Cowboys vs Bengals

[blueblood70]

Cooper Rush is our Nick Foles!!!!

It's possible but Cooper rush will need the same energy that Nick Foles got from the defense special teams offensive line run game and coaching staff which seems to have improved the last couple of weeks and that's why we won the games not necessarily from the quarterback play but I'll give him that kind of credit he read this and more if we're trying to make a run at the playoffs this team has to step up do something they're not normally used to doing is happen to be exceptional everywhere but not count on the quarterback... I mean if anybody's watching these games you're gonna see that that's true I mean Prescott wins every one of these games and buy a longer larger margin which doesn't matter but yes it matters to have the team playing well and if that happens to be the backup quarterback like Steve Berlin for instance or you seen guys like Nick Foles do this so it's possible..

LONGSHOT Playing with House money!!

but not mathematically eliminated getting players back healthier and if the coaches stayed being smart by not forcing the hurt veterans back onto the field and forcing them the ball and continue using this offensive line the way it is, Rico the way they have, and getting Turpin more involved, and let this defense just be more reckless like why not?? I mean you have nothing to lose you might as well put pressure on from everywhere and just use a high risk defense that people have a hard time stopping it will be feast or famine when you do that giving up big plays but I'd rather do that just go out there and be aggressive and play like there's nothing to lose that's something they don't do when they have the standard team in there and it's odd right that they wait till it's too late to do all these things..

This all comes down to stopping Burrow and his deadly receivers.

If ever there was a good time for both Diggs and Bland to be on the field, it is this game. Parsons needs to be draped over Burrow all game long.

The Bengals defense is horrendous. Their last three opponents averaged 38 points scored. Rush should reach his ceiling of 25 points.

Keep the Bengals to 24 points scoring and the Cowboys win.

Diggs, bland ,AND JLEW all needed for this offense. I dint watch the Denver game but how do the browns get Jeuady and i could be wrong hes the best WR on the browns, a record day when they have Surtain on the other side? why would he not shadow Jeudy all game? that a bad GP ie Scheme.. dudes making plays and hes on their 2-3 DB most of the game? who was Surtain on??

so yes, Diggs on Chase all game.. its a must.

will need Parsons and Overshown; Batman and Robin are heating up, no longer Just Parsons and that good for that duo and Zim.. but that cinci D hasnt been good, so if there a time for this patched together mutt offense to shine, it could be this game!!

Can we not talk about the draft anymore the draft will happen in the offseason right now we're playing the Bengals so let's just talk about the game not the draft implications it doesn't matter none of them care about the draft right now that are playing on the field and that are coaching and especially the GM and the owner nobody's tanking nobody's trying to lose and I don't think Cincinnati is either I mean if they were were they not pull Burrows I mean why do they need Joe Burrows against us why don't they sit there players?

I must say this again and I keep saying this the word tank the concept of tanking is a fan born narrative that's it teams do not really do it you know it looks like they do it but that's organically losing that's just being bad and sometimes they do pull their better players and play their younger players but that's what you do in a lost season that's not trying to lose that's trying to do evaluations in live games letting guys get reps this is normal this is not tanking let's just talk about the games themselves and the matchups and stop talking about the draft I don't care the players are not laying down so why talk about it the coaches are not coaching to lose so why bother talking about it?

I love the draft. I love the games. I love the Cowboys.

Pretty sure our offense will not be able to keep up with the Bengals. Cincy wins because they score 40+

that would be conceding the fact that our defense can't slow them down? Do you remember the fact that in 2022 and Cooper rush beat them last time the defense was able just slow down that Cincinnati Bengals team and yes they might be hard to stop but our defense is just coming around right now they might be hitting their strides I sure hope tank can play but either way they're looking much healthier and confident and Mike zimmer's putting a lot more pressure on teams right now because he has nothing to lose so that offensive line better be ready... I'm not saying we're gonna win the game or keep this under 40 but I think maybe you're dismissing the defense in the fact that the way they're playing right now and not the way you remember from 4 weeks ago but right now with the guys they've getting back they're getting healthy they're getting confident they seem to be chomping at the bit right now to prove that they can be better than they were at the beginning of the year and they might be right it's how you finish not how you start so don't judge this defense by how it was..

And the one positive is they don't have a strong run game can their running back block how do their offensive line really block to give them time and they don't have a mobile quarterback those are typically our Achilles heel and they don't have that but I don't watch a lot of Cincinnati games so I couldn't tell you but I see their record their defense might end up letting Cooper score some points so let's calm down a little bit we beat Washington they had all those things going I mean look at Washington immediately the next game scored 21 quick points took it out on the Titans they didn't take it out on us so maybe we're just now rounding in the form I don't know maybe it's a mirage maybe it's all fake we're about to find out..

and we happen to be at home and I know we haven't played that well at home however it's better than playing in at Ohio outdoor weather right now so this could all fall our way it could be that dominating game at home we've been looking for...

This game for sure will prove whether this defense is getting better or we just got lucky the last couple weeks this is the true test...​

I love the draft. I love the games. I love the Cowboys.

Yeah but we're so far out from talking about the draft nobody knows how those players in the draft right now fit in these mock drafts we have no idea right now where we're picking in the draft so we can talk about the draft during the combine we have a better idea why we're watching the combine and we'll be sitting knowing where the Cowboys are picking to better talk about who's going where and who we might get I don't even like these too early mock drafts there aren't really any anyway but people are trying to guess we are gonna pick wherever we pick and I bet there's some good players there

The last 5 games numbers have started to elevate and relevant players are coming together. The complete box area is showing change and players are returning affecting rate and affectiveness, both.

anyone comparing the situation now and in 2022 is a football fool

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Yay

LOL

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Man if Rockport was here to see you say that.

LOL, the Rock is almost like my man Aria, need an APB on both.

has anyone seen Rock and Dak in a room at the same time?

has anyone seen Rock and Dak in a room at the same time?

Many times...both are fans and made from good mash.

 

[gimmesix]

The Bengals actually suck.

Not on offense. They have the top passing offense in yards per game and are top five (tied) in points per game. The good news is that they do not have a great rushing team.

What if c-a-t really spelled dog?
