Prediction time vs. Chargers

[Vertigo_17]

21 - 13 Bolts win

I hope I'm wrong, but we haven't won an opener since 2000 (Foreskins)

I am not completely sold yet on this offense yet. Roy and the D put a stop to LT.

Dallas 17 San Diego 13

Bolts 24

31-17 Dallas

17 all first half, D gives up two big plays leading to a TD and a FG, and Bledose throws and INT leading to a TD. Then I say we win in the second half with JJ running over and through SD D.

With week one always being unpredictable to begin with. We have both teams with new defenses to now play for real. And a still unknown offense with Dallas, even though the skill players are there. Just need to execute. And SD is without Gates.

So this could be looked at at two ways. High scoring because of mistakes on defenses. Or low scoring, because of conservative play calling by both teams. However, I believe BP will be a little more agressive than MS. But still think it will be a low scoring game. Even though it seems opening days always have higher scores.

I'm going with Dallas 17 SD 13

Chargers win coin toss, proceed to march down the field fairly easy with a heavy dosage off Tomlinson before Tomlinson ends the drive with a 7 TD Run.
Chargers 7-0

Cowboys offense starts out timid moving the ball a little before punting.

Chargers are slowed this series as Cowboys focus in on Tomlinson and Brees has miscues with WRs and punt

Cowboys start to pick it up with some decent runs by Jones and a few first down catches by Glenn. Cortez FG good
Chargers 7-3

Chargers catch a deep inside slant and breaks a 70 YD TD pass from a blown assignment in the pass defense.
Chargers 14-3

Cowboys start opening up the pass more but has to settle for a punt.

Chargers Drew Brees pass intercepted by Newman and returned for a TD.
Chargers 14-10 @ Halftime

Cowboys rejuvenated by Newman's TD march down the field with a heavy dosage of Jones and Thomas, and the drive is sealed by an inside slant TD to Patrick Crayton
Cowboys 17-14

Tomlinson is winded and the Chargers offense starts to sputter. Punt

Cowboys are growing increasingly confident when Jones breaks free for a 21 TD run.
Cowboys 24-14

Chargers move the ball consistently, by good play by the Cowboys defense forces them to a FG
Cowboys 24-17

Chargers get the ball back for a final comeback try in the forth quarter, but again, the Cowboys defense imposes its will as Drew Brees final hailmary attempt is intercepted by Roy Williams

Final:

boys win 27-24

 

[fortdick]

The Cowboys come out in a single back set, with two TE's. Campbell on the right to help out the rookie. Witten in motion as lead blocker.

Lots of JJ to start with, then play action. The Bolts play an 8 man front against the two TE set and Bledsoe hits Glenn in single coverage on play action for a huge gain.

Campbell catches two passes, at least ( simply because no one expects it)

Brees sacked three times

Cowboys 24, Chargers 13

dude, someone had a little too much coffee this morning. I dont think I've ever seen anyone predict each drive of the game. That goes to a whole other level.....anyway

Ok, probably anything I could say has already been said, like they dont have Gates, we both have switched to 3-4, and our rookies might been a little stage frightened at first being on the road for the first time and all, but I think it will come down to penalties and a big play on defense. Both offenses will be trying to figure out the opposing D the entire game, but never quite get it.....first game of the year. Both Ds will be intent on stopping the opposing RB, so we will have to have a good day in the passing game, and special teams will proabably have a larger roll than both, field position being the key. I say the boys take this one in a kind of close game on the basis of LT getting worn down against our line, I say he gets between 70-90 yds and 2 TDs in the RZ. JJ will get 1 maybe 2 but our passing game will get 2........throw in a couple field goals.........

I got Dal 27 SD 17

Hope I'm right

If we win, koolaid on me all around.
If we lose and Bledsoe gets sacked 5 times, just point me to the nearest bridge.
