Dallas Cowboys vs Tampa Bay Bucs

[starfan1]

I believe Suh is still unsigned as a free agent

Oh ok then it will be someone else that we don’t block well enough

 

[GMO415]

While this is true, I still believe we will be able to run against this team. Schultz, pollard and Zeke need to have big games for us to win this one

21 will be a FB

27-20 Tampa.

 

[GMO415]

Unless we have 3 turnovers inside the 30 yard line, if our defense gives up 5 TDs then it is going to be a long season.

Dak gets sacked 6+ times. One TB scoop and score and one INT returned for a TD.

What does your TB forum say about this game?

 

[ESisback]

Especially on here. More fans seem to want a loss than a win.

Curse of the overreaction! If we win, some will start chanting Super Bowl. If we lose, even more will say “See? We’re doomed!”

Per Jimmy Johnson, we need to win in two of the three phases of the game. I think our defense and special teams will win this one for us.

Micah understand his role much better this time around. Brady will need his dink and dunk ball out quick arm. Oh, that is his arm.
Anyway, if the LB's and DB's can cover and keep the play in front of them. Those dink and dunk passes will turn into punts. As well, allowing sacks also.

Brady will look bad in this game.

Maybe all season.......he's lost a lot of key weapons and a lot of off-field issues ( Fox contract, personal issues even he admits still unresolved). In fact, it would not surprise if it's the worst season of his career. Keep in mind, that he is use to having total control of everything around him.

I don't like us in this matchup, mainly because we've never in 22 years been able to beat Tom Brady. No reason to bet against history, especially when we're talking about the Cowboys.

The obvious push back I'll get from Cowboys fans is "pressure Brady up the middle and he's done!" And if it were that simple, everyone would do it. Brady has an uncanny ability to avoid the rush and get the ball out quickly because he somehow knows who the open man will be before the ball is snapped.

If we were to win this game, the running game needs to be working and we also need to start fast. I have a feeling we will sputter too early and have a difficult hole to dig ourselves out of. Dak probably throws the ball 40 times.

27-17 Bucs.

 

[Ranched]

Brady will toss for 300, Dak will toss for 300, & it’ll be an up-and-down fight throughout the third quarter. The problems on the Tampa Bay offensive front really will not matter, though.

It’s not like the Dallas D will be a brick wall, but it’ll hold up just enough late to get revenge for last year’s opener.

Dallas 31- 24 BOOM!

 

[Xeven]

We have to score on defense I think.

 

[cowboyec]

28-21 Dallas.

 

[Pass2Run]

Sure, but the dude looked like such a schmuck in his most recent press conference.

And . . . 27-24 Dallas.

 

[JJHLH1]

28-17, Tampa.

Too much GOAT, and we remain undisciplined.

Not only can he avoid the rush, but if anyone DOES touch him, he’ll get the flags, ESPECIALLY against those evil, penalty-prone Cowboys!

 

[tyke1doe]

If our offensive line was stable, I'd pick the Cowboys based on playing at home and Tampa's offensive line likely being worse than ours.
However, Tom Brady is on the other side, and he gets the ball out quicker than Dak.
The great equalizer in this game is Micah Parsons. Tampa's defense is good, but Parsons is dynamic.
I think he frees up Tank and others to tee off on Brady.
The other factor is I don't know how well we'll do on run defense. With their banged up line, I expect Tampa to utilize the running game more.
Furthermore, I'm not too confident in our receivers.
So ...

Tampa 20
Dallas 17

But that's an uncertain victory for the Bucs because it could go either way, i.e., Cowboys 20, Bucs 17. So, I'll go reverse psychology.

 

[DUO_CORE]

I’m just not sure:
Vegas has us as 1.5 point underdogs at home.

 

[blueblood70]

Who do you got?

There’s something in my gut that tells me we win this one. While our off-season has been ……boring and uneventful. The bucs have had it for worse with Brady being gone for two weeks and losing 3 offensive linemen. Not to mention, the bucs also lost gronk, brown and Godwin is dinged up. I’m calling a defensive showdown

20-17

cowboys

holy Cow 6 days,

can not believe it ..we are here prepping for game 1

revenge game..0-0 its all even

 

[ghst187]

31-17 Bucs. Brady too good, Dak not good enough.

about what I’m thinking…

Not exactly schoolboys, but we have to find a way to exploit the LBs or its going to be a very long night.

our defense also now on point, thye will sneed to overcome a lot as well...both teams having issues on the OL lost of run game, defense. STs, and low scoring i bet,..fast game.
