Cleveland is a very winnable game to me

Underestimating the opponent, I think. The Browns have a really good defense, they are hard to beat at home, they also have a good running game even without Chubb. The Cowboys are awful on grass fields historically, had trouble stopping the run last year, and struggled running the football against good defenses. On paper this game looks to be a real test for the Cowboys.

A sloppy game favors Dallas. But we'll have to see if Watson is any good coming off an injury last year. The Browns were 5-1 last year before Watson got hurt.

May come down to Watson. If he's up and down like he was last year and the year before in the few games he played, we have a great shot. If he's on, we may have a problem.

Dak has to be efficient. He can't spit the bit for a quarter or more.

A road game with only a 3 point spread is a winnable game?
ya don't say

1-0 is a lock. Already looking to week 2. Hopefully Trance will be starting.

We can't run the ball, and the Browns are very good at stopping the run. That means our offense will be forced to be one dimensional which rarely works out well.

The only thing going for us is that Chubb is out, or this game is likely a blowout in favor of the Browns. We have a chance to win because of this, but it will probably take a defensive score to do it.
Or a 67 yard FG from the bionic leg of Mr. Aubrey. :bow:

This is a game going into the year I had as a L which is a reason I think Dallas goes 8-9. A W would change a lot of expectations for people in terms of at least making the playoffs.

Leave it to cowboys fans to underestimate teams, those are the most shocked when we lose to teams like this!

The Cowboys offense should outscore the Browns offense. So they should win.
Huh?
Our offense is the biggest issue in any games we play vs playoff teams.
If they score 20 points it will be a miracle.
Coop is going to have a field day and everyone here is underestimating Watson.
If the defense sees our offense doing the Deer in the headlights dance they will simply give up like they did in the GB game.
This could get ugly fast............ :facepalm:

I don't see how anyone could give us this much credit pappy, we have great stats, but I swear that doesn't tell the underline truth on how a lot of our drives look. At times we have quick 3 and out drives, we just get the ball and already are punting it. You look at other games recently and see offenses where guys are wide open seconds after the ball is snapped. If dak isn't buying time to extend the play to where the defense can't cover any longer, THAT'S our best pass play! It shouldn't be that way. Add on our RB situation with zeke in there, it's not going to help much at all.

Our first drives they come out hot, only for us to get stuck in the red zone and kick 3 (nothing wrong with that, but we need to score TD's) and not live by the 3


Coop is a great great route runner who will be going against a secondary with ????????? all over them. Diggs does he have his confidence, will coop expose how good the leg is, Carson he's banged up a bit, I guess we'll have to get Booth out there see how he is

We have great stats cause our leader is a Stat-Bandito.
Cowboys lose again but the stats like Tony the Tiger used say.................ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cleveland is no juggernaut, however the way Dallas plays vs solid teams on the road, and on grass and the rook vs Garrett, I wouldn't bet on Dallas.

If our defense, run game defense specifically, has improved this will be a defensive battle where both offenses will find it hard to get anything going ,special teams could decide the game. Our kicker is out of control. I hope theirs can keep up.
