So it's game day! I'm excited, but my optimism is tempered...
The keys to the Cowboys making a game of this will be turnovers... Dallas has 4 turnovers in 2 games, while forcing 0 turnovers in those games... On top of that, as bad as Dallas has polayed for 2 weeks, despite the turnovers, the penalties, etc, if Buehler makes a couple FG's Dallas could easily be 2-0... However, Houston is a much better team than the Bears and Skins, so Dallas' only chance of winning there is to bring their A game... The Texans are good enough to beat Dallas, even if the Cowboys can find their A game, and they'll get blown out if they continue to play the way they have been...
Dallas' defense will have to win this game, and I'm not sure they're currently capable of it... We all know Ware's a beast, Ratliff plays NT at an elite level, and Spencer's better than average too, yet Dallas has a whopping 2 sacks in 2 games, with 0 turnovers... Dallas does have a legitimately good defense, but with those stats, something's seriously wrong here...
I will say this though, a lot of you Texan fans are acting as though the Cowboys are outclassed in terms of talent, but I assure you, a lack of talent is not the issue, a lack of execution is the issue... Don't let the 2-0 vs 0-2 records fool ya, this is a dangerous game for the Texans...
All that said, unfortunately I'm still picking Houston today... Dallas needs to play desperate, but focused... I know they'll bring the desperation, but I don't think this team can muster 60 minutes of focused football, and that's what it's gonna take...
Enjoy the game....
