Michael Irvin: The only way Cowboys beat Patriots is if 'Jesus is at the goal line'

[RS12]

Former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin spoke to G Bag Nation on 105.3 KRLD The Fan on Monday. Some highlights:

-- Irvin said the Cowboys' offensive line was not the problem in Sunday's loss at New Orleans. "I'm putting it on this running back by committee stuff we're doing. That's just what it is."

-- Irvin on if Cowboys can beat the Patriots: "It would be a tough win if everybody was healthy. I wouldn't even call it a possibility."

-- Irvin: Cowboys' beating Pats "would be one of them real Hail Marys. The only way has to be with Jesus at the goal line."

New England is a 7-point favorite to beat Dallas at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.

I was expecting the line to be at least 10.

 

[yimyammer]

sounds about right

 

[JohnsKey19]

Only 7 points. I'd be ALL over that. Seems like easy money there.
(Sorry - this game is probably not going to be pretty...hope i'm wrong)

That line surely will creep closer to double digits by Sunday.

 

[Wayne02]

Only a 7 point favorite, that's easy money.

I love how people want to blame this and that.

Teams are stacking the box and there is nowhere to go.

It's not some big conspiracy.. Has nothing to do with players sucking.

We are just too predictable when and where we are running.

Yeah Mike. I feel you bro....

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

So someone else agrees this running back by committee stuff is nonsense, all it means is that you don't have a true #1.

 

[Doomsday101]

That is cool, Jesus is going to be at the game this week

 

[TheDoctor]

But wouldn't the J-man leave a lot of meat on the bone? The guy barely ate anything but bread so I can't imagine him getting low and trucking a linebacker or two.

 

[anava]

Jesus? Well...We do have that extra roster spot.

 

[RunDMC]

Maybe Jesus will be on our side this week.

No, it's all on that lousy Randle!

Guess we are gonna see a head coach game plan and make adjustments, shame it will be Bellacheat and not our coach.

 

[erod]

These are the kind of games that often go entirely differently than expected.

Or in this case, not.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

ive never bet on sports...but with a 7 point line, does anyone know how to bet on sports and could give me a crash course? Im all over that.

Always crack up at the "adjustments" comments.

How many adjustments can you make in 10 minutes? Most of the players are in the can.

 

[Deep_South]

The sports books have it at around Pats -9 to -10 right now.

 

[JoeKing]

Religion verboten, right?

It's sad..

What's worse is there is a part of our fan base that can't comprehend what actual coaching looks like and let Garrett off the hook because Romo isn't there to save him.
