The Cowboys have a good roster. Their offense is in an unfortunate position without Dez Bryant or Tony Romo. Jason Witten is a timeless wonder. Joseph Randle is a legitimate running back when he's not dancing. Cole Beasley exceeds every unfair descriptor bestowed upon a small, white, slot receiver.
But Brandon Weeden, man. The offense is seriously limited with him at the helm. Defenses know when he's throwing just based on how he lines up behind center. He has no sense of when pressure is closing around him. He doesn't know how to maneuver the pocket. He has no touch on sideline throws. He struggles to go through his progressions.
And on defense, the Cowboys have a great roster, but they're built exactly for the Patriots to take advantage. A defense that is weak on passes to running backs and (if Sean Lee is out) tight ends, and a secondary that shows plenty of the same looks as Seattle? New England will be ready for this match-up.
This game would be entirely different if Dez and Romo were healthy. Entirely, completely different. With the current rosters, though, it's difficult to see the Cowboys offense managing to keep Dallas in the game.
Always nice to see the other side's point of view.
