Can't go sleepless in Seattle though. They will be desperate at 0-2 and they have a few guys who may be back off injury including Wagner. Winnable game for us? Yep. Losable? Yep. Still, the Seahwaks have really fallen big time in two short years. They still have Wilson and the Bears showed the formula, jail break pass rush and make him really uncomfortable. We got the horses for that
It's not going to be easy but Denver and Chicago showed the blue print on how to stop Seattle's offense. Their line might be worse then the Giants. My worry is are we going to score enough points in Seattle.

Seahawks may be desperate— but their OL is a massive achilles heel. The Dallas DL can wreck the game for sure.

Having insights from Richard could be key to disrupting Russell as well. Throw in a short travel week off a physical loss— and I think these are two teams heading in different directions in 2018.

I don’t think the Dallas offense will explode for 30+... but I think they will continue to find an identity and a rhythm as a unit that does enough to win games

We'll score 9 they will score 6. Both teams decide that field goals is the way to go and their kickers need the practice ;)

Isn't that always the way. Pay QB big and watch drop off. NE's saving grace? Tommy plays for less ;). Stock pile that cap space SJ, you're gonna need it

Rookie wage scale began in 2012. Prior to that QB's coming into the league could negotiate freely. Russel Wilson is the only QB to win a super bowl on a rookie contract since the wage scale was implemented. Denver, Pittsburgh, Giants, and Packers and obviously the Patriots have all won with expensive starting QB's. So, it hasn't always been like this........the strategy shifted for teams drafting franchise QB's and Seattle was the blueprint. Worked for the Eagles. Rams and Bears went all in this past off season ect

Save the 2nd round pick in case we need to sweeten a pot for a potential trade up in next years draft for a QB........you know if the Dak thing doesn't end up working out. Plus our secondary (kavon and the goat) is already playing at a high level.
We've got two back ups already

The Giants had the bullets (OBJ, Shepherd, Ingram, Barkley) but lacked the pistol (Eli). The Seahawks have the pistol (Wilson) but lack the bullets. Both have iffy O-lines. Of course we know about Seattle's defense, even ET can't make it great. Should be an interesting game

I think Cowboys can go into Seattle and win. The defense in Seattle is not the same legion of boom they once were and I think Dallas will be able to run on them and make plays down field on them. Main thing Cowboys defense must continue to play as they have.

well...they have 2 good bullets. Dissly and Lockett. We better watch them. Jaylon or whomever covers Dissly better be on their A game.
And Brandon Marshall. Tell you what Rayman, I'm liking our secondary against those three. Chidobe, Jones and Brown have been playing well. Safety play has been good too. One of these games we may even get a take away from that group

agree. Forgot about Marshall. They got Penny..he's another good player. So they have the weaponry..but like the Gents,a putrid oline. We have an opportunity here to get 2 wins in a row.

The Giants problems begin with the OL. Its a group playing as bad any in the league right now.
The 2 areas teams can ill afford poor play..QB AND OLINE. Your right,thats the Giants. This week...we will play an all pro QB that's elusive and heady. That can mask a terrible oline. We better be ready.He is capable of making us look very foolish quickly.We could be down 21-0 early if we come out slow.They are in desperation mode.

Seattle will be playing lights out, as their season is over if they lose. Home game, must win, will be a tough game. That said, on paper, I feel like we align up well against Seattle. I like our chances in this game, but it will be super tough playing against a good Seattle team with their backs against the wall and they are at home.
