Although I do miss Romo's experience playing in weather like this, Dak ain't no scrub either.

He grew up in the hurricane heartland. He's thrown a wet football before.
Yeah, I've seen Dak practice by pulling the football from a bucket of water and still making the completed pass. He can throw a wet ball.

Things to worry about for this game:
-Cold (Dallas is a warm weather team)
-Rain/Wet field
-Bill Belichick
-Our Defense (Mainly our LB's)
-Our running game
-Jason Garrett and Kellen Moore
-Rod and Richard

Forecast could change but currently is it AM rain early and snow showers. Regardless looks to be a chilly day with slippery field conditions.

40% chance of rain/snow

I think this helps the Patriots because we've been airing it out with great success pretty much all season & they rely on screens and short passes. Zeke is long overdue for a huge game & we have the tools to win this game - but just like with any team that beats the Patriots, we can't make very many mistakes & we'll have to put pressure on Brady. The Pats beat the Bills and Eagles - but their defenses gave Tom Brady absolute hell:

-Bills held him to 18 for 39, 150 yards, 0 TDs
-Eagles held him to 26 for 47, 216 yards, 0 TDs

Sidenote - the Giants secondary also allowed 0 TDs to Brady, even though he threw for 334 yards.

If our defense can give us the same effort that the Bills and Eagles game their offenses - there's no doubt we'll win this game.


That chance of rain/snow showers is in the morning. It will be dry by game time.

This is New England. It's way too soon to forecast rain with any degree of accuracy. They've been getting better at it, but they still sometimes get it completely wrong even the day before.
Lol yea, basically.

We won't know the weather at kickoff until kickoff.

Again, IF our coaching staff was truly doing their damn jobs, they would game plan just for the weather, snow, rain and scheme a plan to keep things close to home, no stupid AIR it all out garbage to hand over the ball via downs or INT's... play it safe and I to say we win... I have little to NO faith Garrett can scheme his butt out of a paper bag with a road map and a cutting tool...

Our D needs to step up. Our Oline needs to get some push and help Zeke gain yards consistently. Plus, Dak will need to protect the ball while our coaches call good plays, make proper adjustments and keep the team motivated and focused.
And the bartender needs to keep Jerry's glass full.

If we ever needed our run game, it would be this game...

Not only that, but they predicting a 60% chance it won't rain.

Cold and rain. I believe the Patriots will focus on stopping the run. Coverage is their strength and they will figure the forecast is to their advantage in the passing game.

This game is all on Dak to carry us. It’s time to see if he’s Elite enough to lead us to a championship.

They can't get their typical slow start because the second half adjustments will belong to Belichick.

Typical New England weather this time of the year but there is a saying in New England that if you don't like the weather to wait a minute, it'll change.
