Cowboys vs Panthers Prediction Thread?

[firstdayfan]

didnt we think that with the falcons game?

No, I didn't. I really thought we were going to lose and I predicted them to do so. I think we are due for a good game!

[ClawOn]

I can't fault you on that prediction. I just have a "feeling" about this game. I think the defense will tighten up and the offense will be able to make some big plays.

Glad someone is with me. I expected a loss the first two games (hoped for better). Romo isn't good when he presses, and after hearing all week that he sucks he'll press. The Cowboys will run for well over 100 and break a couple longer ones, but our defense will do enough with a refocused Beason. It's a spotlight game for Peppers, so he'll make a big play or two. Jake 1 TD, 1 INT, 2 rushing TDs:

Panthers 24

Cowboys 17

This is the ultimate clash of the titans. Which team, which fails under pressure, will fail under pressure more this week?

A few predictions.

• The Cowboys, as a team, have not registered a sack yet. I expect that to change this week as Jake just holds onto the ball for far too long. Dallas' rush will get to Jake.
  
• Barber may be banged, but Jones should get plenty of touches. We've been torched by a Jones from Dallas before, and I doubt that Carolina can contain Felix any better than Julius.
  
• This is a big game for our defense. I expect Beason to play well, but his play will not be enough. Peppers may hit the stat sheet this week with a tackle or two. He fails to step it up this week simply because we need him to.
  
• And on defensive talk... I expect that Romo will have all night to pick apart our secondary, and thus will look great to Cowboys fans, and NFL fans alike. This game alone will extend Romo's job in Dallas by 2-3 years because of the misconception that he finally stepped it up in a big game.

I don't think many people view this as a big game around the league. And I think that the coverage will tighten up this week.

It's a huge game for both teams involved, so it's a big game for Romo standards. The winner will come away with a renewed sense of confidence and be reinvigorated. The loser will be on the fast track to mediocrity.. or worse.

if Dallas had lost to Giants last week I would feel that an upset is more likely but theyre still waiting on their first home win at the stadium and you know Jones is majorly barking at them.

I think the Cowboy defense plays big at home on National TV. We keep it close early but the pressure gets to Jake and the sacks start coming in bunches....Jake succumbs to the pressure with a fumble and two picks. The TE's Witten and Bennett keep the chains moving all night for the Cowboy and we get behind 10 points at half time. After the half is when Jake starts forcing the ball and it's game over after that.

Cowpukes 34 - Panthers 17

It makes me freaking sick to write this and go into every game against a decent team and think we are more likely to lose than win. Jerry Richardson, John Fox, Jake Delhomme, Julius Peppers, John Beason, Jordan Gross, Jonathon Stewart, and Deangelo Williams - Please do SOMETHING to give this franchise hope for our future!!!! I wait all year for football season and to start 0-2, very possibly 0-3 is like a mule kick in the gonads on your birthday.

I feel ure pain my friend

Well my realistic predictions.

- Dallas stacks the box to take out our running "daring" Delhomme to beat them. Thus running backs are pretty contained.

D will - 12 carries 40 yards.

J-stewart 8 carries, 52 yards.

- I suspect Delhomme will attempt some check downs to the RB's so D-will will be more of a factor there.

D - will 4 catches 34 yards 1 TD.

J - Stew 2 catches 22 yards.

- However Delhomme can't shoulder the entire team on his arms, so he will get forced into some bad throws by DeMarcus Ware and Ratliff.

Delhomme - 23-38 258 yards 1 TD , 3 INT

Smith - 5 Catches 110 yds - 1 TD

Final Score - Cowboys win their second home game.

30-17.
