What if we beat Atlanta Falcons?

[shabazz]

I easily watch 30-35 hours a week not counting attending games.

It never ceases to amaze me what can be accomplished when somebody adopts the celibate lifestyle

I don’t care if suddenly the offense looks like last year (without Cooks and Pollard…no way), but I cannot even imagine how our defense can play a decent game vs Atlanta when it still sounds like no one is returning.

 

[gtb1943]

Yeah I don't believe I've ever seen a team rank dead last in running AND run defense.

we are the Cowboys! we always exceed expectations!
NO ONE ELSE can do what we do.

 

[Bullflop]

It grieves me to admit it, but if the Cowboys beat the Falcons, it's for sure that the Falcons are a dreadfully inept team!

 

[BHendri5]

after seven games you pretty much know how a team is going
our Run D and Run O is pathetic; our O line is struggling Badly; cannot see how anyone thinks this team is going to make the playoffs let alone make any noise there

You’re correct, about the 7 games.
But this team will be better the rest of the season and make playoffs and make noise

 

[Bullflop]

I expect to see the Falcons beat our Cowboys by about 10 points or so. Our injuries on defense seem too bad to avoid it.

 

[Ironicalicon]

Ah, the weekly, obligatory what-if-we-win post... They're akin to a dog jogging into the kitchen when you open a can of tuna.

I still think a fully healthy SF 49ers team is even with the Lions and are the 2 best NFC teams.
I am not sure about Atlanta just yet.
I know they have problems generating a pass rush like the Cowboys.
They've got excellent skill positions at RB and TE though.
Might be an offensive battle between the 2 teams.

Good to finally have an early game on the schedule.

...then i'll be happy on monday.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Getting to 4-4 on the season would keep our playoff hopes alive. Can we beat Atlanta? Yes. Will we? Only if this organization stops being stupid and starts playing real football!! This season is starting to look like a lost cause and I’m as pissed as the next guy, but a win over Atlanta would at least make things interesting and we could end up playing meaningful football on Thanksgiving. Depends on you Cowboys! Step up before it’s too late!!

Look at it realistically. We might not be as good as the Giants right now. A little better when healthy. Stranger things have happened. I just don't expect them to.

 

[ryanbabs]

This team is just so awful…I just can’t get excited about anything they may do at this point.

I would guess 20+

 

[Tabascocat]

I follow quite a bit of NFL handicappers and most are on Dallas +3. A few of the successful, heavy hitters are all over Dallas. I don’t see what they are seeing but any given Sunday. I won’t be partaking in this game though, seems to easy for a Falcons win.

I’ll be there, so a victory would be really nice to see.

We’ve already been underdogs in twice as many games this year as all of last year and we’re only halfway through the season. It’s going to be a slog.

The Falcons are no powerhouse. It will be a good game. I think the Cowboys win. I just don’t equate a victory over the Falcons as indication the Cowboys are a playoff team.

 

[ICP]

Lol, yeah I get the any given Sunday thing but, I don't think that's gonna happen

 

[Streifenkarl]

The Falcons simply aren't a good football team. Their standings do not reflect their quality imo. Personally I think we HAVE to beat the Falcons if we want to claim being anything close to a play off contender.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

 

[MizzouCowboy4]

I don't think the stealers are a good team. Middle of the pack maybe.

They better either Rus starting
