We added a corner, seems like a physical guy.

Cowboys sign Deante Burton off Colts’ practice squad

Getty Images The Cowboys signed cornerback Deante Burton off Indianapolis’ practice squad, Jason Garrett said Wednesday. Burton takes the roster spot left vacant when the Cowboys placed cornerback Anthony Brown on injured reserve. Burton, 25, played one game for Atlanta and two for Houston...

Zoners all crying and pouting that they signed this guy to the roster instead of Donovan Olumba. Of course they forget Olumba is slow and had a tendency to get his hands all over other receivers in preseason.

Flu bug ravages Cowboys ahead of Patriots game

The Dallas Cowboys are currently preparing to face the defending champion New England Patriots, and at the same time they’ve been ravaged by the flu.

Calvin Watkins of Dallas News shared this nasty news, noting the team has preemptively bolstered star quarterback Dak Prescott with medication to prevent him getting sick, too.

This is a huge game for both teams as they prepare for the stretch run ahead of the playoffs. Dallas, at 6-4, lead the NFC East by just one game over the Philadelphia Eagles. Injuries have been a challenge, and now the flu bug is taking its toll.
New England, at 9-1, leads all AFC teams and currently holds a two-game lead over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East. However, quarterback Tom Brady has been frustrated by the offense’s production of late, and he’s now dealing with an elbow injury.

The legendary quarterback is in the midst of a frustrating year for him, despite the Patriots' 9-1 record heading into Week 12. After New England narrowly beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Brady expressed his frustrations in a postgame media session that had one teammate saying it felt like they lost that game.

Nevertheless, it would take quite a bit to keep Brady from playing Sunday as he and his teammates attempt to break out of their current funk and get ready for the playoff push.

Pats are short on weapons but their overall defense is superior to ours. That's how they'll win the game.

#1 Offense vs #1 Defense

These second half of the season big matchups are Garrett's specialty.
He'll have the team fired up and scratching, fighting, and clawing like you never saw before.

, just kidding, he already has his post game presser ready to go, he just has to fill in the names of the guys he's gonna throw under the bus.

I really want this team to show us all something about itself, and not just beat the Pats, but stuff them.
I say this knowing full well that what I'll take from this game is nothing new. Garrett is outcoached by just about everyone, and Big Bill will more than likely stomp us flat.

 

[Scot]

This game will be lost directly because of Garrett’s coaching

 

[yimyammer]

I expect to see Cowboys players visibly confused at several points throughout the game

The Pats will outsmart, out-coach, outwit & out execute Dallas in what will likely be a blow out that will appear closer due to the Pats going into prevent in the last quarter or two. Should be something like 33-20 Pats when its all said and done.

Unless Garrett completely changes his MO and comes out gambling and aggressive and is successful with this atypical start but if it doesn't work, the rout might be ignited earlier

If the weather makes the field a mess and its raining, it could turn into a lower scoring affair I still expect the Pats to dominate but with a lower score, like 20-3

I just cant see any scenario where Dallas's approach to the game can compete with the Pats

I would but most are shit faced.

I just saw a stat that Brady has NEVER lost to the Cowboys as a starter

 

[Ragnar]

The last time Dallas beat the Patriots was in 1996.

 

[Dodger12]

Raining this morning and supposed to rain all day. It’s miserable but I like this kind of weather. It’s old school football weather and the only thing better is snow.

Thank you for not stopping to say hello

That would have made phillip jealous

Pats are short on weapons but they have Belichick and we have Garrett. That's how they'll win the game.

Well it isn't like he has 25 starts against them. They play every 4 years. 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015 are the games he has won vs us.

Here's another one, Belichick as a HC has only lost once to the Cowboys. It was the season opener in 1991. Norv's first as OC.
