At what positions do we have the advantage over the Bucs?
On our side I think our Oline should win in the trenches as well as our WRs should be able to get open, the big question is will the ball actually be delivered to them.

I think that their 2 big WRs could give us problems especially if Jameis has time to throw.
Doug Martin could also be scary if he gets going.
What say you?

I think the Cowboys <should> win this game but it wouldn't shock me if they found a way to lose it.

Martin is a fine RB and Evans has all the makings of a superstar WR assuming Winston continues to get better.

The Cowboys offense <should> be effective against Tampa.

We will see...

Evans dropped like 5 crucial passes against the Giants that would've probably changed the outcome of that game, but he'll end up looking like Megatron against the Cowboys, and we won't be able to stop the run. It'll come down to the defense needing to make a stop to win the game and they will fail to do so. I've read this book before.

On offense, Martin is their one impressive performer this year. Winston is coming on and the team seems to be rallying around him, big time. Their OL is inexperienced, but they have been together and stacking one good practice on top of another, working harder, doing the right things and trying to get better every day, to put it in perspective.

On defense, they seem to be somewhat confused. Smith is a good young DL. Kwon Alexander has been pretty good. McCoy and David are studs that honestly are not performing to their previous standards. Their secondary resembles ours so much it is frightening.

Isn't Doug Martin out? I could have swore he left the game and didn't return Sunday. Maybe I'm wrong

He's fine. Unfortunately.

He had a fumble, but I don't think they yanked him for that.

What you saw was them subbing in Charles Sims, a better pass catcher, because they were playing from behind and throwing the ball a lot.

Stick a fork in them. Seriously just get it over with. It's not like the Giants or Eagles are gonna start losing week after week anyways. And our strongest unit has been a joke all season long. Best oline in history smh.

Offensive line has been great the last three weeks. Where have you been? I doubt there's another offensive line that'll look good with Brandon Weeden at quarterback.

It has been great in the run game. Okay to mediocre in pass protection.

Pessimism has obviously sunk its corrosive fangs into the fan base. At the beginning of the season I think everyone saw this game as the most obvious win on the schedule. It saddens me to see the enthusiasm drained from our fans. I'm still picking the Cowboys to triumph in this game. May it be the last game this season without our leader, Tony Romo!

Enthusiasm has been replaced by pragmatism.
