F defense, they better go into this game with the mentality of we need 30+ to win and just let it loose. If there ever was a game to hold nothing back (it should be every week but hey, we are who we are) it would be this one. As a full on Garrett hater however, I expect us to come into the game to "keep it close" and "play it safe". I hope I can come back and eat my crow but I doubt it. Prediction, Dallas gets worked over but Garrett keeps the scoreboard close enough to not look like a total fool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait. We dont have to imagine. We can just look at you. We gave up 7 plays of 20 yards, the most of any game all season, against Jeff Driskel and Bo Scarbrough. Whether or not Heath would have stopped any one specific play, it's impossible to say. He's certainly prone to getting beat. But you'd have to be dense not to see that losing Heath this year, for all his flaws, is not a good thing for our defense.

We dont know how the people behind him would develop because they havent had the opportunity. I will say this, Jeff has developed into a perfectly average safety. Which is far greater an achievement than I thought possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is far greater an achievement than I thought possible. I hate Heath as much as the next guy, want him gone now, wanted him gone two years ago and want him gone four years from now. But I will say, more often than not Heath is in the right place at the right time. He is 50/50 at best in terms of actually making the play and capitalizing on that but that comes down to more a lack of athletic ability. I would imagine some growing pains with the young guys behind them, but we need that, we need to get those reps because who knows, maybe we already have someone on the roster. Same thing at TE, younger guys need more chances it is getting downright pathetic that guys get PT based off a name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matts4313 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I just read that this game has the highest ticket prices of a reg season game ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I feel like this game is going to be similar to the Saints game...i.e. we play conservative on offense and end up losing a game we should have won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I feel like the most Dallas Cowboys thing to do would be to beat the Patriots and then lose to the Bills. So I feel pretty decent about the game this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
