I have Cousins, London and Mooney on my fantasy team and I'm starting all of them vs Dallas. No pass rush vs Cousins is asking to get lit up. Also, the CB opposite Diggs is weak and Diggs is vulnerable too. Big game for Falcons, Cowboys go 3-5.
You gonna be heated when they run Bijan 40 times lol

I'm going to be looking at Trevon. May be a lot of chasing after the catch and avoiding the RBs. Put up or shut up time for Trevon.
Atlanta has an amazing running game. It’s not going to get any easier for the Dallas DBs.

The Cowboys should rightly be competitive vs. the Falcons although we'll likely find their offense more than our defense can handle. I expect much the same results from our offense vs. their defense, with their defense being unable to control our offense as well as they'd like to. This game will be one that the Cowboys will have all they can do to battle them on the playing field to come up with an advantage. We must avoid penalties.

Mistakes will be something that Dak can ill afford to make, just as the same goes for Cousins, but to a lesser degree. We currently aren't capable of mounting a very good case for pressuring opposing QBs. Hopefully, Zimmer will create ways to get the most pressure possible from his defense.
Kirk can may a mistake, outside of a Pick 6.....Dak's margin for error is 0 just to ensure we in a shootout or matching scores. It ain't gonna happen.....Falcon coaches already know what we're going to try, can't try or can't do
I honestly don't think Dak with 0 interceptions and 3 TDs is enough. And we'll read the same on this board, come Monday. Call it what you want, Jerry has set this team up to fail, and you've been hoodwinked into thinking it's just Dak. Call me a Dak lover, it won't change the fact this team has more holes than the little Dutch boy, Hans Brinker could save now, much less Holland.

Pitts doesn't scare me. No reason to over hype him, they have much more dangerous weapons than him.

Robinson & Allgeier have over 900 yards combined on the ground and Zimm may sell out the farm to stop the run but then Cousins can sling it up top to a pretty fair TE in Pitts. Visions of Kittle beating safety coverage .

All evidence points to 3-5 headed home for Eagles unless this defense gets some stops .

The offense ? Who knows what to expect .

This is not your fathers Arthur Smith Falcons .
this is going to be another blow out...and can't wait to see Jerry's face.

I’m thinking the Falcons offense will blitz the Dallas defense with talented players at RB, WR and TE…and Dak will not impress playing from behind, forcing inaccurate throws only to be picked off; without the run game to slow the pass rush I see him under duress as well.
I think this is a big game for Dallas given the Eagles are next on the schedule…and Dallas cannot recover from 3-6.

In a year when the defense suspect to begin with now hobbled by a number of injuries , Dallas really needed the Offense to be a scoring machine and keep pressure on the opposition .

That would have been some road to perhaps 5-2 at this point . The $$ on two offensive players alone in a cap league dictates offensive competence.

if you look at the OL with 2 rookies plus a RB room empty of a home run hitter has had a cascading effect on the passing game and the entire unit . I like Beebe & Guyton still like the picks it’s Steele and the running back talent that needs a 2025 overhaul . Dak going nowhere .

Nobody has hoodwinked me into anything about Dak being mainly responsible for this team's woes. In fact, Jerry is responsible more than Dak and he would like nothing better than to place the blame on anyone other than himself. This team has more problems right now than it can handle to make the most of their chances to put forth winning efforts. Yet, I'm hoping for good luck to be the wind at our backs. We're due for some.

Recently, Dak has taken more than his share of the blame, but what Jerry failed to do in the offseason put him at the forefront of the blame for this team's woes, imho. I see Cousins as our main threat to win this game over us. We currently have little to no pass rush going for us and that, in itself is highly problematical. We'll likely be hard pressed to pull off a win. Our players are down lately. Let's hope they snap out of it.

Teams get to pick which way they want to beat us at this point. Do they want to run all over us, have a balanced attack or have 5 seconds to throw the ball.

Doubt we win but if we do it means nothing. Just another week for Jerry to claim we are still contenders which we aren't.

I watched the Falcons a couple of times this year and they can run block better than most teams. I expect them to run the football and match Kyle Pitts on Donovan Wilson when they need a first down or a big play. But I will be shocked if Dallas holds Atlanta under 200 yards rushing in this game.

On the other side of the ball, am I reading this right? Atlanta has only 6 sacks all year? If that stat is correct, there is hope for the Cowboys offense this week.

Falcons want revenge for the on-side kick game.
Just like Detroit wanted revenge for the game they tried to cheat in.

I can see Dallas winning this one. Because, is Atlanta as good as their record indicates?
Of what I seen them play this season, I am not real impressed other than Robinson at RB.
However, I will not be surprised if we lose by 10 to 14 points.

This is not your fathers Arthur Smith Falcons .

You can't leave out Drake London or Mooney who are both killing it.

They have more than 3 too worry about for sure.

Ill at least give the Cowboys a punchers chance in this one, but they really need Parsons and Bland to return this week...and play at a high level.
I'll guess 27 - 20 Falcons win but a more competitive game than we've seen recently.
With no supporting analysis, or particular reasons I got Dallas winning this.

Pitts isn't kittle. You should worry more about Mooney and London.
It all starts with pass rush, hopefully the tackles are not as good as SF , our pass rush needs to get home and rattle cousins , otherwise with their run game cousins will have a career day
