Cowboys at Falcons

[Verdict]

I am trying to wrap my mind around what kind of team the Falcons are. The Chiefs had a good record but I really wasn't afraid of the Chiefs.

The Falcons are a dangerous, wounded team that is starting to play for its playoff life. 4 and 5 would put them in a bind so that is working against us.

They also seem to be a Jekyl and Hyde team that you don't really know who is going to show up. They have most of the same players that they had last year plus a few upgrades.

Julio is playing on one wheel which helps a little bit but Sanu is the real deal too. They can run the ball. So far I think the thing holding them back is their new OC. If they go back and look up what they did last year they could suddenly become dangerous.

I am concerned with their running game. This one is flip a coin for me. If the Cowboys play their best game it won't be close, but this could be a bit of a trap game after gearing up for the Chiefs.

Let's hear what you guys think about this one.

If Zeke plays we have a shot.

 

[links18]

Is Zeke playing or not? Dez and TWill? Whose replacing Price? I need to know more about the Cowboys before being able to say anything about this game.

 

[Aven8]

Tyron might be out this week from what I'm hearing.....

However Sarkisian is still the OC so we are in luck here folks. He is awful.

 

[Fontaine]

Called a win last week against the chiefs and I'm continuing that trend this week. The falcons don't scare me this year, they just look off. I feel like the Cowboys will win and move on to beat the Eagles the next week as well.

 

[CF74]

They started the season off on fire and then their 2 main receivers got hurt and haven’t been the same since...

 

[Tabascocat]

The most important game thus far, Dallas might need this tiebreaker come seasons end. Atlanta is not playing well but they will be home with a much needed win.

Hopefully, Julio won't be able to run much this week and we will need Zeke to take the top of the defense off.

 

[jjktkk]

I'm more concerned with Atlanta than I am the Eagles. But having said that, nothing is more soothing than watching the Cowboys running the ball down our opponent's throat. Definitely don't want to get in a shootout with the Falcons though.

 

[TWOK11]

The Falcons struggled against the Bears, Jets and Lions, got thumped by NE and lost AT HOME to Buffalo and Miami.

Eight weeks in and it's time to stop making excuses for them, they just simply aren't as good as last year. They've looked the part of an 8-8 team all year.

The Chiefs are a MUCH better football team.

 

[Floatyworm]

This is a playoff game...the loser is screwed.

 

[Gameover]

If Dak plays well, the Cowboys will win easy.

It's all about Dak. Dak is due for a strong road performance

At 2-3 I had the Cowboys winning the next 4 and then losing to Philadelphia. Which will have Philly media and Risen Puke looking like:

With all respect due to 2pac: Beating Philly @ their place come playoffs will be the sweetest joy! With the karma they've put out regarding Dak, this L is gonna be well deserved!

I think we're just better than Atlanta.

 

[cowboys1981]

I don't want to see Brown on Jones at all. I feel confident that we will put pressure on Ryan.

 

[Alohawg1]

I don't want to see Brown on Jones at all. I feel confident that we will put pressure on Ryan.

That's gonna be huge, getting enough pressure on Ryan to force hurries and maybe a gift or two.

Have you told the league office?
They can ask the falcons and eagles to forfeit the games to avoid unnecessary travel etc

 

[Zman5]

Just like the Chiefs' fans last week, most of the Falcons' fans think they will lose. Dak, Zeke, the OLine and our pass rush is scaring the opposing team's fans.

 

[Idgit]

Falcons look like a very beatable team coming off a Superbowl hangover to me. Throw in that DET loss and they're 3-5 and losers of five out of their last six. They are a cornered rat at home, though and a possible trap game, but this is a team we should beat.

 

[Sarge]

The Falcons sorely miss their OC. They are nowhere near the team they were last year on offense. FACT.

 

[Bullflop]

Atlanta has a break even record and have lost their last two games to mediocre opponents. They're not the team that they were last year and are struggling right now. If the Cowboys show up ready to play well, there's a good chance we'll get past them with a "W." If not, beware.

Haven't gotten a reply yet
