Through 2 weeks the Cowboys defense ranks #2 in overall defense, #1 against the run.

No Tevin Coleman for the Falcons today so I expect to see a one-dimensional Atlanta squad. Ryan is going to make some bad throws today and I think we make him pay for those mistakes.

I also mentioned this last week, we have to get something out of our return game. The coaching staff has to make things easier for this offense and that means making adjustment with the PR so that we can hopefully win some of the field position battles. If they insist on keeping Beasley in at PR we're dooming Weeden and the offense to a day of 70+ yard drives.

I think the Cowboys find a way to get it done. All week long the team has had to listen to how everyone else in the division other than Dallas is the front-runner to win the division.

Cowboys 20
Falcons 16

GM Jerry talked up Weeden's arm last week but what worries me is his ability to recognize/diagnose what defenses are doing at the LOS.

Romo is up there with Brady and Manning as far as pre-snap reads are concerned.

Atlanta will probably be able to fool Weeden some.

Quinn's defense is usually very simple and they don't have great coverage safeties.

I don't think dez Bryants return means jack squat if Romo's not throwing it to him.

We need this game.
I agree. If for nothing else to give Weeden some confidence. He is going to need that over the next few weeks if stand a chance at coming out of this stretch 4-3.

Heh.

To each their own. I find a good fap before a game relives the jitters.
And, you can have that without having to resort to looking at circus animals to do so.

Me too. Especially when there is a damn good chance we lose. Makes the rest of the day suck even more.

I like them every now and again. It breaks things up and you don't have to sit around all day, especially for the night games.
