They're allowing the same number of yards-per-play as last year: 6.1.



They don't have a good pass rush, with 6 sacks on the year. Considerably worse than last year, when they finished with 34.



They're on pace for 1 more turnover than last year, with a team turnover ration of -1(granted, quite a bit better than us).



Their opposing team's 3rd down conversion percentage(42%)is the same as our opponent's, and only slightly lower than theirs last year(43%).





Sorry, not impressed. Although I would say Marinelli is doing a solid job considering the kind of talent they have.

They are tackling better. Doesnt show up in the stat lines. They are being coached above and beyond their talent level. Haslett doesnt even know what that means, and he never has.

They can beat the freshman. Not the JV.

Zorn and Spurrier beat the Cowboys?

I hope our guys have more.....chutzpah than many of our posters who have already thrown in the towel before the first snap. These guys are good but....any given day.
AND......as long as there is breath in my lungs I would never give up on the B & G against the boys. Skins get their Sierra together and deliver an upset
Skins 31
Boys. 21

If the majority of the start of the season is any sign of their chutzpah than no,.....they do not.
In no way giving up on them. Will certainly not be wearing Dallas colors or rooting for them on Monday but EVERYTHING about this game point to an absolute disaster. Anyway- lets go Any Given Monday.

I just hope we dont get embarrassed on national tv again.We dont have anybody that can cover Dez and we cant get any pressure on the qb.Now that Orakpo is out I dont see pass rush getting any better.I think Romo and Dez will be playing toss and catch,Dallas wins easily

[jamf]

We are clearly overmatched and I expect us to lose.
With that said, I expect Gruden to be creative find a way to steal a win.


I liked what the Rams did against the Seahawks.
You have nothing to lose except a game we are expected to lose so you might as well bust out some creativity and get this done.

throw out the records.

murder death kill

[HailGreen28]

Jerry Jones' team = 38
Dan Snyder's team = 10

We are headed to the last chance saloon.

We don't just lose on National TV we get hog tied, thrown in a burlap bag and beaten within an inch of our life. It's NEVER close, it's almost always a blow out.

When was the last time we actually won a nationally televised game?

Without looking it up probably Thanksgiving Rg3 rookie yr

How about the division winning game against Dallas in '12? I believe that was a Sunday night.

[Meks]

It was.

If I can garuntee one thing. Its primetime, the refs will be absolutely piss poor eating the cowgirls shit and screw us a few times when it really counts. We come back, get close, get screwed, lose by double digits
