Rams are the Highest Ranked Team in points scored!
This really could be a trap game!!
---------
3 games feasting on arguably the two worse teams in the league.
They are definitely improved but even looking at stats with such a small sample size is silly.
---------
Are we suppose to laugh or be impressed with those stats?
---------
Small sample size or not, when you put together two or more high scoring games, this should make you take notice. By the way, Wade has a couple of game bullets waiting for the Cowboys on defense. Moral of story is, "He who takes lightly the other team should not be surprised when you LOSE"!
----------
Their Offense has been playing great. Lets hope we go out and control that clock.
---------
Not skeered! :laugh:
One small concern though.....Wade will know how to address our offense because it probably hasn't changed much since he left :grin:
--------
He doesn't know Linehans playbook. And Wade hasn't faced Dak or Zeke.
--------
Sure, they have beat "lower" teams, but the Rams were a hot mess last year.
Will it last? Nope. But impressive that they have been able to do that considering how bad they were last year at putting up points.
---------
their average drops down after this week...after they get 20 against us, their average drops from 35.7 to 31.75....no worries
---------
Washington ran for 229 vs them. Zeke, Dak and company should be feasting.
----------
this is the best offense we will play so far. yes Denver killed us but i think this rams offense is better.
They have three very good wr's who are playing well and athletic tight ends and of course gurley, Goff has played great.
this game will be a dogfight. Sean Mcvay knows how to attack our defense. They have 10 days rest and its a noon start where Dallas traditionally is sluggish.
----------
So what. And they barely beat the 49ers, who scored 39 on them.
----------
It was a half-joke but Linehans playbook isn't exactly hard to figure out and it is still Garrett's scheme. With that said, the Rams will not beat Dallas
----------
Every team in the NFL knows the Cowboys playbook. You can find it in the vanila section of any grocery store.
---------
BTW, I watch the Rams game with my dad, who has folllowed them since the '60s. I became a Boys fan in the late 70s, and my dad has followed them with me. He loves the Boys if not more than the Rams. So I know what the Rams are and yes, Goff has improved.
Our d is starting to get healthy and hopefully Awuzie or Carroll will return, giving us more depth at cb. Very least, Carroll will return. Awuzie, they prob won't rush him back.
----------
Well, it's figuring out our OL and Dak behind center with Zeke. Zeke has shown flashes, but I expect him to feast on the Rams bad run d.
---------
Yea, there is little chance that they can stop our run game. This week that all straightens out.
---------
We are deeper at wr, haven't even used Swit yet at wr, I expect the Boys to use him some more this game. As for knowing how to attack our defense? Our defense is an unknown, we don't even know what it is fully at this point. But we are getting better and the young guys in the secondary are showing what they can do. The pass rush will only improve with DMoore back in the fold.
--------
Best thing for Dallas... playing this game at home lol
I think the offense found its spark and turned the corner on MNF. The Rams are catching us at a bad time for them-- confidence is back, defense is playing well, and we should be healthier than we have been all year.
Running game should look better on Sun.
Dallas 27
LA 23
-------
I say Zeke has a big day and Dak will move outside the pocket more. If the 49ers can score 39 vs that d, I say...
Dallas 42
Rams 21
--------
The only time that franchise put up more points over the first three games was the "greatest show on turf." They have talent. I know the schedule and all but Sammy Watkins and Todd Gurley are legit weapons.
Nonetheless I expect the Dallas Cowboys to dominate them.
--------
They definitely look like a much improved team. I think they are too good to be considered a trap game. I also think we had our trap game in Denver. Only in the second half of the MNF game did this team resemble the 2016 Cowboys so I would hope they know better than to overlook anyone. But we'll see.
--------
Its 3 games and they have a major outlier game as far as scoring, just as we do as far as giving up 42 points. We are NOT a team who is likely to give up 42 points. They are not (yet) a prolific scoring team
-------
Hey, it's a current snap shot...that part is a good share. Now, an early attempt of after-action-analysis.
Their defense has been difficult to describe, beyond not answering the call.
The Dallas offense should put much additional pressure on their offense, as should DeMarcus Lawrence.
Let Smith and Lee mold some more, and please let their running back come into the game singing: 'I am the greatest.'
--------
When we beat the Rams I fully expect the "experts" to say that they aren't a good team. Meanwhile Brady can throw 5 TDs against the helpless Colts and he's praised for it.
---------
The biggest worry is that Dallas has a short week coming off a tough, physical road game (two actually), and the Rams have had 10 days off to get healthy and prepare. Donald is getting his legs under him, and if Lee and Lewis are unable to play, that can mead lots of Gurley catches for big plays, as they've used him in the passing game very well.
Cowboys can't start slow again, because McVay and Phillips will be all over that. Cowboys have to establish their ball control attack and keep the Rams offense off the field.
--------
I seem to remember our RBs regularly having a field day against the Rams. From Julio Jones to Murray and now hopefully Zeke.
---------
They are going to have a hard time scoring without the ball. This is the week Zeke feasts.
---------
I'm amazed at how much Goff has improved. Remember we just played them in the PS and he looked good. Not gonna be easy but they never are folks. Chaz will have his hands full with Donald.
---------
Their major outlier game, as far as scoring, is the game against Washington where they only scored 20.
---------
Gurley is scary fast and, at the moment, playing better football than Zeke. I do think, however, the Cowboys defense just might be their biggest challenge to date.
