I'll be shocked if we win today

Reminds me of the Stephen McGee game a few years ago.

Yeah but McGee had issues just completing a forward pass. Even if Sanchez plays a half, he at least can competently run an NFL passing offense.

Right, but their starters will be in all game. How many of ours will be in by the second half?
I don't think we win necessarily but people keep talking like this is a preseason game. Roster limitations means you'll see a lot more starters than you think. Sure we won't see all our stars get a full compliment if snaps. But most everyone else will approach normal.

I care less about winning and more about surviving, health-wise. I don't care about the rookie rushing record, either. Our team has bigger goals in sight this season.

Who of note do expect to still be on the field on offense, come the second half?

Im really happy to have a good old fashioned NOON game today. Prime time is fun once in awhile, but waiting all day for weeks on end sucks. It also keeps me up late because Im way too amped after a game to go to sleep. Plus I cant miss out on the post game I told you our defense doesnt suck threads.

Mainly oline players, possibly sprinkles of Beasley too. I think we get in as many back ups as possible but if you dont have at least 10 offensive line players active you obviously can rest the entire starting unit.

If the Eagles cannot beat the Cowboys with half the Cowboy's defensive starters out, the rage will be epic.

Looking forward to it if it happens.

Right but likely Dak, Zeke, Dez and Witten will all be out, so there won't be much if anything happening on offense in the second half. And on D, there are so many already sitting this one out, I'm not expecting much there in any quarter.

for some teams it is since they were eliminated last week from making the playoffs.......Cleveland on the other hand have been doing that all season

Dallas succeeded in full roster rotations and pegging with film, just what they are expecting from a developmental player. Brown sure came through, for example.

True, I think more than anything it will be interesting to see Romo on the field again. We really shouldn't be able to compete this game but the way these guys are playing as a team I still have some irrational faith they will put together a decent ball game.

I was happy our last prime time game was MNF over Christmas break. I was able to sleep in late on Tuesday. But man, the previous two weeks were painful the next morning.

I'm happy for an early game. I'm still in my pajamas and chilling.

Good performances from key backups is more important than the win.
