quiller Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I had some expectation of us being able to compete, mostly based on our offense handling Tampa's DL and keeping in the game. Actually we still have a chance if Collins can play. I am not that worried about Knight unless Collins is out. I see Knight as no 5OT. The Conner's are capable of doing an adequate job handling the inside with our Center. What we need is some contain of the front 4 so TB has to blitz to get to the QB. That will open things up for Dak and the passing game. I don't think any team can handle our three WR's and TE with out a lot of double teaming.

Yeah, I just spent a fruitless hour back to work day 1 professional development explaining to the district that me, and 5 people I know but have not had contact with, all vaccinated, all got sick for a minimum of 2 weeks. 2 of my friends were hospitalized. Their response was they are "following the instruction of the state." Problem is, the state is NOT being totally honest and upfront with us. The vaccine may have suppressed the Delta variant enough to keep me out of the hospital, but that's not true for everyone. Bottom line, we are all going to have to get this at some point to develop true antibodies to fight it or other variants of it. When enough people get the virus and survive it, we will have here immunity and it will not be so dangerous. Just my opinion, well actually, my mother's. She spent 30 years working for the department of infectious control in Phila. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northland Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I vote for more mediocrity. Its been the only constant for 26 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Outside of winning the game of course, just show some real life. Offensively and defensively. No ugly loses. Can the defense for once be a force instead of vanilla pudding soft?? Can we actually get a turnover or 2 on defense, SP Teams?? Give me something to believe in. Shet even fool's gold would e nice.

TheBeast23 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I think it’s pretty clear here we probably don’t win this game. I’d like to see all this swagger and intensity of the defense that was shown on hard knocks so far and see much improvement but I see us going down 31-24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plan9misfit Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Welp, I know that I won’t be starting Zeke this week on my fantasy team. I’ll sure as hell be starting Ronald Jones, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a week or so ago that covid would be taking starters out thus making it impossible to rely on them for an entire season. That's why I made such a stink about our back ups sucking so bad. Well, week 1 and here we are. Find me all the backup guards across the league that are significantly preferable to McGovern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to sport trav he is the 87th highest paid G in the league. All that means fly 💩. What does mean something is how bad our O line looked in 4 games with these guys starting. And to refresh your memory, I wasn't ranking on the players, I was badmouthing the coaching. If McGovern is a solid back up G, I didn't see it in preseason. That's poor coaching. Clearly you believe he can play And at a high level. I just didn't see it. And that's on the coach. A good coach can take a player with potential and at least make him serviceable. He can be trusted NOT to be singled out by a good DC and exploited as a weakness. That's poor coaching if that happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiller Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) well I disagree that McGovern, Biadaz and Williams looked 'bad' this preseason. In fact I think they looked rather good when playing in their natural position. The only OL that I felt looked bad this preseason has been Nsekhe and knight.

buddy_z34 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 To beat that defense Dak needs to not hold onto the ball that long. I believe last year Dak was amongst the fastest to get rid of the ball. If the defense can play average and not give points on every drive this game is winnable.

WizardHawk Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I’m pretty confident Dallas can hang 30 on any team in the league. Just need DQ and his D to hold up their end of the deal. Would be tough to find a better test out of the gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
