I thought he would have let that pride show after getting blasted the week before. Still only managed 40+ yards against a bad lions team. That's what has me worried about he and the run game.
Confidence. He seems to have lost it. Hesitating needs to get his instincts back. I am not a Elliott fan. But he's not as bad as people would like to make him out to be. Prescott's better than people would make him out to be. Dilemma of being a Cowboy fan

I'm just frustrated apologies. We're better than what I record says

There are actually fans of other teams and talking heads that are frustrated with the cowboys because they are this talented confusing team that beat themselves, or the coaches are clueless on how to maximize the talent.

I was just on a Patriots forum and they are not only admitting that Dallas has the best talent in the league, but are baffled on what cowboys team will show up.

We got 3 cold outdoor games and we suck in the cold but we have to win at least one and this is as good as any .

Dak must have called runs time to pull the stops out . Dak needs 60 rush yrds in this game .

LBs must start tackling , This defense has to be physical with Brady and take the penalty if necessary . Pats have nothing if he is off his game and the only way to do it is hit him at all cost Eagles proved this yesterday .

Absolutely cant turn the ball over Pats are talent poor and this is what they live off of others mistakes .
We must refuse to be beaten by Edelman and make him pay dearly for every catch .
I dont want to see a lot of penalties but lets make the ones we get count for something . We need to strike fear in Edelman and Brady
WE ABSOLUTELY MUST LEARN HOW TO DEFEND AND EXECUTE A SCREEN PASS!!! before this game . Look what happened when we tried one against the Lions with Zeke could catch the whole league by suprise
Defense as a whole needs to step up to last years level
Zeke needs to abstain from what ever is making the iron in his blood turn to lead in his ***
Oline needs to be top 5 like every other game to give us a chance .

If all this transpires it gives us a punchers chance to overcome our coaching and escape Siberia with a win IMO.

The Eagles were at home, for one thing. But I also think they match up better defensively against the NE offense. We'll see.

In my mind, the key to victory is, what does Garrett do when we have 4th-and-three at the Patriots' 45 yard line in the 2nd quarter? And what does he do when we have 4th-and-1 at the Patriots' 8 yard line? Unfortunately, I'm 99% sure I know the answer to those questions.
I have a co-worker who's a die hard Pats fan (in New England? Imagine that!), and he's pretty knowledgeable. He's actually worried about their passing game, because A) Brady isn't particularly mobile, and our DL can bring it, and B) Brady can't get rid of the ball as quickly lately because he doesn't have the same type of relationship he's used to. Apparently it's kind of a revolving door with them these days. Also, no Gronk.

The Pats offense simply isn't very good this year. But I'm very worried about the running game (which we can't stop from anyone) and passes to the RBs (and Edelman) underneath. You would think our LBs would be the answer to all this and maybe they are, but somehow I'm not at all confident.

Dak just blew up NE's game plan. Bill was going to follow the blueprints of four other opponents, who chose to shutdown 21. They won by letting Dak and the remaining team implode.

But with some monster games under his belt, Dak doesn't seem like an obvious choice anymore.

You have no idea what Bill is, was, or gonna do.

The one's that will be behind 21 - 0 in the first quarter.

Can't remember the last time Brady had 2 bad games in a row. The fact he's pissed and playing at home is cause for concern.

Yeah, the run defense has been atrocious. I don't know if they've been practicing tackling on these

but they need to get their crap together now.

On the Fan today, K&C stated "if EzE was on that Pollard TD pass, EzE wouldn't have made it to the outside."

So when did he lose that step? Think he knew, which prompted the holdout? Think it had anything to do with the “mentoring” of a known Cowboyhater, just opportunistic greed, or a little of both?

The guy still has to practice every week.....so, why aren't they getting on his arse saying "21 we already have a FB, we don't need a $90 million dollar one too."

Pats are very beatable if the Eagles were full strength they would have won easily . This is a winnable game for us if we play it right . Make them defend a running QB and knock theres to the ground early and often .
We can do both of these things with very little involvement from Garrett

$90 million FB! It’s like he’s trying to change his style to LeVeon Bell or something, which doesn’t seem to fit the blocking scheme.

The problem is the defense is hott garbage. We gave up 27 yes 27 points to the lions without Stafford. Let that sink in.

So WHY is the defense getting gouged so much? WHY can’t we get off the field on third down? We have 5 or 6 guys on defense who are above average—it’s GOTTA be the scheme! We have the NFL’s #1 offense, but if we don’t fix this, we’re going NOWHERE!
