I usually ignore these sort of threads but hell I am bored.
Blasphemy! :eek:

Cowboys fans strike back at ROD.

Rams message board
They seem pretty confident for a team who scored one touchdown in two games. Once again, just like the Titans fans, we are getting no respect. To them it's very simple to stuff Murray and stop Dez. Someone please inform them that you cannot stuff the box and double a receiver.
http://www.ramsondemand.com/threads/rams-vs-cowboys-predictions.30443/
My prediction:
Cowboys:28
Rams:10
I think they come out early with the mentality of stopping Murray until Dez starts going off. I can see Dez putting up big numbers in the first quarter and then Murray taking over in the second. We win the game even if Weeden starts.

You can't read the thread unless you have an account there
-----------
It's a shame this board isn't more like the Rams board.
-----------
Well to be honest - I've seen comments in here that we can now beat the Saints. I'm sure they will be howling with laughter on their boards next week and I would have a hard time blaming them.
---------
The Rams have talent on their defense. We all concede that. I only hope it doesn't take this week to gel.
---------
Much like the appearance of the forum, I'm sure its all jokes. Dont have permission past post 1 though..
---------
they may very well sell out to stop the run. if they do romo has to be sharp and make them pay. we will run the ball but if they stack the box they can't double dez unless they want to leave someone uncovered. we need romo to be sharp for this game and they won't be able to load the box.
---------
I just don't see how they could think it's possible to outscore us. Unless we shot ourselves in the foot, again, I predict a 2-1 record for our Cowboys by Sunday evening.
----------
If you lock down Dez, Demarco is literally all they have left. If Janoris locks him down, it opens the door to stack the box.
----------
Lol at janoris locking down Dez. He'll need help all game long or it's over. Only way they win is if their offense finds something that works.
------------
Jenkins is not going to lock Dez down by himself. That's silly for anyone to even think that.
I believe Dallas will win this game but it won't be a run away like some think and it will be a pretty tough game. I think an ugly W is what we get Sunday and I'm fine with ugly W's.
----------
Both teams are 1-1..why should we berate them for being optimistic in their team vs another 1-1 team at home?
----------
From a records perspective....i'd rather be a Cowboy than a Saint.
Also, after losing to the Browns and the Falcons who were then humbled by the Bengals...without AJ Green....I doubt the Saints fans are howling about anything.
Just a guess.
----------
The last time the Cowboys visited that stadium probably overconfident they got pimp-slapped. "It's the Rams, dude"
I was in attendance. It was brutal.
----------
I'm not registering to a RAM's forum to see their crap posts.
----------
I sense this game will be a real struggle. We probably win like 19-13 or something and everyone here that said we'll go 3-13 will be mad we are 2-1 with an ugly W
----------
Run-Run-Run!
But in reality, after they see last week's film and looking at their dline, Dallas will have to throw efficiently again to win. As bad as the QB looked with some throws last week, we did have seven 3rd downs converted with passes(which ay have been the most in the NFL) and the overall rating in the 90s.
It was actually fairly efficient for as ugly as it was.
Just run baby.
----------
Don't........care.........about.........the.........Rams, (and spare me the "you better, they're up next") because I won't be on the field......
----------
This is no surprise. Homer fan types are the same across all fan bases.

