Early Dallas vs. Denver predictions

Wow, some of the more distinguished posters in here are not even giving the Cowboys a chance. And I've heard the word blowout more than I would have liked. What gives guys?

In case you haven't noticed, the Cowboys have not been blown out since last year. :rolleyes: Every loss has come down to the wire. If we lose, it won't be any different. It sure the hell won't be like 2003's Thanksgiving game against the Dolphins. We just have too much talent on both sides of the ball.

Cowboys - 31
Broncos - 20
 
JJ's analysis:The Cowboys seem to be building more and more momentum each week. They will have a super test on Thanksgiving against the Broncos. Drew Bledsoe is having a great year despite the fact that Detroit took away his deep passing game on Sunday.

I can see Dallas coach Bill Parcells saying to himself, "My defense is good enough; so I'm going to just pound the ball." He can be really stubborn. But you could tell he really wanted to get Julius Jones untracked in this ball game.

My analysis
Drew Bledsoe's passing game vs. the 28th ranked passing defense. I like our odds if Parcells doesn't decide to "pound the ball" like he did against Detroit. I like JJ and MB but this game is tailor made for Drew's arm.

I would have said the same thing, but I'm not a journalist!! I think he has it just right, I just hope BP feels the same way!
 
Christ people, in 2001, we only lost to them by two points on US Thanksgiving when we had Ryan Leaf as the QB, Troy Hambrick as the RB (I think Smith was injured in the game) and bonehead Dave Campo who thought we had a better chance to score two TDs and a FG in 10 minutes than two TDs with two two point converts. He went for two PATs and we lost by two points.

Our team now is miles ahead of that team and the Broncos are still basically the same.

It won't be easy but we are equal to them and are at home, therefore, we win.

We are NOT equal to the Broncos, and any thought of such things is blind homerism

Even if we win, we still wont be a better football team, we will simply have outplayed them for one game.
 
Heaven forbid I see the world through blue and white eyes. Then again, I shouldn't expect any more from you, after all you think the Giants having nine home games this year is not an advantage.

I have watched a number of Bronco games this year, I'm not sure why so many of you are all excited by them.

I think you should wait until after the game to state something like that post as a fact and not an opinion... :cool:

No one is "excited" about them, its that they are the only team in the NFL that does the SAME damn thing every week an NO ONE can stop them. They impose their will on you in every facit of the offensive gameplan.

And New York has the same record as us, yet has played an extra home game. Yes, I see your point, HUGE advantage :rolleyes:

The Broncos are 8-2 in the AFC (The far superior conference). We are 7-3 in the NFC (The conference where 9-7 might get you into the playoffs).

We would NOT be 7-3 if we played in the AFC.

Since when are the Broncos a dynasty?

We're every bit as good as the Broncos, and when we in fact beat them, our records will be the same.

Any thoughts differently are blind reverse-homerism.

Is that like Double Secret Probation?

Well, I've never heard of Double Secret Probation, or even Secret Probation.

But if it means you have a bias against your own team because you don't want to be known as a homer, then it's exactly the same.

I just threw in the "blind" part because he did.
 
Tatum Bell is injured for DEN, we are at home, this game isnt really important to DEN, considering they are the 2nd best team in the AFC behind INDY, The defense is playing well, we only allow 11.4 PPG AT HOME, and i just have this feeling, the same feeling i get when we are about to play good teams, i have a feeling that we'll win, and NO im not being a homer, its just a feeling i get, and when the games over, the outcome is usually a win, with all that said, i say we get tons on crowd noise, disrupting DEN's plan and we win
DAL-17
DEN-14
in overtime

These teams are too good to finish in regulation
 
Cowboys 24 Denver 20

The Cowboys are due to play a great game. They were lucky to win the last two, but those were the games we should have lost, not this one. It's not like we can't get back on track and keep winning. This game for all intents and purposes clinches a playoff spot, barring disaster.

How do you figure this? The NFC has a better combined record. Dallas opponents thusfar's record: 50-50. They have played 6 home games and are 6-0, but their average home game was versus a team that had a losing record. They have played 4 road games and lost 2. Their average home score: 29-14 win. Their average road score 21-21.

Dallas average home score: 23-11 win
