Upcoming games

[dfense]

Watching this weeks games a few things come to mind about some upcoming games.

1. The Lions are a mess. I never saw Stafford look as bad as he did, and at home. The Lions usually play well against Dallas. Hopefully they'll suck in a few weeks to.
2. Houston's defense is so overhyped. Brady had all day. Where was Watt and Clowney?
3. Jacksonville's offense. Where was it? Fournette got dinged up. Bortles QBR 40.
4. Seattle gave up 6 sacks and 329 yards through the air. No legion there anymore.

Carolina might have been their toughest game of the first 5.

The way they looked against Carolina, 1-4 or 2-3 at best. If they find a groove and level the Giants, I’ll amend that to 3-2 or 4-1, but I have my doubts. Depends largely on Linehan, IMHO.

It will be interesting. I take Houston and Jax D over Cowboys O everyday of the week.

I can see them beating Det/Sea, but I think they lose to NYG/Jax/Hou.

Fortunately, there are very few good teams these days. The NFL is a bunch of yuck.

The games last weekend were ugly.

So Seattle may now be "the Legion of Room" as in Room in the secondary....

They are now missing Baldwin for a few weeks, so better for our D.

1st week= Smoke N mirrors. It's like that winter morning trying to get that old lawnmower running. I think this week, we begin to see the pistons emerge on teams. Those that have em and those that do not.

On rare occasions you have late bloomers. Those that begin to run the table during mid-season. Kinda weird, but it happens.

 

[cowboyec]

like every other team...(except for NE)....we are week to week.
one thing about the Nfl....(except for NE)....is nothing's for sure.
BEAT ny

I wouldn't count Stafford out yet. I'm sure by the time we play him he'll have his timing back.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

I think many teams suffered from no preseason play and a lot of the games were lackluster.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

so many of the teams are now waiting to play their "ones" so the first few games are just getting acclimated to game speed. Thats is why so much sucky play this last week. jmho

 

[John813]

Jacksonville offense is like ours. TOP, limit turnovers and run the rock.

Big difference is their defense is a notch or two above ours.
Expecting a low scoring game decided off turnovers.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Think every game will be tougher than Carolina except for maybe seattle.

..that last game was not Stafford. I wonder if the new coach is posing a problem? Its been a long while, ...Lions been hammered like that.

It's week 1. Remember how badly Romo played in week 1 of 2014? He even questioned whether or not he could still play based on that game. I'm sure by the time we play Detroit Matt will not be the total dolt he was against the Jets. It's just week 1 rust and him trying to do too much.

What? You think NYG and Detroit are better than Carolina?

The Giants, I'm not even kidding, might pick #2 overall next year. They are that bad. The only team worse is Buffalo.

 

[CouchCoach]

With what I saw in week 1, I wouldn't make any long term, 5 games in this case, predictions. What we saw this past weekend was the proof that preseason is worthless and I only watched 4 games but analysts referred to that in every game.

Back in the day when they were called exhibition games, the opening couple of weeks the offenses struggled and the scoring was down. And in the CAR-DAL game, neither O looked good and I can say the same for ATL-PHL and JAX-NYG.

That's why I am going to back off on the predicting until I see the Cowboys in the next two games. Those D's are not as stout as CAR and we should know a lot more about this offense. No player on that offense had a good game Sunday and one game is too small a sample size.

 

[links18]

We'll be 1-4 after 5 games, if they play like they did against Carolina. If the O-line doesnt improve, the season is over.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Nothing from last game should indicate we win these games. Id imagine fans of those teams are also marking themselves as wins against Dallas.

What are you saying? That there is a chance we could actually win one of the first 6 games? What are you high or sumpin

Other than the Houston and Detroit games, most of what I saw were high/lowlights of the future opponents mentioned.

The problems I noticed appeared to be largely caused by “preseason hangover”; teams still needing to get everyone on the same page after giving the bulk of their starters fewer-than-usual preseason game-reps — an issue the Cowboys are obviously having to deal with.

IMHO, the teams that get up to speed quickest in the next few games are more likely to win.

Time will tell...
