I don't care about qbr....watch the games he is getting better each week.
Has accounted for 40 td's in his 23 game career and rushed for over 1000 yards so far. His passing ability is getting better.

their head coach's defense whipped Dallas back in 2015 on thanksgiving. Mostly because Romo should not have been playing but still.

Buffalos physical running game is a terrible matchup for Dallas.

as far as buffalo's wins....They have beat more teams with a winning record than Dallas has....ONE....the titans. Dallas has none.

Buffalo has not played a nationally televised game yet...everybody downplays everything they do or have done....this could very well be there coming out game.

They have some excellent defensive players no one talks about.

The Bills are a good team. Once the Cowboys are eliminated from the playoffs or are one and done, i'll be rooting for them. I have already adopted them this year as the team to root for.

Once you realize that this team is handicapped from a coaching perspective, it is much easier to take emotion out of the experience and just call it like it is.

Just watch the games..laugh at their ineptitude bc there will be plenty of that..once, if ever, this team gets a coaching staff worth getting invested in, then you can flip gears..

Coaching in this sport is far too important...you can't have a major disadvantage in that area and compete for a championship in this league..so you might as well stop thinking it's even a possibility w this staff

Just saw that Garrett doesn't use Win Probability during the game lol!

This guy is so inept at this point.

They have a great defense and Allen is about to set the record for rushing TD's by a QB in a season. He has more than the great Zeke.

They got blasted at home by Philadelphia not long ago. Their schedule has been very easy thus far. I know they have a great defense and running game. I just see a win against another also ran team. They are fairly evenly matched. Will like to see what Josh Allen looks like on center stage...

I don’t know what to expect Thursday night besides a good meal. If we were better coached I would be more optimistic.

I watched the skins and lions game yesterday and somehow came away less confident about the Boys...

They beat the Jets, the Giants, the Bengals, the Dolphins twice, the Commanders, the Broncos, and yes the 6-5 Titans (when Marcus Mariota was still QB and lost his job after that game). They lost to the Patriots, Eagles, and Browns. They are also rans like the Cowboys.

Suck it up, buttercup.

Enjoy the day with your family and just watch the game for what it is...a game.

Actually I will enjoy the day better without family. :laugh:
They interrupt my day of football.:lmao2:

No, if we do anything they know I will be watching football. We got so we don't have big family days for any holidays anymore. My ex wife may come over and make a small non traditional meal for our son and his wife and their son.

They are 8-3 and have an identity of being a bruising running team that has a good pass rush and plays excellent pass defense.

All of us wish Dallas was 8-3 and not 6-5.

I'm excited to see a team I rarely get to see play who is surprisingly decent and has an interesting young qb. Dallas will probably still win but it might be a competitive game. I'd rather see that than beating some wreck of a team like the Commanders.

All of what you said is true (and if the Cowboys had the same record it would be much more impressive than theirs considering the competition). They will not be beating the Patriots, Chiefs, or Ravens in the playoffs. They are also rans. Maybe they can go into Houston or Indy and grab a wildcard win.

most likely but they played new england really well and if allen hadn't been knocked out of the game maybe they win. They had the ball late to go and score and lost their qb.

I think they play baltimore in a few weeks so they will most likely get beat. As far as KC goes, its Andy Reid. He blows playoff games all the time and the buffalo head coach should know reid very well having been on his staff in philadelphia.

Having a running game and good pass defense can steal you a game in January. Clearly The chiefs, raven and pats are the better teams.

So basically we're going to get destroyed on every level. Running will outmatch the defense and their defense will make our offense crumble.


What a great thanksgiving matchup.

Enjoy your family and don't let the game ruin your day. Don't sit through it if it's crap. Go get more turkey, talk to your favorite cousin about life and cars then fall asleep.

A friend wanted to get tickets for this game earlier in the season. But the mark up way too high. We tried to get some for the Giants game, but we have a specific area we want to sit in.
Where I had my season season before I sold (dumped) them. Which I never regretted.

Told him not worth spending money on them now unless they get incredibly cheap. Like half the face value. :laugh:
