2. If the Cowboys aren't up for a Skins/Cowboys game on Thanksgiving, they deserve a beat down. Division rivalries are never trap games. 3. If both teams show-up and play mistake free football, I think we beat them. These two teams are pretty evenly matched and, although neither D is a world beater, I think ours is the better one if ... 4. Tackling is going to be key for our D. Wrap folks up, take good angles, swarm to the ball. While I think it has improved as the season progressed, tackling is one of the first things to suffer when fatigue sets in - which becomes a vicious circle (bad tackling leads to more opposing first downs, more time on the field, more fatigue, worse tackling ...rinse and repeat). Dallas has had a pretty easy schedule. Pittsburg, Baltimore, Philly and the Giants being their toughest tests outside our first game with them. They convincingly beat up on some poor teams (which is what good teams do). They are beatable but we need to stop Elliot (see above on tackling) and figure a way to overcome their Oline advantage against our D. This is a pretty evenly matched game (statistically speaking), and I think it is going to come down to the team that makes fewer mistakes and has the better "want to." I think we will be the team that has the better "want to" but am not convinced we will make fewer mistakes.

On the other hand, I think Barry put Cravens at the nickel position sometimes, another way to have Foster and him on the field at the same time. In that personnel Ihenacho would have the edge over Whitner IMO.

Cowboys fans are talking the smack already. Can't wait to hear the silence by 8pm Thursday night.

Re: It's Dallas week!! Gobble Gobble
My buddy is a huge Boys fan, but he's like me, he doesn't think positive. He's sure of it that we will win.

Re: It's Dallas week!! Gobble Gobble
Strategy: You hit. You take their hits and you smile at them so they know you like it. Then you hit the shit out of them some more. You summon every ounce of pain you've ever felt in your life and you look at the man in front of you and blame him for every moment of it. Like he's responsible for every bad day your wife, your sister, your mother, and your grandmother have ever had. And you punish them for it. You go into the locker room at halftime and you seethe with fury. You come out and on that kickoff you put every man on his back. And in the fourth quarter, when the sparkle starts to go out of their eyes, you crush their spirits and take their will with furious rage.
McCloughan said that we may not always win, but after you play the Washington Redskins, you're going to feel it. Make them.

Re: It's Dallas week!! Gobble Gobble
We should have beaten them week 2.
I know they are a better team now... but so are we! Our D improved tremendously, so as our offense, thanks to KC being on fire, Fat Rob, and better playcalling. As said, they ought to lose one at some point, we might find a way to be the team ending their win streak! Any Ignorant Fan's Key to Stopping the Cowboys running game ?

Hope Norman can teach that right hook trick to a few teammates...

Re: It's Dallas week!! Gobble Gobble
I want to see a GB part II beatdown and bring those punks back to earth.

Re: It's Dallas week!! Gobble Gobble
Hate to say it but I think one of the reasons Dallas o' is so good is because they just don't turn the ball over. The one redeeming quality about Dak is he generally makes good decisions with the ball. Idk if the league has thrown the book at him though, but hopefully we're on top of our game this week. Someone else mentioned but I say shut down Zeke and force Dak to win the game. Throw him some new looks and see if he'll start forcing the ball.
