Can we beat Dallas?

This will be a good game to watch. Wish I could be there but as its been said on paper the Cowboys (Cowgirls) look like the for sure win. With that said you never know week to week in the NFL.
 
We might see Marcus Coleman in action:

Parcells wasn't at all defensive about rookie safety Pat Watkins, who was burned on a 60-yard pass to L.J. Smith, failed to tackle Hank Baskett on an 87-yard touchdown pass, and was caught out of position on a 40-yard flea-flicker touchdown for Reggie Brown.

Parcells said he expects rookies to make mistakes, but with Watkins "it was more than I expected."

Parcells didn't say whether Watkins will start Sunday against Houston. The position could get interesting as veteran Marcus Coleman is eligible to return this week from a suspension.

Well, at least we can be sure we'll have one open reciever. Gimme five.

Or if we luckly get a RB into the secondary on a running play, it could go all the way to the house. Especailly if Marcus gives us some of the Ole tackling he showed against KC last year.

I think we have a chance. Classic trap game. We are in between in Eagles and Giants. Let's hope the Cowboys beat the Eagles and get VERY beat up in the process. Hopefully, they will be looking towards the Giants and overlook us.

With Dallas' recent quarterback woes, it could shape up to be a pretty even game if the D can step up just a bit.:texan:

Do we have a chance? (15-20%?) Sure.

Are we going to win? Not likely.

This is where I'm at. I hope to no end that we beat the Cowboys (how sweet that would be!), but if we lose, life goes on and we'll continue our 'road to wherever...errr...rebuilding'.
 
I'm calling for a shootout again. Dallas' defense is overrated, especially against the pass. They haven't really gotten pressure on the QB and play mediocre pass defense. Letting David Carr have time (best pass rating in the NFL and very careful QB with the football) he will be able to rip the Cowgirls D apart. Andre Johnson has much more speed than any of the Cowboys CBs. I look for a lot of deep balls to Johnson and a big game for him. Carr will throw for 250 yds and 2 TDs en route to a 27-24 victory.

Score Prediction

DAL-42
HOU-17


1) We are coming off a devestating loss, and you can tell that these Boys are out for blood...

2) Dallas Rush Defense vs. Houston Rush Offense
Dallas's defense has two defensive touchdowns this season, not to mention it is 9th in the league overall. Dallas allows 291 ypg overall. We have the 5th best rush defense in the league(allowing a mere 75.2 ypg, and 0 RUNS OF 20 or more!!!) versus a Houston rush offense that is basically non-existant. Houston is 29th in the league in rush yards per game, averaging only 76 yards per game!!! Houstons #1 RB in Ron Dayne is averaging 3.3 ypc and has 153 yards on 47 att, and 0 TD's. Wali Lundy averages only 3.4 ypc with 17 att for 57 yards, and 0 TD.
Dallas should easily take care of Houstons running attack, thus turning this game 1 dimensional for Houstons offense, by using only the passing attack.
EDGE= DALLAS BY FAR

3) Dallas Rush Offense vs. Houstons Rush Defense
Dallas is 4th in the league in rushing offense averaging a whooping 147.2 ypg and they have a total of 7 TD's on the season. Julius Jones has produced 70+ypg this season(currently 86 att 388 yards 2 TD) averaging 4.5 ypc, and has two 100+ yd games in the 4 games we have played(100 vs. PHI, 122 vs. TEN) Julius Jones is the league leading rusher in YARDS PER GAME, at 97 YPG!!!! Not to mention our 2nd back in Marion Barber who has produced nicely this season(27 att 129 yards 3 TD). He is averaging 4.8 ypc.
The Houston Rush defense ranks 25th in the league, allowing an average of 139.8 ypg. This aint gonnna do well against a team commited to rushing the football in the Dallas Cowboys.
EDGE= DALLAS BY FAR

4) Dallas Pass Offense vs. Houston Pass Defense
Dallas has prolific receivers that can make plays. The key overall is giving Bledsoe time. Excluding the Philadelphia game in which Jim Johnson blitzed his defense over 20 times, the Dallas Offensive line has been able to hold up long enough to allow Bledsoe to make key passes. Now on to the pass offense. Terry Glenn is one of the most explosive receivers in the national football league, and he has big play ability written all over him. Same goes for Terrell Owens who is still one of the best WR in the game. Glenn has 20 rec. for 290 yards and 3 TD, averaging 14.5 ypc, Owens has 17 rec. for 232 yards and 1 TD, averaging 13.6 ypc, and our stud TE Witten has 13 rec. for 148 yards, with an averge of 11.4 ypc. These are Bledsoe's go-to-guys, and he tries to get the ball in their hands alot, and when he does, they make plays...
Houstons Pass Defense is ranked last in the league allowing an astonishing 295 yards per game!!! This is very poor pass defense, which might have alot of trouble stopping the Dallas receivers.
EDGE= DALLAS BY FAR

5) Dallas Pass Defense vs. Houston Pass Offense
Dallas's pass defense is ranked 20th in the league in the middle of the pack, allowing 215.8 ypc and has 4 INT's, and 2 DTD. Terence Newman has gone 23 straight games without allowing a touchdown!!! That is what i call a lockdown corner. Qb's rarely look his way, and when they do try to throw it, it is either a bad pass, or it is swatted down. Newman is quietly becoming one of the best lockdown CB's in the league. On the other side we have Anthony Henry who gets more balls thrown his way than any other CB. He makes plays, but he allows some as well. Glenn is our third CB, and he knows the game well. He is still very good even at 33.
Houstons pass offense ranks 21st in the league averaging 193.2 ypc. But Carr is playing extremely well.
EDGE= TOSS UP(CARR IS PLAYING WELL, AND DAL HAS A TALENTED SECONDARY)

6) Dallas DL vs. Houston OL
Dallas's DL is playing extremely well and is a main reason that we are so good in rush defense. They are getting up front pressure and making plays in the backfield. Houstons OL has allowed 15 sacks already this season, and the Dallas defense has 12 sacks this season. I cant wait to see this matchup. Also keep an eye out for ROLB Demarcus Ware. He is getting consistent pressure on the QB, and is always in the backfield stopping RB's in their tracks.
EDGE= DAL

Overall, i think that Dallas wins this ball game and wins it big.
 
if the defense can put pressure on bledsoe the Texans have a shot at this one. if not i think it will be a lopsided win for dallas. i was hoping that t.o. would have had a blowup earlier in the year causing a rift in the team that would basically end any cohesion the cowboys had for the year. he's getting there. shutting him down, causing him to complain more and more during the game can only help the chances of the Texans. i got a lot of beer riding on this game i hope to drink it not buy it
