Do u guys really think we can beat Cincy and Pitts?

[Zman5]

Cincy.. No but Pitt yes.

 

[TheIceman]

No.

i'll enjoy this eagles win and sweeping them because i really hate the eagles

but unless we play sound football we won't beat any team other than washington and thats a big maybe

Hahahahaha. I can't believe you watched RG3 and their speed WRs demolish our defense and think Washington is the least of the teams left....This team might lose out.

We are going to get beat like we stole something next week. As for the Steelers, if Big Ben plays its an auto loss. If Batch plays, its 50/50.

 

[Hoofbite]

Like almost every other game this season, Dallas will likely play them well enough to stay in it, overcome yet another first half deficit but I think the Cincy DL is probably going to win out against the Dallas OL. The OL is a mess.

If somehow Dallas could get get just average OL play they could win both games but the awful display that we've seen isn't going to cut it.

Combined with the recent slump the defense has been in every since the Atlanta game and Dallas will be hard pressed to pull both of them out.

If the defense doesn't fix itself, they're going to get blasted against New Orleans and RG3 will eat them alive again, nullifying anything that might happen over the next two weeks.

Every week is gut check at this point. Time for the OL to sack up and quit making Romo run for his life. Time for the defense to quit letting these free running WRs get deep on them.

Secondary and OL have been ugly spots over the last few weeks. Secondary for the last couple games not looking much better than this time last year. 2nd verse starting to sound like the first. Time to change that tune.

Yes we can

There is no such thing as an auto loss in the NFL.

Aside from Free, who was a human blocking sled, the OL played quite well tonight. Livings was absolutely pwning Fletcher Cox and the Eagles interior, and TSmith playing with a gimpy ankle made Trent Cole largely invisible for the night.

It's amazing how much even a 80% (at best) Murray is so much better than what we've been throwing out there at RB. Garrett's blind faith that Felix still had gas in the tank, when he was obviously washed up in training camp, really hurt the Cowboys this season.

 

[Smith22]

Cinci and Pitt both have elite defensive lines, and as long as Doug Free is in the lineup they are going to target him. Romo will constantly be under pressure from the right side and it will probably get progressively worse once they start stunting and bringing more than 3/4 on blitzes.

on the other side, McCray is an enormous liability in the secondary. AJ Green will have to be the main focus and that could open up opportunities for Gresham and their 2WR and 3WR.

i think we'll have to outscore both teams to win, but that all hinges on the running game (Murray's health) and the o-line (Doug Free mainly)

spot on post. the offense will need to carry us from here on out. Garrett needs to send more help to Doug free's side ASAP.

The OL will have to play their best game of the season to keep Romo off the ground. Cincy brings the best pass rush in the entire league. Zimmer likes to bring the blitzes so communication up front will be huge.

Murray returning gives me some hope. Sadly the defense at this point concerns me more than the offense. 2 weeks in a row we've gotten gashed in the running game. BJGE is another tough strong runner who will give us problems. Then there's AJ Green who is the best WR we'll face all season.

I think we can play with Cincy but ultimately we'll make too many miscues on the road.

Pitt? No shot. You have to assume Ben will be back and they'll be in playoffs-mode. Nothing we've shown all season realistically gives me reason to believe we can beat a good team like Pitt. This one could get ugly.

 

[fanfromvirginia]

I don't know if we beat both, one or neither... I just don't see us running the table.

Agreed. Running the table is extremely unlikely from a statistical perspective: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16.

If we were on a roll you could up the probabilities significantly but we aren't. Add to that the fact that our longest win streak of the season is a whopping two and I'd say there is almost no chsnce at all.

 

[Howardlittleton64]

that we can beat Cincy AND Pitts?? Or either of them, for that matter??

No we won't. We barely beat an awful Eagles team. In truth, I doubt this team wins again this year.

 

[CrownCowboy]

Pittsburgh is nothing special. If they were as good as they or their fans thought they were then we shouldn't of even had a season and crowned them. Unfortunately, we are nothing special either and tend to find ways to lose games at home, with the exception of last night.

I don't see a way we can beat Cincy on the road. I mean, if they turn the ball over 5 times and it's one of those types of games, then yes, we could pull it off. I just don't see it.

I also do not see a way that our defense stops New Orleans and Drew Brees. I don't think they'll be able to stop us but still, it'll be hard to watch.

 

[dallasdave]

Cincy.. No but Pitt yes.

Thers is a thread close to this one that says "Newman" That is the key to beating Cincy.

Line up Dez on Newman's side and go at him every other play. Newman can't cover Dez or tackle Dez.

 

[Everson24]

To beat the Steelers we will have to hope that our offense plays great and that the Steelers turn the ball over numerous times. After watching the Steelers destroy the Ravens offensive line yesterday, I see no way that our line will be able to hold up. Dick Lebeau also has his corners playing more aggressive bump and run coverage so it is very difficult to find an open receiver quickly. I'm afraid that game is going to be our worst of the season.

 

[rwalters31]

Cincy? Yes, Pitt? Possibly. Philly and KC played Pitt down to the wire. There is no reason we can't.

We are so inconsistant I can't conclusively say we will or won't beat either.

Cincy and Pitt have far better Defenses than the Eagles and we just squeaked by. I think we have as much chance as a Snow Ball in He _ _.

Now for those who believe in Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy then maybe.

 

[DFWJC]

that we can beat Cincy AND Pitts?? Or either of them, for that matter??

Yes, they can. Can and will are very different things.

I wouldn't bet on it....guess I'd avoid the bet altogether and hope for the best.

It's not like Pittsburgh or Cincy are juggernauts. But both are good, and at Cincy especially seems like a huge challenge. They're rolling now.

Honestly, I fear for Romo's health in those two games.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Yes, the Cowboys can win. First, they must figure out how to stop the run and second, they need to stop the drive-killing penalties.

 

[Doomsday101]

that we can beat Cincy AND Pitts?? Or either of them, for that matter??

Yes they can win those games. Both will be tough games
