Good morning all!

I trust you've had a fruitful yet thoughtful holiday season up to this point. These are the times to gather together with a good cup of egg nog and share sweet nothings in front of the fire. We all hum the holiday tunes from Nat King Cole, Kenny Rogers, Johnny Mathis, Elvis (Presley), and Adam Sandler. We watch the classics like the Gritch that Stole Christmas, Charlie Brown's Great Christmas, First Blood, A Christmas Story, and, my favorite, Ernest Saves Christmas. These are the times my friends.

The unfortunate part is that the outcome of this Sunday's affair may have you down in the bah humbug dumps after the Pewter Pirates raise the red flags in victory at the Port of Dallas. The red and pewter hues will grace the streets of Irving and El Paso, cannon fire will be heard as far as the Mississippi River. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life it will be.

As the Buccanneers continue building their foundation of talent, skills, and talent, be not dismayed by our "record" or power ranking. This is all part of the plan to return the pirate ship to the Sea of Tranquility.

Below you will see my breakdown of matchups and analyzations. I look forward to a discussion via communication;

What? The Tampa Bay Bucanneers (Super Bowl Champs, winners of divisional titles, and countless NFL League contests, Mike Alstott, etc.) vs. cowboys
When? Sunday, December 23, 2018
Where? Irving, Texas (capacity: over 10,000 est.)
Why? To decide, once and for all, who is America's Team.
Announcers? Yes
Weather Outlook? weather.com

When the Buccs have the Ball:

A national champion, the #1 overall pick in the draft, Jameis Winston has shown consistently what type of player he is to the NFL league on a weekly basis. There has been no shortage of wow plays. If Dallas has a chance this game, it would be if, and only if, they can pressure Winston into an eel-advised play like an interception. We all know Jameis doesn't turn the ball over unless a blatant penalty is not called (which has happened more than I'd like to admit). Peyton Barber plays RB and continues to get positive yardage week in and week out.

The Cowboys defense is suspect at several levels. Their linebackers are young and inexperienced. The secondary continues to rue the day Deion left the doors. The defensive line has shown coverage inadequacies. I do like Rod Merrinelly though. He's really coming into his own. I

When the Cowboys play defense:

Leighton Van Esch. I read about this player this week. Reminds me a ton of Cato June (superstar LB). His focus on the ball, his tackling ability, and his knack for playing defense. Cato was ruthless like a wild duckbill platypus. He sniffed out his prey and pounced in an instant! You should keep Leighton on the team.

Mike Evans' consistency as the #1 WR in all of the league is on display this week to the captive Dallas audience. It would not surprise me to see him triple covered on passing downs. Look for Dallas to cover him when he's on the field. Cameron Brate is a rich man's Jason Witten. I bring him up since he was a Cowboys and you know of his skill set. What Cameron does have on Jason is age and durability. Witten has yet to play this year and it has visibly hurt the production of the Dallas offense. Garrett and Wilson should look to replace him at the offseason (which is nigh).

Summarization:

The talent of the Red and Pewter is just too stacked to jump over. I look for the Bucs to assert dominance right after the kickoff in a low scoring affair.

Final Score:

Champs 24
'Boys 12

Box Stats:

Prescott - 12/26, 111 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs, 1 Pick
Elliott - 19 rush, 41 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT
Bryant - 4 rec., 59 yards, 1 TD, 1 rush, 20 yards, 2 catch, 62 yards.
Witten - NC/NS

Winston - 21/23, 398 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT (typical PI no-call by refs)
Barber - 27 rush, 132 yards, 2 TDs, 0 pass attempts
Evans - 12 rec. 112 yards, 2 TDs
Brate - 6 rec., 68 yards, 0 TD

I feel 111 yards for Dak is terrible.

No way he throws for 111

CowboysZone ULTIMATE Fan
5 Times SB champs and 8 Times NFC Champs, and a hell of a lot more divisional titles far more team wins and winning % vs. 1 Time SB champs in our house.

I like our odds of winning this one.
:D

How can Elliott score 2 TD and Bryant (???) score 1 TD and we only end up with 12 points?

Elliott with an INT is also very interesting.

And the Buccs miss all 4 extra points to score 24 points on 4 TDs? :lmao2:

I am aware of the Cowboys weaknesses and their ability to lose to anyone, even the Bucs this week. It's the narrative on the Bucs and Jameis Winston that has me thinking of the Mandela effect.

Well, I hope you and your 10K posse luck at Irving on Sunday, because you will be looking at a vacant lot.

Wow that was about as slanted as one can write up a matchup preview
