First prediction for next week vs. New Orleans

[coult44]

Red will hear it from everyone this week, including Jerry about how we abandoned the running game so quickly. Even if we prove we can't run the ball 2 yards next week, he will run more than usual just to prove a point. I've seen this before from him. Common sense will be thrown out the window and even if it hurts us, he will do what ever he has to do to get the media and JJ off his back..

Good grief

Also, because the Saints can be run on, whereas MIN was an invitation to throw the ball a lot.

We were attacking an awful secondary. If we didn't have a number of blatant drops, we could have hung 40 on them.

By you. In this thread.

Who knows depends on Murray's and Randles health. But I would love to really get Dunbar involved in this game. We do not match up will defensively with the saints at all. So I expect them to really hang it on Dallas.

 

[cowboys1981]

I expect a shoot out!

 

[coult44]

Some of you amaze me. DEFEND, DEFEND, DEFEND, and then DEFEND some more. EVERY FREEKIN person in the world is wrong except for y'all right??? There isn't a person who covers the Dallas Cowboys, or the NFL that isn't talking about how the Cowboys completely abandoned the run today. Y'all are laughable!!!!

What's amazing is how much crying there is after a win.

Prediction - Cowboys win, but many Cowboys' fans have a severe meltdown because there weren't enough running plays.

Jets hung almost 200 yards rushing on the Saints today, Cowboys better have a run heavy gameplan next week. Also Bree's weapons will be limited: Sproles w/concussion, Colston inactive (knee) and Graham playing with a torn plantar (albeit playing very well).

Saints are far from unbeatable, even by this inconsistent Coboys team.

The Saints are having a bit of bother with rushing attacks at present so that would seem a prudent course given the alternatives. It really is simple though...harrass Brees constantly or get torched. Wilber, Hatcher, Ware, Selvie and Brown will need to give their best next weekend, especially if Wilcox and Claiborne are still out.

What I suspect will happen is a very loud NO crowd which leads to a ton of Cowboy penalties. False starts, Tony running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. That kind of game.

Really? I think we're going to get a fairly clean game, with both offenses slugging it out. I don't expect a blowout in either direction and think we'll end up seeing another heartbreaking Cowboys loss to a good offensive team. Stealing one in NO wouldn't shock me, though, either, if Ware is back.

This is one where our lack of CB depth might kill us, though.

Seems like these are kind of games we show up for. Here's to hoping.

I think we'll take a lot of dumb penalties & Drew will rip us apart.

Hope not but they have to be confident they can throw on us at will.

This team doesn't get ripped apart very often. Maybe, if we turn the ball over too much. The Broncos threw at will on us, too. It won't be any worse than that. We'll just need to keep pace if that happens.

Huh? Aren't we last in pass defense? Maybe I'm missing your point. Well obviously I am.

Oh, no. They're going to throw it all over us. I just think we'll see a high scoring game, but I don't expect us to get blown out. We typically play well against good teams and just struggle to close them out. And this Saints game will have both teams up, for sure, since there're connections between the coaching staffs and some respect between the two organizations. I think it should be one of the most enjoyable games of the year, honestly. I do think we probably lose this one, though.
