Don't feel good about the game since we have no discipline and fold when faced with adversity. If the D gets going early we have a chance but for sure Baltimore will try and bully us.

Well here we go again, the Cowboys could be the most consistently inconsistent team in the league after getting blown out by the Saints last week on their own field. The Cowboys still have a lot of issues up and down the roster and their effort to stop the run is once again a huge problem. On top of that the Cowboys themselves can't run the football with their 3rd tier running back by committee approach and it wouldn't surprise me if Cook was activated and Vaugh is a healthy scratch. So how do I see this game playing out, well it all comes down to the Cowboys D line if they play well and dominate like they did against the Browns they'll win if not it will be another big loss and the boos will be heard throughout Jerry's World. My prediction, expect a lot of booing.

Ravens 30
Cowboys 20
Cook won't be called up per Mike Fisher, i'm not sure why he even chose to sign here knowing we have 3 backs

I can only assume you are a new fan and dont know any better LOL

You cannot embarrass this team

They could be 0-17 and the front running “leaders” of this team would be doing their podcasts and talking cliches and counting the money
Not a new fan, just one with a different vision.

No hope of ball control if we have no resemblance of a running game. We’re going to have to play good defense and make some plays in the passing game. They’ve been vulnerable against the pass. We can bend, but we have to keep them out of the endzone.
Good defense??? Hahahaha

Saints are for real and i expect them to beat Eagles this week

The Cowboys are a soft undisciplined team with above average talent

I fully expect a desperate Ravens team to beat us unless we are able to throw against them and score early
Interesting. I think the Eagles beat the Saints this week. The Saints will be good this year and playing at home will be tough for Philly to overcome, but I can see this being an Eagles win.

As for the Ravens at Dallas, I think the Ravens get their 1st win of the season. Hope not. But, I think that's how it plays out.

Wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised by both games.

Tomorrow is going to be a real character test for the Cowboys. They gave up the most points in the first half of any Cowboys team in franchise history last week. It was the second worst defeat in a home opener in franchise history. They’re going to have to play solid offensively and defensively if they want to win tomorrow.

I don't really know what to think. I think they can bounce back, have a good game. But that don't mean they will win. It means Baltimore had a better game.

I am prepared to be 1-2 more than to be 2-1.
Honestly, I think it's imperative for the Cowboys to score first. If they don't, I think they'll lose. They're a different team when playing from behind.

Do we get the Cleveland version or the NOLA version? Even if we get the former, will it be enough? Is there another Cowboy personality lurking in there that we've yet to see? This team would make for an interesting psychological movie, The Faces of Dallas.

I believe if we have a good game we’ll win. The Ravens may have Jackson and Henry, but they are 0-2. They’ve had their issues. A good game will be our defense stepping up and containing Jackson and Henry and being able to have a respectable running game against them. I can’t think of the last time we had a good game and lost.
Last sentence is a great point.

Only one I can think of without research is the opener at the Rams a few years back.

They aren’t going to magically get better on Defense. They have no players in the middle. An aging middle LB and smaller LB’s on the edges. Running up the middle will be the theme for most opponents this season.

Interesting that you say this. As an X heavy gambler, I'd stay away from this game completely. Saints -3 doesn't make sense to me. It opened up at Saints -2 1/2. Something isn't right here. Don't bet this game.

We don’t have the players on defense, primarily the DL. It all starts up front. It could get real ugly again when we play SF. They may have McCafferty back by then.

I said exactly the same thing.
