Cowboys need a miracle

[xwalker]

Winning the game against a 2-0 team without Romo, Dez, Mincey, T. McClain, Gregory, Leary and obviously Hardy/RoMc is going to require somewhat of a miracle. I'm not certain that Free or Martin have been 100% healthy either. Hanna and Witten are also banged up.

I was initially still optimistic after Romo's injury because the Cowboys defense will finally face a QB that holds the ball longer than 2 seconds. I really thought this would be the week for the DL to rack up some sacks; however, now that Mincey is out for the game and T. McClain is out for the season to go along with Gregory already out and Hardy still suspended, getting sacks is going to be more difficult.

I really wanted to see Gregory against a QB that takes 7 step drops. Both the Giants and Eagles were getting the ball out in 2 seconds. The average for an NFL QB is somewhere around 3 seconds.


Thinking about the concept of a miracle reminded me of the old audio of Drunk Jerry saying the Romo was a miracle. Hopefully, tomorrow Jerry can say Weeden was a miracle.

Sit back. Relax. & watch that miracle happen over the next few hours.

Cowboys need a miracle--not today they win without a miracle. The Cowboys will need a miracle when they play New England.

we need to play good defense , run the football , no turnovers , limit penalties, and tackle well. That is all.

Beating Atlanta requires a miracle? Didn't know they had the '85 Bears defense and the Kurt Warner Ram's offense.

Yes yes. We also need to execute perfectly the perfect play against their defensive schemes, and pick the perfect defensive scheme for their offense, and execute it perfectly.

Don't know about a miracle, but mistake free/win the turnover battle goes a long way to a victory

Is the roof open so God can see his team play? Sorry Aaron Rodgers, but God is a Cowboys fan.

God can see anywhere. Roof or non.

Greg Hardy will be back for that game. He could be the miracle.

Jerry should get somebody to sneak around and air up the balls to 20 psi for Brady.

Luckily that is a home game and the Pats won't be able to screw with the headsets.

My evil master plan is to get an NFL QB helmet and reverse engineer a method to broadcast on that frequency. I'll go to the game and blast Brady with some tunes while he is trying to get the play. HAhahaha (In James Bond villain voice).

What happened with Mincey....seems no one knows how he got the Concussion...is this cat making a business decision instead of toughing up and playing football....

although they're ailing, this team is deep. If they're able to play sound, fundamental football where players execute on their assignments and NOT ask Weeden to do too much (which we've been guilty of way too many times with Romo), I honestly don't think a miracle is needed. At the same time, I would be lying if I said I was confident and my worst fear is Weeden laying an egg and displaying the misery we could go through the next 8 weeks. Puleeeze have a game plan that let's Weeden be a bus driver while mixing in some well timed big strikes.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Dang Troy looks in better shape than Weeden. Plus he has nice suit jacket. Joe Buck will definitely like it.

 

[Zordon]

I have ZERO confidence in Weeden.

So we need to be clicking on all cylinders to win? Got it!

He sees the writing on the wall. This is probably his last year with the Cowboys so he's not " all in". He came here thinking he was going to be a defensive leader but as soon as the Cowboys signed hardy and drafted Gregory, he realized he was going to be replaced very very soon

We need to be "on the Ball", which the origin of that phrase has nothing to do with sports.
