Anyone Think We Beat Seattle?

[RunDMC]

Seattle's losses are to:

Cincinnati (6-0)
Green Bay (6-0)
Carolina (6-0)

St. Louis. (divisional rival who always plays them tough. Like the Skins do when we play them).

We certainly are not nearly as good as the first three. With Romo and Dez out, I'm not sure we are as good as St. Louis.

We will not beat Seattle.

Haha love the excuses. A healthy Seahawks team has lost four games just as many as a severely undermanned Dallas team.

Who cares what the record is of their opponents? Good teams win games against good competition

Seattle isn't a good football team.

The Giants sold out to stop the run, didn't work out real well for them.

I think Seattle is a better football team than the Giants and more physical.

So are you putting money on the Cowboys to win this game?

 

[RunDMC]

I don't bet.

I never even said they would win. I just think it's hilarious how people act like Dallas has no chance against a team with the same number of losses as them.

 

[MrPhil]

Neither are we.



Can we win? Sure..


If I were forced to bet money then I am taking Seattle.

This sums up my feelings perfectly. In fact, I was going to post basically the exact same thing until I saw this. Instead you get a like and repost.

Of course they have a chance, I also have a chance at winning the lottery, doesn't mean that either is likely to happen. You're too focused on the records and not looking at the teams. Seattle is a superior team than this current Cowboys team, and that is not debatable.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Even with their pedestrian receivers as well as the bus driving gee-hadist they are still the better team. Odds of winning 33%.

Wait so now teams aren't what their record is? Since when?

It absolutely is debatable. You people act like the Cowboys have lost to terrible teams. New England is undefeated, Atlanta only has one loss, and despite how flawed the Giants are they are currently over .500, and even New Orleans is on a win streak.

Hey you're convinced, and there's nothing wrong with that, but you will be eating your words come Sunday.

 

[NextGenBoys]

You kidding me? No chance against that secondary with our QB and WRs.

2-5 here we come.

Yeah that secondary has just been lighting it up.

I mean they let a team with one of the worst recieving corps in the league match right down the field and score a touchdown in less than a minute.

Yeah we have no chance.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

The way the offensive line looked today gives me hope. La'El clearly gave us a spark and boy those three All Pros from last year played like it. Frederick and Martin in particular and especially on the goal line. They looked like the offensive line we saw last year. Blowing guys off the ball and the line of scrimmage. Sustaining blocks. Getting to the second level. They adjusted the scheme which I thought helped because I believe we're better as a power running team and not as good at zone running. At least not this year.

Let's be honest they will face a much bigger test next week up front against Seattle. All though they haven't been quite as disruptive up front and they've had some miscommunications in the secondary and big plays given up particularly in the fourth quarter as a result. Think we have to see more Christine Michael. As much as I loved seeing McFadden ran like he did the guy isn't gonna last if we keep running him 30 times. Needs to be more balance within the run game and hopefully Randle can play because he looked good to start before hurting the back.

Defensively we're facing another weak offensive line. Much like the Giants they're vulnerable in the middle of that line because they haven't adequately replaced Max Unger who I thought was their best linemen. Containing Russell is always key. Lynch got going. He's been dealing with a hamstring, but the Giants really pounded us early. Rolando McClain needs to take on and defeat blocks better. With the lack of gurth up front he has to be able to shed blocks, attack, fill holes, and bring Lynch to the ground. Byron Jones has been superb matching up against tight ends and I see zero reason to believe he can't do the job against Jimmy Graham. It'll be a fantastic matchup between two freaks of nature.

As disgusted as I am with this team right now there were some good signs. Already touched on the ground game, but the recievers showed signs of life. Brice Butler with his size made some tough catches and would like to see him utilized more on the goal line. Take advantage of his size and strength. Terrance was pathetic on the comeback route, but we got him a deep drag route down the field and I feel that's when he's at his best. Catching the ball on the move and please no timing patterns with this dude. Getting zilch from Beasley right now. Did a good job using Whitehead on some reverses. Let's see what he can do as a reciever. Hasn't really gotten that opportunity yet.

Matt Cassel made some really nice throws. Fit the ball into some tight Windows. Escaped the pocket. That throw in the corner of the end zone to Street was perfect. He definitely made throws Weeden couldn't. The turnovers cannot happen. The first I don't put on him. I like the taking shots, but you have to confine yourself and not be reckless. Terrance had his man beat, but he was late and just didn't really see the field particularly well. Forcing it into double coverage. Just have to cut that out. Take shots when they're there. Seattle has struggled in the middle of field and defending it. Outside of Wagner the rest of their backers can be exploited in coverage. I expect a big day from Witten. To me there's a fine line between taking calculated risks and just being dumb and making dumb decisions. You can't play scared, but as a quarterback you have to find that fine line between not being conservative, but not being reckless either. If one of your recievers is turned loose down the field I think you have to let it rip, but you can't be late and can't stare down recievers and telegraph. Not in this league.

Seattle is clearly not the same team. Russel Wilson has basically been a one man show at times this year. Graham has gotten going a bit the last few games, but he hasn't had the impact many anticipated. Their recievers still struggle to get seperation if you don't allow them to get the run game cranked up and keep Wilson in the pocket. The Cowboys had a great defensive game plan last year. Played stout man coverage and plastered their recievers, rushers were disciplined, didn't allow Lynch to break many tackles, really good job gang tackling him, stayed in our gaps, got off blocks, were disciplined in pursuit, and didn't allow their offensive line to stone wall our backers like we did today. That needs to be duplicated. If it is we give ourselves a chance.

we will beat them when gasoline go to $1.O1 9/10 a gallon und Oprah become good looking

Seattle isn't a good football team.

And you just look at their record and decide their not a good team. Simplistic to say the least. They should have beaten both Cincinnati and Carolina.

Who they play matters, Had they lost to Tampa, Detroit, Jacksonville and Houston, you'd might have a point. But you don't.

 

[NextGenBoys]

I'm not talking about how they played vs other teams. I'm talking about how we match up with them.

It's not good.

With the possible exception of Atlanta, Seattle is better than anybody the Cowboys have played so far this year.

They're not better than New England, but I agree with you.

 

[Alexander]

Better pass rush. Better secondary than anyone we have faced, even with their big play errors that cost them against Cincinnati and Seattle (allowing Eifert and Olsen to roam free down the seam). Their physical corners will make Williams and Beasley even more invisible than they already have been.

About the only shot is to sack Wilson relentlessly and force turnovers, because we are not going to score much.

 

[RS12]

Anyone Think We Beat Seattle?

Nope. Cassel likely more turnovers versus Seattle.

 

[Direwolf63]

Of course. Forgot about them.

Our only advantage is our d-line vs. their o-line. But it won't be enough. This team can't cause turnovers to save their lives.
