The Denver game

This is going to be my first game at Jerry World so hopefully it is competitive.

(Yes I know I'm an idiot for making this game, out of all games, my first)

I don't think there's anything idiotic about picking a game featuring Peyton Manning as your first.
 
I wonder if people are just "scared" because their afraid to believe again this year. If we begin to believe that they are good enough to beat the Denver's of the world then they'll have to believe we're a good team.
Having said that, we play Denver on my birthday this year and Denver is my boyfriends favorite team so those are both excellent reasons why Dallas better win.
 
Denver's DL looks quick, but smallish. We should be able to run on them and eat up some clock. We need Manning on the sideline as much as possible.
 
Denver is not even crossing my mind right now. I'm worried about San Diego on the road. A lot can happen in 2 weeks in this league.
 
Dominate TOP, CBs need to disrupt WR routs somehow (jamming them at the LOS), and drop as many as possible into coverage. At least that's what i've heard as reasons as to how the Patriots were so successful against him for a few years when he was with Colts.

Different teams, but I remember an undefeated Colts team with the same QB a number of years ago. As i recall, that one went alright for us.

That was back in 2006 when Romo had just taken over as the Cowboys QB and had invigorated the team and the fan base. That was his 5th start and the Cowboys were in the early stages of a 4 game wining streak. That 4 game stretch was one of the most exciting times in Dallas since the Cowboys won their last SB. The team had been playing musical chairs at QB since 2001 and at 3-3 appeared to be going nowhere once again under Bledsoe in 2006. When Bledsoe got benched and Romo took over vs the Giants and tossed 3 picks it looked as if it was going to be a very long season watching him struggle and the Cowboys having to find another QB during the offseason. I'm sure no one expected what was to come with Romo the next few weeks. Indy was 9-0 heading into Texas stadium in 06 and as luck would have it Peyton didn't have a Peyton Manning like day vs the Cowboys. He struggled against a rejuvenated Cowboys team that looked like a completely different team under Romo. Peyton only completed 51.3% of his passes vs the Cowboys for 254 yards, 2 TD's, 2 int's and had a passer rating of 67.7.

The defense really came up big for the Cowboys sacking Peyton twice and forcing 2 fumbles recovering one of them. I doubt we can count on Peyton being as off as he was that day as on fire as he is now. If he plays against the Cowboys like he's played the first 3 games of this season Denver is going score 35+ and win going away. I just don't see how the Cowboys are going to stop Denver's passing attack it's one of the most lethal I've seen in years. Peyton surgically dissects defenses it's incredible to watch. He's off to the best start of his career and if the Cowboys defense looks as lost as it did against brother Eli on opening day Peyton may end up breaking Norm Van Brocklins 62 year old record of 554 passing yards. No doubt the Cowboys will try and run the ball to keep Peyton off the field but Denver will score on most of their possessions I see the Cowboys defense having no answers on how to stop Peyton. If we see any busted coverages or confusion on defense Peyton is going to have an absolute field day.

Romo will likely have a career high in passing attempts trying to play catchup. The only real chance the Cowboys have is beating the Chargers on Sunday and Philly is some how able to knock some of the steam out of Denver by winning in an upset. If Denver enters Cowboys stadium 5-0 and Peyton is continuing his surgical procedures the Cowboys are going to be in some serious trouble. However on one positive note the Cowboys do have a history of rising to the occasion and winning games no one is giving them a chance to win like they did in NO vs the Saints in 09. The Cowboys really need to beat San Diego on Sunday to have some momentum heading into the Denver game. The next 2 weeks can be a big turning point for the Cowboys if they can come away with wins.

We always seem to give Manning a hard time. I think we will again. I'm not feeling a blow out.

But that team is winning the Super Bowl this year. They should have won it last year.

Peyton wilts in the postseason, I don't think they are anything close to a Super Bowl lock.

He's arguably the greatest regular season QB ever but has not been the same QB during the postseason. Even during his SB winning season in 06 his TD to turnover ratio in the playoffs of 3-7 was worse than Dilfers and Brad Johnson's the years they won their SB's.

Anybody who says Peyton Manning wilts in the pre-season is like a person who claims Michael Jordan is over-rated as a basketball player... Everybody talks about Brady, but let's not forget Viniateri and Spygate and poor kick-off by Jacksonville that essentially gave the Patriots great field position to score the winning field goal and the Tuck Rule and a fumle by the safety on the 5th INT thrown by Brady to San Diego that gave the Patriots the ball back in scoring territory allowing them to win luckily.

What Peyton is doing right now, just systematically picking apart defenses is sick. He's changing playson the fly with plenty of time to spare and making the right read and the perfect throw. On their 30 point off a field gald, Welker dropped a sure TD as well as Thomas I believe, and both passes were perfectly threaded. The Welker on was an audible if I remember correctly. Remember, this is the guy Jerry Jones wanted Romo to be like at the line.

A true football fan should appeciate what he's doing, cause it's a thing of beauty to watch.
 
We will beat them. Heard this story before, Colts undefeated, Saints undefeated. Boom!!

The way you beat Manning is by getting him rattled. We can do that

Honestly it's just wayyyy to early to say if they'll win it.

Being hot now means nothing. We've seen this year after year.

The Patriots could just as easily get healthy at the right time and beat Denver in the post season.

Heck the Chiefs could win that division.

Teams with a good front 4 and secondary will be a tough matchup for Denver. Especially after they lost Clady.


I picked Denver and Green Bay in the Pre-season though.

They've been hot for a calendar year now. This is just what they are. The best team in football. The Ravens got lucky with a hail mary to beat them.

Of course they can get knocked off in the playoffs but I think it's their championship to lose. I don't think anyone is even close to them this year.
