Can Dallas play to a standard instead of down to the opponent

TwistedL0g1k · Sep 14, 2019

Anyone remember that 1-15 season?
Guess who the one win was against.
This next game (Commanders) is still a division rivalry.
Always expect a tough game, no matter the supposed talent levels of the respective teams.

I think some of the reason why the Cowboys styled last Sunday was the fact they played their starters more in the preseason than most teams.

That should level out soon and we'll be back to the same crap.

Rival game, on the road, Washington needs a win as not to go 0-2 in the division.
It could be tougher than many think.

Then Dallas, has a chance to go 2-0 in the division so they will be fired up as well. But it could be closer than many think.

Cmon, you cant really believe that. Linehan was essentially running Garretts offense in the Garrett way. Conservative, predictable, boring, no creativity.

This year Jones demanded change with Moore and essentially said that his ideas HAD to implemented or he would see to personally that they were. It was all but telling Garrett to stay out of the way and let Moore do his thing.

At this point in the Garrett era he has never been more handcuffed in his role here. He has essentially been neutered from even the offensive side of the ball.

That offense and the way it was called looked nothing like anything we have seen here in Dallas since Garrett has been here.

Exactly..

We always do, so, probably.

So we're past game 1 vs a bad Giants, do you believe that we can continue to play at a high level or continue the old curse of "great game, praise then crash"

I saw this question on 24/7 and it made me uncomfortable.

Garrett teams always train/practice/play hard.

Giants personnel was awful. We came in and stomped them.

Mediots want to worry you. It gets them clicks but don't eat the cheese. Washington is a better team than NYG. If the team got up for a worse team. . . .

I hope dallas can. This has been one of my biggest gripes against Garret. His team is very rarely ever ready to play in the big games. Instead, like your wrote, Dallas plays down often.

I believe this is sarcasm. But not sure.

Maybe it's not about the team at all. When they win big, fans think it means something way more significant than it does (because one game means very little) and unreasonably raise their expectations, only to be disappointed when reality hits.

This rivalry is really wierd man. Born and raised in the DC metro...even though most are consenting that we have the better squad, for 3 hrs tomorrow..everything goes out the window. The game means a lot STILL.

Make no mistake about this. This is not the same old Cowboys. It hasn't been since Prescott's behind Center. I no longer have those expectations of failure when something goes a little bit backwards.

Whirlwin · Sep 14, 2019

Remember the old San Francisco 49ers they would script the first 20-25 plays. And change them no matter what. This franchise was never like that before they thought they could turn the light switch on and score whenever they wanted to. So when they were ahead they would take their foot off the gas and Coast with the running game. I don't know what Kellen Moore's going to do yet

tell me, how hard is it to go through life always being negative?

The pats play to a standard.

I think tomorrow’s game tells us a lot to be honest. It’s vs a team we should beat by at least 10-14 points. Yes it’s a division game.... and they can be close..... but a team like the pats would beat up on an inferior team.

I want to see this team keep the same intensity on the road. From the players to the play calling.

Win this game and we probably go into New Orleans 3-0.

lukin2006 · Sep 14, 2019

2 things. Unlike JG slow and methodical offensive play calling there was none of that against the Giants and we started out fast and put the hammer down by 1/2. This is how 90's team played.

You alarmist!
Every team feels as if they play up or down according to opponent.
If you feel uncomfortable there is a women's shelter near by.
Blimey! Maybe I should cut down on the Mountain Dew.

They saw what happened last yr when they sat the starters at least they didnt repeat the failure . Moore looks good, team looks more prepared than I can ever remember Daks off season looks like it has made a difference . He and Gallup on same page . Oline top 5 at this point running game looks good minus penalties . D needs to improve .

Garrett out of gameday equation required only to cheerlead = sucess .

We did it last week. I don't see any difference this week.

I agree but it seems like we struggle with our first road game every season.

It’s like the outdoors and sunshine cause us problems early on haha.

I’m also interested in seeing how all the presnap motion does in a loud environment.

Yes, that was our Superbowl game for that year.
and
I think it was even on Turkey Day...gobble, gobble.

Today, I think they will get our combo 1 - 2 punch (balance).
Keep them on their heels and stay aggressive.
The offensive pre snap movement will help us decide which punch they get (duck n weave).

Can Dallas play to a standard instead of down to the opponent
