After winning two games in four days the Cowboys are looking pretty good right now and it looks like they're getting more organized on offense which is a good sign. On the other hand the Cowboys can't help themselves when it comes to penalties (yup they lead the league AGAIN) as a matter of fact it's gotten so bad that I'm used to it now and expect at least 10 a game. They also did a really good job of shutting down two of the best running backs in the league in back to back weeks. The Colts have some decent stats when it comes to stopping the run and not allowing receivers to go off but Matt Ryan and company will definitely have their hands full this week with the Cowboy's very impressive rush defense. Now I really don't think that this will be a blow out like many others but I think the Cowboys will win because they're just the better team plus Dak to Lamb is a pretty good combo and the two headed monster in the backfield just takes over.

Dallas is a double digit favorite. Indy has a bad OL and Ryan is a statue. If this is a 4 point game Dallas has no chance this season. They should get an early lead and pummel Ryan leading to a home blowout. Guys resting in the 4th Q. If that doesn’t come to fruition we shouldn’t have any confidence this season is different. A good team with this match up should hammer the Colts at home.

Did you see Matt Ryan run for like 20 something yards last week? I was shocked lol. He should be a sitting duck on Sunday.

Philly only beat them by 1. Do they eagles have no chance this season? Or does that only apply to dallas winning close games?

Penalties are a killer. There are only so many great plays to be made in a game and when you have bring it back and go backwards it hurts and kills momentum and makes offense more predictable because now you have a longer distance to go.

And what really gets me is pre snap penalties. Aligning wrong. Jumping. Illegal movement. Just plain stupid.

We are the Cowboys. Everyone is going to give us their best shot. My biggest worry is our OC continuing to think he's smarter than everyone by trying to be cute instead of just calling a solid game. Those gadget plays are going to come back and haunt us.

Moore is, was and will continue to be the weak link. Guy has no clue.

Your line of thinking is why teams get upset. There is no "should" in the NFL. It's a week to week league. What happened last week doesn't happen this week. The only thing we can be sure of is that the Cowboys play the Colts Sunday night. Tune in to see who wins.

It very well could end up that way but these type of comments just make me chuckle. this is the NFL and anything can happen.This team beat the best team in the NFL. We should win but nothing is a given

Not at all. Good teams whip bad teams. At a high percentage. Period.

What do a fans thoughts on the game have to do with how professional athletes approach to the game? I expect a blow out. Oh no! Now the Cowboys will not be fully prepared for the Colts.

Spoken like a fan that suffered through the Garrett years and has become conditioned to accept mediocrity. Be rational…90 out of 100 times Dallas should murder this Colts team. That’s a fact.

Should we murder them? Yes. Is the NFL a week to week league where many games come down to one or two possessions? Absolutely. Will I abandon all hope for this team if we we beat Indy by less than 7? Not at all. A win is a win. Take the win and move on to next week. There are no style points in the NFL.
