.

Hopkins against this defense almost gives me calvin Johnson flashbacks from a few years ago.

LvE should be back which is a huge help. I saw actual progress from dlaw and jaylon last week.. your secondary is getting healthy. All things that give me a small glimmer of hope, but these DTs continue to scare me. Might be the worst DT group in the league, especially of hill cant go. Our scheme really depends on those guys winning at the line too.

I think the offense is fine with dalton. I expect more zeke/pollard, but this team can still put up 30+, and should be expected to do so.

Don't feel great about this one, but think we have a punchers chance.
Gallimore seemed to do an admirable job replacing Hill given hes rookie whos hardly played..

Chandler Jones looks like he is out for the season with a biceps injury. That should help the offensive line. Hopefully Chido and LVE will be back. Gonna be another barn burner.

It was his first real PT, so he gets some slack there, but he looked lost at times and got pushed around a bit.

Double team Hopkins and keep Murray in the pocket as his running threat and Hopkins are the two primary threats in terms of Cardinals offense. Defensively Arizona can get after the QB so quick hit passing by Dalton should help negate that; OL has to open holes for Zeke to eat up the clock.
