Looking forward to Sunday, forget the past 2 weeks

[TimHortons]

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.

It's doubtful that Lee will even play this game, let alone stay on the field the whole time.

According to Stephen, Lee will probably play.

It's hard to get too excited when you feel like a loss is inevitable. I am looking forward to seeing if our defense is improved. Even going against an offense that's going to get the ball out fast no matter what we do. If we move Brady off the spot a bit and tackle well, I'll be happy.

Looking forward to seeing how Jones does on Gronk. That oughta be a test for him. I'm also curious to see if we make any changes in the RB rotation. I hope we do. That, and letting Weeden carefully work with a few more empty sets. Maybe putting Lucky in on returns finally and risking some turnovers in exchange for the potential of a big play or two. No injuries, please. Knock on @Wood.

This is one of those few Cowboy games where I won't be all stressed out, worrying about every little thing. I expect them to lose big, so I won't get upset about it. If they happen to put up a fight, I won't get too excited since Brady will probably pull it out for the Pats anyway.

 

[Doomsay]

I'd be happy if we could just plant that grinning liar a few times.

 

[Silver N Blue]

You know this game has an upset type of feel to it. Nothing would be finer than to beat this cheating organization from top to bottom. Kraft would owe the Jones's ketchup for life! Maybe the cowboys were looking ahead the past two weeks for this game! Yeah that's it!

I would like to see McFadden start, then get Michael in the game more, which he will have to be now. I want to see what he can do. We have a 3 game rental on him, and his one play last week was a waste. They should have put him in sooner in a better situation.

Agree, get Whitehead involved on KR and PR, as they may not have a choice. Dunbar is gone, and do they want to risk McFadden also, as well as Beasley, since Butler has a hammy issue. Though he said he will be fine, we will need Whitehead as an option at WR.

I know Brady has a quick release, 3 step drop and all of that, so it will be a good test for the return of some defensive help. But may not be indicative of how they will play further down the schedule. But show some good signs for improvements. That is what I am looking forward too. But a loss still will be disappointing. Time to get Jones more involved too. Maybe get him in a FS more.

 

[cowboyblue22]

we will lose by at least 21 at least they will have the bye then maybe get healthy and try to win some of the next four games to try to make the playoffs but I don't except they will

The Pats do a great job with their multiple TE sets, too...something I've been expecting us to do with Dez out, but which hasn't really materialized. I would have thought Escobar made a great secondary target for Weeden downfield, given his size and the fact that he's going to benefit from the coverage on Dunbar (ouch) and Witten. For whatever reason, that hasn't been the case. Maybe we see it more now that that flexed out RB spot has been removed from the offense. We're running low on go-to guys, but I like Escobar better than Butler or Street at this point. Time to make that high pick pay off.

59-7, Patriots. No chance.

Here we go again with you people. Just can't help yourselves.

 

[Sportsbabe]

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.

 

[Junglist]

It always irked me when season ticket holders sell their tickets, but getting double for mine to NOT have to watch the rape that is going to happen was too good to pass up.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Gonna need a few turnovers to keep it interesting

 

[Sportsbabe]

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

Absolutely. I'm already beginning to get depressed because we haven't seen any good football and 1 qtr of the season is done.

 

[Sportsbabe]

The suspended players coming back should not be pushed too hard. They need to be smartly played into football game shape. The worse thing this coaching staff could do is treat them like normal players. Playing football is like a car crash every 45 seconds.

 

[Sportsbabe]

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.

I doubt if our corners will reroute Gronk. They only play physical with Dez

You get what you expect

 

[fifaguy]

Come Monday it will be "forget about the last 3 weeks..."

 

[gimmesix]

I look forward to seeing glimpses of what this defense can be. We kind of knew going into this season that the defense needed to step up in order for the team to take the next step. If the defense can do that now and help us secure a few wins before Romo returns, we should be tough to beat.

 

[Sydla]

34-17, 31-14, somewhere in that range I would guess.
