3-0 will feel like a loss.
But it's still a win. I just want a solid performance and the boys will win easily.

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.
I remember hoping the boys could put up 24.35-40 is about all were going to do.
It’d be great for my fantasy team if they did - but we all know that Garrett calls off the dogs after they get up by two touchdowns.
I expect to see a lot of Tony Pollard in this game.
The Pats put 43 with the defense scoring a couple times. Our offense is not better than the Pats and out defense isnt even close!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.

Oh yeah. That was the last two years.
Love how Dak has committed himself to coaching and has made significant changes to his release, footwork and reads. Much better playcalling and a few cupcakes early on the schedule don't hurt either.
Pre season is a joke. I love having a cupcake schedule early. It allows the boys to work out some details under live conditions. This season may be the perfect storm. Health will be the key over the long run.
23 years... been a long time.

I hope so, if we can get a W without overstretching ourselves and by playing some back ups then that is a very good week.We will get a good look at Pollard. And Smith and Wilson.
*Ya , those are some obvious points to ponder( kinda' like that non-ball control bad ju-ju, I'd wizardly hexed them buffalo bills with in S.B.#27,,, ) as it quickly evolved into a self-perpetuating Feeding Frenzy once it's infectious capabilities spread amongst our "take away" players,,,If it happened to be 35-0 halfway through the 2nd quarter, how do you slam on the brakes?
If it is halfway through the 3rd quarter, 49-0, Zeke is benched but Pollard breaks through the line and there is nothing but daylight is he going to drop to the ground? If a pass floats into the hands of a backup CB and he has a clear shot to the end zone is he just going to slap the ball down?
I’m not saying the Cowboy should deliberately run up the score but you have a lot of quality backups itching to prove themselves when given the opportunity.
These type of situations are like feeding a tank full of piranhas. One takes a bite, another takes a bite, suddenly it’s a feeding frenzy.
In Super Bowl 27. The Cowboys should have scored 59 but Leon Lett lost focus and the ball was slapped out of his hands. They weren’t trying to run up the score but if the opportunity presents itself, no player is going to pass up an opportunity to shine.
Of course I realize we are talking about the Cowboys and it probably will go down as too close for comfort but I still think the potential exists for a college type blowout. We shall see.
