Weekly Game Threads ! 

Post#1 » by bluejerseyjinx » Mon Sep 27, 2021 2:21 pm

First home game of the season. Our most hated modern day rival. I won't sleep for a week and will be miserable during this span if we loose tonight. Can't stand losing to these scrubs. :wizard: :wizard: I expect a fairly good beat down of the Egals tonight !!

The fact that the Chargers beat KC makes me feel like that win was actually impressive.

We have faced 2 really good teams to start the season...TB and LAC

Tonight vs the Eagles will say a lot, Dallas *SHOULD* beat them pretty handily.

We still have a lot of things that need to be cleaned up. Still too many penalties and bad penalties at the very worse times. Still worried about special teams and McCarthy's piss poor game management. Want to see way more Pollard and less Elliot. Need to be better in red zone. More T.D.'s, less field goals.

Outside of a few big chunk plays, Cowboys looking pretty good. Don't understand McCarthy not using time outs just before the half. We could have gotten another shot for a score with plenty of time.

McCarthy's decision making is definitely suspect but that was a very convincing win against a rival while missing many key players.

This team is very good and I think that week 1&2 we just happen to face 2 teams that are amongst the best in the NFL.

I do think this team is playoff bound, but how deep can they go in the playoffs? I don't know. Staying healthy is huge in this, Dak in particular. Dak has already won Comeback Player of the Year and I think he could put himself in MVP talks if he keeps it up.

One thing's for sure, this is a different Cowboys team compared to last season.

NFC championship is not far-fetched.

Problem is come playoff time, which round will he cost us a game with his piss poor time management skills. He's been lucky the past two weeks he didn't cost us a victory.

Yep in close games (playoffs) it can come down to a coaching error. McCarthy did manage to win a Super Bowl in the past so he is capable. But I am going to worry about that bridge when we cross it. Right now I think primary focus is keeping players healthy. McCarthy did take the starters out in the Philly game once a comeback was out of sight so I was happy with that decision making.

Read on Twitter



We have an elite CB on our hands.

AND he is under contract through 2023 season.

Deion was the last elite CB the Cowboys had since I became a Cowboys fan.

Panthers are 3-0 so this is a pretty big game. Dallas kind of getting lucky that their best player McCaffery is out so Dallas should take this no excuses.

We just come off a Monday night while Panther's have an extra 4 days rest. However, Panthers opponents have been the Jets, Texans and Saints at home when most of their coaches ans some players were off due to covid. I'm not convinced the Panthers are a legit 3- 0 team.

A 5-1 record heading into the bye week is a strong possibility.

I'm looking to see if we show up for more than one game in a row. Its been rare the past few years we play very well back to back weeks. Time to get over that hump.

Panthers miss a field goal. That helps.

Return to Dallas Cowboys
