Garrett plays it really safe on road games a lot. That worries me, because that defense is ASKING to get picked apart. I love that we are winning on time of posession in our games, but that needs to translate to points to be effective.

This is the eighth time in 11 years the Cowboys have managed a 2-1 record through three weeks. They failed to improve to 3-1, instead falling to 2-2, on six of those seven previous occasions.

Next week’s game against San Diego will be telling in that regard.

We need to win this game if we want to be taking seriously. Because next week is going to be very tough against Denver. Losing this game could very well mean 2-3 and you could possibly let the others back in the division race doing that.

I'm not surprised we are favored. San Diego is 1-2 and their defense stinks. These are not the old Chargers teams we have played in the past when they were always at top of the AFC.

I think we are legit if we go in there and get a win.

Believe it or not, I think a road game in San Diego is almost as tough as a home game vs Denver.

Why is that? The game will likely be a home environment for the Cowboys. SD is a Cowboys town.

You still have to travel and face a team that didn't. It matters.

And, to be honest, I don't think the Cowboys have some big advantage in talent. I think the two teams are pretty evenly matched.

Just for those ripping on Risen Star for picking against the cowboys...he picked for them this past game.

Just saying that maybe you should not get your knickers in a knot.

It has nothing to do with who he picks. It's his posting history. By far the most negative on the board. I have complaints from time to time, but that's pretty much all he does.

It also isn't as if he is predicting a major loss or blowout. 26 to 23 in a road game against a decent opponent is not a far fetched theory.

If it bothers you so much that you need to respond to his negative nature and also explain it others...I suggest you put him on Ignore, I wish I could put some people on ignore but I cannot since I am a mod.

I'm always interested in what Risen Star has to say. Rather than just "negative", I would say his commentary at times serves as a dissenting opinion - one just as valid as that of anyone else, but not generally representing that of the majority of this forum. I don't see his posts in that category as being negative, just different.

No way that he is by far the most negative here. Not even remotely close.

our win/loss record vindicates a negative posting history though
