Abandon all hope. The Cowboys are winning by 78 points. A random kid with down syndrome from the crowd will throw the last TD.

I was hoping you'd swoop in here and tempt the football Gods. Thanks! :beer2::woozy2:

The way you slow down the pass rusn is to run right at the SOBs. The advantage switches to the OL. They need to use Royce as their lead RB. A power run attack between the tackles will slow down the pass rush. The DL will condense and make it easier to pass block. IMO that is the key to beating the Cowboys. Get the DL on their heels then pass. Quick developing routes. Probably a big day for Higbee if he plays.

The Cowboy defense is the strength of this team. Beat their defense and you beat the Boys. Score early and make Dak play from behind and he will turn the ball over.The Cowboy secondary is good but they haven't faced Stafford and a WR group as good as Kupp, Nacua and Atwell. The Cowboys play a base nickel so running the ball against a light box is a must.

I believe this is live on sky for us lucky enough to live this side of the pond.

This kinda feels like a Mcvay Achilles heel game. Dallas has a nasty pass rush. Hoping I'm wrong but I can see if playing right into their game.

The Cowboys D started out like a house of fire with 10 sacks in their first two games. They have 6 in the last 4 games (2-2-1-1). They scored 3 defensive TDs and a ST TD in their first 4 games, none in the last two.

On offense, after scoring 70 (57 on offense) in their first 2 games, they've scored 6 TDs and 9 FGs in the last 4 (17.2 PPG). They averaged 4.1 ypc on the ground (137 - 565) in the first 4 games and in their last two games just 3.4 (45 - 153). And they've allowed 12 sacks in the last 3 games (3 - 4 - 5) after allowing just 3 in their first 3 games. They've scored 10 TDs in 6 games (6 passing; 4 rushing) on the year.

This will be a boom or bust game. If mcvay doesn't play into Dallas game plan we have a chance. If we do it'll be a long day.

I don't see us winning this one. That last game took the excitement out of me. If we can't beat a marginal team I don't see us beating a legit playoff team.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but same here. I don't think I will watch any more games this season.... Live anyway. I will watch replays if I think it's worth it. The Rams broke me last week, haha. I really wish I didn't care as much as I do... It's pathetic..and I am sure I will get flamed for even posting this. So be it. I will be playing golf Sunday and enjoying time with friends.

Being retired I play my golf on weekdays. Not as busy. And the online deals make it cheaper. Even though my expectations were lowered after that game, they aren't any different than they were before the season.

I expected them to be a team that loses more than they win. I think last game showed that is who they are. But I will still watch. I want to see Puka in action. And guys like Young and Turner continue to develop.

The Rams can win this but there's no room for error. I think McVay has to let Stafford get the ball out quick and not get carried away with the pass game like he tends too.

As for other things is it true Stafford is playing with pain? He looked fine to me against the Steelers and made some great escapes. Thing is though, he has to spread the ball more. He's not going to Tutu like he should and was before Kupp returned. No doubt those two have it going on but he has to spread the ball to keep the defense honest.

The Ram defense has done well but their penalties come at the worst times. They gotta have better discipline in their play because if they can't keep the QB contained he'll have a field day running.

You summed it up perfectly.

McVay has some great coaching attributes. How he falls into some bad habits is somewhat odd. This has been a problem as long as he’s been here. I would think he’d do a deep dive into how he can correct this.

Well, that and I am in Maryland, which makes going to Rams home games a bit difficult. :-)
 
Hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this one going well for us. They have the super OL and DL, and even though I think we're better overall outside of those spots, I think their DL will overwhelm our OL and it could get ugly. Will be presently surprised if we're competitive, similar to how I felt against the Niners.

Real season begins in Green Bay the following week.
