Is it already written? Cowboys lose a fifth?

Last week an UDFA was gashing us up the middle. This week we face Marshawn and Turbin - tell me they are not licking their chops to bust us up inside. Our recievers can't get off the press - against anyone ! Legion of boom, who hold, smack, pretty much get away murder in the backfield. What chance does anyone not named Dez have of getting open ?
No run stuffing DT (still pisses me off, can't get over that) can't get separation from DB's.
I think overall, we will play better than last week, but think it's a tall order to expect a win.
Then we will see how people feel at 2-5.

Well said. As Bo Jackson says, "Strong!"

seattle will win this game. they want payback for losing last years game when everyone predicted that they would win. now this week they are predicted to win again and they will not let a matt cassell offense beat them. I see a 24-6 win with cassell turning it over atleast two more times. I also see a pick six touchdown from there defense.

This is when you need the O-line to go into bully mode and power run at these guys and demoralize them. I hope Jones can hold down the TE like he did against NE. Keep the QB in the pocket. And yes, hope McClain and Lee play better. Last week was the worst game I can recall Lee playing (At least to the first look eyes).

Also, hope you don't get too many more ducks, some rust is knocked off of our QB and WRs play to the end of their route because this QB seems like he'll let it loose.

Oh, and Ty Crawford showing up in a big way would be great.

-6 means Vegas thinks the difference between the Cowboys led by their QB3 and Seahawks is just -3 adjusting for home field advantage.

I suspect the Cowboys would be favored if Romo was playing.

Interesting if nothing else.

We're the home team. -6 for Seattle in Dallas means we're actually +9 since we're spotted 3 points.

Seattle is coming in on a high (Calm down potheads). They roughed up a divisional opponent, albeit a reeling Niners team, but it was impressive on both sides of the ball. Now their sites are set on yet another reeling team with perhaps some revenge on their minds considering what we did to them last year in their unbeatable house.

So is it already written for a team that can't even get off the tarmac without their two leaders, Romo and Dez? Or does this running game with DMac rising from the ashes like a Phoenix finally take flight, along with a slowly improving defense say, "Enough is enough!" and take back our pride, confidence, and execution that has been MIA since losing our two beloved All-Pros.

One way or another, we'll find out if this team has any resolve. Our backs are firmly against the wall and the chips are stacked against us.

Feel free to make your predictions and vent.

The Seahawks offense was anything but impressive.
