So far, they have looked a bit like they've regressed from last year's unit.

They have issues with play action and stopping deep passes. That's something that could easily be exposed by the Packers, if Aaron Rodgers actually shows up next week and don't act like a baby.

Gonna take some really good decoy design by Payton to get things done on the offensive side of the ball.

Cooks needs to go for minimum 80 yards and Ginn probably the same.

Dallas is not the same defense year to year. Also, that game was on a Thursday night after Thanksgiving where Dallas has been so used to playing more than other teams. They've won five in a row in that slot.

Last year, also, Dallas was a different team on the road. They looked good at home and then get shutout at the Colts. They also was engaged in a high scoring shootout at the Giants week 17.

Dallas has also played NO ONE. They have a predictable 3-0 record to start the year. Their offense looks so good as well because of that schedule. But their offense is highly exaggerated by lesser key players showing up. These lesser players have shown not to step up when the pressure is on the stars and this game tonight will be an example of that. The only concern I have is they will burn us for some plays but they will not be as explosive as they have been so far. I don't expect the likes of Gallup, Jarwin, or Smith to do anything tonight. Also, I am only concerned about if our offense without Brees can respond to the pressure against a team who has the intimidation factor in their corner. In other words, not beating ourselves.

I think we see Deonte Harris get more involved in the offense today. End around’s, jet sweeps, screens, etc. A little trickery with the speedster to catch Dallas off guard.

Throwing it out there ... If Southlake aka Jordan H is active today, I think he makes one big play tonight.

I'm almost certain Dallas defensive game plan is to take away Kamara and MT so Jared Cook must step up tonight.

Gotta believe Sean Payton will be very creative tonight with his play calling.

I'm seeing this take a lot and I don't get why people get excited when a marginal player that just got placed on the 53 will all of a sudden make a huge play. The chance he sees the field is so minimal, which means his chance of doing anything much less a huge play is just not feasible.

I hope you're right and prove me wrong.

Better chance Harris gets involved in the offense tonight.

Neither Gleason or Harris see much of the field, very impactful plays.

Unfortunately for us Edelman, Thielan and Cooper Kupp's of the world are not available to us

. You have to trust and roll with the roster you have.

I'm a glass half full kind of guy. I am not optimistic about this game but after the way the team played in all phases I'm certainly not pessimistic either. Some of ya'll need to take a Xanax or smoke a doobie.

The win last week has us in a better place than most of us anticipated. Let's remember that we are at the end of a brutal stretch of football and the schedule looks easier going forward with TB while we await Drew's return.

Agreed.
