Re: On to the Cowboys
 

The Cowboys seem to have the same offense every year, regardless of personnel. They have the same relative output and when we play them people predict a shootout. But that's only happened once that I can remember. We blow them out again and again, and the reason is because while they put up some yards on us, Romo is one of those guys that gets a little too comfortable in the pocket and it allows even poor pass rushing teams to get to him and that's where you have all the turnovers. And defensively, they absolutely have no answer for us.

That being said, as long as we take care of the ball the usual traits should take over in this game as well. I expected a better offensive showing today, by far, but we own the crap out of the Cowgirls. This would figure to be the game to get it going if it's ever going to happen.

Jordan had that one great play when he beat his guy to the inside for the sack. But whe need to see more production from him. Hicks too.

:confused:The only time we've beat the cowboys easily was last year

2012 matchup went to overtime where colston fumbled but luckily was recovered by Graham
2010 Malcolm Jenkins forces fumble with 2 mins left to go and the cowboys leading, we win 31-27
They beat us in a shootout in 2009 for our first loss

Believe me, it will be a close game and I hate close games

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Hate to say it but we just dont look like we are playing with passion this year. I dont what the deal is. It was pretty obvious that after Brees got slammed, the team finally woke up.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

You may just have put your finger on it...

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

The offensive line didn't even stand up for Brees after he got slammed until he got up and went after the defender

Ref was looking directly at it and threw the flag before brees was even on the ground, akiem Hicks did the same thing to Andrew luck and got called straight away.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

3 of 8 possessions resulting in a score against a team that lesser offenses torched.

The defense looked like a big 10 unit - can shut down a Kent State but unable to compete with any SEC team.

For me, this game gave no indication that any ship was righted. We have played 3 teams projected to have losing records this season and about to play a 4th. Lose to the Cowgirls and it's likely over. 1-4 (Bucs are not as bad as Atlanta made them look) means that the 4th division of the Latvian soccer leagues will be more compelling.

What happened to Louisiana Football?

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

When have projections ever come true?
The eagles were supposed to go undefeated with their dream team - didn't happen
The broncos were projected to outscore Seattle in the Superbowl - didn't happen

Just remember that football is any given Sunday

Our offense had kind of an off day, but did enough to win the game, credit the D for not allowing a TD all game

Here's an example - 2011 we beat the colts without manning 62-7, the following week we lose to the rams 28-14
We still won the NFC south that year and had probably the best offense in NFL history

The offense has put up decent numbers for 2 weeks straight, they had kind of an off day yesterday but that's normal, it will get sorted.

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

I sure hope they don't think the Cowboys will be an easy win

Re: On to the Cowboys
 

Definitely a game of who has the worse defense. If we can get ANY pressure on Romo, that should be enough to turn it in our favor.
