Are we ready to play Atlanta? Can Wade get the team focused on Atlanta instead of whose starting at WR? Zoners do you think we are ready to play? I'm a little worried..

we sure had better be ready after 2 weeks to prepare and get focused. Nothing the Falcons do should cause us to burn timeouts. We should be drilled and ready to go, recognise their formations and know their tendancies.

Fans focus on which WR is starting. Good teams don't. If this is not a good team then it may be a problem. I don't see the big deal. It is not as if Crayton won't see the field at all. I am sure on Monday people will be complaining about how many 2 WR sets Dallas ran.

We can definitely beat Atlanta.

The only team that has beaten the Dallas Cowboys this year is the Dallas Cowboys. As long as we keep the mistakes to a minimum, we can beat any team in the league.

Can Dallas beat Atlanta?Yes I believe so,but only if Dallas plays a clean game.If they can cut out the penalties and eliminate the turnovers or even create a few for once they should be in good shape.

If Tony and Flozell dont go into their "Tony Turnover" and "False Start Flozell" alter ego, we can move the ball on that defense. They're average at best.

Atlanta is part of the middle 15 just as Dallas is. Meaning they've shown they're as beatable as Dallas is.

They're not in the elite class, so Dallas doesn't have to play a perfect game. However, Dallas does have to play better to at least make it easier on themselves.

You're right... Dallas should be able to move the ball on our Defense....

But... Our offense will DEFINITELY move the ball and we actually score when we get in the red zone...

it all comes down to protecting the ball. If we have zero turnovers. I'm guaranteeing the win! You can quote that. If we can win the to battle we can compete with anyone.

Did we notice a change in KC with this Dallas team?

Guys have been saying that Witten stepped up during the game, got in guys faces, and challenged players on the offensive side of the ball.

Brooking stepped up and challenged his defensive mates.

We haven't seen this type of activity from Dallas much lately.

But the players responded in that game, ... we came from behind, and we "took" the game from them in OT when the defense shut them down twice and the offense hit the big play for the game-winner.

This Falcons game will give me some sort of pulse on where we are going moving forward.

Have we changed? Do they want it more now? Do they now realize that it takes a special effort each week, each game.

Or we will see "up one game" and then a "lackluster effort" the next as in years past?

To answer the question, yes, Dallas can beat Atlanta. But it won't be easy.

It will show me something if they do.

Flozell plays much better at home where crowd noise isn't so much of a factor. When he's comfortable with his ability to HEAR and get off on the snap, he's able to relax and let his physical talent take over. Based on what I've seen, I think he'll dominate Abraham.

Rewatched the Atlanta/Chicago game about 3 times already.

hmm...they do seem very beatable.

Ryan made alot of bad throws.

Defense has some tackling issues.

The Cowboys were actually amoung the league leaders in redzon effeciency after 3 games.
#1 reason why was because of our dominating run game. Well Jones goes down followed by Barber and our red zone effeciency suffers over the next two games.

Jones and Barber are back and I anticipate a much better red zone performance against an Atlanta team struggling with run defense.

Your OC can not handle Ratliff. I saw enough of him against Chicago to see that. It's why Atlanta will have limited success running against us. Especially in obvious run situations and in the red zone.

Ryan will have to have his best game this year to beat us. Or at least to have a shot at scoring more than 20 points.

As the week's moved on, I've become more confident with a Cowboys win. Watching the Chicago Atlanta replay helped.

we'll be leading late in the game only to watch our defense give up a last minute game-winning drive.
