Cowboys/Commanders game Compared to the Eagles/Falcons game

[Phoenix-Talon]

This game is going to be filled with the same type of intesity as the Eagles/Falcons game. Both teams have something to prove, yet the outcome is merely for bragging rights (despite the fact that it's one more notch in the "W" column.

Both teams do not like each other, and QB for both teams is controversial -- however, special emphasis is placed on the running back versus the QB position. It's stopping JJ or stopping Portis -- both very good running backs.

Since the game is being Played in Texas, Dallas would seem to have the advantage, but you Know that's not always the case.

Both teams fairly healthy, with the exception of ...

Dallas:


LB Kevin Burnett (knee), S Justin Beriault (knee), and LB Kalen Thornton (knee).



Commanders:
Clark, RyanProbableKneeClemons, ChrisProbableHamstringHall, JohnDoubtfulQuadJansen, JonProbableThumb InjuriesNoble, BrandonOutKneeTupa, TomOutBackWhite, Jr., ManuelOutAnkleWilliams, MelvinOutTriceps Injury

Revenge, getting even, who owns who ...they all sound familiar. You better believe I'm going to be watching this one!

S Justin Beriault (knee), and LB Kalen Thornton (knee).

Those two players are on the IR with season ending knee surgery and were never even on the roster.

yea but the Dallas fans will never be as loud as the fans at the Falcons game.

Thats the one thing I hate is that all the Dallas fans are never that loud compared to other teams at home.

No doubt this will be an exciting game with some big time hitting going on. The thing that worries me some is turn overs...if we are even or better on turn overs I think we win by at least 10, however their D forcing turnovers will be key if they want to pull the upset.

Thei Dline is very thin...so they need to create havoc early if they want to get us...if they don't it will be along night for those guys in the trenches!

If they aren't, that limits home field advantage!

...and the small facts that the Falcons play in a dome and have a larger stadium capacity.


Give the fans something to be loud about and they'll comply. Texas Stadium can be very loud. I remember Aikman having to quiet the crowd down multiple times during the "glory years".

What about penalties -- they can change the direction of a game.

Did you see the Raiders game last night? Thats outside and way louder then any Dallas game.

Look Im a big Cowboys fan but its not loud when they play at home.

Agreed...and we've had some really stupid ones too. I hope we are getting passed the stupid penalties...Parcells will not take that crap for very long.

I think we will pound the ball early and often...even to the point of making me sick to wear down the front four of Washington...they are too thin there to be real effective late in the game (Noble is out).

Yes sir. Was there in 95. Monday night against the Packers. I couldn't even hear myself think. There used to be a noise meter in the corners of the stadium. They were railed all night. Not bad for a stadium with a huge hole in it.

I'll keep an eye on the the Skins front four and your run game. You may have nailed the key to tonight's victory; or not.

I was there two years ago when we played AZ (Emmitt's return)...we had them backed up for their second safety....it was LOUD! I thought what roof was on the place was going to pop....it can get loud.

Now as for places like Candlestick where I will be next week....does not even compare to Cowboys stadium...

I hope we do wear them down early....bring up Taylor in the box, then we exploit them deep...

I hope you are right PF............24 to 10 would be nice.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

I hope you are right PF

Stop it 1F -- stop fretting so hard ...even if you lose you'll only be 1-1, that's a great standing at this point (.500). However, the Commanders will have a major "bragging rights" party!

 

[Hoov]

This game is going to be GREAT !!! The teams will be fired up, i think its starting at 9:30, a little later than normal which means the players have to wait a little longer, should build up the anticpation even more. I agree this game will be played with a good bit of intensity. Im hoping the rest of the year has Quality games for MNF.

GO COWBOYS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now PT, How do you figure I'm fretting? I actually think we will win but I don't know about 24 points.... Their "D" is stingy..... I have Witten and the Cowboys "D" on my fantasy league...... There's no "FRETTING"....

What I'm sensing is a little gloating...... the 9ers? come on!

Yep .

 

[boysfanindc]

The biggest injury could be Hall at the end of the day.

He is a big time kicker and if it comes down to field goals, who would you rather have Hall or Novak?

 

[1fisher]

Yep .

I thought so.... and you do have the right.... but the 9ers?
