Listening to Baltimore radio today

[followthestar]

No earth-shattering news to say the Balt. media has accepted that the Cowboys are a better team and should win the game, but some callers on the show were hopeful for the upset. Overall, they seem to think Flacco is a good but not great QB, that their defense needs a great effort to stop Zeke, and they were a bit worried about Dez having a monster game as they have nobody to match up well with him. Not a very optimistic tone up there. Lets hope it pans out that way. At some point we are due for a letdown game perhaps, but the chemistry right now is a beautiful thing to see, and its also possible we win out. No. 1 seed would be so nice, and one game at a time will get us there...

Lol guy at work said flacco is a hofer. I was like he's not even a top 10 qb.

 

[Zman5]

Most of their fans think that they can limit Zeke to 50-70 yards and that will make Dak struggle against their defense. And that's the main reason they think they will win.

Zeke had 51 yards averaging 2.6 YPC against the Gints and Dak did fine in his first NFL game. In fact he was two drops away from winning the game.

I don't know it seems like last game every single facet of this team Miss fired in the first half from blown plays to ridiculous penalties and yet we still pulled it out.

If we were playing Seattle or New England I would be a bit more concerned but this team believes in itself a scary amount and the young players enjoy themselves immensely I don't know I'm just not worried for some reason

 

[TRUTH87]

dallas needs to play w a sense of urgency. you can basically add 2 more wins to the NYG. (cle, chi) so we cant really afford to drop any games right now. if i had to choose , drop bal and beat wash. but ultimatley pulling for both wins!

did they talk about the injuries?

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

The Ravens message board is singing a different tune. Predicting Jimmy Smith locking down Dez all game.. and Zeke getting shut down cold.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

"Due for a letdown" is an interesting concept. The Cowboys have had major letdowns in two of the past three games; their win probability in both games dipped to less than 5% before they came back and won.

One could argue they have had letdowns. They just haven't led to losses.

thought jimmy smith was doubtful?

Joe Flacco may very well be the most overpaid player in the entire league.

Zeke was also rushing his rushes at that point. He hadnt gotten the speed down. Zeke is a FAR better back now than in week 1

Cutler, and its not even close lol

Every week I listen to the opponent's podcast. It's not always the official team podcast, but I at least try to get perspective of what they're talking heads are saying.

Every week it's "try to stop the run game, make Dak beat you. etc etc"

This was the first week I didn't hear a peep about the OL. It was just like "well we stopped LeVeon Bell who is probably a little better than Zeke so we should be good".

It was astounding.

 

[MileyDancer]

I don't get why people rate Bell over Zeke at all. I'm not saying he's not good, but Zeke is better.

There is no bigger let down than a score with only :42 seconds remaining on the clock. Dak Prescott calmly put the boys in scoring position within :37.

It's also known as the 'gambler's fallacy'

The amazing thing. The first time in awhile I did not panic as a fan. I knew we had this

No we have the most overpaid player in the league and this week he holds a clipboard.

 

[Risen Star]

I'm actually leaning Ravens in this game.

Big emotional win over the Steelers last week, Commanders on T-day on the horizon. The Cowboys are smelling themselves right now. Classic trap game.

OUCH!
