Why can't we beat Seattle?

[Szczepanik]

It will be close if Ro is playing.

No Ro= uh oh.

Who else read this in a Scooby-do voice? Be honest.

The problem is the Cowboys can't sneak up on anyone even if they were 0-5. Well, they're 4-1 and they're the Cowboys so Seattle will be ready as will every team we face. Teams tend to show up against us so we will have to play one of our better games to win. But by all means we can beat Seattle in Seattle.

I read it in the Astro voice,,, "Rokay Reorge".

 

[ghst187]

don't care as long as Dez whips loud-mouth Sherman blatantly and repeatedly

 

[Chuck 54]

We are and should be underdogs, but we can defeat Seattle. They do not have an offensive juggernaut, not even with Harvin.

Keys to having a chance at victory?

1. Rolando McClain must play; even better if Carter plays. If both are out, any chance is minimal indeed.
2. Secondary must continue physical play and tackle well. Wilcox came up huge today.
3. No sloppy turnovers by our offense.

In our favor?

1. In their loss, Chancellor was exposed big time in coverage by TE.
2. Smallest defense in NFL vulnerable to the power running game, our strength.
3. Dez can make plays vs any DB in man coverage, and they play lots of man.

Why can't we beat Seattle?

Going to come down to stopping the run. You saw how bad they were when McClain exited the game.

 

[Vintage]

The good news is, our OL is equipped to handle Seattle's defense better than most. If the offense can play mistake free, we will have a chance. I'm more worried if our defense can hold up.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

We need to win the turnover battle to beat seattle.

Not many times will a team give up 3 or more turnovers and still win...We've done it twice.

 

[Bleu Star]

Im starting to believe. I may get killed here at the zone by some for being optimistic, but why the hell not.

Who said we couldn't?

 

[Lodeus]

Just don't let Lynch and Harvin go off and we have a chance.

 

[Fredd]

Dallas is on the see-saw playing well one week, and poorly the next...they played poorly today so it stands to reason that they play a much better fundamentally sound game in Seattle...never say die

 

[Direwolf63]

Why can't we beat Seattle?

Because we aren't good enough.

That being said, there are such things as moral victories. If we can keep it within ine score going into the 4th quarter and make them work for it, I'd be happy.

Just don't make it easy for them by playing dumb and turn the ball over.

Yes, Astro was actually the 1st character to say Ruh-roh.

Astro, Scooby and Muttley were all voiced by the same guy.

 

[windward]

Why not indeed? It's a bit much to expect them to win but I suspect we are in for an entertaining game next Sunday.

And yeah I feel better about our chances then at any time this season.

Just bring it, Seattle. We will see where we match up.

 

[JohnsKey19]

If McClain can play, I feel a lot better about our chances defending the Seahawks power running game.

Gotta eliminate turnovers and keep the game in the teens. Gotta win on 1st downs on both sides of the ball.

 

[JsnSA]

I almost would prefer Garrett pull a Popovich and rest any players that have questionable health for the Seahawks game.

I don't think anyone expects the Cowboys to win that game and with their current record losing this one game won't hurt too much.

I'd sit any key players (McClain, Carter, Melton) who are dealing with nagging injuries and try to get them healthy again before our upcoming games against the lions and skins.
I think the Cowboys now stand a real good shot at making into the playoffs and if health holds up should finish the season much stronger than they started it (especially on Defense).

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Early line is Seahawks by 9....

 

[Blackspider214]

If you want to beat Seattle on the road, you can't have all these special teams penalties, Harris fumbling, multiple drops, Murray fumbling and being unable to put away a game. If we played how we did today next week, we lose by 21. Seattle does not need any help.

 

[Hostile]

Im starting to believe. I may get killed here at the zone by some for being optimistic, but why the hell not.

It's a damned shame so many of us feel like we can't be positive on a forum dedicated to our team. Right there with ya.
