Pickens vs Vikings

[Pass2Run]

Let's talk about expectations for Pickens.

Will Pickens bounce back?

Will he relent if he's doubled?

I expect a big game for Pickens.

111 yards and 1TD.

If he's doubled, he needs to embrace it and fight through them. If nothing else, he helps Lamb, Flournoy and Ferg just by being there.

If Dak and the OL can handle the pressure these WRs could absolutely feast today. The bigger task against a defense like the Vikings is simply getting the ball out of the QBs hands effectively. Their back end players can't keep up with either Lamb or Pickens 1v1 and Minnesota will put those guys on islands multiple times today.

I sure hope Schotty exploits their secondary weakness!!

I'm going to up the ante 40 and bet 151 yards, 2 TDs.

Yeah that's the problem here, Players need to stop being autonomous, and thinking LOL,

Just because they think they're covered, or they don't believe the route is working, and they go rogue, off script, or they give up..

that's the worst thing you can have for a quarterback, because he's going to put the trust in you whether you're doubled or not, He might throw that ball out there anyway ,You need to at least make an effort to go get it smack it down, you know catch the ones that hit you in the hands, stop fumbling, but yeah run your routes full speed And finish them, because you never know when that ball's coming..

He got caught doing that so many times last week, its insane, It wasn't just because he was doubled, the man did not put forth the effort, he made at least 7 negative plays in that game alone, I mean he literally checked out this was Amari Cooper on the road 2.0...

Let's hope he learned his lesson, but I'm tired of hearing how this was his first bad game, no he had a couple of these moments in the 1st couple of games this year, and then got on track,

so I hope it doesn't keep popping up throughout the year because we don't need that that inconsistency and players who just mentally aren't showing up for a game just 'cause they're not feeling it...


Yeah ,

there's no excuses for what he did last week it wasn't because he was double covered it wasn't 'cause it was so tough whatever it was it was bad. He basically checked out and that's inexcusable I don't care if you drop passes if you follow down if you can't find a way to get open that's all well and good but when you don't show the effort when you're running your routes they need to be full speed you need to be selling them you need to make sure they believe you're going somewhere else I mean he is loafing and lazy last week to a point where he just looked mentally out....

Didn't the Cowboys get caught looking over at the Lions beat up team and expecting that their backups weren't going to show up and play well or the names you don't recognize weren't going to play well and we got out hustled the the effort was all from their side their backups played like starters and it didn't look like anybody was missing...

I don't care about the stats, I want to make sure he catches everything thrown into his catchable area ,no fumbles, no deflections, no lazy routes, but if you're asked to be a decoy, and you don't get more than 50 yards today...

too bad I want you to play your **** off and help the team in other ways besides stat padding... So maybe CD Lamb has a 200 yard game and he only gets 50 yards and let's see how he acts in this game scenario.

Hell I don't care about any of the stats for any of the players as long as they win the game I don't care if it's Turpin who has 150 yards today because everybody else is covered, everybody just do your jobs.

All that is important today is they get a win it doesn't matter who's the hero is, Just do your jobs and get a win...

Jerry talked to Schotty thru the media to run the ball more, but I still think GP has a bounce back game. Schotty and Dak made an effort to get CeeDee the ball after a bad game, so expect the same for Pickens.

I agree with this, but Pickens will score twice with 140 plus yards receiving and Lamb will score a TD as well. Minnesota's secondary does not match up well with this Dallas receiving core, and I also look for Javonte Williams to have 80 plus yards and a score.

I heard all this noise last game I guess the Lions they were beat up a bunch of guys were questionable even if they played guys like St Brown would be slowed down they almost had no offensive line their corners were beat up they wouldn't be able to keep up with our guys We lost by 14 points I realize we did move the ball pretty well and we're going to have to depend on our defense which is scary no matter how well our offense does we could still lose a game by 14 points..

I agree which Dallas team shows up the one who won 3 games in a row or the one who laid the egg at Detroit. If it is the former I like our chances.

I was fully expecting a Dallas win last week, but this team was not ready to play in that football game. Maybe Dallas comes to play this week and shows some discipline it is hard to win in this league, with 11 to 14 penalties. Eberflus went back to his anemic coaching style that has killed this Dallas team this season.

 

[plasticman]

This Viking defense is no joke, they can physically hurt a team.

They are excellent against the run and can make you one dimensional really quick.

This game is going to be a struggle and nobody should complain if the Cowboys win by a score like 23-20.

Look you can say they laid an egg but when I'm sitting here watching the rams get ran over I mean we're talking about Jared Goff right now has over 200 yards passing three touchdowns st Brown has 127 yards and they're put up 24 points in the first half on the Rams they're leading 24 to 17..

That doesn't sound like the Rams are doing any better than the Cowboys maybe the Lions are a better team than people thought..

Forget how bad we look but imagine if the special teams didn't give up all those short fields if the Cowboys don't turn the ball over and give more short fields It was a three point game with 10 minutes left in the game against the Lions so let's be clear here when we're judging the Cowboys let's judge the Rams...

I thought the Rams were clearly one of the best teams in the NFL if not the best team in the NFC with the MVP frontrunner and they're getting beat as bad as the Cowboys were at this point..

What I mean by laying an egg is not executing on offense defense and especially special teams. These teams are hard to figure out how good they are for instance I have watched the Lions play several games this season I have seen them look mediocre at times especially against Green bay. I think Dallas could beat any team in the league if they could stay poised and execute as a team. Like I say how good are these teams the Rams look like a top team they may have had an off day. I just think Dallas is a better team than the Lions but they didn't play well enough to win.
