Yep. No one knew the Texans and Jets were bad until they lost to Carolina.

Good talk. I think McCaffrey is a huge loss that really tips the scales and takes away a lot of opportunities for Carolina to exploit Dallas. I fully expect the Panthers DL to perform. Jones is the weakest link and he's really good. DB was my favorite Tiger his last year and Burns and Reddick are possibly the best set of edge defenders in the league. I think Dallas will have to pass just based on the scheme Carolina will deploy but if they can run it will be a problem. Dallas has a ton of weapons in the short passing game and Dak can take whatever is available. If they can confuse him enough to skip one beat it will be a lot harder. Personally I don't have a lot of faith in Darnold and the Panthers OL. Moore is a beast but I think you can scheme away one guy and Arnold and Mc will make the easy one on ones a lot tougher on him. Would have liked to seen both teams healthy but I had yall as my dark horse playoff team based on your schedule and the Saints collapsing so I hope yall have a good season. Just not Sunday

Most of those plays were Herbert and Brady. Hurts was completely dominated but did put up yards once Dallas pulled their starters. Biggest difference is that TB and LAC both have really good OL to block it up. The Eagles were shorthanded on the OL and Dallas was in the backfield a lot.

Zeke is currently the number 2 running back by DVOA. His backup is number 1.

Dak makes the line adjustments with Zack Martin.

Good write up but Dallas has a better defense than the Texans

Tenses are all the rage this holiday season.

Dallas needs it more. Panthers have a chip on their shoulder so I'd say motivation won't be hard to come by for either team playing on the big stage. Panthers defense has no holes outside of nickel corner. Their DL can get pressure without blitzing. LBs are going to make running difficult. I think it will actually be an ugly game. Cowboys defense is actually better than they look. Easy to run on but hard to score on. Dallas actually has a TE cover specialist in Byron Jones but he probably won't be able to do it enough because our starter is out. Dallas is going to try and play keep away, have to protect the ball. Dez will get his if Norman is playing him 1-1. This is a big test for both teams but I don't even think Dallas is out if they lose because the Giants have some tough games. TOP is going to be big so whichever offense does the most with their opportunities wins. Hope its Dallas.

OP said he wouldn't crack the Top 5 QBs the Panthers have faced. That's wrong. Subsequent posts have relied on everything but facts to refute my rebuttals. Sorry Chief.

You know as much about me as you apparently do about the team Carolina is playing tomorrow. Yet in both cases you're comfortable making an assessment on their worth. Sounds like your projecting again. Try harder Alice.

You personally have yet to display any facts and have now resorted to baseless personal attacks for the sin of attacking your narrative the Tony Romo is not a good QB. This after a call out thread linking to the Cowboys board. In no way have I attacked anyone here personally. I'm only attacking your arguments, or in your case your lack of them. Going the route you've chosen says way more about you than anything in my posts says about me. What kind of people attack someone for engaging in an activity they're currently engaged in?

Yet all you have is a bunch of blanket statements with no basis in reality in retort. Your projection is showing. There are ways to refute an argument yet you seem to resort to posting without evidence and simply rely on the echo chamber in here to buttress your opinion. Hilarious too that y'all have a post up about the remaining schedule. Majority opinion is that 3-7 team is the hardest remaining game but in here you think Romo is an average QB that's not among the top 5 of the mostly garbage QBs you've faced so far. Them ain't bears out there Davy.

Yeah the recent history of those teams is really solid too. You all should be hoping Dallas wins. The last two undefeated teams Romo has faced have lost. But gone onto win the Super Bowl.

So only winning the Super Bowl is worthy of merit? Well sorry for your franchise then.
