0-2, we lost in 2011 at New England and 2012 at the Ravens. We covered the spread both times though, if that helps haha.


i am looking for consistency

lets not go out and do something crazy like win the game and upset our record

If Dallas has any mettle to them, they will respond to Eagles taking 1st place from them. They could also put Giants season in serious jeopardy. Its time of year for pretenders to step aside and for contenders to make a statement. Two weeks this team has had to prepare for this game. No excuses. Dallas then gets Raiders - so Dallas absolutely should be 7-5 heading into big monday night showdown with Bears in Chicago in week 14.

The Raiders didn't look too bad this past Sunday vs. the Texans. That dude Mcgloin has no problems airing it out. I no longer think the Oakland game is a sure thing. Especially the way we played the Vikings at home.

Cowboys beat Raiders and lose all other games until mathematically eliminated. Then they will win the rest if any are left.
This team is a disgrace and due primarily to a void in leadership. Players are accountable too but I can't tell where the poor leadership stops and the players start.

Beautifully put!

We'll win the game and this board will be hilarious afterwards. Everyone who acted like we have no shot to win will go into hiding.

The Giants have beaten NOBODY in their cute little 4-game win streak. Not saying the Cowboys are world-beaters at the moment themselves, but the Giants' streak doesn't scare me one bit.

Newsflash: despite what you may believe, the Cowboys aren't scared of the Giants. We're 2-1 in their new building. If Dez's pinkie landed inbounds last season, we'd have 3 straight wins vs them. And Romo threw 4 picks that game!

I expect the offense to get back on track and the D to do just enough. Cowboys 27, Giants 20.

Why does everyone here swing off Lee's nuts so much? The dude was getting torched in the passing game as well. I fully expect to see Manning play backyard football against this D. Romo & Garrett lay another egg on offense. This team has had 2 weeks to marinate on the turd they dropped @ New Orleans. They'll be rusty, which doesn't bode well for Romo and the glee club.

We haven't beaten anyway either. I am not scared of the Giants at all and quite frankly I find their play laughable. However, there isn't a team not named Jaguars that we should have any level of confidence against. We start every game with three disadvantages:

1) We will probably need to score at least 30 points. (maybe 40)
2) We will be outcoached until Herman Edwards gets back into the league.
3) JJ

Our D has played well in 4 games this year, and well enough (vs MIN) in another game. We held the Chiefs to 16, the Rams to 7, the Commanders to 16 and the Eagles to 3. So this notion that we MUST score 30-40+ isn't accurate. The Giants haven't scored 30+ in a game since Week 1... against us.

Even in their cute little 4-game win streak against 4 awful teams/QBs, they've scored 23, 15, 24, and 27 points. This coming against Minnesota (Freeman), Philly (Barkley), Oakland (Pryor) and Green Bay (Tolzien). Their offense isn't good.

Yes, the Giants did score 31 on us, but some of that was garbage-time (especially their last TD). Either way, if Eli gives us 3 more picks this week I'll gladly take that.

As for the overall team, the ONLY game we were not at least VERY competitive in was the Saints game. Just because it was our most recent game doesn't mean it's going to be a trend. Things change week-to-week in the NFL. Oh, plus Eli blows and isn't half the QB Drew Brees is. 12 TD and 17 INT on the year. Forgive me for not shaking in my proverbial boots. We'll win. Just have a feeling. :)

Lot of stats and numbers and I appreciate the info. Thanks. When you see the Cowboys, do you see any semblance of an identity that this team can continue to get better at or do they look like they start all over every week trying a new game plan? Do you know what the Giants are going to do? I do. They are going to throw the ball all over the field and you know the names. They will have success and deep IMO. Do you think we will pressure Eli consistently? Do you think this defense will turn over Eli 3-5 times this go round? Not can they? Do you think they will? If so, why?

I hope the Boys win and hope you are right. Believe me I won't hesitate to say I was wrong but the eye test for me says that I am looking at the worst defense and head coach combo that I have seen in recent memory.

Lissen . . . it is instructive to read my posts and threads and such because who else will tell you about Farmers Branch and teach you good english, huh? If a mod works in ka hoots with me who am I to say, "no keep me on 5star's ignore list!" That is counterproductive, as we well no.
So buck up and listen and learn. Yes it is not always pretty but where else can you get words from a genus who knows the Cowboys this well, huh? oh, you are putting me back on ign . . .

I don't know what kind of English they teach the kids down in Farmers Market, and I'm not sure it's a mod, maybe a glitch in the software? But, every time I log in to this site, the first thing I do is put you on ignore. And, the funny thing about this site is, I cannot even put myself on ignore! :mad:

As to FB schools, they are actually pretty good ones. We half adult education and auto and diesel training at night schools and reading riding and numbers education for the children.

As to your ignore button problems, TELL IT TO THE MARINES!

I cant see the above about the trailer hitch since I put you on ignore.

I need to report this. Something is wrong around here with this software.

Let's try and put each other on ignore at the same time. ufcrules can put everyone on ignore, why can't we?

So, lets try and put each other on ignore, OK?


Ready? On three...1...2...3...Go!

If the offense is unable to pick up their game enough to at least go toe to toe with the opponent's offense, then this season is over. This defense is not going to win very many games so its up to the offense to carry the team the rest of the way.
