Me bland men and purported football experts:

Even with our JAG Dakota healthy it would be a BIG upset over the Bengies.
Add our woes at O line and an unproven running attack and we got problems, proBlems with a capital B!

Now, despite all tha, rate how monumental an upset would this be.

1. An upset, nothing more
2. Possibly the upset of our season.
3. This gets the NFL talking heads attention.
4. THE upset of the season!

I choose 3. (Cue in the talk of how the Bengies are in a nosedive and the Cowboys are surprisingly resilent)

Still, I have it Bengies 27, Cowboys 9.

3 for me too but I also have it as a 31-20 Cincy win.

If we beat Cincy. It will be downplayed as Cincy has issues .

How true.

It would be such a laurel for us, but the media would hover over the Bengies bodies with lamintations aplenty.
Mina Kimes would be delving into the psyche of Burrow and ask if Joe Mixon's troubled past was haunting hm.:rolleyes:

The Cowboys could absolutely win this game.

It's the NFL, and Cincy is far from a perfect team.

Lad, don't drink anymore kool-ade and the gang.

Cowboys' chances are ... let us pray.

It's not even the biggest betting line this week.

The Bengals are coming in angry about their loss last week.

If the Bengals had won last week, then I could see this as a trap game. However, under their present circumstances, if the Bengals lose it will because they really aren't that good of a team and that will be demonstrated as the season progresses.

I'm not one who thinks you can judge a team by a single game. It wouldn't make any difference if the Cowboys beat the Bengals only to go 1-4 or whatever, while Dak is out.

What would be monumental is the Cowboys having a winning record while Dak is out. The probability of that happening is not encouraging, in my opinion.

Go Cowboys!
I have no expectations from the Boys, therefore just watching the games for tha upset is good enough for me (until 2024).

When you look at the Bengals left guard and right tackle, it wouldn't be that big of an upset. Throw in that the Bengals will have a rookie long snapper making his NFL debut after the disaster that they had in week 1.

Dear lad, I am open to opinion but ... barely an upset?
Cowboys are a team in crises The Bengals are angry after their loss to the Stealers (sic.) and their secondary is better than average.
In me voluminous mind I would say that the Cowboys defeating the Bengies would be a lot more than an upset.

Why, kind sir, good observation.

If the Dallas D plays a gem of a game and the running game somehow gets back on track— we have a puncher’s chance at an upset.

Yes.
Universalic in scope.
Consider a Rush led team upsetting Burrow and Mixon and their good secondary and Ja'Marr Chase.
Close to a solar eclipse, yes, internet urchin.
