Gameday forecast: Wind and Rain

[CWR]

Allen has looked more like himself lately, and he's a much better runner than Dak.

The QB who can convert 3rd downs will win.

"Runner" being the key. Yes I agree on third downs. I dont know how bad it will be come kickoff, but it's shaping up to be a war of the trenches.

 

[Praxit]

Might need to pull out the Luepke-mobile and run the Bills down.

.lol..good idea

 

[Motorola]

I was hoping for clear weather and in the 40's. But, regardless of the rain and wind, Dallas needs to play sound turnover free football and find a way to win this road game.

I'm sure the pundits will move the goal post if Dallas wins. "The Bills are .500 and are barely in the playoff race." Blah, blah, blah. It would still be a good win on the road against a talented football team. Let's get a win on Sunday, folks!

Stop tuning in - and thus referring to sports media aka 'pundits' regarding this successful Cowboys season.
Dallas win in Buffalo this Sunday = Cowboys remaining in first place for the NFC East Title - and still in contention for the #1 NFC playoff seed.

"Not going to be terrible."

 

[Diehardblues]

I don’t see us beating Buffalo and Miami. This week looks like the more losable game to me.

 

[EST_1986]

The weather will be similar to the opening game against the Giants. So when Dak has subpar numbers he will get crucified like he did opening night because of the two dropped touchdowns.

Us Dak haters haven't had anything to ***** about in a long time so...

Tony Pollard and Rico its your time to shine.

 

[_sturt_]

In the course of 24-ish hours, things have went from "we completely dodged the Buffalo weather bullet"...

to "damn, no we didn't"...

to "naw, it won't be too bad at all."

 

[Flamma]

The wind is the biggest concern when playing in Buffalo. The stadium bowl is set below the ground level, and the wind cuts through and across the field like a knife. I don't think that the rain is supposed to be particularly heavy - just steady. Winning the line of scrimmage and limiting Allen's scrambling will be key in this game.

I think you're going to be correct. As of right now the worst part of the storm is going to hit at around 7pm Est on Sunday.

 

[Rockport]

Another good test for the Cowboys. On the road vs a good team and in inclement weather.

 

[GORICO]

its been updated...rain not 100% but wind 17 miles an hour

 

[GORICO]

oh goody

rain not 100%

 

[Cydios]

Well.. last time we were in that area with the same conditions, we won 40-0

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Running team, this is not the 2016 team but we will need to be able to show we can run it a little to pose a threat.

 

[Mark]

I think you're going to be correct. As of right now the worst part of the storm is going to hit at around 7pm Est on Sunday.

4th quarter. With any luck, we’ll be up by three TDs by then.

 

[JBS]

We ain’t a running team. Not good. We need the pass to run

Buf is even worse running the ball than we are. But Allen’s ball cuts through the wind

Friday night update from Buffalo local TV...



Wunderground still predicting a grand total of 1/10 to 2/10 of an inch of rain for the entirety of the game.... and still predicting winds less than 10 mph.

 

[Motorola]

Buffalo has lost 3 of their last 5. They have been pretty meh all year. It will definitely be a tough game as NFL road games are tough and we SEEM to struggle on the road..

2023 Dallas Cowboys so far - undefeated at home..3-3 away.

 

[Motorola]

they are definitely a better run team not including Allen.

Bills rushing for the 2023 season to date, including Allen -
380 attempts for 1586 yards = 4.4 yds per carry, 15 TDs

Cowboys rushing for the 2023 show to date -
373 attempts for 1542 yards = 4.1yds per carry, 12 TDs

Only stat that makes Buffalo's run game significantly better than Dallas' ---- Bills' 112 rushes resulting in first downs, to Cowboys' 89.

 

[JoeKing]

Given the weather conditions, FGs may be limited, so the offense has to do a better job of finishing drives with touchdowns. They shouldn't be counting on Aubrey to kick a long FG for a win.
