Definitely bodes well. If Dez is out there I think we win going away. No way we're losing his first game back. Not a chance.

Fans in SEA are saying the same thing. There's a very good chance we lose this game, Dez or no.

Though I agree him coming back probably makes us the favorite to win this one in my mind. But only by a little bit. SEA is fighting for their season, too, and they are coming off a big win and heading into their bye week after this. They're going to come in playing strong and trying to take advantage of the relatively weak run defense we showed against the Giants.

So your saying theres not a chance we lose after what we have witnessed the last 4 weeks?

I doubt it. If I was a Seattle fan I wouldn't feel good about this game especially if Dez plays because of what's been a horrible fourth quarter defense, they haven't been nearly as good overall as previous years, and their offensive line has been a disaster this season.

Yeah the run defense stunk in the first half, but they cleaned it up in the second half. Seattle ran it well the last few weeks, but other than they've struggled just as much as Dallas had if not more.

Dez owned sherman last season. I remember one play sherman actually had to illegally trip dez to stop a TD

That "illegal trip" was probably the worst penalty call of the season last year, including Dez' catch.

He reached out to tackle him with his hand and got called for tripping. Still have no clue what the referee was thinking on that.

The Seahawks are incredibly weak at center and both guards. I think this could be a really low scoring, defensive battle.

Yeah no chance we lose if Dez is on the field Sunday.

We let two games slip away, but Dez Bryant is a dominant football player. He can and has single handily taken over a game many of times especially down in the red zone where Dallas has struggled.

You saw Terrance Williams pull his best Miles Austin impression and guys have struggled in congested and tight coverage. That's where Dez excels at best. He catches more contested balls than anyone.

The run game got cranked up finally and with Dez out there we face some light boxes and if we can continue to run it effectively and there's no reason to think we can't Dez will start seeing more one on one coverage last year after we established the run and will pounding teams on the ground.

I think it will be, too. But it's not going to be a gimme.

First of all, he caught 4 out of 10 targets for 63 yards and no touchdowns. I think every CB in the league would take that stat line against Dez. Second, he wasn't coming off of a six week hiatus. Lastly, Romo was throwing him the ball. Dez is an amazing receiver, but expecting him to come back and dominate a Richard Sherman in his first game, with Cassell throwing the ball, may be expecting a bit too much.

I actually don't remember him getting called for that. I remember him tripping dez with his leg because he completely missed the tackle. And there was no call
