Dallas Week, Part 1

[calia]

OK, in part because I don't want to think about the Chicago game anymore, on to Dallas.



I hope we get Terry and Cosmi back, at least. Noah Brown, to me, has been hurt more than healthy, which is a shame, but I think they should focus more on the guys we have that are healthy -- I am fine with Terry, Deebo, McCaffrey, and Lane as our lead 4 at this point. Very excited to get Cosmi back, as I think he will help open up the right side for the running game and help shore up Conley (whose name I haven't heard called the last 2 games, which is a good thing).



I hope Deebo is healthy. He had 4 catches (on 5 targets) for only 15 yards last night (and 1 catch was 9 yards, so he averaged 2 yards on the other 3 receptions) -- I wonder if the nagging heel injury is causing us to reign him in. Given how bad the Dallas D has been (and how well Dak has played, as much as it pains me to say), we're going to really need to score some points on Sunday.



If we have Terry, Deebo and Cosmi back and healthy, I think we will. I also think JD5 will want to wash the stink of his last offensive play off too.

I'll give the Boys winning the shootout, since it's in Dallas. We will then win the rematch shootout at home.

Dak 45
Jayden 42

i could be wrong but I think the only prediction you have gotten right was GB. In fact, when you picked us in the Chi game i felt a deep sense of doom. so with that in mind I'll say:

us 45
them 42

This is a huge game and a gut check for us. Both teams really need this one as both had tough losses and need a victory. We really need Terry, Cosmi back asap which will help the offense a ton and keep Deebo healthy. Think it will be a good game. Interested to see how JD5 responds after the fumble. Imagine he's laser focus going forward.

Raisehail!

I just want Terry, Cosmi and Brown back on the field. We need these guys if our defense is gonna suck again

McCaffrey and Lane have played well in their absences. McCaffrey has hands and has been impressive on returns. Easy to see Lane has jets. Really want to see Terry, especially, get back asap. He has to be chomping at the bit to return and ball out.

I think whoever has the ball last will win.

Brown just put on IR. Out at least 4 weeks. A real shame, but we can’t count in him and it’s hard to imagine he’s back next year.

You know, I was just looking at the scores of Dallas games this season:

PHI 24
DAL 20

NYG 37
DAL 40

CHI 31
DAL 14

GB 40
DAL 40

NYJ 22
DAL 37

CAR 30
DAL 27

They've had some real clunkers -- they got thumped by the Bears and just lost to Carolina. Even the pathetic Jets put up 22 points on them, and the Giants -- whose offense isn't scaring anyone -- put up 37 on them.

Our offense needs to -- and should -- score 40+ points. If we can generate consistent pressure on Dak, we should win this game. Between that and pounding the rock and keeping Dak off the field, this feels winnable. But they've got to play with a sense of urgency. I like the comment I heard from DQ -- “It’s the kind of loss that pisses you off. Those can have some real meaning if you lean into it.”

They need to lean into it and take out the frustration on Dallas -- beating the crap out of them in their house would wash a lot of this stink off.

Terry is able to practice and might play. Brown went on IR.

Cosmi and Jones full practices. Having both back should help the OL and Secondary respectively, though more so the former.

Really want to see us run the ball more early on. Owning TOP is going to be important.

100% agree.
