Cowboys 12.5 point favorites over Cardinals

[jazzcat22]

So .... how many are going to pick Dallas by 4 or more in the weekly poll. It will be interesting to see those that do not.

Hopefully we show up to play. If we become full of ourselves, it could lead to an upset. These are the kind of games that concern me the most.

If the Cowboys keep playing this way, they need to become MORE full of themselves, not less.

How about taking someone serious that has been watching the team since 1965 and says that this is their best team in decades?

I don’t take you serious because you miss on all your predictions. Lol We’ve argued about several topics that you ended up being wrong about.

 

[KJJ]

I guess you missed the posts then.

I must have because I’ve never seen anyone predict we’re going to lose every week. They can’t possibly be a Cowboys fan. However, I’ve seen plenty of posters who predict we’re going to win every week.

If they become full of themselves, it will derail their season. The quickest way to become complacent is to become full of yourself. The Cowboys are going to have some very difficult games ahead. I know some of you find that hard to believe, but it’s true. It’s not going to be this easy every week.

What predictions have I missed?
Maybe last SF game.

I guess you are tracking my predictions.

And you are just another one that always feel you must disagree and come after my posts anyway. So your opinion is usually wrong.

On all my predictions? Then why was I listed on the list of predicting 12 and 5 last year? I also predicted wins in weeks 2 and 3 last year after a lot of people said the season was over last after week 1.

You don’t think there’s a chance they’ll take someone lightly this season, and it will lead to an upset?

With the 2023 version of the Doomsday Defense, no.

I wasn’t referring to you. That post was to Rambo2. You might want to go back and check the posts.

Better revisit that comment. He has been right about a lot of stuff the last few months.

I haven’t seen any lists. I’m just looking at the predictions you made to me.

 

[Diehardblues]

Last year lol

Where?

Not with the discussions we’ve had. He claimed Vaughn would be one of our top two backs entering the season. He predicted he would have 2 TDs on opening day. There’s been several other calls he made that were wrong.

Oh , the 2 tds for Deuce, big deal. You got the lucky timeout to stick your chest out.

my apologies.
I looked at your response to mine, then seen yours to others and got mixed up, going through posts too fast.

I think my morning coffee kicked in.

Uh, I don't think KJJ was addressing you.

You can lose any game in the NFL, but the Cowboys are exceedingly likely to beat Arizona almost regardless of how poorly they play.

So far he hasn’t been nearly what you said he would be at the start of the season. I proved you and several others wrong. Everything I said has been spot on!

 

[Jumbo075]

That’s not what I asked. I asked do you think they’ll beat every team they’re favored against? You don’t think there’s a chance they’ll take someone lightly this season and it leads to a poor performance? Did you think Washington would blow them out last season with a rookie QB making the first start? The biggest enemy the Cowboys have had the past couple of decades is handling success.

I don't get any indication that the Cowboys players are satisfied. The defense goes onto the field every week with chips on their shoulders. They are on a mission to prove they are the best in the NFL, and one of the best ever defenses in the history of the NFL. Micah Parsons makes no secret of the fact that he wants to chase history. He's not competing against the weekly opponents. He's competing with Lawrence Taylor, the 2000 Ravens, the Vikings of the late 60's and early 70's, the Dallas Cowboys Doomsday defense of the 70's, the Steel Curtain, and 1970's Rams defenses with Deacon Jones and Jack Youngblood. He's competing with the 1985 Bears. He doesn't give a rip about the weekly opponent, other than to destroy them completely. And the entire defensive team has bought into it.

As for the offense, Dak was up at the podium on Sunday after the game discussing all the ways the Cowboys offense needs to improve. No complacency or arrogance - just a focus on fixing the problems and getting better.

This coaching staff has transformed the Cowboys team, which is why "27 years" has no meaning to this current team. They aren't responsible for those 27 years. They are only thinking about this year, and the next game. McCarthy has the offense purring, with 12 scoring drives through 2 games, and the defense is suffocating. The new young kicker is money. They Cowboys may have the best punter and kick returner in the NFL. They are blocking kicks, and overall they are explosive in every facet of the game.

The real scary part is asking how good the Cowboys can really be as their young TE's improve, and their Oline gets healthy. The depth on this team is scary, and the main offseason concern of many - depth on the Oline - has been answered in spades, with 7 of the 8 players on the Oline already playing significant time in the first two games. Every unit has scored, including defense and special teams. This team has few flaws, and is only going to get better when starters Tyler Smith, Donovan Wilson, and Brandin Cooks return.

Are they the best in the NFL? Though the first two weeks, only the 49ers have approached the Cowboys dominance. Even the Eagles look weaker than the Cowboys right now. We'll see how well the Cowboys play in Week 5. After that, we'll have a better idea. Next week's game against the Cardinals won't tell us anything other than what we already know. The Cardinals lost a game to a team the Cowboys beat 40-0 just a week ago. The Vegas line is 12.5. It should be double that; and the Cowboys would likely still cover the 25 point spread.

Lol, I wouldn't say that. We will see. He is a good player.
