When something looks too easy, like the narrative of the hot Rams vs the struggling Cowboys, normally the opposite happens.

I don't like that aspect of this.

How come the opposite didn't happen against the ravens?

Rams hit the gas on Dallas first half like we did Seattle its game over man game over...No reason why the Rams shouldn’t be up 2-3 TDs. People must have a lot of faith in Garrett. I know Rynie does.
 
Being 3 point favorites at home is like being even. Despite Dallas' struggles they still have a good team with some impressive stats. One beat writer claims that the Cowboys suffer from immense pressure and high expectations, the likes of which no players can handle or live up to. Maybe he's right. Let's hope the crushing pressure has them half defeated before the coin toss, because without their own regressions, I see a pretty good team that can put together a good game on any given Sunday.
 
Why I'm nervous: could be a let down game on the road and/or Dallas gets up for a home game with their season on the line.

Why I'm not nervous: So much in the NFL comes down to coaching and right now, they're a dumpster fire on both sides of the ball. Everyone pretty much knows that Garrett isn't gonna survive the off-season purge and the Cowboys likely already have their eye on who they want to replace him. Dunno why, but in the NFL, an outgoing coach either galvanizes a team or breaks them and the last few games it looks like it's broken them.

If we get up on them early, I think they wilt. If they get up early, I think it'll be a downright dogfight the whole game.

Sure I think that there is a chance for the Cowboys to have a gut check and bring their A game.

I also think that there is a good chance that the stress has worn them out and that the speculation of a coaching change has them quitting on this current staff. They may very well have lost faith in the coaching.

The Rams play well on the road. They are on an upswing and seem to be clicking on all offense and defense. So even if the Cowboys somehow find the desire and game plan to fight to the death, the Rams will too and can win that match. There is one game that the Rams lost and I’d still have doubts that they could win in a rematch with the current structure of the roster and mindset of the team. That’s the Ravens. I have no doubt that they can beat the Steelers, Buccaneers, or Niners...and they just proved they can defeat Seattle. I think a Ravens rematch would be a much closer game. So I don’t fear the Cowboys.

I think Gurley will have a big game this Sunday. Im sure it won't be a walk in the park but I expect a win nonetheless.

IT will be a good opportunity to test the health of the Cowboys NT Antwaun Woods & SS Jeff Heath early. With LB'ers weakside Leigthon Vander Esch still out & his back up Sean Lee continues not to practice & hurt there sure appears that Gurley will have some hole out there if he can see them.

The weak side would be where I would attack early where Quinn, Woods(Injured) & Sean Lee(injured) have responsibilities & hand out. Those blocking assignments would go to Andrew Whitworth, Austin Corbett, Austin Blythe & the wideouts lining up outside Whitworth. Its always smart to run directly @ Robert Quinn!

With the Cowboys defense having a large amount of starters nursing injuries pounding the ball by running should take it toll in the 2nd half. If you can recall last season just about a year ago Gurley (when not healthy) ran all over the Cowboys defense. That defense was in much better shape then than now.

We don’t know what Cowboys team shows up on Sunday.

they have talent. But it’s more about us. If we are truly back, and the OL continues to play well, it won’t be close.

I agree max. The Rams have to play well again, they can't let this Cowboys team beat them. It would be embarrassing if that happened after seeing what @BonifayRam posted about injuries.

As expected, I'll have no TV coverage of the game in NorCal. Friggin' Whiners...

Hopefully, I'll find a stream.
 
This is the game that tells all.

If we can go in there and roll the cowboys then we are back to 2018 form and will go deep in the playoffs.

If we are back to struggling, then kiss the season goodbye.

If we roll the Cowboys we will go into SF and pound them.

I think Dak is folding under pressure. Plus Prescott (Wednesday) practiced with tape on two fingers on his right (throwing) hand and a bruised left hand.

Prescott is, and always has been, a garbage time quarterback.

Against teams with a winning record:

MIN 101.4 Rate
NO 76.2 Rate
GB 83.8 Rate
NE 64.2 Rate
BUF 91.8 Rate
CHI 83.2 Rate

And BUF/CHI are really inflated with late garbage TD's.
