NFL Week #6: TNF | Dallas Cowboys (4-1) @ Seattle Seahawks (4-1)

[Everlastingxxx]

The way Seattle plays defense with Cover 3, its daring you to beat them deep. I think the Cowboys are going to open up stretching the field. Witten has to have a huge game. He had a number of opportunities the last time they played in 2012, but that was the weird game where he couldnt catch. I dont like the Sherman/Bryant matchup. Williams will have to be the star again.

Thank God Linehan is running things now. Remember that Denver game in 2008 or 09 or whenever when from inside the 10 with two downs to play and the game on the line dumbshit Garrett went to Sam Hurd on Champ Bailey both times and after the game claimed we liked that matchup?

Why? Sherman is so fucking overrated. He's hype, and of his own making.

We need another big game from Murray.

Last time he played against Bryant held him to 17 fucking yards. You might be able to complete a pass or two but you wont make a living throwing his way.

Don't agree.

Yeah your right, that was Garrett throwing those passes to Hurd

I totally forgot. I thought it was some guy named Romo.

I don't think Sherman is Michael Haynes or Deion in his prime by any sense, but Sherman is damn good.

He gets 'em all caught up in the smack talk and the physical wrestling, and they forget they're supposed to be like, getting open and stuff. Gave up 17 yds to Bryant exactly this way.

You take them all-pro safeties away, and he is mediocre. They the ones that make that secondary.

Hawks have a great defense, but they don't exactly hound the QB like the '85 Bears. I see them making a determined effort to stop Murray, meaning Romo will have to win it with his arm. I can also see Dez getting super frustrated and throwing tantrums if Sherman at al shut him down.

Teams hire coaches for a reason. Dallas just hasn't had one since Parcells left so you don't know what TE means.

You missed Mr. New Era saying that was the matchup we wanted.

Cowboys plan to challenge Richard Sherman


While the Green Bay Packers didn't challenge Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman at all in the season-opener and the Washington Redskins went at him three times on Monday night, the Dallas Cowboys expect to go after him more than that on Sunday, Calvin Watkins of ESPN Dallas reports.

"With all of the respect we have for him, we're going to have to give him some business over there or we will hurt the balance of what we can do relative to certainly the passing game," Cowboys' owner/general manager Jerry Jones said Friday on 105.3 FM The Fan. "We can't run from him. That's easy to say and hard to do. We got to challenge him and make him at least cover us one-on-one and Dez of course is the guy who can do it. So I don't see us compromising the rest of our offense by running from Sherman like that."

"I know Deion (Sanders) was such a force for us, that people would run from him and it played right into our hands," Jones said in referring to the Hall of Famer cornerback who played for the Cowboys. "We had 10 people on nine players a lot of time because of Deion Sanders."

The Cowboys are not a team afraid of going after an opponent's best players on defense. Last week against Houston, the Cowboys ran at defensive end J.J. Watt regardless if he played off the edge or at tackle.

Sherman only plays one side of the field though. They can get him the ball if they really push it.

 

[dbair1967]

You missed Mr. New Era saying that was the matchup we wanted.

Yeah, he probably meant they got their best CB to cover our WR, and other people were probably wide open.

The QB never looked anywhere else.

Garrett deserves blame for a lot of stuff, but its up to the QB to decide where to throw the ball.

 

[dbair1967]

I'm not expecting a win tomorrow and really wouldn't be all that surprised if Seattle won fairly convincingly. I think they will likely make a lot of big plays on us not only with those read option plays but probably throwing the ball downfield too. We almost assuredly will need a safety up to help stop their run game, and that will mean guys will have a chance downfield on us.

Good test for us though, we'll get a good idea of how close or how far we are away I think.

I lean towards staying pretty vanilla, I might get laughed at for saying this but, save any "gotcha" stuff you have for Seattle, for the playoffs bub. This game doesn't really count.

I dont agree at all. I think you throw everything at them. The Hawks are used to the conservative game plans. The few plays that have worked against them have been long balls. I think in this case, a moral victory would help the Cowboys confidence vs being blown out. I woke up today believing the Cowboys have a chance.

I think they have a chance too and I've even picked them to win.

This is week 6. The game is not important in the larger scheme. I don't see the point in showing them what they might be facing come playoff time, if we get there. Just play our game we have been playing, let's see how they do stopping that. Save the all out risk taking kill shots for the playoffs.

4 first qtr TDs by Flaco. Then in like the first minute of the 2nd qtr Flaco throws a bomb for another td.

5 TDs already. Smoking the Bucs... And whoever is playing against him in FF.
