Considering the possibility of rain, I think Bill will shutout the Cowboys running game. They will force Moore and Dak to throw more than they are accustomed too.

Which part of this offense will Bill shutdown?

I have no doubts that he'll do his best to stop this offense from the success they've enjoyed up until now. Bill might find it harder to do than he expects, however. At least, that's what we're surely hoping to see. He's clever, though, but not nearly as clever as he was with Tom Brady around. There will be a clash of our offense and their defense but it won't be the first time we've overcome that situation this year. Avoiding a slow start would surely help.

Hopefully, we'll manage to counter whatever they may do on defense to thwart our offensive success. The Patriots aren't the same team they've been in the past. Let's keep it that way, despite being tested. Kellen Moore has found ways to counter opposing defenses. I think he'll manage to do so again! o_O

Looking at NFL.com the Pats have given up almost 1200 yards through the air in five games. The YPC are 12.0+.

They do better against the run. But these are the guys they have played.

Dolphins - - 96 carries 352 yards 3.7 avg........L
Jets - - 104 carries 370 yards 3.6 avg......W
Saints - - 156 carries 629 yards 4.0 avg......L
Bucs - - 103 carries 410 yards 4.0 avg......L
Texans - - 128 carries 399 yards 3.1 avg....W

Cowboys - - 163 carries 864 yards 5.3 avg............L

I understand this team has let us down for a very long time. But the Pats have not faced a running game - 2nd in the NFL - like the one they will see Sunday. I know all about Belichick, but his team hasn't exactly been the 85 Bears against the run.

Per NFL.com their LG and LT are out. Their RB and RG are questionable.

Mac Jones will throw at least one pick as he hurries his passes to keep Gregory and the Wolf from his door. Diggs will be waiting on the rookie.

You do you.

As for me, I think Dallas runs the ball against them, and passes the ball on them, and brings home the 5th win of the season.

I ain't afraid of no ghosts, or Belichick.

Well statistically you have to block the run. Dallas has a win streak while running more then passing, but expect your team to go for a shootout like TB.

That’s what I am thinking whether it rains or not. But we are throwing it well and mixing the run. I am hoping we run it down there throats. Stretch them. That sideline deep throw.

He'll use the Tampa blueprint. Unfortunately for them "we have the hulk" (Martin):dance:
Agreed, but does the pats have a team that can handle a shootout? I'm sure they're going to try to run themselves. Keep Dak off the field. I also believe we're not that great vs the run... better.. but not great

Yeah well i think the Panthers were frauds so we still havent found out about what this team can do against a good defense.
