Cowboys vs. Patriots

[Doomsday101]

What really blew me away was the fact that the scouted the REFS and called plays based on how REFS called various penalties.

True but I will say I look forward to playing them. It is easy to see few here give the Cowboys a snowball chance in hell of winning but I look forward to that game. Meantime Cowboys have much work ahead of them coming out of the bye and that is where this team focus needs to be.

I actually don't think they will blow us out---but more like the GB game, where they jump out to a big lead, we struggle to come back and fall just short.

How do you guys think we match up against the Patriots, player vs. player. This isn’t about coaching. This thread is only about our personnel vs their personnel.

That's like saying were going to discuss the impact of Farrah Fawcett but only her acting abilities with no mention of her other assets.

Physically, the Patriots roster does not wow me, but their players execute better than anybody else.

Their WRs look really good now with Sanu added to Josh Gordon and Edelman; although, Gordon missed this weeks game due to an injury from the previous week.

I expect Dallas to go out and win it. I never take any game for granted but I also never concede a game. Cowboys have the talent to go out and win it falls to the players and coaches to get it done.

Some of you think you have a better roster that the Patriots?

maybe a few/handful of guys are "better", here and there, but, really So what?

Don't mean jack squat if you don't know how to use that talent over the long term

Cowboys players > Pats players
Pats coaches >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cowboys coaches

Either Dak has to be at his best in deciphering what the Patriots are doing or we go no-huddle and limit what they can scheme on D.

I vote no-huddle.

Teams that beat the Patriots don't lose to the Jets...

Let's slow down and see if we can beat the Vikes, Bills, or the Lions first.

Then we'll talk Pats

We play murders row, after the Giants, so it will be interesting.

I agree. Pats are very detailed oriented. I see nothing they do that is mid blowing, it is pretty basic stuff the Pats run on offense but they do it to perfection more times than not. They do not beat themselves with silly mistakes and as Jimmy Johnson once said winning is not always about who made the most plays it is who made the fewest mistakes. Drive killing penalties or sacks, turnover so often it is those issues that will hurt a team and that is something NE avoids.

The Cowboys in the 90 were very disciplined the Cowboys this year remind me of those Wade Phillips teams that were so talented but so damn undisciplined!

Jason Garret is better than Belichek at....clapping.

I'm not seeing this major talent advantage either. I'm in the NE market and watch them most every week.

Has it been mentioned that the Pats lost their starting center before the season. Their left tackle right out of the gate and their right tackle? Not to mention no Gronk.

Far fewer injuries are said to be the cause of the Cowboys struggles yet the Pats have managed to struggle to an undefeated record.

Why isn't coaching part of the equation? It certainly is during the game...

Pats made Jets look like a Junior College team. And yet we have the Jets and that cesspool a win. We did what we needed against Wince and the Iggles.

Can we sustain against the Giant’s and Saquon coming off a BYE?

We should! But we’ve seen a negative response off the BYE for awhile. We’ll see!

I'm sure they'll bring their A game against the Cowboys because that game will be like their Super Bowl.

 

[CouchCoach]

The Cowboys do not stack up against some other teams much less the best coached team in the league.

You cannot separate the coaching from the talent because Belichick's coaching maximizes his players' talent and they play as a team better than any other team.

 

[landryscorner]

Not happening you and the NFL wish the patriots cowboys superbowl can cure their empty stadium seats but the patriots will be deep in the playoffs and probably win it all this year again and even if we did play them (wish we won't) they would demolish the cowboys.

Odds this gets flexed to 830 on SNF?

I thought the the networks got protect a number of games from being swapped to SNF. No way this one gets let go.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Cowboys lose to winning teams ,

how do we stack up to the winningest team ? ... without coaching ?

 

[BleedinBlue]

Cowboys need to score on the 1st drive because it will be the 2nd half before they get the ball back. Mediocre teams put up 8 min. drives on this D. Brady will dink and dunk the whole game.
