In your opinion which game will give us the most trouble, the Saints in New Orleans or the Packers in Dallas? I'm thinking the Saints game will be the tougher match up even without Brees...........

I live in LA and the fans around here love to hate the Cowboys. They will have the superdome rocking until we shut them up. I still say New Orleans.

I don't mean to try and overlook the Saints, because they are a good team, but I definitely think Packers. They have a very solid looking defense this season and stoopid Rodgers just seems to own this team. We are like 3-7 against Green Bay in our last 10 meetings.

Both games will be battles. If Dallas drops a dirty bomb on either of these teams I'd be pleasantly surprised.

Depends on the refs......who are bound and determined to show the NFL world who's really in charge. JMO, of course.

Both will be equally hard, IMO.

For the Saints game: We are playing in the dome. Teams are notorious for losing in that dome. It's loud and proud and full of Saints fans. On top of that, Kamara will have a field day on our defense. Bridgewater isn't an ideal QB, but he def should not be ruled out when he has Michael Thomas on the receiving end. Also, the Saints have a good run D. Not as big of a worry now that we have a growing passing attack, however, Peyton is a coach that knows how to adjust and prepare his teams for different opponents. This will be no cake walk. I see us winning this, but not as easy as some think.

For the Packers: We will be at home this game. Dak and Co play great at home. Jerry World will be alive. However, Rodgers is an infamous Cowboys slayer. No matter how far behind/ahead we are, Rodgers comes to slay and play. He is no easy foe. They also have a running game and defense now. Add in the fact that our front 7 is playing at a PeeWee level along with only a "decent" secondary, Packers will likely have a field day on us. Unless our offense can overcome their defense, I cannot see us pulling a win with this one unless our defense steps up. Our defenses in the past who have played better than this haven't been able to stop Rodgers. What makes you think this one will?

Just would love to go 3-1 over the next 4 games is all I really care about with 1 of the wins Philly.

honestly would be best to lose to the Jets!

Rodgers

Get in and get out and if we have the ball down 1 in our own territory bleed the clock out and kick a last second fg


Dont let that mad man touch the ball

There are no gimmes in the NFL but based on the first 3 weeks Cowboys got
an easy college like start. Out of the remaining games I'm seeing two easy wins
left. However the Giants will be better and the Skins sliding towards a Miami like
dumpster fire.

Dallas is 3-0 but the games against Cocodrie Tech and Wofford are behind them.

Definitely the Packers!! Can't stand A. Rodgers, but man, he's had our number the last several years!! He will kill us with less than 30 seconds on the clock!!! Have to make sure we hang onto the ball until the very end of the game!!! Keep Rodgers OFF the field!! PLEASE!! I still have PTSD from all the times that man has broken our hearts!! :(

The saints are a better team. The only way GB beats us is with Rodgers making some crazy plays. And if you’ve been paying attention he looks like he’s slowed down.

I think both will be big challenges to the Cowboys. I do see better play coming from GB defense and of course with Rodgers back there they always have the ability to over come any situation. NO I think is a good team but not sure Bridgewater can make those big plays that Brees is known for

While both are tough games, I think the Packer one will be harder. Cowboys will be coming off a Sunday nighter on the road against a tough opponent with arguably the best home field advantage in the league. The Packers are playing on Thursday night at home, and will have extra time to prepare. The Packers also have the secondary play to hang with the Cowboy receivers, and the additions of Preston and Za'Darius Smith have given them an actual pass rush. Not to mention that Rodgers has loved vexing the Cowboys at every turn.

Also, Mike Pettine is very underrated as a DC. If there's a game where the inexperience of Kellen Moore could be exposed prior to the Patriot game, this is it.

Saints,,, by a large margin ,,, as Green Bay is fixing to be poleaxed & once their revived with the clarity of functional consciousness,will collectively be left with a season long uncontrollable facial twitch / musculature spasms ,once commonly referred to as a : nervous ticko_O
