Can the Cowboys Put 60 On the Dolphins?

Dolphins ranked 32nd in almost every category including points for, points against, yardage, opponent yardage, turnovers, etc. their best RB averaging 2.3 yards a carry.

The Cowboys need to show a killer instinct and not play down to Dolphin level. I don’t ever recall the Cowboys scoring 60 in a game, I do remember 59.

If the Cowboys come out of the gate fast, they could control this game before the end of the 1st quarter. That would take the heart out of the Dolphins. They would have to be close to 60 before the end of the 3rd quarter when they sit the starters.....again, assuming they don’t decide to resurrect the Dolphins in one afternoon.

Don't think so. We'll probably just run out the clock with Pollard and maybe Jamie-O when the game is out of reach. Doubt Garrett will be calling a fake punt when up 35 points.

The Dolphins D was doing ok against Brady till Fitz threw a couple pick 6 and the flood gates opened.

Anything's possible. The morale on that Dolphin team has to be exceedingly low. They haven't even reached the "lets play for pride" stage, and honestly with the way the FO is seemingly deliberately tanking and starting fresh, I'm not sure they will.

I just want to the Cowboys to go in, take care of business and win without injury. Running up the score on a team like this is almost like kicking a sick puppy.

They could if they wanted to.

But will they? Very very likely not.

All I want is a W but Cowboys haters on social media will find a way to criticize no matter what.

They could do it, but Garrett would not allow it. I do think the Phin’s Offense will score more than usual due to the Marinelli prevent defense.

60? I'll be satisfied with 3-0 as long as Dallas wins.

I'm more with you on this. I'd be happy with a 30-7 or 14 score. I've already seen our Offense be just as effective against bad Defenses. I'd like to see our Defense show that they can be equally as dominant against inferior Offenses.

Garrett will not hang 60 on anyone. He will go conservative after putting up 30+ like he always does.

Lacks killer instinct like Belichick, Saban, Jimmy, etc.

Maybe but they won’t. This isn’t college where points count. They’ll pull most of their starters way before they get close to that number.

Even when we can potentially do something like that, we get conservative, run the ball a ton, and play backups if need be.

That's not a criticism, but it's the truth.

Dallas certainly could put a 60-burger on Miami, but the Cowboys have never been the type of team to willfully run up the score. They're not 2007 Belichick.

The last time I remember the Cowboys willfully piling up the score was when they were leading the Colts 35-0 in the last home game of the season in 2014 and Brandon Weeden threw a deep bomb to Terrance Williams for another touchdown to make it 42-0. That's still three touchdowns away from the sixty-burger, though.

Could they? Sure. Will they? No. Why not? Because once they get up 2 to 3 scores, they'll coast to the end like they usually do.

And what's going to be funny to me is all the fans asking whats wrong with the team because they didn't beat them as badly as the Patriots and Ravens did. Oh next week is going to be so much fun. Sarcasm off \\
