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 know he is BB...but I honestly think he will in the first half but we're not the same team that waits until it's too late or after the game to adjust. It won't be easy as people think for them! Have more faith in us and less in the opponent

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

I dont think the boys will give up on the run if its not there early, like Garrett used to.

Correct but they have beliceck who may outcoach MM . Hope we win . Not sure the last time we beat New England , since we never beat Brady .
looked it up, last time was in 1996 lol, so about 25 years ago !
Everything points to dallas winning, but if your sure of that you should bet your house or life savings on this game, make some money!

more than likely dallas wins, but with nfl games you never know, especially if it rains during game.

Against this defense and an away game, we will find out how powerful of an offense we really have.

He'll try and stop the run - the key is to put the Cowboys in 3rd and long sitiations and then put pressure on Dak.

Pats dont have a QB who can disect us with the passing game, so not sure what he does on offense. Will need to dig deep into his bag of tricks to get some scores on the board.

He’s gonna try to take out 21-20. Our run game is killing teams, honestly I don’t think BB has any other option but to try and stop them.

It has been mentioned how the Pats defense was successful in shutting down the passing game of Tampa. The question is was that due to the weather as if was raining, Belichick knowing and being use to Brady's tendencies (so he more successful at slowing down the Tampa passing game, because he had worked with Brady for so long). Or a combination of both. And did the hype and emotions surrounding that game, just play a factor in it not living up to expectations and therefore Brady not lighting up the Pats defense like some might have expected him to do.

We'll find out the answers on Sunday.

If he's smart, the run game. Cowboys under Dak are undefeated when they run more than they pass, but not so much the other way around.

This game might look a little ugly for the 1 .5 qaurters but once Dak and Moore unpack BB plan its going to get heated up quick as they Dont have the horses on either side of the ball to stay in this game. As every game so far "Any given Sunday" but if both teams play to thier best we should win by 2 scores again.
Yep, it is amazing how well our offense is able to adapt to what they have seen after the first few drives.

Man, it's like side of football we have seen in decades.

Truth be told - The Patriots are not talented enough on Defense to take away any part of the Cowboys offense. They will need to be aggressive on offense and make it a track meet.

I really hope that NFL teams believe this as much as the media and fans do, especially after Gallup gets back.

70 burger anyone?

Belichick & his struggling offense/rookie qb aren't going to achieve anything playing against this powerhouse squad. It will be another blowout of 30 plus points.

I'd try stopping the run. passing the ball gets the defense back on the field faster and they get gassed later in the game. That's just me.

I'll say this again..the BUC's have a front seven that can shut a good run game down with out help....I dont think any other team has this. If the Pats try and take the run away they WILL be leaving everyone 1v1 on the outside and they dont got the players to win this. If it does not rain hard they will play a Chargers type D and hope we dont move the chains effecient as there is NO WAY they want this score getting into the high 20's and with 1v1 all over it will get there quickly.

Bill could also put two on Coop and their best CB on Lamb. Force Dak to throw to the TEs.

Neither. They will not hold us under 10 rushing yards and Dak will continue to be efficient.
