Official Game Thread - Week 7 - Commanders @ Cowboys

[SkinsFTW]

We have a bunch of nobodies at WR and the betting sites have the over/under at 53.5

This is when you know your team has a franchise QB.

We don't have our top 3 receivers but we still have 5 and he's getting more healthy and in rhythm every game. He's also highly motivated after last game. Even with those 3 out, Kliff will still give Jayden a chance against that secondary who has allowed a ton of big plays.

Our line has been pretty good for most of the season so I'd expect them to bounce back after that ugly performance, especially with Sam back. This game will almost come down to our line more than anything else. If they give 5 time, he will make plays even with those injuries and Bill will have a massive day

 

[Spearfeather]

Yeah i see this as a grind it out and limit the Cowboys possessions type game if we can. Long drawn out drives are likely our best bet.

This is what I'm thinking, also.
Run, run, run.
Merrit should end up with at least 15 carries.
Convert third downs. You know, ... with the occasional 75 yard bomb to McCaffrey.
Keep their offense off the field and slow the game down.

Of course, a lot of this depends on us not going down 10 - 14 points early.

 

[RedWolf]

You guys have a lot more hope than I do at this point

We are now +1.5 after the Deebo news. Over was at 56.5, now 53.5.

And both teams have dog shit defenses.

 

[Dlts20]

Take Jaydens brace off. He may need to rush for 60 plus tomorrow also

Yeah if Heinicke, Howell, etc was the QB we'd be 10 point dogs

Cosmic back is huuuuuge! Not sure if it cancels out the WR injuries, but it certainly does help

Yeah, Cosmi should be a big improvement. It seemed like every time I saw Wiley last week, he was escorting a defender to Jayden. Maybe he wasn’t that bad, but I felt like that was the only time I saw his name.

In the Chargers game, it was his wiff that got Bill instantly hit for his fumble

This is one of those games where something happens that no one expects and I think that is our D will hold down the Cowboys offense. I think that Dallas will struggle on offense tomorrow and that will catch all of the media and fans from both sides off guard

Yeah..the announcers won't know what to do when they have to deviate from the whole "fawning over Dallass" script.
I can't wait!

 

[Faithful Fan]

Missing your top three wideouts hurts, but I guess this is a good opportunity for Luke McCaffery and Jayline Lane.

I don't know about that. I've been covered by dog shit before.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Many of you are far more confident than I am. Teams are not threatened by our WRs, even this team. They will stack the box and take away the runs, both from the backs and the QB. I don't know how anyone can feel confident that our secondary will stay with their receivers. Jayden has to be special today. Not good special. Still waiting on special.

Jayden has proven to be special by putting the team on his back and willing W's.

Another big advantage we have contains the word you keyed in on, special. We have an incredible Special Teams Unit that can change momentum in an instant.

Hasn't been seen so far this season.

Last year is last year.

The difference is he finally appears healthy and he understands the position the team is in with all the missing weapons.
