This is the last thing the reeling Cowboys need is the former AFC Championship participant coming in needing to avoid 0-3. God help us.

Jackson the 2 time MVP is liable to get over a 100 yards rushing and light up our defense. And good luck to a rushing inept offense against their defense .

This could get ugly quickly. Good news is we have the hapless Giants next week. Looking like 2-4 at the bye unless we can upset the Steelers in Pittsburgh or Lions at home .

3-3 looking awfully good right now at the bye. One can dream.

if theres one thing i know about this team, is they lose the ones you expect to win, and win the ones you expect to lose.

Wouldnt doubt if the defense comes to play after last games thrashing, although i wont watch either way, im kinda checked out.

Last time Dallas played the Ravens, Lamar barely passed the ball. It was the 2020 season and Dalton starting.

Ravens attempted 17 passes. Ran 37 times for 294 yards.
Gus Edwards lead the way with 101 yards, then Jackson for 94, and then Dobbins for 71. Ingram had 28 yards. Lowest YPC for any runner was 4.7 ypc...

Could see the Ravens just trying to outphysical the Cowboys front 7 again. Not sure Dallas has the weapons up front to contain Jackson and Henry-especially if he's able to get going before first contact.

It’s really tough for me to see the Ravens start 0-3. Much more likely for us to start 1-2.

Baltimore is 0-2 so its not like they can't be beaten. I'm sure their board is in meltdown mode saying the Cowboys are coming into this game extra mad coming off a loss. Baltimore has some good players, but they have some flaws on that roster just as the Cowboys do. They have a weak receiver unit and some new faces on the OL that the Cowboy should be able to take advantage of.

We will see how it goes, feels like this is a bigger game than it should be for week 3, but a win puts this team in excellent position, and a loss puts a ton of pressure on McCarthy....almost Wade Phillips style pressure if its another bad loss.

Yea, not too hopeful for a week 3 win.
Ravens strength on offense is the Cowboys weakness.

I'd assume their defense is still good, even with the 0-2 start. Losing to KC isn't surprising. the Raiders putting up 26 and sneaking out a win was surprising but I didn't watch a second of that game.

This was the game I thought would be the Cowboys first test to see how good they are. But then the Saints knocked them down a few notches.

i'd rather play the ravens now vs in november.
they don't look right...and i just don't see dallas dropping 2 home games.
john harbaugh is a solid coach...he'll get them righted...but right now they don't look like the ravens we're used to seeing.
cowboys win at home by an aubrey fg.

great post. Exactly correct. 0-2 Ravens ? I dont like our chances. Its the ebb and flow of a season. Ask yourself: whats more likely- dallas at 1-2 or baltimore at 0-3.

This seems like one of those games where the Cowboys shock us and win where we expect them to lose. But the Ravens are a physical team so who knows.
