Week 3 GDT - Arizona Cardinals vs. Dallas Cowboys (MNF)

[CWood21 2,058]

Should be a good game on Monday Night Football.

Any plans for the game?  Any predictions @LuckyNumber11 @DirtyDez @11sanchez11?

Was looking at tickets the other day, north of $180 a piece at the time, they've dropped 70 bucks since then. Still a bit out of my price range, might go watch the game in Westgate though. Haven't decided yet. 

I really don't know what to expect. Dallas looked pretty bad last week against a great defense, which I think we have. Denver by all means has a below average offense and decimated their defense too. I would call us a Denver light this year, so I think we've got a good chance assuming Elliot doesn't wake up this week. 

Anticipate a low scoring game where pundits argue was boring the day after. I swear that happens every time the Cards are on primetime. My guess would be 20-17 Cards in a nail biter. One of our touchdowns is a defensive touchdown too.

Looks like Deone, Gresham, and Iupati will be back. 

Probably no DJ but hopefully Wetzel plays as well as he did last week.

When the Cowboys visit Arizona of late, it’s provided quite the show. The last three times, it’s been decided at the very end.

* In 2008, the game goes to overtime, and the Sean Morey blocks a punt, with Monty Beisel recovering in the end zone for a 30-24 win;
* In 2010, on Christmas night, the Cardinals blew a 21-3 lead and then got a Jay Feely field goal with five seconds left for a 27-26 win;
* In 2011, Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey misses a 49-yard field goal on the final play of regulation and the game went to overtime. LaRod Stephens-Howling then grabbed a Kevin Kolb dump pass and raced 52 yards for the game-winning touchdown.

hopefully the game resembles the last couple

No DJ, which is fine, or JB12, which is not. Hopefully Veldheer plays better and Wetzel maintains his play from last week, we could be effective if that happens. Deone is back which will help pass defense from the LBs, last year he had the lowest yards per coverage snap in the entire league from LBs. Hopefully Bob Kim can make some plays.

Also saw on PFF that we are the only team that is averaging first contact behind the LOS while defending the run. Hopefully that keeps up.

John Wetzel, John Pretzel hell call him Johnny Cash don't matter to me.. AZ 1-2// Good luck boys.

We have absolutely dominated this first half... but it's tied. And the offensive line had its pants on the ground there towards the end

 

Sounds like a recipe for a loss

[LuckyNumber11 166]

Well that game was stupid. We need Humphries and Iupati back desperately but Veldheer still sucks. Defense is still good but field position killed us. I know it was lost already but our time management down the stretch sucked too. Don't know what to think about this team

Veldheer needs to get out of the lineup if we have any chance. DJ at LT and Wetzel at RT, Iupati at LG and Boone at RG.

And it really doesn't help that Shipley stands there unless someone runs straight at him too

And finished w/o giving up a catch so he has allowed 2 catches all year.
