If Dallas beats Rams, it will be because of the defense

I think Dallas can win if our Defense can keep the Rams under 20, maybe 23.
Then our offense just has to score enough to win.
That is how they beat the saints, holding them to just 10 points.

It also means our offense cant have turnovers in our end of field, and no long fg trys by jg that give Rams
short field.
Make them drive for any points they get, and then on offense try to drive enough to dominate TOP.
Which keeps the Ram offense on the bench.

The defense can win the game if our offense or JG doesn't give the rams a short field. and easy points.
 
we couldn't keep the seahawks under 20 and still won...are you saying if the rams score 20 we would lose?

You mean we won't win a shootout?

Why is that? What do we lack for that to be the case? I'll say his name if you won't.

cowboys are capable of slinging the ball around. the plays just have to be called. they have shown that multiple times this year.

helps that the cowboys were only in 1 game where they needed to score more than 30 points to win.

Keep the Rams at 24 or less and I like our chances. Dallas needs to play keep away from their offense and I hope Gurley struggles on that knee :thumbup:
 
I know that wherever the game goes that Dallas will find a way to win. Dak has ice water in his veins. If a throw is needed he will make it. If a run is needed he will make it. I know that he will bleed out to win this game.
 
This is a defense,and rushing type of game for Dallas if there ever was one. Playoff night game on the road,outdoors on a wet field.

With no Zeke, no Zack Martin, no Tyron Smith and other players held out, Dak carried the team to a 36 - 35 win away from home against a Giants team that started and played all of their starters all 4 quarters.
 
As in every game, especially like this one,, we need to get key turnovers...
Sure to get several "duh" responses....
Turnovers in our favor will be the key to victory sat night.

Target Gurley's knees/ankles early and often the way the Seahags targeted our players last week.

Force Goodell to eat some crow since he allows such dirty play!!!
 
The biggest misception in this sport is that a Quarterback has to be a big play offensive weapon to be considered among the best. i.e. Manning. That sounds to me like it's just saying that....... a team with the best offense is always going to produce the best QBs as a result. The Colts implemented Manning like that for 10 years and they have one championship. Dak is just not gonna be used like that this year. He's not asked to, or allowed to if we feel like it's too risky to play like that. In years where our defense won't be as good, and our running game for whatever reason lags.... Dak is going to be passing a lot more, and he'll get 4500 passing yards a year and people are going to have a new tune to sing. Dak doesn't have 4500 passing yards simply because our strengths are in the other units this year. Could be completely different next year.

Long clock chewing methodical drives is the same strategy used in 2014 to keep our defense from being overly exposed. Now we are going to do the same thing except it's so the defense can win the game?:huh:
