Video: Can the Broncos stop the Cowboys?

Also watch out for Wolfe up the middle. He apparently has a gimpy ankle but he's a force on the rush and run game.

After facing Snacks last week Wolfe will be a week off for those guys!!

Hope so.

I'm not. Miller will win his share of battles, but to win the game, every Bronco has to win like Miller...and that ain't happening. For me, the question is rather or not the Cowboys defense can have success against the Broncos offense similar to last week. If so, we win...because the Broncos are not going to prevent the Cowboys from scoring. They have a good defense, but I'd say the Giants is better...and we all know how that turned out.

We keep him to 1 or 2 sacks we did our job. Miller is not beating us on his own in this game They need a great team effort not only on D but they better move the ball and score points.

This is when I worry, when we play weaker players. Seems we choke at times in these situations.

Schlereth a major league homer and DC hater for good reason (I guess). But IMO his comments are pretty spot on. Semien had a pretty good game last week for a "game manager". It's going to be a war for 4 quarters. We protect the ball and keep running the ball, we should be ok.

Game Manager vs Game Manager

Game Manager vs Game Manager

Hmmm, I honestly don't know where Wentz's QB status entered into this thread but I think Wentz has yet to earn a rating up to "Game Manager" status at this point. He's still working off his rookie rust I hear. .

Their QB is good enough to win with their D but not sure they can beat the Pats and Oakland in the playoffs.

That there is the type of thinking upsets are made of. That was last year. This is this year. Or do you believe a player is doomed to be what ever he was in his rookie season for the remainder of his career?

No, but that was a 14 game sample vs 1 game this year. What's a better predictor?

What happened last week is a much better indicator of what will happen this week versus what happened for 14 weeks last year...but that's just my opinion. To be clear, I don't put Siemian in the top 15 of quarterbacks in the league; but that doesn't mean the Cowboys should overlook him. I have the Cowboys beating the Broncos...but I think Siemian will give the Cowboys more of a fight than did Eli.

Agreed.

They were in the bottom of the league last year for run defense.

They didn't change much in the off season in that respect.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I see this game as very similar to the Giants game. We're playing another team with a top 5 defense and a bad offense. I think this game will play out very similarly, with our pass rush looking good against a subpar to bad offensive line, and our elite offense will move the ball effectively against a great defense. Hopefully we can convert more of those long drives into TDs this game, as that was the one weak spot against the Giants.

Right now I think Denver's offense is considerably better than the Giants. Eli is slipping badly and they were without their best weapon. I think Denver will play us much tougher than N.Y., but I think we still win.

 

[Gameover]

If Dak plays like he did last season: No

If he plays like he did Sunday night: Yes

 

[Silver Surfer]

I just want to see Martin pull and destroy Miller on a few plays.... that's all.

I couldn't agree more. I actually see Siemian as being much improved over the rookie QB that he was last year. On top of that, Anderson is a load to stop when they're on offense, giving them balance that renders them far more capable than most here give them credit for.

Combine that with their insanely raucous crowd that drowns out opposing offensive signals. Then you have the makings of a trap game if our guys aren't focused on both sides of the ball. I do think we'll manage a win but by the narrowest of margins. It'll be no cakewalk, imho.

 

[Maxmadden]

The Dallas offense is going to lean on you. This is the battle cry for 2017.It has been the game plan from day 1. Defense is gravy.

It will definitely be tough sledding, for sure, but, if I'm not mistaken, Demarcus Ware was a part of that group...so, I'd say that's a fairly significant change.

Also, as it turns out, the Cowboys were also in the bottom 5 of the league in terms of run defense, and I'd say with the addition of Jaylon and Paea, they have changed for the better.

I like Miller as a player, but I completely agree...that would be glorious.
