Jay Novacek Picks Cowboys over the Bucs

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/3690072/

"The little problems are starting to pile up for the Cowboys. Their overwhelming talent had offset a lot of those issues this season -- and still can -- but this is a crucial game. They have to quit making mistakes, making dumb penalties, etc. If they're mistake-free, this is a Dallas win.

I expect Dallas to work hard at correcting those issues this week. And forget Tony Romo, the offensive line has to play better. If they can't protect Brad Johnson, they can't throw the ball, which makes running the ball even more tough, even if Marion Barber's in the backfield.

Jeff Garcia's been good the last few weeks, which could create problems for Dallas. He's nimble in the pocket and can handle pressure. With him running the offense, the Bucs are capable of stringing together some long drives, which can wear down the Cowboys' defense.

Tampa's got a great chance to win a marquee game. But this game isn't about the Bucs, it's about the Cowboys and what kind of adjustments they make after two straight losses. Pick: Cowboys

The only way we win is with mistake free football.

3rd and 9, Garcia has forever to throw, buys time, 13 yard gain.

Dallas lets them score.

Nors booked it

the chips are following the smart money

The only way we win is with mistake free football.

Or if we get some turnovers.

We were pretty good at getting INTs last year, and I still think we're due some. Even if they're cheapie deflections like Ellis got. Maybe Garcia has trouble throwing over big Canty and a LB or Henry gets an easy one.

Or maybe we scoop up a fumble and run it in.

I dunno, but for some reason I think we have a pretty decent chance of pulling this one out somehow.

Boys make final stand Sunday.

 

[Nors]

Dallas is going to ROLL this week

 

[Coakleys Dad]

I hope we see a little killer instinct this week.

Last time Dallas played Tampa Bay, Romo had 6 TD passes..

*sigh* my first live and in person Dallas Cowboys game. Great game

It will be an important battle, and it depends on everyone to make their best. We must stop making all those stupid penaltys, then we should be just fine.
Garcia has played well after being bench, now is the time to cowboys defense puts him in place. If we are trying to make a regular press on him then he should make some few mistakes. These mistakes should be picked up quickly.

Also for 3rd Downs. I'm tired of seeing we can not cover up properly. We need to do something about it right now. This could costs us in the long run!
It al ready does...

I predict a little victory: 20-17:

The odds are good that Dallas will eventually win one since they lost this many in a row and now Nors wants credit for the next win.

Book it.
