Game Day ***Cowboys vs Dolphins pre game thread***

[blueblood70]

Here's a few positive spins on today,

• I saw on NFL Network since 2005 against teams that have 10 plus wins the Cowboys are 11-2
• the last three seasons we've only lost back-to-back, one time.
• the dolphins have not yet beat a team that has a winning record yet.

Time to fillet the fish. Limit their run game and play your role. I hope Pollard can get going so the Cowboys control time of possession.

Technically they're a mammal not a fish but I don't want to be that guy , I just want to remind you LOL

All the reasons as to why I fear that the Cowboys will lay an egg today - Murphy's Law. It's like when an announcer says before a team attempts a 38-yard FG attempt: "this kicker has not missed a FG within 40 yards since the Carter administration" - only to see the kick go wide left.

Nah that kind of karma or fate or whatever you're trying to say it's getting reversed because 75% of everyone picked Miami including the people in here... The Cowboys are underdogs on the road everyone's picking against them that means that reversed would mean a cowboy win

see how I can spin that let's try not to be negative folks..

How about this overrated and ridiculously underperforming defense show up first I mean it's ridiculous that you have to go into a game now thinking you have to score 30 plus points to win it's insane that is not what they we're selling to us in the offseason everyone was expecting the defense to take a big step and become a shut down lockdown championship defense at earns a name in a T-shirt it has done none of that is wildly inconsistent in all four losses 70% of it was on the defense... I mean the way they're being walked down the field killing time of possession most of which is not helping our offense we're expecting our offense to protect our defense I mean where are we going back three years to Mike Nolan I mean this is starting to feel like rod marinelli's defense I mean it's literally nothing but excuses for the defense everybody blaming the offense and really the defense has been the biggest issue this year...

I mean Mike McCarthy had to completely switch his entire philosophy and the way he was going to call plays this year to be conservative protect the defense play low scoring games and none of that's happened I mean this defense eats against bad teams but that's about it they get boat raced down the field they give up way too many easy scores to start the game to start the second-half it's just been going on and on and on so let's clear this up,

let's hope the team shows up today picking one side of the ball or the other is not the way to look at this as it's a team game but really the offense never gonna have a chance if it needs to try to just go toe to toe with every team especially when you're on the road you need your defense and your run game that's literally the recipe for success on the road and in the playoffs....

And that's exactly how Mike McCarthy went into that Buffalo game trying to run the football trying to beat conservative not turn over a wet ball or have some weird things happen and you know what it backfired again because the defense just couldn't make any stops!

Oh by the way let's limit the penalties and let's hope the referees let them play... What you might be right we might need another Seattle game because the defense can't do **** we're gonna have to have the offense just open it up run as much motion crazy plays and try to score on every single possession you know like not punt that's what this defense needs they need an offense that doesn't punt they need to basically stay on the field the whole game to protect the defense..ughh!!!

I know, it is what it is. The offense will have to carry the defense today

my only wish is a close game and not to get blown out.

Nah man, no moral victories that gives the team too much hope...

they can use that an excuse like Oh yeah look we barely won, we barely lost, no a one point win; 30 point win, I'll take it but there are no moral victories...

I don't wanna lose by one and feel good,

I mean I get what you're saying because it's the holidays and you don't want to be miserable and losing a close hard-fought game might take the sting off a little bit but still no moral victories as far as the team goes, I believe getting their butts kick we'll go longer way to fixing things before the playoffs then barely losing. No false sense of security...

hopefully a rebound win.. GO COWBOYS!

 

[Pipelayer72]

Interestingly the Cowboys are ranked #2 overall in offense with the Dolphins being #1. I could be wrong but last I checked both teams are ranked close defensively as well. Should be a great game. Go Cowboys!

It's time to go rip Miami's throat out.

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

Let’s get a win Cowboys!!

 

[kyle73401]

Rebound win, LFG!!!

This game is so hard to pick. You have a loser front running Cowboys team that routinely gets exposed on the road vs their AFC counterpart in the Dolphins who can't beat a good team no matter where they play.

Take the home team then would be the logic but the one thing the Cowboys do well is respond after a bad loss.

Resistable force vs. the movable object. Two frauds. I'd like to pick against both.

Fandom aside...the pick is Miami since they are at home and Dallas is on the road. Dallas needs to be careful and not get blown out here.

Could be a shootout today. Our offense needs to be in high gear.

Time to destroy those Sardines!

What is Latin for don't get blown out? We may have a new t-shirt here.

 

[Risen Star]

The Dolphins gash man coverage. The Cowboys predominantly use man coverage.

Watch a movie.

Quinn cant be stubborn today. He has to mix it up more than he probably would like to.
