Dallas (-2.5) at Denver (9-17-17)

[oldunclemark]

4:25 EST    The "A' Team..Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews on FOX

mis-70s with a slight chance of rain in the Mile High stadium in Denver = over-under at 42. 5

 

Only the 13th meeting all-time of two of the NFL's marquee franchises

High society matchup of Dallas's top O-line and NFL rush champ Ezekiel Elliott against Denver's 'No Fly Zone' defense.

Pro Bowlers Dez Bryant and Aquib Talib go head to head ..and they wont get along..

Zeke is still on the lam...and on the run/////he ran 24 times for 104 yards last week in the home win over the Giants.

Broncos led SD 24-7 and held to to win with Trevor Siemian throwing for 2 TDs...Von Miller got no sacks in the opener..and he'll want to sack Zak, the Cowboys' Rookie of the Year QB Zak Prescott, who was 24 of 39 for 266 yards in week one

 

Denver safety Darian Stewart is questionable and his loss would be big in this one.

Cowboys CB Orlando Sandrick broke his hand last week and is out...and his loss will be felt

 

Stay away from this one. There's no way to read it..they just never meet

I like the over....remember ..this is field goal heaven

Go Cowboys. 

 

This is a great game where Dak can shine and have a good one, I'm hoping. 

 

 

Love this kid and am rooting for him every step of the way. Dak is going to be something special in the future...

[King Colt]

Pulling for Denver but................

[Gramz]

Hey Mark...   

 

I think this will be a good matchup.   It's always hard to go against Denver at home, but Dallas may pull it off.

 

Is Zeke playing this weekend, or has his suspension started?

[Luck is Good]

I can't stand the Cowboys but they're good. They'll win this game 23-17

Zeke is playing Gramz. Denver is very tough at home but I have a feeling the Boys can score enough to win this one. 20-16 Dallas is my pick.

[oldunclemark]

       4 years ago it was Tony Romo vs. Peyton..and both have ridden off into the sunset

How many players who played in the Denevr at Dallas game 4 years ago..(its a a shame Romo wont be broadcasting this one) are still on either team.?

 

Now its ....Dak and Trevor..attack of the low round draft choices...

Zeke gets to play at least this Sunday.....so he'll be out there.

Before the evil Roger Goddell puts the handcuffs on a totally innocent man

 

I love home games in Denver where the crowd and the atmosphere is such a factor.

It feels like college football there..

I cant know what its like on the field but I think that if you have not played a road game in Denver or Seattle...you don't know what its like

Both were drafted earlier than Romo  was

Not true.

I know what you mean but I know you know that Romo was not a draft choice...

Right,   he wasn't drafted.   So dak and Trevor were drafted higher than him

Semantics.

 

Dak and Trevor were were 'chosen' ahead of him..not drafted ahead of Tony, who may not have been chosen either.......He probably pursued his own deal..may have picked from more than one offer

,.,.but Sunday, as I said,  is the attack of the 'low-round draft choices'...of which Romo cannot be one...because,

as we both agree, he was not drafted. Right?

 Denver loses Jared Crick to season ending back surgery and they sign Ahtyba Rubin, a NT who started all 16 games for Seattle last year.

 

Wonder if a certain Midwest team know an experienced 30-something NT was available?

Yes.  I'm sure they knew he was available

Yes, and I don't know why people want the Colts to sign every FA out there. We have Hankins, so we don't need Rubin.

Maybe. He's 31...but you rotate nose tackles.....low price.

Played every game for Seattle the last two years........big run stuffer....310 pounds..

......I hear you about Hankins...but the Broncos have a staring nose tackle, too...and they signed him for depth....a rotation guy

....this guy is dependable, if anything.

Seattle let him go when they got Sheldon Richardson....not because he cant play

 

For $2 mil or so...that's no risk and a bargain....are we weak against the run?

I guess I haven't given up on this season yet

Here is a funny story about how Dak Prescott missed out on being a Bronco because he missed a flight:

 

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/broncos/dak-prescott-admits-missed-flight-cost-him-chance-with-broncos

 

 

[oldunclemark]

 

.....Dak was fortunate there.....He got to go to a team with 3 all-pro O-linemen instead of a Denver team with, well,   Somewhat less than 3 all-pro O-linemen

[oldunclemark]

Quick start for the Broncos...7-0

[Gramz]

  I'm rooting for both offenses this game.   Have CJ Anderson, Emmanuel Sanders and Zeke on my Fantasy team.

This should be a great game, I am flipping between this and the Cubs game. Congrats on the Indians winning 22 in a row, that will never happen again.

[oldunclemark]

Game stopped due to thunderstorms??  Really?

  I went outside to water my flowers, came back in and the network had switched to Redskins Rams game.  I wondered what happened.   Thanks.

 

It's a Beautiful sunshiny day here.

Dallas ties it up after a 1 hour delay.  Dak to Dez

Denver's right tackle is getting smoked  like a Christmas ham

[oldunclemark]

 Its funny. Trevor Siemian still yells 'Omaha' when he's calling signals

[oldunclemark]

 21-7 Denver...Dallas corner backs are hurting

[oldunclemark]

21-10 at the half but the Broncos cant sack Dac

[oldunclemark]

OMG...35-10   4 Tds for Siemian....didnt see this coming

[chad72]

Love the Cowboys getting romped

Somewhere..in a dark place..Skip Bayless is sad

[2006Coltsbestever]

Holy * is it 35-10

[chad72]

Prescott cannot carry a team on his arm. His balls are not as accurate over 15 yards.

[2006Coltsbestever]

MileHigh pure torture

[oldunclemark]

       Dak isn't playing overly bad..He just has to get the ball out quickly..

 

  That O-line is being overrun

[buffalo34]

Well, this game is over.

 

Cowboys in the midst of a 25-point comeback, like a certain Super Bowl which shall not be named.

 

Time for Prescott to blow down the field for an easy TD.

[oldunclemark]

Over-under was 42.5....Its 35-17 with 12 minutes to go

[chad72]

Broncos, like the previous game vs Chargers, will play conservative and allow some garbage time TDs
