Pretty much.

If these areas are solid, the game is Dallas'

1. How many times Dallas passes the football.

If Romo attempts 35 or more passes, I like the Vikings to win. Dallas is 10-15 when that occurs.

If Romo attempts 40 or more passes, they are only 3-7.

When Romo attempts 40 or more passes in a game this year, Dallas is 0-3.

When Romo attempts 34 or less passes in a game, Dallas is 30-7 and 1-0 this year.

I think 30 attempts would be a good goal for the quarterback in this game, and 34 is a good cut-off goal.

I would like to see more runs on first down, and Felix Jones should remain the feature back.


2. Felix Jones had a good game against the Vikings last year, and he needs 15-20 carries in this football game. If he gets some creases or holes, he will go off for a big game.

3. Cowboys offensive line VS Vikings defensive front.

This is where the game will be won or lost for Dallas, imso.

Penalties will be mthe thing I look for the most. I was disgusted with the lack of discipline I saw in the last game...It was enough to make me change my stance on keeping wade for the duration of the season.

Pass protection from the O-Line will be the next thing I look for. After watching our line get abused last week, and remembering what Minnesota did to our line in the playoffs last season, I am very concerned with how effective we can be in protecting our franchise QB.

The last thing I will look for is whether or not we can create turnovers, and win the battle. Games are won and lost by turnovers, and we need to start forcing them and capitalizing on the other teams mistakes. Sure, I understand that a fair amount of luck goes into getting turnovers, but there is also a substantial amount of skill in it as well. There is a reason certain players and teams seem to force more turnovers than other, and it has a lot to do with attitude and looking for the opportunity. This is something we desperately need to inject into our defense. If we can create an atmosphere of ball-stripping LB's and ball-hawking DB's, our defense will become one of the best in the league.



Honorable mention - I would feel remiss if I didn't also include how I will be looking for how effective ourt running game is tomorrow. I am interested to see if Felix still gets the bulk of the carries, and whether or not he will actually carry it more than the 15 times he did last week. Although I realize we are a passing offense, and have plenty of weapons to use in this regard, establishing a threatening running game will do wonders to open up the pass. I hope to see a more balanced attack just like last week.

We all know that, which leaves me to believe that you aren't even able to comprehend a small sentence in question form.

You see stupid people???

it was obvious, just as obvious as asking what 3 things we'll all be watching

I mean nobody was gonna come up with turnovers, penalties and more consistent pass rush

 

[Doomsday]

The word of the day is PRESSURE. Which ever teams puts more of it on the opposing QB is going to win this game in my opinion.

You're missing one, but that's OK. Not all of us are as appealing as myself.
