The Saints will have to find a way to run the ball and make some big plays on offense, defense and special teams to win this game. Can they? Sure. Will they? I certainly hope so. Is it more or less likely? Less.

Of course, every game is different, but the last time we played the Cowboys and they held us to 10 points (WHICH EVERY TALKING HEAD AND COWBOYS FAN SEEMS TO BE TALKING ABOUT) was at the end of a long, brutal run of games, it was a Thursday night game on the road on a short week after playing the Falcons, and the Saints were already very banged up with injuries. We knew that game was going to be a tough slog going into it (short week of rest) and going into that Cowboys game last year, five of the Saints' previous six games were against either division rivals or playoff caliber teams. It was a long run, and the Saints were inevitably just running on fumes, no wonder they were flat and played a dull, uninspired game.

This is just a long-winded way of saying, don't read too much into the Cowboys' defensive performance against the Saints last year, or the Saints' offense with Drew sputtering against the Cowboys last year (if that's how you want to look at it).

Obviously, the Teddy factor will be a huge unknown. But don't use the results of last year's game as a reason to be scared! DIfferent game, different year.

I went through last years Cowboys schedule, their was only 2 teams they beat with winning records, 3 counting playoffs. They were Saints, Eagles, and Seahawks. Seahawks got the best of them in the regular season though.

Im not scared of Dak or Elliot, wasnt last year even though they beat us. It was their defense that got the best of us.

Dak is no Watson or Wilson. our run defense is pretty good so Elliot wont beat us. The real question is what can Bridgewater do vs Dallas D.

This year Dak has improved greatly and is playing much better. I wish he didn't play for Dallas, cause I liked him at Miss State and think he could become a better QB.

Call me crazy, but I think we win this game if the defense plays well. They can fix their mistakes from last year's match and Dallas is a team that is buying into their own hype. Look at how they struggled with an awful Miami team.

They play us and Green Bay next. One of us is going to end up beating them.
