We beat them 42-17 in '06 and the loss in '09, which was our only loss to them in the last 9 meetings, was 24-17... hardly a shootout. In 2012 we weren't even good and we still got a big lead and then just sat on it. We didn't sit on a big lead the next time we played them.

The Cowboys are perfectly suited for being pummeled by the Saints. Where we are strong they are weak. Where we are weak, they have greater weaknesses that mask their strengths. For instance, they have some good players on offense, but because they are so bad on defense they become one dimensional on offense, as they are always playing from behind. Then there's the Romo issues I mentioned before. That allows our defense to tee off, and offensively, as I said, they have no answer to stop us. There are other good offenses that they struggle with, but other than '09 where we slept through the first 3 quarters, we have been their kryptonite. That's why in my opinion this game represents the greatest test of where this team is mentally. If we can't pressure Romo, then our defense is truly bad and not just in a funk. And if we struggle against that defense then obviously we've got problems.

I don't anticipate that we'll struggle on offense, but I really want to see us get after Romo. We'll give up some plays like we always do, but if we force them into mistakes and get out to a nice early lead we should take control.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Hicks had a sack right

ball control, we need long sustained drives. Against their d we should, notice should be able to accomplish that. That will take pressure off our D and with a couple of decent plays we should be able to get a win.

I expect Brees to target cornerback Mo Claiborne EARLY and OFTEN. Outside of that INT late in their game against the Rams, Claiborne has been about as disappointing as Patrick Robinson has been for us over the last 3 years.

Jimmy will dominate in this game. I hate predictions but 150+yds and two scores for JG.

I read somewhere that they could bench him.

He definitely appears to be having an off season. His play was terrible in the Rams game but for the INT. I still think he has a lot of raw talent but folks forget he's a streaky player. Even at LSU his sophmore year was poor compared to his junior and final year before he was drafted.
