Push comes to shove Sunday

[Seven]

It seems like 99% of the posts this week are about what the Cowboys offense is/isn't going to do to the Seahawks defense.

Nobody seems to mention that part I am most concerned with -- the fact that the Seahawks come in as the #1 rushing offense in the NFL (both in yards as well as yards per/carry) and a incredibly variable QB who is passing a 112 QB rating clip rate and can utterly destroy defensive moral by running for lots of 1st downs.

I believe the Dallas offense can effectively move the ball on Seahawks and position the team to score 20-23 points or so.

How are the Cowboys going to stop the Seahawks from getting 23 points?

By scoring 30.

IMO somewhere in this game, a scenario will play out......how will the boys respond when they get knocked down. Years past, they rolled..... Eventually! True champions punch back once knocked down..... Who will stand up an punch back? Why do I have a feeling of our boys being the ones ready for round 12 come Sunday?
I really believe we will have trouble running like we have, but for some reason.... I see a fight breaking out in this game.

I see a football game breaking out in this fight.

Like most weeks, Romo will be key. I think this is one of the weeks he has to be careful with the ball. IN their stadium, with their noise level. If he throws up an INT early they will jump all over us. As most are saying run, run and run again. With some careful play action off of that. Defense is the scary part for me. If McClain does not play (And even if he does, he won't be at 100%) can Wilcox come down and tackle Beast mode ? This is the game everybody needs to be fundamentally sound. No breakdowns on D. We have a good chance if they play solid, fundamental defense.

I think the entire offense will be the key.

If the Cowboys have any hope of winning the offense must…

1. Run the football! Even if it is 3 yards a pop they have to keep running.
2. They must protect the football! One interception or fumble, especially in the 1st half, could spell doom for the Cowboys.
3. They need to be physical. If Seattle wins the war of the will, especially in the trenches, Dallas has no shot.

Romo and Murray do not have to have a great game but they have to have a smart, error-free game. Let the boys up front set the tone for the game and stay with it for 60 minutes and the Cowboys can win.

If both Ro McClain and B Carter are missing due to injuries, it may only show us how much we miss those two.

I think we saw that last week when Ro went out with injury. Foster ran wild after he went out.

Exactly what scares me about this match-up. This offense is alot better than Houston.

As long as players fight back without getting stupid fine but getting ejected from a game would likely hurt Dallas more than Seahawks.

I stand by my post...

It's getting chippy out there..... Hayden in the 1st half, now this
