Is scary good. Young, athletic, fly to the ball. Not to mention when healthy, Berry is a top 3 S back there. Saving grace is Waters vs his old team instead of Mack. They sacked the crap out of Gabbert and held MJD really in check. This is going to be a serious test. On the flip side, I think we can handle Bowe and J Charles. We will not allow more than 275 total yards on D and recover 1 fumble and get one pick. Super premature prediction:

Us:23
Them:19
 
hope so... going to be a tough game. we got to keep Romo from taking hits
 
This again is my concern. Active front lines will take away the run and they will play pass all day long against Dallas. Dez will see doubles and sometimes triples depending on the formation of the Dallas offense.

I think the people who are so sure Dallas will beat this team may find it is closer than anyone might imagine.
 
It's more than their front 7. They have good corners too. You'll have to kill Alex Smith to win this.
 
Aren't we overhyping them a little? They did go 2-14 and yes I know they didn't have Alex Smith or Eric Fisher

I think KC is a rough team to play at their house, Dallas will have their hands ful. As for KC it is hard to tell what they are when playing a pitiful team like Jacksonville.

yeah, that's a tough game. BUT.....the Jags are so bad that we can't overreact. I might bet against Jville for the next 15 games and make some money

The Giants probably gave a pretty good blueprint for how to defend the Cowboys last night, especially with teams that have the players up front to defend the run well. Take Dez away and make us dink it down the field. I know that Romo said that they showed a coverage they've never showed before, so now there's tape of that and how it gave the team trouble. Now it's on the Cowboys to come up with an answer to that. I hope Waters gives us more oomph in the running game, that would help.
 
They weren't stable at the QB position. Alex Smith is no TB, but he won't lose the game for them either. Andy Reid knows our team and has an advantage on prepping for us. He will know how to attack us on both sides of the ball. This is all the reason why this will not be easy.
 
lol the Pro Bowl. If they had so many great players why did they go 2-14?

They weren't a good team last year, but still had talent. After adding one of the great head coaches in the modern era and a competent quarterback, I expect significant improvement. This has the potential to be Seattle all over again.

Because they lacked a Pro Bowler at a key position. Quarterback. Quarterback play was TERRIBLE.


I always felt the Chiefs had a solid team. That's why I thought they could afford to go OL with the 1st pick. They have Jamaal Charles. They have great linebackers. They have a solid D line. Eric Berry and Brandon Flowers......this will not be a cakewalk. Only saving thing is they don't have much at the receiving position.
 
I really think we missed the speed and the play making of Dunbar last night.

Exactly this. If teams want to copy what the Giants did, Dunbar can really make a difference. Also it might help to activate Beasley against this type of defense, giving us another quick weapon underneath. Waters is going to make a huge difference on the Oline. Remember too that this was Leary and Frederick's first NFL start they will only get better.
 
Gabbert is horrible. He threw two picks and wasn't pressured on either play. The second one was straight to DE Tamba Hali for a walk in td.
 
They added Andy Reid and Alex Smith to an already talented defense. Reid knows Dallas but that also works both ways, Dallas knows Reid. Jacksonville is that bad of a team, so it is hard to gauge exactly how much KC has improved.

If the game was in Dallas, I think it would be a win. In KC, will be a tough one but winnable. It will not be a cakewalk though.
