The last 2 games were very disappointing. We had those 2 games within reach to win. Defense gets gassed in 2nd half in both games. and overall in first 4 games, the entire team has been out of sync. Running game disappears in the 2nd half.
That 1st quarter of the season is in the past and can't be changed. They need to regroup.

So looking forward, I don't expect a win Sunday. Cheater Brady and the cheater coach has an agenda this year, they want to run up the score on every team.
So we get back Hardy and RoMac, possibly Gregory, and seems Sean Lee may even have a chance.
We have the new guy they seem to like in Irving since he was active right away, and kept over Bishop.
Lawrence's play should improve with all the guys back now. They too will be playing with a chip on their shoulder.

I want to see a relentless pass rush on Brady, I want Brady to know after this game, win or lose, he was beaten up badly [not saying to hurt him badly] but he will need ice tubs for a few weeks.

The offense will be what it will be until Dez returns, then Romo. But our Defesne can start making statements this week. So I am looking forward to see if they can and will play like we hope they can. Or at least show signs of life that they can.

Right now, I feel, and maybe most fans feel the same, this is about the only thing we have to look forward too. How the D plays with these guys back. I do expects a bit of rust, but not a few hard sacks and gets will knock that off right away.
An all out blitz first defensive play sounds good to me.

If Hardy can get an early path to Brady's backside and drive him face first into the turf, there's a chance.

Otherwise, I don't hold much hope this weekend.

But this is the NFL. Anything is possible.

I may not be able to watch the game but if I do, I would like to see effort from everyone. I would like to see an all-out effort to win the game. I want to see them compete at the highest level with the talent available.

Get new underwear...or a new butt...

it was a play on the word "blow out"...I dont enjoy them any how, any way, any time, any place, not with ham, not with eggs, not even if you have really nice good looking legs, and not with Pam from The Office.

I'm looking forward to seeing Hardy and Mcclain. Also watching the new additions and rookies develop.

Oh and theirs also a game.. yeah I'm kind of looking forward to that too.

Only if Sean is playing....other than that...I've seen it all. I know Gregory isn't coming back (unless they fool the heck out of all of us) so that combo won't be seen Sunday.

I'm so excited to see Ro and Lee on the field together. I really feel like their games were tailor made for each other. I feared it may never happen. With the improved pass rush we get from Hardy and in a few more weeks Gregory, the defense we all were hoping to see may finally start to take shape.

All anyone talks about is how much an improved pass rush can really elevate this defense, and for good reason, but what I'm really stoked about is seeing Ro, Lee, and Hitchens play together. I think the middle of the field will be an absolute blur of activity with those 3 running around. Should be fun to watch. I don't expect us to win this week, I fear the Patriots will bring out the real Brandon Weeden and offensive production will be very hard to come by. I am hopeful however to see the beginnings of very good defense start to take shape.

I always look forward to game day. When you only play 16 regular season games they are all special.

We can beat the Patriots. Seriously, they're not anymore invincible than we are with Romo and company healthy. I still believe in the team, and I think they'll be coached up well. They might not win, but I expect them to fight their butts off! I'm sure there will be lots of Pats fans in the house, but the Boys and their fans will still be really fired up about getting help on defense. The Patriots are the defending champs, but they've lost a lot of talent in the off-season. They're 3-0, but two of their wins are against the Bills and Jaguars. I still think we matchup okay with New England, and I think they'll be in for more of a fight than they're expecting.

We still dem Boys! This team isn't laying down for anybody! Bring it on Brady!

Wouldn't surprise me at all to outplay that team for 3 1/2 quarters only to lose on the final drive.

I'm picking us to win btw, just saying that wouldn't surprise me.

The last two weeks the Cowboys were playing not to lose. They need to just go out and play with a nothing-to-lose attitude. No one is expecting a victory so just go out and try different things, open it up, and go for it. Quit this safe checkdown as priority one. I want flea flickers, double reverses, HB passes, etc. Something out of the ordinary is needed.

The OL has not played like they are capable so far through 4 games. They need to man up and put this team on their shoulders and carry them.

If OL Collins is inactive, I have little faith that the coaches have a clue. Find a way to get OL Collins in the game. I don't care if it is as a blocking TE, a FB, or a sixth OL. You do not leave talent like that on the bench. You just don't.

Looking forward to the Ro and Lee combo and hoping they both last the whole game, looking forward to Hardy and DLawrence combo. If, and that is a big if, we hit Brady 8-10 times, with 2 ints, our D could win this game for us, but not holding my breath.

That would be nice... I don't care if it's an interception or a fumble recovery, we desperately need to generate some turnovers! You would think we're overdue for some turnovers in our favor, even if it's just by dumb luck.

Pass rush won't matter with Brady because he doesn't take more than a 3 step drop. The AFC East is said to have the best defensive lines yet they rarely touch Brady.

We need to hit Gronk off the line. We also need to press the receivers at the LOS. It's really the only chance you have in stopping the Pats offense.

Vegas opened at NE -8................ it's trending and will be -10 or more by game time.

I think we are going to get whipped.
