We certainly aren't with Martin and Tyron out, which appears to be the case.
stop the negativity as they also might be playing without one to three offensive lineman. sometimes you have to trust the backups. If i Remember correctly we had three backup linemen in the Arizona game and we ran pretty damn well.... didn't do anything else well but we ran the damn football...

1. Dallas 20 vs. Miami 24

2. Bonus 1: Predict the longest offensive play of the game (within 10 yards).....65

3. Bonus 2: Lamb or Hill: will either, both or neither get 100 yards receiving (name the either, if your choice)?..........neither

4. Bonus 3: Predict the total combined number of unused timeouts in the game (must be exact). ....2

I'm feeling far from comfortable about playing on a grass field in Miami with Tyron Smith missing, Hankins out and Steele being a turnstile at RT. I'll have to admit to feeling the Cowboys are about to blow another chance at finding success, vs. tough Dolphins competition. Miami 31, Cowboys 27.

Negativiy is one thing. Nothing I posted is not an indication that Dallas will lose. There's a difference between negativity and reality.

And I'm reminding you that it was one of the best run production games in in our year from Pollard and the whole crew nearly 180 yards Pollard had 120 and then we did this with three backup offensive lineman so I'm telling you that your statement was untrue because that's not always a fact just because your backups are in that you can't function it affected the pass game for sure but hell our past games been affected with our starting offensive line they got manhandled too many times this year by a four man line so backups or starters it's all been the same....

That's my point saying not missing so and so is not always the case we're watching backup quarterbacks I think this year must be a record on how many games they're winning and how many games were both teams are playing their backups and some of them still have a shot at the playoffs.....

So while it feels bad now, we dont know jhow these subs will respond.,. I'm more worried about the play calling on both sides of the ball that's just a weird game plan and weird adjustments last week by both the head coach who is also the play caller and our defensive coach who seemed unwilling to change his schemes

I mean if you watched all the lack of motion lack of creativity on offense and the inability to adjust and play a more straight up defense to stop the run it's just head scratching and I don't think it's gonna be the players that lose a game today I think it's the coaches this is up to the coaches not only to create a game plan but to be able to just in the game and do everything it takes to win not give up and go Oh well the game plan didn't work so we're just gonna go ahead and take a loss...

Not disputing that, but I would note that Arizona is currently 31st in the league in yards per game rushing allowed.

So it's probably more a case of Arizona being bad at defending the run vs. Dallas being good at running the ball.

But we were playing with three backup offensive lineman that's the point by the way show me where the Miami Dolphins rank I mean I don't even look this stuff up because I don't care you play whoever 's in front of you I'm just saying there's a lot of backups that do really well and from what I've seen from our lineman they're not Chaz green that's for sure they look pretty solid to me and maybe getting in some more games now it's gonna be beneficial down the road for all of them but I thought they all looked pretty good hell I'm surprised Richard doesn't get more time...

Most every game is about matchups. How good are the Arizona defensive linemen vs. Dallas' backup offensive linemen? Or does that mean that Dallas' backups are better than the starters?

Wouldn't take that one game as evidence that Dallas is good a running the ball. And Miami is currently 4th in the league in yards per game rushing, Dallas is 12th.

At least weather won't be a factor, low to mid 70's and no rain (forecast). Think we'll see both teams run well....
