This will be our Seattle game from last year

[BoysFanInAustin]

Nobody is giving Dallas a fighting chance and people predicting scores of 50 to nothing. I know that the Cowboys offense is without two major superstars. However I feel that Brandon Weeden has not done a bad job and really began to show signs during the final drive in New Orleans that he can get the ball down field whenever the Cowboys go to an empty set. I am hoping that coaching staff put a lot more trust in Weeden, especially now that the running game has not been effective. Beasley is a tough matchup man to man in an empty set, and I feel that Terrance Williams is due for a break out game this Sunday. I also feel that the addition of Hardy and McClain will increase the depth of the defense and keep bodies fresh on the DLine to rush Brady. I feel that if Sean Lee can go this weekend, that will give us three very solid linebackers with high football intelligence to quarterback the defense and will also help the secondary play a lot better. This team will compete for 60 minutes. Against the defending Super Bowl champions, that may not be enough because Tom Brady can will his team to victory, however I feel that our team will compete and have a fighting chance and the game will go down to the wire. Does anybody else agree with me?

 

[spook930]

I have the same feeling, I haven't been sold on the pats in a long time.

 

[CATCH17]

We have no chance.


Defenses already have a big advantage in that:

1. We are injured

2. They basically know the play that's coming


On top of that Belichick is usually a step or 5 ahead of most teams that are in good situations.


Also, our defense will let you chip at them all day.. What is Brady's biggest strength? Chipping away at the defense.


Cowboys get routed this week unless the Patriots just don't show up to play and get careless with the football.

 

[foofighters]

I don't agree with you at all.

 

[Silver N Blue]

I wrote in another thread yesterday this game does have that "upset" feeling but the deck is stacked against us. However I just don't see it not the way this team has played the past two weeks.

 

[khiladi]

I'm just excited to see Hardy...

I'm taking Dallas and the under.

I agree with everything except Brady willing them to a win. We win.

 

[canters]

I do expect Dallas to be competitive and keep it close.

Yeah, Dallas will keep it close enough to break my heart in the end.

 

[pugilist]

i'd be with you if we had a full staff

but no, it will be over midway through 2nd quarter

 

[65fastback2plus2]

I'm more expecting this to be our Cowboys vs. Vikings game in January 2010.

 

[TimHortons]

Just stop. I don't need further evidence about how ugly this game will be lol. We'll be lucky to keep them under 40 unless they score 30 in the first half and ease up (they haven't eased up against the jags or bills)

 

[Dwight]

Dallas will play with heart against the Pats. However, I feel that Dallas will lose by 17 points.

 

[xvendettax914]

I dont know. I feel like we could easily get smoked and lit up for 40+, but i also know this league is so dang weird and the patriots are always good for 1 loss to a team that makes you go so who knows, really. Maybe this year we can be that team.

Dallas wins 48-10

Giving the Cheatriots a little bit of encouragement there aren't you, for them getting 10 points on us....

 

[John813]

Dallas has a chance. Will need everyone to play at 100%.

Can't be predictable in controlling the TOP

 

[canters]

say what you want abouht a Garrett coached team, and there is plenty of material out there, rarely do his teams get blown out.

And with a few breaks to go our way. Maybe the ball bounces our way this week.

Jerry better be out bidding the refs against Kraft, who are already in his pocket with Goodell's blessing. But maybe he will forget his cash purse and checkbook at home. Jerry can use his stash at the stadium.
