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?

I do not agree with you. The Cowboys will play hard and show heart but a thumping is likely.

Really? What do they need to do to sell you?

There cupcake schedule thus far. Beating a Steeler team with a weak defence and a overrated Bills team. Let's see what they can do against a top team.

I don't remember losing the Seattle game last year. Did Weeden start that game?

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.

I am sorry for being negative here but I can not get excited watching this team right now since romo and Bryant went down. also the defense has shown because of injury and hardy being gone no pass rush whatsoever. I think we may keep this game close in the first two quarters but then like the patriots do they wear teams down with the short passing game and that takes away time for the offense and also stops the pass rush from getting anything. I am ready for the bye week already.

Not for nothing but last years team was last year. They were healthy, they were playing together for a few weeks getting to feel each other.
This year's team is the exact opposite of last year. Hope I'm wrong and the OP is right.

Dallas has to consistently and relentlessly harass Brady for a full sixty minutes (with zero attenuation)...win the turnover battle...rush for 150 yds +...get 200 yds receiving, with contributions from the wideouts...AND win the coaching contest (adjustments). Achieving all of the aforementioned outcomes are theoretical plausible but realistically unlikely.

The Steelers racked up almost 500 yards of offense on the Patriots in Foxborough if I remember correctly. Their defense can be beaten and if our coaching staff can put a good gameplan together for our offense, we could have alot of success in that aspect.

Regardless of how our offense plays though, we are going to have to force multiple turnovers to be in this game. We are definitely due for some.

I don't think we'll win but I am not nearly as down on this game as most are.

You guys are funny. The Steelers also had Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown, while the Cowboys are trotting out Brandon Weeden and Terrence Williams. Don't do this to yourself man.

Weeden has a higher QB rating the Romo, the stats do not lie....

How do you know exactly where to bold like that?
