[unsportsmanlikeconduct]

Offsides on the offense is now in vogue apparently.

 

[Cydios]

Truly worried.. flurries and illness. Not good at all. Run game will determine winner.

 

[KJJ]

Cooks and Gilmore who were questionable with an illness are expected to play.

Let's Go Cowboys!
Here's a video of my favorite Buffalo Bills fans ever. It never gets old.
Gary really got inside his head and hurt this man.

Did you have your own opinion I have mine my eye says I seen them go six straight games giving up a score on the first drive of every game I've seen them give up a ton of scores right out of halftime it isn't just teams that know Dan Quinn... I'm telling you they're rod marinelli's type defense where they bend the lot they're being moved on and then they get a turnover yes I know it's in our DNA to get turnovers but I am not seeing the team that gets a moniker they are not doomsday they are not the legion of boom even but they for sure not the 86 bears or the 2000 Ravens these teams locked you down and it was obvious if your offense can score 14 points you win that game every single time you didn't need to have a offense that has to score close to 30+ points a game to win..

they were ran over by the AZ team sorry it's more of an issue than you think the teams we might see are gonna be the 49ers the Eagles or another team that can score like Detroit they're very much built like Seattle and we saw what Seattle did and I know we were on a long schedule I'm just telling you this defense is not as consistent as you might think in your mind because I'm watching these games with an open mind and it's great when they're getting all these pick sixes and fumble recoveries but when we're not they're giving up long drives... I've seen them so many times get third downs and 4th downs to convert it on them too many times they're getting chunk plays yes we have a very good defense when you put it all together with the turnovers and the sacks and all that stuff but they have yet to show me they can literally shut a team down from the beginning of the game to the end and our offense could literally run all game and win a low scoring game against a good team...

So yes as a whole with everything put together with the metrics they're very good defense but when you look at it with an open mind and you watch every snap of every game which I do and I think most people in here dude you're overrating this defense they're more susceptible than you think if they don't get a turnover our offense has to score a lot because the time of possession gets eaten up by the other team's offense is ability to move this ball on our defense...

I'm not saying they suck we are still one of the top defense but we are not one of those transcendent generational defenses that get a moniker and a T-shirt the 49ers are closer to that... Look I'm not trying to be negative I'm just trying to keep an open mind and a dialogue to say look out this defense has not been that good you're asking the Cowboys offense and dak Prescott to be the scapegoat because they're going to be lots of games where he's goanna have to do like he did in Seattle and you can't expect that in the playoffs...​

Especially if we end up playing on the road all playoffs that is going to be tough and I've yet to see it and I'm hoping I'm wrong trust me... But I see more rod marinelli in this year's defense, bend bend bend but get that TO and not break many times, than I see any of the doomsday defenses or lockdown top ten defenses of all time,

we are not that IMHO. This is the main reason Mike McCartney had to go from being conservative his entire offseason was spent building a low risk offense that didn't work because he knew he knew after a lot of those games that the defense were getting walked down that we were going to need more offense and he flipped the switch on the offense and thank God for Prescott coming through and our offense being able to pick the defense up when it's not on you know like last year they blew the two road games against Green Bay and Jacksonville when Prescott this office handed them a 17 and 14 point fourth quarter lead this is what our defense is we will lose those games that we don't get the late T/O to stop a cortical drive against a playoff caliber team on the road...

Look, we're about to find out today and then against Miami and against Detroit thank God the Detroit game is at home but I hope the distraction of the Ring of Honor halftime show doesn't show i could bite them in the butt it could be our only home loss of the year...

Look I hope I'm wrong but I don't have that same confidence that you do in our defense... But as a whole yes our team I have total confidence in but it's gonna take all of them to win it all and I have not yet to see that well you know how many years...

I hear ya on the defense. It’s a bend but don’t break style. However they’re 3rd in total yards so do play good defense at times. Usually when it counts. But it does concern me.

 

[Reid1boys]

if you were planning on streaming....looks like the golden goose is down

 

[Whirlwin]

Don't have a good vibe on this game. Playing on the road in weather, on turf, can't run the football or stop the run.

I agree the bills are in trouble. Oh that’s right the bills are home, lol they’re still in trouble.

 

[Mannix]

Excuse preparation: Engaged

Your response made me laugh...but please give me props when it plays out.

He should have been interviewed again when he thought the FOURTH time would be the charm.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Cowboys!

You bros ready to get exposed these next two weeks?

The weather concerns me for this game. I think we work Miami.

Any mods here please inbox me!

 

[Go Big D!]

My transformer just blew. I’ll have to keep up with the game in the game thread. That should be good for my nerves!

 

[Surfguy]

May the football be with you.

[Pipelayer72]

I'm hoping Pollard gets going to open up some play action. Limit Allen's ability to scramble. I sense another Bland interception for a touchdown today. Go Cowboys!!!
