What Some Cowboys Fans are Thinking :

If you're too lazy to click  heres a summary:

- Cowboys still lead the all time series 9 wins - 4 losses 

- Both our offense and defense team stats from last year are very simular 

- We both have significant O-line players out for this game, and we both have a notable defender out on a suspension 

- They think their defense is vastly improved/better

- Admitted they dont have the best WR situation

- Admitted we vastly improved our WR situation

Some quotes from the comments section: 

"A loss would be hugely disappointing. With as injured as their O line is, if this defense is even average we should be able to shut them down."

"Guys this will not be a road game at all. We will have more fans as them"

"Their godawful O-line against our new and improved D-line is a matchup I really want to see. We could make Cam's life really suck."

"Poe and Short concern me the most. Connor has struggled against power and Looney isn't Fredbeard. If they push the line of scrimmage and let Kuechly get going downhill, could be a long day for Zeke."

"I love opening on the road. Pressure is 100% on the Panthers to hold serve—"

"Panthers fans are being extremely arrogant and really downplaying our defense and receivers in their forum"

"I'm in the foothills of NC, can't stand Newton."

They sound kinda misinformed about our oline situation. They might not have a clue about Moton or how bad Matt was, or how huge it would be if D. Williams plays.

Dallas will only have one starter from the offensive line out next Sunday, Travis Frederick.

Tyron Smith, Connor Williams, Zack Martin, and La'el Collins have been cleared. Smith had a good training camp/preseason and Martin only had a bruised knee.

Can’t wait for Moton and Daryl to stonewall their Dline and peak Cam Newton slice up their terrible secondary through the air.

Front Seven has been monstrous against the run in preseason. Should easily shut down Zeke and force Dak to pass. While he’s a better passer than given credit (much like Cam), he’s not in elite tier yet and our defense should be able to handle him.

Curtis Samuel will be going off as long as the Panthers play him. Our receivers, CMC, and Norv Turner is gonna be so fun to watch.

Cam plays like he has all preseason (which basically looked like a continuation from his performance against the Saints in the playoffs) he’ll easily be bringing up an easy dub at home.

Even with our OLine being what it is....the panthers are not a good matchup for them. 

I think they struggle to put together drives and I think Cam/Norv find their rhythm. I’m not sure if they have an answer for CMC on a Texas route and I also think our WR’s win more often than not against them also. Olsen eats all day as well  

 

I think Panthers grind them down and pull away 24-13

And?

I mean, they’re Cowpuke fans so what do you expect?

I wanted to offer a clarification to what was said in the original post. 

[2244]

I think the coaching in this game is more interesting than the personnel.

Jason Garrett played under Norv Turner and Dallas' current offense is actually a variation of what Norv did in Dallas in the 90s. Student vs. teach matchups are always fun.

Kris Richard is being groomed to take over Dallas' defense and when he was in Seattle, the Panthers and Seahawks made for good games.

It should be an entertaining matchup, one way or the other.

Well, heck most Panthers fans probably aren't informed about our Oline given the huge swing in the situation today....

So we worry about a rookie in Conner Williams and Martin on a bum knee? Nah I think our front 7 can handle that. Then u have to make sure a wr will get open that quick.

Lol, it was just a clarification. Nothing more, nothing less.
