True. But the problem with that is they will control the clock. We will need to score every time we have the ball. And TD's, not settling for FG's.
Our defense will need to make some stops though. Can they?

I think they will. Sometimes being humbled is a good thing.

Today will mark Lamar Jackson’s first trip to AT&T Stadium since April 26, 2018, when he attended the draft in Dallas and the Ravens used the 32nd overall pick in the first round to select him.

Jackson also has a personal tie to Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. While Prescott was attending Mississippi State, he hosted Jackson on his recruiting visit. Jackson did not choose Mississippi State and opted instead for Louisville.

Met Prescott. Chose Louisville.

Where the rubber meets the road type game.

Lose and you’re 1-2 going on the road in the division and not looking too great and could easily start to flounder.

Win and you’re most likely 3-1 in the first quarter which is pretty good.

Somehow you see that as normal I mean what is wrong with the fan base if you think that that's the way a team was built in all three phases you know offense defense special teams do you know what defense actually means it does not mean an offense it feels so under pressure that's the score touchdown every time they have the ball I mean that is insane that this fan base has settled for that being normal when we watch a game where I don't know The Jets only give up three points in the first half their offense only had to score 14 points the game was over but yeah they scored a little bit more in the second-half but their defense only gave up three points and in the playoff game last year when we watched the Ravens and the chiefs and you look at the way the Ravens defense held the chiefs to no points in the second-half I believe they gave their team a chance even though Lamar Jackson couldn't get it done...


You can't win football games being 1 dimensional and I mean one-dimensional I mean expecting your offensive score in every down and your defense almost making no stops scoring on every single drive is almost unheard of and you're saying all touchdowns I mean this place is insane that that is the expectation now put our quarterback in our offense that hey don't worry about it special teams don't make something big happen don't worry about defense our offense has got your back we'll just score on every down almost like we did in the Seattle game last year that is a recipe for disaster and that's a bad team that is an absolutely horrible game plan.. It makes no sense it's it's insane I watch other teams keep games close scores are closed they don't expect their offense to score on every drive they need to make more stops on defense that's what they need to do they need to get this offense a chance and hold this team at least under 20 points that's normal some of the best defenses to ever play NFL football has held their teams historically under 13 points and the Ravens defense from back in the day they held their entire year including the playoffs teams under 11 points can you not let that settle in a little bit they were asking our team it was by the way our office both halves of these first two games have been very efficient and normal our defense sucked balls in the last two home games giving up 92 points and this is what we come up with hey we need to score touchdowns on every single time we have a series., how many opportunities you think we're gonna get on offense I'm thinking they'll probably get the ball at least seven times I mean there's seven series in the game in that about average so now you're saying we have to score 40 points to win a game that's what you're putting on our offense let's just say for the sake it's 5 drive, a a touchdown on 5 drives is 35, and you're saying they need to score on every drive a touchdown so that's what this team has become the fan base expects our offense to have to score 35 to 40 points to win every game that's insane say it out loud that is not how the NFL is supposed to work that is not how football is supposed to work but that's now what you're putting on our office that's the problem with people what they do to our offense and our quarterback saying that's what should've happened score on every drive!!....:mad::mad::mad::mad::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::popcorn::espn::oldcouple:o_O.

Dude that's just wrong we usually get along around here but that expectation the offense has to score touchdowns on every single series is insane how about this the defense absolutely needs to keep the score under 20 that would be normal for a defense that would be a good defense that would be a solid defense it would be nice for once if our offense wasn't asked to score 30 points to win a game... You're basically drawing up a picture of how we beat Seattle last year that's an anomaly you cannot do that you not sustain that you cannot expect an offense to have to do that the defense must keep the score down low that's what good defenses do the best defense is to ever play football has kept teams under 13 points a game and the very best captain score under 11 points Can you imagine that how easy it was for some of these old era quarterbacks that everyone brags that how good they were but they were in a different year and it was tough no they also had great run games and great defense we have neither..

I mean that's the other problem we don't even have a good enough run game to not be one-dimensional you want us to score and be efficient and score touchdowns on every series in order to win a game and we don't even have a good run game I mean literally you're asking Prescott to carry this team by himself and that's insane and where's all the other production coming from outside of CD lamb 'cause right now I am first two games I don't see much right now this offense is being obliterated by conservative vanilla play calling no run game and **** and dunk nonsense we're not gonna score a lot doing that either but for what it needs to start on defense stop putting us behind 3 scores before we blink and maybe we can keep in a game because Prescott at least kept us with eight points before Brooke slip down and 'cause that interception we were gonna be able to at least try and hang in this game long enough to possibly come back but our defense go back and our offense is 1 dimensional the test is not gonna happen so it has to start on defense....

Is it just me or is overall interest in the Dallas Cowboys at an all-time low? Never seen the board this dead during the reg season.

Anyways, I see a hard fought loss today being the most likely outcome. Dallas will want to prove critics wrong after last week and will play well for the most part. But the Ravens will want it more.

26-23 Ravens

I don’t think it’s just you.

I used to plan my Sunday around when the Cowboys play. I’ve gotten so run down from spending that time every week to be “entertained” in something disappointing year after year.

Now, my Sunday is planned around golf with the kids. If the Cowboys work into the schedule; fine. If not, it doesn’t bother me. I’ll check the score online and move on with my day.

Back to the prediction : Ravens win.

We fall to 1-2.
