Here we go again. Another week, another article about how great their D is and that our OL will have their work cut out for them.

(Go to the Ravens message board here, and their fans say they will easily stop Zeke and that Dak is a rookie and will make mistakes cause he has NEVER faced this defense. I guess they are the 1984 Bears now.)

"All season we’ve witnessed rookie tailback Ezekiel Elliott blow through gaps and produce league leading rushing yards. This Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens hope to contain him. Easier said than done, but the Ravens defense isn’t all-talk.

While the Cowboys have the big men on their front, the Ravens have the same. Between Timmy Jernigan, Lawrence Guy and of course Brandon Williams, the Cowboys front line will have their work cut out for them."

At this point the articles should really be more centered around how these D-lines have their work cut out for them. Not the other way around.

Fans on their board are beyond delusional. They are acting as if their d is the '84 Bears. Saying Zeke will be shut down, no problem.

Flacco is horrible. Their offense is no where near the Steelers. Ravens run game too is terrible. Averaging 3.5 ypc. LOL.

Its not the oline against their dline. They have a 3-4 defense. They are great against the run. It will be interesting to watch the dallas offense against their defense. 3, 4, and 5 rushin offenses were controlled by them, but they lost 2 of those games

This will likely be a day that Dak has to win the game without much of a run game. They watched the Dallas-Philly game. They're going to do the same thing, but without backing off at the end.

Fortunately, their offense is nothing special at all.

Their fans are oddly confident even after losing 2 olinemen .

if Dak can nail them with a few splash plays in the passing game, I guarantee you they will start 2nd guessing and the running game will open up

What's it going to be then, eh?

Brandon Williams is a monster, but their other ends are only decent. More concerned with Suggs and their other two rush LBers.

Gonna be a tough challenge as their front seven is very good. But that Vegas line is screaming Dallas and unless Flacco finds himself this weekend or Prescott completely poops the bed, we should win.

Our DL needs to abuse a very understaffed and beaten up OL. It is time we took advantage and got our D involved more in winning games.

It's amazing the lengths that you will go to try to knock him.

Now Philly "backed off"?

And even if he wins, he can't "win", and it will only be due to the Ravens' offense being "nothing special at all".

It's getting laughable at this point.

One of the posters on there was complaining how Cowboys fans are unknowledgeable and then goes ahead and lays this gem:

:laugh:
If that isn't an unknowlegable fan then I don't know what is if this fan wants to talk trash at the very least get the names of the players right.

I heard that our Oline loves playing the 34 now because that 4 and 5 defender only was around 250-260.

The Ravens have played the Browns twice, the Jaguars and the Jets the week they started Geno Smith. Not to mention the week they played the Steelers Ben was clearly still injured.

They're a solid team, but they are being a little over hyped on D.

We all know what an elite QB looks like. Do you think Dak has played at an elite level this season? Seriously?

He's not there right now. I feel confident he will be one day, but not now.

You proceed from a false assumption. This team doesn't need "an elite QB", whatever your personal definition of that may be.

Is Prescott as good as he'll ever be? Likely not

But he's as good as he needs to be to have this team at 8-1.

And if Prescott doing his job was the only determining factor, the team would be undefeated.
