one week out and the Rams game to me is a must win. If they lose this game they have potential to pull an 0 for september. The rams are young and in transition. They have two good wr and a good tight end. They have an offensive line that is middle of the road. Their defense looks to be like ours in the middle of big changes. Very weak at linebacker, good on the defensive line and ok in the secondary.

They are running a new defensive scheme. Like Dallas getting ready to play them will be a challenge. I mistakenly thought they had hired Joe Barry as DC having not paid much attention. They actually hired Brandon Staley as DC and they are staying in the 3-4 and running Vic Fangio's scheme. They have a good group up front when they go nickel defense. They have donald, brockers, ekubam and Floyd. That is pretty good and will challenge this offensive line.

This game has serious potential to be a sloppy game that comes down to whoever has the ball last. That didn't go well for Dallas at all last year. The OC and QB here came up short everytime they needed them to go win the game. Hopefully something has changed there this year.

I imagine a lot of penalties, poor tackling and lots of communication issues for all teams in the first week or two of the league. With both Dallas and LA having new defensive schemes and a number of new players this just feels like a game that will be a mess.

if Ramsey takes gallup out of the game and they double cooper this could be a long day for the offense. Will Cooper even play? David Helman mentioned yesterday that he thinks xavier woods could also end up on IR after this weekend because he is injured also.

From April to August Dallas has been promoted as this uber talented team with a new coaching staff that was going to make said talent that much better. I heard that Bobby Belt character on the fan yesterday say the cowboys are one of the three most talented rosters in the league....Give me a break.....

BS season is over and they have to play a game in 7 days and I am not sure they are as talented as they have said they are. I can really see a scenario where the east is just a toss up when we get to December. All four teams are similar and have injuries and weaknesses.

anyway the Rams look to be in transition and have low expectations with the quality of San Francisco and Seattle in front of them...plus wherever Arizona shakes out in the end. Dallas has talked about a super bowl since April because they drafted a wr, now the games are ready to begin. Dallas Has to win this game. I feel like Dallas defense is going to be in for a long day versus seattle, atlanta and cleveland so this is a must win game.

Lamb chops on the GameDay menu!
 
this is where the shortened off-season and coaching change could work to our advantage.
the rams are used to seeing us and our schemes under garrett.
Big Mc's changes could give us an advantage...element of surprise.
i expect our guys to be ready and prepared under competent coaches.
 
Rams and Goff arent all that great but the spot scares me.

This is one year I'd prefer to open at home.

I have a tough time thinking about game analysis at the moment. We have seen nothing and havent much of a clue what to expect on either side of the ball.

I see no reason we couldn’t bounce back against the Falcons .

Predicting 0-3 appears a little gloomy out of the gates if we lose the opener.

it is and it will suck but of the first four teams the rams are the weakest imo.

Atlanta is the kind of team that I can see really giving this Dallas defense all kinds of problems. Four excellent weapons in the passing game in Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage and Hayden Hurst. They have a very good offensive line of young veterans who are all healthy. They are RB by committee but I think they will be able to block Dallas ends and let Ryan stand in there and just pick apart this defense.

I just have no faith in this defense and am not sure what the offensive line will be. Dallas is a team of front runners on offense. IF they have a lead in the second half they can dictate the pace of the game and use Zeke. If they are playing catch up well history says that is not a good situation. Who knows could be a different offense this year with new coaches.

Yea, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen “ must win” in week 1. Lol

yea it's an absurd opinion I admit. I just feel like the of the first four games this is the one they have to win. The other three will be tough. I think they are outclassed vs seattle, Atlanta's offense will do what it wants and cleveland has the weapons to put a bunch of points on the board.

JMO. I'm probably 100% wrong and they will start 4-0. That second block of games, Giants, Cardinals, Washington and the eagles seems like an easier stretch on paper. Getting 3 wins out of that group of four does not seem like to much of a stretch. The catch is they have dominated washington and new york and that will end at some point. Arizona is an odd team to me. I am not sure what to make of them. Kind of like Cleveland I guess.

anyway, I just feel like if they lose this Rams game it could domino into a really tough start.
 
A'Shawn their DT is starting the season on IR so we caught a break there. Its really disappointing that here in California we can't attend the game. Thats a home game for the Cowboys out here!
