Seattle is winnable

The Seattle OL is not playing great. A lot of time what Lynch gets is more of a statement of how hard of a runner he is. Wilson gets his on his own as well.

Yea their OL is very suspect, I would feel really good if the Cowboys had some good edge rushers. Washington doesn't have much, but the one thing they can do is rush the passer with Orakpo and Kerrigan, which is why they had a little success.

All bias aside but I feel the Hawks are gonna win by at least 2 TDs. Call me a troll all you want. I'll be back on on Sunday night or next Monday to remind you.

Seattle at home is a completely different team then on the road. Don't let last night fool you into thinking we are getting the same performance Washington did. Far better teams then us have been beaten convincingly there, our inability to get to the QB will be our downfall

Yes, they are night and day at home vs on the road. It is a mighty tall order to go there and beat that team right now. They aren't as good as last year IMO, but they are still very good.

If Dallas plays like they can, it might be close because Dallas is so physical, but I don't see them coming away with a win. Hope I'm wrong.

Turnovers can change any game, but I think you're right about the pass rush not getting to Wilson.

Unless, of course, you lose at home, in which case, 3 posts is all we'll ever see of you.

I think SEA wins this one at home, too. Though in Dallas it might be another story. But it should be a good game, at least.

If we lose at home I'll still be back and give credit where it's due. I see Dallas winning the NFC East and still making the playoffs. I know it sounds like I am looking down on your team but I just feel it's a home game and like many of you guys said the Seahawks are a different team at home which I totally agree and I expect us to cover the 8-9 point spread.

I just want the Cowboys to show up and play a good game. If they win, great. If they lose it won't surprise me.

Just don't get rolled this time around.

No team is unbeatable and Seattle is no exception but it's a well-known fact that they're a much tougher team at home than they are on the road. They'll be a much better team than they were vs. Washington at Fed Ex. It will take the Cowboys' best game of this season thus far to extract a win at Seattle's raucous venue. They know full well it would deliver a powerful statement to the rest of the league if that were to happen. Let's hope it does. If that is not to be, it'd still be a feather in their cap to exit that game after being highly competitive. That might be a somewhat fair consolation, I'd say.

So at home, they are the greatest team ever assembled, on the road they are barely average.

Well the record indicates that...

Again, this is off memory, but i think, including last nights road game they are 2 games over .500 on the road under Wilson and like 14-1 at Home under Wilson... so yeah... I'd say that they are pretty "great" at home and pretty average on the road.

Fair enough. I think most expect you to win this one at home. It's just that, more often than not, when an opposing team's fan comes in, says they'll win by two scores and nothing else, well, those guys don't tend to come back and take their medicine if they're wrong.

On the other hand, if they come by to talk football, they usually come back, one way or another.

I think you'll find that most Cowboys fans have a very healthy respect for the Seahawks. When you cleaned our clock at the start of the 2012 season, a lot of us thought we'd been embarrassed by a middling team, but it was obvious even then that you were building a hell of a defensive team that was going to do some really good things. This year so far, honestly, you look less intimidating than I'd expected coming into the season, but you're beating good teams (WAS not included), and playing you at home is never a picnic.

It will be interesting to see whether or not our running game can be effective up there. I think your DL isn't quite as good a matchup for you as the one we just faced in the Texans, but then your secondary is orders of magnitude better. We'll need to play a lot better football than we played last week to have a chance. We're capable of playing at a high enough level to make it interesting, though. Let's hope we do. And, knock on @Wood, no injuries.

Yea it's amazing what a real home field advantage does for a team. Oh well...

Good. A Seahawks fan.

So, which do you consider as the better AFC opponent: Chargers or Broncos?

Yeah this game has the makings for a disaster, seattle is probably pissed they didn't blow Washington out of the water and now they're goin back home to let their anger out on us. Either we win a close one or they win by atleast 2 tds like that seahawks fan said

@Bullflop: You are correct no team is unbeatable. Just because it's at home doesn't mean your team doesn't have a chance. Dallas has the offense to beat us. A run game and an elite offensive line is what you need and your team has that. If Dallas abandon the run it might be trouble. Expect the crowd to be amped up and I expect my Hawks to play more better than last night against Washington.

@Idgit: I have no problems with Cowboys fans or the Cowboys team in general. Although I will say some Cowboys fans on the net like some facebook groups I joined can be delusional and annoying at times but the same thing can be said about Seahawks fans. I Grew up watching Troy, Emmit, & Irvin. As a Seahawks fan I was real jealous of the Cowboys teams of the 90s because they were a great team that was fun to watch. By the way I rooted for the Bills and the Steelers in those SBs but that was due to envy more than hatred. lol

Denver. Not taking anything away from the Chargers victory over us but the field temperature was 118 degrees. SD was smart enough to wear white at home that day & I ain't gonna make excuses for that loss. They played perfect football and owned the time of possession by +40 minutes. I think the Seahawks had like 17 minutes top in terms of time of possessions but we still put up 21 points. In my honest opinion I felt that was a fluke win but in this league a win is a win and I tip my cap off to them for an amazing gameplan. SD beat us fair and square but I just feel Denver is the better opponent.

So, you believe Seattle could take San Diego on a neutral site with cooler temps?

After the whey the Hawks struggled agin the ***skins, I would say the Cowboys stand a good chance Sunday.
Give the ball early and often to Murray and let the rest take care of itself. And keep romo from rolling out and freelancing. In other words, do what he half been doing, i.e. bus driver.
