I'm actually looking forward to this game. I think we, as a team, need this kind of game to actually see where we are at. I mean, I know we are 4-1 but don't you guys really want to see how our OL does against their Defense? I do for sure. This, IMO, is going to tell us a lot about where we need to add strength for the upcoming off season. Our OL is intact right now. Later in the year, that might not be the case so I'm glad we are having this game now.

Not surprising, coming from you, OP. Ongoing negativity central.
I think I recall seeing you post that we'd lose by about 30.

BTW, who did you have winning the New Orleans game?

lol

No need to answer that one, as I'm sure you have us getting drubbed.

The line seems about right to me.

This game will tell us a lot in my opinion, I don't believe in moral victories but if the Cowboys play these guys tough in that environment then I'll start to believe. I don't believe the Cowboys will win this game but I want to see how competitive they are.

A loss doesn't really tell me anything. A win would be a big Wow, but a loss has minimal affect on the Cowboys' chances to make the playoffs.

I think we can win this game, we matchup well with them. To beat Seattle in Seattle you have to run the ball and not make mistakes. Make them one dimensional and get up on them and quiet the crowd. Will be tough but to be taken serious this will be playoff setting to see where we are

I'm not too interested in the outcome, per se. Mostly intrigued by how our offensive line performs, and how our defense handles a very mobile QB.

I'm not a gambler at all, but no way would I even touch this bet unless I was receiving very nice odds overall.

I think that it depends on what kind of a loss it is and how we go about calling the game. That's kind of what I'm saying in my earlier post. It will also tell us a little bit about exactly how far along our coaching staff is, from the standpoint of who we believe our team to be. Do we believe in the kind of Football we have been playing over these last few weeks or not? I'm really excited about this game.

Anything is possible. Seattle has a short week. I think we can go up there and steal one.

Really comes down to us stopping the run and trying to establish our run game, sprinkled in with short passes to relieve that pass rush. SEA doesn't have enough firepower on O to blow us out unless Lynch goes nuts. Hope McClain is 100% bc this is the game he will be relied on as that much needed physical presence to counter their smash mouth O. As long as we don't turn it over much and shy away from early 3 and outs in that environment, I see this being a closer game than most. Romo is looking better every week and could see him surprising that secondary with some big gains down the seams.

It's going to be a tough game, but let's not say we can't win.

It comes down to what team decides to show up. The team that played the Saints or the team that played the 49ers.

It's mistakes on offense that are making things harder for this team. You put Russell Wilson in a position where he has to play from behind, and take Lynch out of the game by scoring early, we can win this game.

Little early for a line on the game, isn't it? Seems to me there is a certain MNF game to be played...?

What happens if one or more critical members of the Seahawks gets hurt? What if nobody gets hurt but they still lose to the skins something like 48-10?

It's a good thing that the Cowboys have a running back who never turns the ball over.

I love this game, because it is a measuring stick. Nobody expects the Cowboys to win, I certainly don't, but truthfully the 2 games after Seattle are far, far more important. The Cowboys need to win divisional games at home.

I think that line will drop, Seattle win or lose tonight.
I don't bet and don't follow it all that much, but just my opinion it will come down by gametime.
It seems like it's one of those sucker bets for now.
