How will the Cowboys beat the Raiders

[PaEagleHater]

and that 6'7 tight end how we gonna handle that?

 

[Rogerthat12]

the best we can i suppose how else?

 

[TruBlueCowboy]

Probably going to lose. Raiders are 0-3 too so this is a now or never type game for them. I can't see the slower Henry, the below average Davis, the poor pass coverage Roy, and our inexperienced linebackers battling off those receivers.

The Raiders defense is worse than ours

 

[Novacek84]

The Raiders defense is worse than ours

After today's pass defense, Moss+Porter= Oh, boy!!

i couldn't see the cowboys game other then the updates at nfl.com. the raiders looked tough against the eagles.

Well, I wouldn't have guessed we are Indie, all offense and no defense, but what the heck! Cowboys just outscore them 45-42!

 

[Rogerthat12]

We can only go with what we have but I do think we need more pressure up front (sounds all too familiar) and need better saftey play in coverage. Henry had a bad day but he will not repeat the performance..but Bill may need to get more involved in callin g this defense..something apparently is not working properly

 

[SkinsHokieFan]

You guys will beat the Raiders

Norv's teams always find a way to lose, ALWAYS

 

[dallasblue05]

when davis was replaced with Pile we never saw the same problems.

 

[Sarge]

Whatever happens next week.................take the 'over.'

We have to get some pressure on Kerry Collins. He has too many people to play catch with for us to play bend don't break defense. I would like to see us blitz like we did against the Chargers and 3qtrs against the Skins.

The Raiders have a bad OL. Get to Kerry Collins. He is the first immobile QB we'll be facing this year. Moss is scary. Porter is a nice WR opposite Moss. Get to the QB and they're irrelevant.

Even better, the Raiders have an awful front 7. Only 2 sacks in the first 3 games. Witten could have another big day if Bledsoe and Payton is smart enough to use him.

The secret in Beating the Raiders will be on offense next week. We already know they are going to score big, we just have to score bigger. I know that sounds elementary, but if you go in with the attitude that the Offense has to carry us once in a while, maybe you take some pressure off the Defense. ANd who knows, maybe Moss pulls a hammy or sumpin'!

 

[big dog cowboy]

The key for us is (maybe all year the way it looks now) going to be our pass rush. We gotta get better pressure.

By pressuring Collins, that is the only chance we have to slow them down.

 

[Gordon]

The Raiders have played arguably 3 of the top 5 teams in the league and kept them all close.

I was much more confident about this game 2 weeks ago then I am right now. It's going to be very similar to this SF game, just gotta limit the turnovers and contain Moss and Porter. If LaMont Jordan equals his performance against the Eagles, we should be able to blitz the hell out of Collins. Living in NJ, I've seen a lot of Collins, when you hit him, he has a tendency to fumble and/or force the ball to a WR, resulting in INTs. He throws a hell of a deep ball and fade in the endzone in goal-to-go situations, which we struggled with this week.

This is true.

We sure as hell can't stay in our base 3-4 when the Raiders go 3-wide like we have been-- we'll just get killed.
