Game Day ***Cowboys vs Saints Pre-game Thread***

[BigBlacKahuna]

Won’t be able to watch it live cuz I’ll be at work. Hope I have something good to watch when I get home. Go Cowboys!!!

The outcome of this game could really come down to Prescott and the kicker. The Saints have a solid run defense and the running game is a shell of itself the last month and a half.

Should be a good one tonight.

And great to have #90 back.

 

[Deep_South]

We need to show some discipline tonight and cut way down on the penalties. Giving up 166 yards on 14 penalties in one game is simply unacceptable. It's ridiculous.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

Hopefully Anthony Brown shows some pride tonight. I can already visualize them trying to PI bait him.

Nerves are shot too early for the game threads..

1st must win of 2021....Time to clean up our act.

I'd kinda like to see us come out in up tempo from the git go. No huddle .. I mean the first 12-15 plays have already been scripted anyway so why the need to huddle? They been working on those plays for a week and every player on the offense should know them in his sleep. Come out in attack mode.. Spread the field.. attack laterally.. make their big uns up front chase .. Go from there..

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

I hope so. I plan to be in full fursuit watching this game at the con.

then go full stop and run 14 straight times )

Man I'd probably fall out of my chair if we even ran 4 straight times .. 14 would give me a heart attack.. People will scream but run for 3, run for 3 means 3rd and 4. This leaves the offense on schedule vs the chains. And depending on position on the field it's 4 down territory so you can run it again on 3rd down.. All the while letting YOUR guys hit THEIR guys in the mouth...

Saints have the 3rd best run defense in the league. This game is all on Dak! He needs to show up and play well or the Cowboys could lose. Come on Dak, earn your money tonight!

 

[IceStar-D7]

That just happened.

So let me get this right. They will be missing 2 starting Olinemen. We miss one and it's doomsday. If we can't destroy the Saint's Oline tonight? When will we destroy anybody's?

 

[Hadenough]

Let's not forget the Saints Taysom Hill has a foot problem. But wait, they also have Siemen that scrub who looked elite against Dallas in 2017 when he was with Denver.

However, the Saints have given up 355 yards rushing in the last two games, including getting gashed for 242 yards by Philadelphia two weeks ago.

This is good and bad. Without Davenport, Turner and Kpassagnon they have been vulnerable.

To counter this though, Hurts and Allen hurt them with their feet and presence to run. Dak needs to be ready to take off and get some tough yards with his feet

I remember that. He had a Hall of Fame quality game against the Cowboys. And has been trash against everybody else.

Good times

I don’t disagree.

But he had Bay Bay Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, CJ “I only dominate Dallas” Anderson and a top flight defense.

Saints have the defense. But nothing to resemble what they had on offense.

Which defense shows up today, and which special teams show up as well?

Good defense will show up. Ingram will get his 75-120. We just need to limit Hill running and any cheap gimmick deep passes.

Special teams is good for a missed XP or field goal. Greg should be ok as it’s inside in a dome

 

[Cowpolk]

GO COWBOYS!!!
