Miami runs the ball very well off tackle.

And they do it with speed, Dallas will need to make better adjustments this Sun than they did against the Bills.

The defense will get after teams also. It is going to be an interesting matchup.

The Cowboys defense had not allowed a 100-yard rusher all season, but they gave up 104 to Cook in the first half alone

We got gashed in Buffalo it's going to happen once a season, but we are not as bad with run defense as people think. They key will be to score first get ahead and Tua will make a mistake. If we get behind 10 points or more we will lose.

Agree but we can’t let up since they are on a losing streak now but have no faith whatsoever in the gnats. Just looked at their schedule, 2 home against the gnats and cards and last game away against gnats. It’s over.
Eagles are having team chemistry issues, Jalen Hurts questioned their commitment after he threw 2 4th quarter INTs. You think that won't make some teammates look sideways at him? Their defense stinks and Hurts is not playing well so anything is possible. Cardinals have Kyler Murray. I'm not guaranteeing they lose a game but I wouldn't guarantee they won't either. They weren't blowing out teams when they were 10-1 they were barely winning and their magic come from behind victories seem to have run out. Giants had won 3 in a row before losing to in New Orleans.

I just don't see it. We can't cover Tyreek and their scheme will run all over us, just like SF
I think scheme wise they are pretty similar to SF. It will be a good test to see where we stand against such an opponent as SF may loom in our near future. I'm looking for a good game by our guys this week as they need a get back game and they can stun the haters at the same time. DQ better have a plan for Tyreek especially.

I know it seems far fetched but they are not physical like Buffalo and the best team they've beaten all year has been Denver week 3 who in the beginning of the season were awful. Yes I know it's in their house and I'm very aware of our road struggles but it's not just one sided they are a test for us we are very much a test for them as well. Both teams will have a lot to prove. Hill is going to get his but I CeeDee will get his as well. I do not believe they will be able to hold this offense down like Buffalo did.

The two blowout loses we've suffered have been against teams that just beat us up. That is not Miami they are a finesse team.

The Titans were able to come into Miami and beat them just a week ago with a rookie QB.
I support this message.

We absolutely are a bad run defense and that goes back years and years that we remain the same. Poor tackling contributed to Sundays debacle in not stopping the run but don't fool yourself we are not built to stop the run but one to rush the qb.

One 100 yard rusher the entire season and it was Cooks.

Hankins being out is a fair point though that hurts.

If we can get ahead they won't be able to stay committed to running the ball though. I usually cringe when we take the ball first on a coin flip but I say take the ball first get ahead 7-0 maybe some things happen and we get ahead 10-0 or 14-0. First team to lead by 10 points wins IMO.

We will lose in Miami and it won't even be close. We will beat Detroit, but the Commanders game will be meaningless, so Cooper Rush and Deuce Vaughn will lose that one too.

The rubber is about to meet the road but we have to take care of business on our end and let the chips fall were they may.

Unless we lose to both Miami and Detroit it's not possible for the Washington game to be meaningless. We just need to go 2-1 and Eagles lose one game. So we can beat Detroit and Washington and they can lose just one game and we win the division.

Gift? Really doesn't change anything....Philly still has to lose again. Which they won't.
Their team is in rebuild.

Just for Jimmy going to Miami from Dallas, this fan is still ready to kick butt there.

What times are the respective games the last week of the season?

That is our MO. Get ahead and make them pass, this defense stopped the run ok most of the year but remember the formula was followed in most all of those games. It's when it gets flipped and they determine to run against us that it was exposed. Horrible lack of tackling contributed heavily to Cooks success as well. Could of been a anomaly, a one game off but was eerily remanence of Arizona.

We made Cook look like Gale Sawyers, best game all season.

It's happened more than once this season. Arizona, San Fran, and Buffalo rushed for over 600 yards and the Cowboys got rolled each time. Whether one player gets 100 yards isn't the indicator.

Dallas is in the bottom half of the league in rush yards allowed per attempt. It's the weakness of this team. The only way to protect it is to play from in front.

Agree, you have 3 players one being the QB all rush for 50 yards and you just got gashed for 150 yards or more.
