You should just go to bed early Monday night and save yourself all the crying. You will be well rested and ready for school after the holiday weekend.
So will you after your eagles win

First down - run up the middle for 1.
Second down - run up the middle for -1
Third down - throw at Noah Brown into double coverage
Fourth down - punt

Probably a holding penalty or false start in there somewhere.

Rinse/Repeat
Perfect

We haven’t seen the play action roll out from Dak on this first play in awhile it seems. That’s what I would do to get Dak into a rhythm early.
It's useless they always have the TE covered, and the WR behind him is too close to complete a pass

Must be miserable for some of you.You take this stuff way to serious. Or maybe its just your coping mechanism. Be negative and then you wont be dissapointed. Enjoy the ride there are literally 18 other teams watching.

1st and 10
Dak either air mails a pass or throws a worm burner, missing the receiver for an easy pitch and catch.

2nd and 10
Zeke sees the hole but doesn’t have the speed to exploit it and gets one yard.

3rd and 9
Dak throws to Schultz for a 6-yard gain on 3rd down.

4th and 3
We punt.

I fully expect Tampa to come out playing 8 man fronts, with run blitzes on early downs.

I also fully expect the Moore will run into this front on first down and gain 0 or 1 yards. 2nd down and 9 the play will be a bubble screen or naked screen to CeeDee for 1 yards.

On 3rd down and 8, Dak will look for some pass route over the middle to CeeDee or Schultz which will be broken up, or he will dump it off is no one is wide open. 3 and out, Punt.

I think both Moore and Dak will be tentative early. Let's face it, the coaches have to be aware of Dak's awful INTs. We'll see if it makes them cautious, but I don't see how it couldn't. They will go into the game thinking they do not want Dak throwing the ball 50 times so they will try to run early and often.

If the Cowboys cannot establish some kind of run game early they are going to be in for a long day. If Dak throws 40 times we can expect at least 2 INTs, sacks and a fumble or two. Tampa has 44 sacks which means they can get pressure.

An interesting stat, Dallas and Tampa have two of the lowest Passes Defense totals in the league with only 59. The league leader is Jacksonville with 95. Tampa also has only 10 INTs. Dallas has 16. The two teams have similar passing yards allowed and rushing yards allowed totals. However, Dallas's pass defense is not the same going into this game as it was when Brown and Lewis were playing.

To win I think Dallas needs to be able to run the football, and put pressure on Brady.

Tampa Bay leads the league in passing attempts per game with 44. I think they will try to run against Dallas to take the pressure off Brady, but Dallas needs to find a way to stop the run and not let up on the pass rush, even if they give up a few 1st downs. I worry about Barr containing his side of the field when Fournette runs that way.

All I have to say is Tampa's run defense sucks so you figure it out from there but more importantly, I hope Kellen Moore figures it out!!!!

You forgot the opening kickoff. Turpin fields the kick in the endzone. He's indecisive, but comes out anyway, and gets hammered at the 17 yd line. On the play, blocking in the back by the receiving team. Half the distance to the goal. Boys take over at their own 8. Very typical.

Won the toss, elected to receive!!!!!! (Grrrr)


1. We come out and bootleg right to SHULTZ for 6
2. Zeke for 2
3. Heavy pressure from TB we just miss Gallup on a slant, in our most used Shotgun 3 wr to one side formation!
4. Punt!!

Your turn, if you're brave enough, you can predict our first series on defense as well, have fun!!
Zeke for 2 yards. Zeke for 3 yards. 3rd and long.............pressure, Zeke flares out of the backfield and is open for the first down, but for some reason he turns his back and ball bounces off his back. Punt.

Anyone see that series happen before?

Now this is what they should do:

Play fake to pollard. Pollard sneaks out through the line and catches short out pattern and takes it for 20 yards. First down.

That's a win for Dallas if Dak don't throw a pick 6 again.

Exactly. They are going to be all over everything within 8 yards of the LOS.

What you should do to at least make them question themselves is something like a flea flicker. Shouldn't be hard to fool them as everyone expects a run on 1st down. Toss it over their heads. Whether complete or not, it might make them a little tentative.
