Interesting take on the game, says that Chidobe will have a target on his back and that they expect to win the passing game against our Defense.

http://www.denverpost.com/2017/09/1...sports-broncos+(Denver+Post:+Sports:+Broncos)

We know about Leary being in concussion protocol here are some other injuries they have

Safety Darian Stewart injured his groin in the game against the Chargers and sat out of practice on Wednesday. He was a light participant for Thursday and Friday’s practice. Stewart has more responsibilities since the Broncos released T.J. Ward after the preseason. Second-year starter Justin Simmons is still learning, so Stewart has to become the a mentor and leader in order for the No Fly Zone to continue to dominate the passing lanes. If Stewart doesn’t make it, the Broncos could suddenly be rather thin in the secondary.
Out:
  • (RB) Booker, Devontae (Wrist) – Limited Participation in Practice
  • (DE) Crick, Jared (Back) – Did Not Participate in Practice surgery earlier in the week
  • (CB) Langley, Brendan (Knee) – Did Not Participate in Practice
  • (QB) Lynch, Paxton (Shoulder (Right)) – Did Not Participate in Practice

First of all. Im all for backing your team, but lets put perspective out there first. Dallas whipped on a divisional rival who was doing mental damage had there been another win by them. He takes none of the Cowboys strenghts into account, nor even puts any thought into it. Just a simple, well this game will be won by Denver if Dallas shows up or not.

Id take him more serious if he accounted for Dallas and the fact Dallas rolls in with the number 1 RB in the league, if nothing else.

I think it still comes down to the QB's and I like ours more than theirs. Dez will probably get frustrated again with Aquib and take himself mentally out of the game. Special teams may bend in their favor we have not shown much of a return game.

Well according to the Denver forum, we're all delusional for thinking a team that went 13-2 last season has a chance to win. Apparently the Denver defense is waaaaay better than the Giants defense.

lets be honest, has Dallas been a threat lately? no. Should anyone right now take Dallas serious? no, so lets let the games sort out the facts and destroy opinions. Did with the Giants game. at the end of the day its "who is the winner" not "who do you think should have won"

I'm not sure I understand this? How can Dallas not be a threat? Are you basing that off of the playoff game? They came back from being down against Arod. I'd say that makes them pretty dangerous. They also did that damage with 2 rookies. I think I gotta disagree with you bro

im basing it off the facts Dallas was no threat. Woulda coulda shoulda will not win you games. i had complete confidence Dallas would lose that game. i said last seaosn Dallas will win some games but not make any noise, and they made zero noise. the packers have been a bane for us for a while and Garrett can not over come it. his team will have to learn how to do it.

Denver is a good battle tested team playing at home. That means anything can happen here regardless of how the individual matchups look on paper.

With that being said I think their style of play is tailor-made for how the Cowboys like to play football. They want to run effectively to take the pressure off of Siemian. This team excels in stopping the run first. In the passing game they like to get rid of the ball quickly usually to the QBs first read. I love our LBs against their underneath stuff here.

On defense their weakness has been holding up against the run. They've added some pieces designed to improve that facet of their game and they did play better against the Chargers. The Chargers are not Dallas in this area however. Obviously, what they really like to do is get after the QB. While this should be a major concern for every team they face including the Cowboys, the Dallas OL is built for teams who specialize in terrorizing teams with their pass rush.

Lol, i saw that the other night. They also think the Giants secondary is nowhere close to being as good as their "no fly zone".
I disagree.

Denver is dangerous because their defense can have monster games at any moment. They have the best pass rusher in the league and they have a Mauler inside in Wolfe. Then they have corners and safeties that play exceptional football.

Their weakness is the offense. They are a better version of the Giants. For the exception that the Broncos have 2 shelf receivers and the giants just have 1. And the Broncos have a better running game as well.

This will be a tough game for us. But it's ours to lose. Ive said that several times and I'll stand by it.

Has Denver been a threat lately with Trevor Siemian as their qb? But according to blog Miles High Report, they think he is better than Dak.
