Twitter: Cowboys open as 10 point favorites against the Bears

[T-RO]

The Lions are way, way better than the Bears. Should be easiest win of the year.

But I never ever give my money away (betting). Zebras went hard to help the Cowboys over the line Sunday. They could go hard to oppose the Boys vs. Chicago. League runs the casino, my friends.

Easy cover. Have you not been watching this defence. The bears are done lol.

I've been watching this offense. That's what gives me pause. I watched this offense put up 3 points in the first half two weeks in row. We put up 24 total points in a game where we got 5 turnovers.

Now we play the Bears, a better defense than the lions. Dallas may very well win by 30. But the one thing you never do, is put money on a double digit favorite hoping the defense helps you out in scoring points.

It makes me chuckle when I see fans 'hoping' we don't overlook upcoming opponents because its assumed we'll beat them. Dallas, like every other professional team in every sport in the world, spends its entire working life preparing for the next game. Its only fans that get ahead of themselves and takes wins or losses for granted.

As they say......"On any given Sunday".

True and all very valid points. But once you see how awful the bears offence is. You will feel better. Why does everyone keep saying 3 points at half. Really that was on Dak. We were 21-0 in the most important quarter.

Don't get me wrong, if I had to bet one or the other, it wouldn't be the Bears. Their offense is an embarrassment. But our scoring against the Lions was very defense related. What was it, 2 picks and 3 fumbles? Had that dude not fumbled at the 1 yard line, we're in a dogfight. The following turnovers may not happen since Detroit wouldn't have been in desperation mode. I still think we win, just not by that much.

Made easy money off that 7 point spread over the Lions. This one is high.

So how was our scoring defense related? A fumble recovery on the 1 we have to go 99 yards to score?

Another agenda comment that blows up in your face.

There have certainly been games in the past, in which it seemed as though the Cowboys underestimated the opponents. Whether that's mere perception or poor preparation by the staff is hard to say.

The bears have no business scoring more than 10 points against this defense.....

they do nothing right on offense....but this is a week to week game so they may score 35 maybe even 42

and if they do i'll vomit heavily

Relax. Drink some water. Don't let the lid hit you in the back of the head. No turnovers, 3 points. 5 turnovers, 21 points. It's not complicated. Every turnover wasn't from the 1 yard line.

Thats not what you said buddy. You said the Cowboys scoring offense was because of the defensive turnovers. I simply pointed out that giving the offense the ball on their own 1 yard line is not helping anything for the offense. There as a pick that was also within the Cowboys 20 yard line.

At least try to get your facts straight when you troll Dak and the offense.

The one yard line turnover was huge!! If they score there, the other turnovers might not happen because the Lions wouldn't have been in desperation mode. The Lewis pick at mid field, and the strip sack gave us great field position.

It's going to be a repeat of the Giants game. Only this time it will be Justin Fields running like a chick in a horror flick.

This is a game where the Cowboys have to be very careful. It’s a legit trap game. The past decade or so the Cowboys have struggled against average QBs. Justin Fields has been a bust so far but he’s an athletic QB, who can run. The last time the Cowboys faced the Bears Mitch Trubisky had a career game. He ran for 63 yards. A lot of angry Cowboy fans on the board after that game.

The bears aren't even DA Bears

I remember that. What an embarrassment. Mitch had more time in the pocket than hard candy at a retirement home.

It’s the games against bad teams that can ruin your season if you don’t show up to play. The Cowboys being favored by 10 points makes me even more nervous about this game. Despite the Cowboys 5-2 record they’ve not a great team. Yesterdays game wasn’t as lopsided as the score indicates. That was a tough game for more than 3 quarters and the Cowboys were behind at one point. The five turnovers were the difference.

Our offense still isn’t very good and it may not be good the rest of the season with the lack of talent we have at WR. Our defense has a great pass rush, but is vulnerable against the run. I’ll be totally honest if the playoffs were next week, the Cowboys still look like a one and done team against a real good football team with a good QB. We’re never going to score a lot of points against a playoff team if we don’t improve our passing game and it’s going to be tough with the receivers we have.

Bears are really bad.

Josh Fields is the worst NFL quarterback I've seen since Curtis Painter. Just horrible.
