This is exactly what this team needs going into their bye. The Lions played them tough, having time to prepare. Now, Chicago comes in high off blowing out the Patriots.

Some of the fanbase looks at records and stats, making asinine predictions. Others look at preparation, will of the players, and flow of the game. Dallas better be ready.

The media has more of an influence on some than they choose to believe. This the NFL, not the FBS. The Eagles will soon find out that they are not invincible, no matter how many Cowboys fans cheer them on.

Yeah with our run defense that is concerning. Hopefully we can jump on them early and force them to pass a lot.

Any team that plays the Bears and whose major priority isn't making Field beat you with his arm should lose. I'm stacking eight, maybe nine in the box. As for the Pats, what happened to Belichick scheming an offense to a min production, even with average talent?

That is true but he was also a problem running. He was using his legs to buy time and threw some nice passes 20 yards down field to his TE working the middle of the field. I think Dallas has enough speed to get after him but I'm sure the Bears are looking at what the Eagles were doing to Parsons.

May or may not matter.......some teams, maybe most can do what the Eagles did coz of their scheme or personnel or both. My point is some teams can't be something they are not.

It's a strength vs weakness on both sides of the ball. Bears and Cowboys both have great rushing attacks and, while they have tough defenses overall, are weaker vs the run.

Comparable to the Giants game I think.

We'll need 24 to win this one.
Can the offense produce?
If we lose to the bears we may miss playoffs.

Won't matter, we've been guaranteed that Dallas is going to win 35-3 and Dak will finally light up the NFL.
This is true till he comes out with his dear in headlight look and it’s a 10-3 bears lead at half
Exactly! Dak is the Cowboys savior according to the way he acts.
You see this is exactly an example of why this board is so infected. This thread began without a mention of the qb but this is what happens regularly
Not enough Dak threads for you?
