The Way That I See It Sunday Night

They'll have to do it without Sanders because I just read he's out for the game but it probably won't matter much.

Nope, won’t matter. Last week I think 2 rb we never heard of got 100 yards or close to it.

I think you're right. The worst rushing team in the NFL rushed for 208 yards last week.

The fun part of this game to me is that Filly is bad too. So the Cowboys have a chance to win, however small. I never make score predictions- the NFL is harder to predict than a teenager’s mood. But when I put on my most objective hat, it’s very hard for me to see the Cowboys winning.

The Ben DiNucci love this week has been fun, but reality is going to arrive Sunday night when the Nooch faces his first 3rd and 9 and the eaglets send an exotic blitz package he never saw at James Madison. What I hope is that the Nooch stays healthy and shows some growth.

I find it a stretch to expect a 7th round draft pick, somehow being compared to Tony Romo without all the preparation and time Romo had before he ever started a game. Romo had the benefit of 3 whole seasons of clipboard holding and numerous preseason games before anything was expected of him in a regular season game.

Nothing against The Nooch. I hope he’s great Sun night. But the Romo comparisons and Disney movie dreams I’m afraid are just completely unrealistic.

Solid post very insightful and objective!

All True. Big DiNucci fan. I was present at most of his Junior and Senior home games. He has improved vastly since a career low point 5-interception game during his Junior season, remarkably even, especially considering he's had a new playbook to learn each of the past 6 seasons, including his senior season and now at Dallas. He literally got better every game and was a freak by the end of his senior season. Seeing him in live action it was difficult to gage his arm strength since his release is such a "flick" it doesn't seem to take any effort. He went blow for blow against Trey Lance, who will go in the first round next year after his sophomore season.

But like you said, seasoning is needed, can't compare to Tony Romo with his three years of seasoning.

I just hope he gets out of there uninjured.

So does anybody think that the Cowboys won't get blown out this week, well I'm here to tell ya it could get bad and I mean really bad in a hurry and Philadelphia isn't even that good but that just tells you how bad the Cowboys are right now. I will say this, at least the Cowboys cut two really awful players this week and also traded a over the hill D-end that was a non factor as well. Defensively the Cowboys will hopefully get a few players back and you would think that Randy Gregory will see more than six plays this week because that's all the action he saw against the No Name team. On offense poor Ben DinNucci gets to start behind that o-line which will at least have Zack Martin back. If I was the Cowboys I would try to block a punt and blitz a lot because offensively it's going to be bad. Once again the Cowboys will turn it over, they won't be able to force any turnovers which is nothing new and I also see a lot of sacks coming. With all that being said Eagles easy.

Eagles 30
Cowboys 0

I suspect with Martin back they could at least put up a fight if Dalton were playing, but poor DiNucci is going to be stepping into a very bad situation for his first start.
