Cowboys vs. Patriots

[Verdict]

How do you guys think we match up against the Patriots, player vs. player. This isn’t about coaching. This thread is only about our personnel vs their personnel.

 

[JayFord]

Player vs player we have better overall talent than they do

 

[Blake]

We're screwed

 

[gmb1]

Talent is overrated

 

[Tabascocat]

We have more overall talent but scheming wins in this league which requires top notch coaching. BB will/can have a completely different game-plan each week catered towards tendencies and weaknesses. Coaching is what separates teams into the postseason.

However, I will be at that game and get to witness greatness.......hopefully, it is for Dallas that day

 

[ShortRound]

Patriots are losing sleep about facing us.

thats been the case for most of the past decade and yet they have umpteen rings and we.....have yet to find our way into our own conf champ game.
So not sure it matters but I’ve thought personnel-wise the pats have had crap for years outside Brady and Gronk.

Patriots are losing sleep about facing us.

They are?
Wait, sarcasm duly noted.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Talent wise we’re right there with the Patriots, if not a little better overall. However, they’re head and shoulders better than us when it comes to coaching and scheming, experience, heart and desire, and overall organizational culture.

Let’s see here...Belichick and Brady vs Garrett and Dak...

Best I can come up with is “any given Sunday”...

I will be at the game....wearing my Cowboys gear....Garrett has never defeated Bilicheck....I hope for a win....BUT....The Pats @ home, not good!

 

[Zman5]

We have a better QB. That’s about it.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

If I was in Garrett's position:

I would put their linebackers in coverage as often as possible. The thinking behind that strategy is, it will spread their defense out, making Zeke's job easier. Plus it is pretty common knowledge that outside linebackers in the 3-4 can't cover very well. So Shultz and Jarwin in the slot positions would be to our advantage.



P.S. More Pollard in the slot please.

Honestlyi see us winning. But what does it matter? Let's say we got a super bowl rematch. It would be 35-0

 

[Sarge]

There is one match-up we couldn’t overcome and has nothing to do with the players.

 

[Chrispierce]

Do we have to bring up this loss already?

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Simple.......one team plays for a coach and one plays for a system. In other words, as long as Brady and Bellichick are together it's an unfair task to measure your success based on talent. You have to beat one or the other, to have a chance. Don't ask me how.....just know it's your best shot.

I will say it helps to come out of the gate fast and aggressive coz. The more they're behind the more the system is diluted a bit. It's no secret Bellichick's first priority is shutting down what you do best, meaning Dak will be the key any chance we have.

 

[DanA]

They’ll bet us 25+ to sub 10.

I’m in the camp that thinks we have more talent but coaching handicap.

 

[Cmac]

I think its going to be "JG sabotaging Kellen again".

 

[Hardline]

The New York Giants are next on the schedule not the Patriots.