Rams-Cowboys

I actually see fair amount of respect toward cowboys in that thread.
----------
If I am defensive coordinator I don't let Murray beat me....I make Romo beat me. Load the box with 8 and cheat with DBs. I think we are going to start seeing that as game plan going forward. We will find out soon enough if this just rust or more serious back issues preventing Romo from looking like his old self.
-----------
One thing that continues to amaze me all these years being on the internet is how mad some Cowboy fans are after a win. That is why I'm on record of saying if we ever win another Super Bowl there will be some that complain.
------------
Two pretty pathetic teams, neither fan base has any place to talk.
------------
IF Romo is even more limited than he has been, if McClain is out and Dez is limited (Fisher reported today that he looked obviously hurt in practice) then this game could be come a struggle in a hurry.
I do think that the Rams are going to have to pick their poison....try stopping the run or try stopping Dez. They aren't going to be able to do both.
-------------
You nailed it buddy. I think the time is ripe to game plan to stop our run.
If they happen to be successful, it will be all on Romo. I sure hope he's ready... That was a big if because I still think we can run successfully against a team that tries to load the box and stop it. With that safety up, the recipe is there for some huge runs.
-------------
Yep. Each fan base thinks they're different but in reality they're all the same.
-------------
Rams game plan against the 'Boys should be to stack the box and force Romo to beat them with the pass. Honestly that should be the opposing team's game plan until Romo shows he's 100% healthy. With that said, I think our o-line dominates and we win 31-17 in a ground and pound game.
------------
Then look at what they are saying.
Force Romo to beat them.
Funny, Babe Laughenberg said the same thing about twenty minutes ago on 105.3 in Dallas. They play a similar defense to the Bears 46 with both guards and the center covered. Then they force the quarterback to win it with the secondary receivers because they double Dez.
Now move the safeties a little closer the the line and snuff the outside of tackle runs and it is up to a guy who missed Wednesday because of back stiffness.
Laughenberg reminded he said six months ago Romo will not play all 16 and they better have the back-up ready.
----------
To be honest. If they sell out on the run Idk if romo can beat teams up alone anymore
----------
How dare they not bow down to the mighty .500 Cowboys.
----------
If they can force Romo into throwing the ball they can stop us. I just don't see them stopping the run though.
---------
The Boys are only favored by 1 point.. If I was a Ram fan I would probably believe we would win this game as you probably would. You act as if we are the Pats and Raider fans are saying they'll beat us in Foxboro.
-----------
Let us play the bullies this week. It's probably a one time thing this year.
------------
From what I was reading most of them are pick a close game (rams winning) or picking the cowboys...
-----------
Where's the talent? A lowly Vikings offense put up almost 40.
-----------
Personnel wise....its hard to not see some of the talent on that team. There's a lot of it. That RGIII trade really helped them. There's talent all over there. Will they reach their potential? I don't know. But that defensive line is DEEP and I hope this isn't the week they decide to learn how to stop the run.
----------
We've got no cause to be insulted by their optimism given that Las Vegas has the lambs game at essentially a "pick'em" and they're on their 3rd string QB.
----------
I have a hard time imagining Dallas loses this week. And I don't particularly like our chances this year.
I'm kind of more interested in the Washington/Philly game. Unless we turn the ball over a lot, I think we cruise. Next week, not so much.
-----------
I kind of like the idea of checking other message boards every week... only because its fun..... If the other boards could see the maniacs here, they'd get a kick out of it also.... (I say that with love
)
-----------
All cowboy fans should be nervous going into every game until further notice.
-----------
so, everyone is talking about the Rams stopping the run...you mean, kinda like they did against lowly Tampa when Rainey ran for144yards at a 6+/carry clip? just sayin'
Dallas 30
St Louis 13
---------
I can't blame any fan base for being optimistic.
----------
It's great to go into a game being optimistic, I usually am. But I never take a team lighlty, especially this early in the season. Teams are still trying to find their identity for this year. Some have it established as a carry over from 2013. But every year is different.
I feel the Cowboys should win this game, but on the road, against another 1-1 team, no matter who the played. The Rams also have something to prove.
It will be a tough game. I actually expect a close game at least in the first half. Until I see some consistency in play through a few more games. On both sides of the ball.
Even the vaunted chip kelly loved eagles team, that many "realist" admire on here. They beat a bad Jaguars team, after a bad half. Struggled against the Colts, but did come from behind, with a little help from their striped friends. Sproles won that game, period [and the refs]. But they are 2-0. So we just need to win, no matter if pretty or ugly.
---------
So if the Rams stack the LOS you think Romo can beat them deep? Have you seen the last two games? If anything it would have to be tremendous RAC from Dez to make a big play because Romo can't do it with his arm.
----------
I think this is the week we see dunbar involved in the offense. Maybe some 2 running back configurations. If they load the box, dunbar is going to see the ball on the outside.
---------
Anyway, if Romo's back is a problem it will be a real cat and mouse game with him and the Rams defense if they sell out to stop the run.
---------
Doesn't need to go deep. Run some quick slants, 20 yard posts. short to medium routes, with all the WR's & TE's. Though TE may stay back to block.
Take the 10 to 20 yard gains, or even if they are 7 to 10 yards. If it's effective and gets 1st downs, still keeps TOP in order. move down the field. i'm fine with that. Just get the TD's, not FG's.
Romo does not need to chuck it deep every play just because the LOS is stacked.
-----------
Its obvious the Rams will be taking this strategy against the Cowboys. If it works, every team will follow. I really wonder about the back issue with Romo.
------------
- unsuspecting cowboys take the SOSAR 'tude and step into a buzzsaw instead.
Rams 30, Cowboys 16

Suspect run D......I just can't pick the Rams this week.
The Rams O seems to be a mismatch with the Dallas D notated how bad they are.
Hopefully Romo has one of "those" games, outside of that,
Dallas 31
Rams 23

Much tougher team than the depleted Buccanners who weren't really that good even before all the injuries. Not making any predictions, but hoping for a surprise. Not expecting it, though.
